Lucid Motors will offer $7,500 tax credit, which expires at the end of September for all EVs, for lessees of the Gravity SUV through a special program.
The Gravity Advantage Credit initiative requires lessees to order a Lucid Gravity by September 30 and take delivery between October 1 and December 31 to still get the $7,500 credit.
Lucid's second EV, which starts at $81,550 for the Touring model, faces an extended cast of German competitors but has the advantage of being produced stateside and is therefore not subject to import tariffs.
The long-popular $7,500 tax credit is going away in a matter of weeks, thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill, but perhaps not for all EVs and not at once. Automakers are understandably concerned about the effect it might have on the sales of some if not all vehicles—those deep in six-figure territory never really benefitted from it.
But the demise of the credit is expected to have an effect on quite a few automakers just as the end of the year clearance sales gain momentum.
As a result, some lessees interested in Lucid's luxury SUV can still take advantage of the credit through the Lucid Gravity Advantage Credit initiative, launched just a few days ago.
"We want to reassure customers who have already ordered a vehicle, which may not be built and delivered by the end of September, that they will still benefit from the $7,500 leasing tax credit, despite the impending expiration," the automaker said in a statement.
The initiative offers those who qualify and order a Lucid Gravity by September 30 and take delivery between October 1 and December 31 to still get the $7,500 credit.
"Our unique position stems from having specific color and trim combinations that only enter production in Q4," the automaker explained.





































It is worth noting that this deal applies only to lessees of the Gravity, rather than buyers of the model, as it starts at $81,550 for the Touring model, and stretches all the way up to $141,550.
With a dual-motor layout and 828 hp and 909 lb-ft of torque, the three-row SUV is powered by a beefy 123-kWh battery, which is good enough for 437 miles in the EPA cycle in seven-passenger form.
But the Gravity will do 450 miles if optioned in five-passenger form. And it's NACS-compatible from the factory as well.
"With the production of Lucid Gravity gaining significant momentum and increasing demand from both new and returning customers, Lucid aims to eliminate potential inconveniences and ensure customers can still benefit from the $7,500 leasing credit even after the federal EV Credit program expires on September 30," the EV maker said.
Given the generous number of pricey, three-row electric SUVs on sale at the moment, the focus is already on the next Lucid model, expected to be badged Earth and arriving as a 2028 model with a starting price just below the $50,000 mark.
Since the start of Lucid Air sales, the brand's offerings have been perceived as expensive, perhaps even hindering vehicle sales. The Earth is expected to finally address some of these concerns.

Once it arrives, the Earth will face an even greater cast of competitors than it does today, and will do so in what could be a very challenging tariff environment for foreign models.
Due to the expectation that it will be built not in Arizona—like its first two EVs—but in Saudi Arabia, the tariff situation by 2027 or 2028 could certainly complicate matters for the automaker in terms of affordability.
Can Lucid cut into Tesla's market share in the next five years, or will it perpetually be a lower-volume EV maker? Please comment below.
