Lucid Motors just delayed its affordable EV. Now what?
TechCrunch·August 5, 2026
Lucid Motors has delayed the release of its affordable electric vehicle, the Cosmos EV, until the second half of 2027. According to CEO Silvio Napoli, the company is prioritizing getting the EV right, rather than rushing its launch. Meanwhile, Lucid Motors is also focusing on its nearer-term robotaxi project in collaboration with Uber and Nuro. The delay allows the company to ensure the quality of its upcoming EV and pursue other key initiatives.
