Holy tire patch, Batman!

I was reading this news a few minutes ago. My first thought is can they ramp production enough to deliver the Uber order and the retail customer orders? If they can it would be a very big win for them.

The Gravity seems like a perfect vehicle for rideshare given its interior space. My question is does this somewhat diminish the exclusivity of buying one for $100k+ when they are being used as Ubers?

Another article here from Uber's site: https://investor.uber.com/news-even...tion-Autonomous-Robotaxi-Program/default.aspx

Love the sales, but my subjective perception of robotaxis thus far is that the rollouts haven't gone well.

We are going to be driving around in our Gravitys and random people are going to be trying to jump in for a ride!

Lucid Motors 2025 : Lucid, Nuro, and Uber Partner on Next-Generation Autonomous Robotaxi Program

Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), Nuro, Inc. (“Nuro”), and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) (“Uber”) today announced a next-generation premium global robotaxi program created exclusively for the Uber ride-hailing platform.

Lucid, Nuro, and Uber Partner on Next-Generation Autonomous Robotaxi Program.

Uber aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with the Nuro Driver™ over six years in dozens of markets around the world, with the first launch in a major US city next year

Sign me up. I love Waymo. I’ll be more than happy to be carted around the city in Gravity.

What a world we live in. By the time these are rolled out, the robo part of a robotaxi will be a commodity. Waymo's product is already so good that I don't even consider Uber/Lyft with a human driver when a Waymo is available. So I guess they will be competing on the luxury experience of the Lucid car itself.

The stock is up big on this announcement. Hell, I may even catch up to my basis in the stock

Probably not the Dream Edition.

Great news! Assuming you can open the door when your Gravity robotaxi arrives!

It will be part of executive stuff, think corporate accounts for luxury Airport limos like Uber XXL or black. So not as much of a commodity. I mean noone wants to spend any large amount of time in the tin-sh*t can 2 seater that is a cybercab.

This is just hype, and Uber spreading its bets in the robotaxi game against Waymo. They are putting money into all of the machine driver companies around the world -- I had a (pretty ineffective) different one in Abu Dhabi earlier in the year.

“Uber aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with the Nuro Driver over six years.” That’ll be 5 this year for testing, and up to 19,995 more in 5 years if Nuro works. Hopefully it'll work with the DD2Pro sensors rather than that chonky package on the roof in the PR image.

Great press and further visibility for Lucid, though!

Hmmmmm.

 

[SaratogaLefty]

I wonder how the Gravity will look in bright yellow??

 

[illopp00]

IMO not great But it's AI Generated...

With the stock now up 42% any thoughts from the group on what this means for the brand? In any way does it "cheapen" the brand to hail a Lucid with your Uber app?

I do see this strengthening sales down the road as this rolls out, which is vital....but how might it change perception? "High tech partnership" = Positive or "Lucid = rideshare to the airport" = negative.
