Any chance Lucid will prioritize Gravity Touring?

Now that the BBB had passed and is being signed by Trump today (July 4, 2025), there are fewer than 90 days left before the $7,500 federal tax credit on EVs is discontinued on October 1, 2025.

This would be a great time for Lucid to prioritize the Touring trim that should come right under $80,000 to qualify for the federal tax credit. It would make sense for Lucid to harvest the remaining 90 days worth of tax credit to sell more units and then go back to offering the more expensive trims once there is no more tax credit.

Thoughts?

Another thought I’ve just had is that once the federal tax credit expires on October 1, 2025, there will not be any barrier to raising the price of the Touring above $80,000, which I fully expect Lucid will do. So, perhaps, they don’t need to switch to Touring while they are production contraintes because they can price the Gravity Touring trim at probably $84,990 after the federal tax credit goes away.

I don't think they can pivot that fast.
