SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2026
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026 or any other future interim or annual period.
Principles of Consolidation	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include, among others, inventory valuation, warranty reserve, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, fair value of derivative liabilities associated with the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, estimates of residual value guarantee (“RVG”) liability, deferred revenue related to technology access fees and over-the-air (“OTA”) software updates, sales return reserves, assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and estimated incremental borrowing rates for assessing operating and finance leases. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates and any such differences may be material.
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is primarily related to cash reserved or letters of credit issued for certain lease arrangements.
Accounts Receivable, Net	Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable consists of receivables from our customers and from financial institutions offering financing products to our customers for the sale of vehicles, sales of powertrain kits, services, and regulatory credits. The Company provides an allowance against accounts receivable for any potential uncollectible amounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash primarily with domestic financial institutions that are federally insured within statutory limits; however, its deposits exceed federally insured limits.
Concentration of Supply Risk	Concentration of Supply Risk The Company is dependent on its suppliers, the majority of which are single-source suppliers. The inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of its products according to the schedule and at prices, quality levels, and volumes acceptable to the Company, whether due to changes or uncertainties in trade policies, the imposition or proposed imposition of tariffs, threat of a trade war or otherwise, or its inability to efficiently manage these components, or the unavailability of stable domestic suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers Vehicle Sales Vehicle sales revenue is generated from the sale of EVs to customers. The Company generated total vehicle sales revenue of $264.7 million and $194.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The performance obligations identified in vehicle sale arrangements include delivery of the vehicle equipped with an onboard advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”), the provision of maintenance services, the remarketing activities, and the right to unspecified OTA software updates as they become available over the term of the basic vehicle warranty, which is generally four years. Payment is typically received at the time of delivery or shortly after delivery of the vehicle to the customer, except for vehicle sales under the EV Purchase Agreement. The Company recognizes revenue related to the vehicle when the customer obtains control of the vehicle which occurs at a point in time either upon completion of delivery to the agreed upon delivery location or upon pick up of the vehicle by the customer. As the unspecified OTA software updates are provided when-and-if they become available, revenue related to OTA software updates is recognized ratably over the basic vehicle warranty term, commencing when control of the vehicle is transferred to the customer. Payments received before the customer obtains control of the vehicle are recorded within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At the time of revenue recognition, the Company reduces the transaction price and records a sales return reserve against revenue for estimated variable consideration related to future returns. Return rate estimates are based on historical experience and the sales return reserve balance was not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $88.5 million and $87.5 million of total deferred revenue from all vehicle sales related to OTA, maintenance services, and remarketing activities for vehicle sales, respectively. The Company recorded $28.7 million and $30.0 million of the total deferred revenue within other current liabilities and the remaining $59.8 million and $57.5 million within other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company provides a residual value guarantee to its commercial banking partners in connection with its vehicle leasing program. Related vehicle sales represented approximately 41% and 57% of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Under the vehicle leasing program, the Company recognizes revenue when control transfers upon delivery when the consumer-lessee takes physical possession of the vehicle, and bifurcates the RVG at fair value and accounts for it as a reduction to revenue and a guarantee liability. The remaining amount of the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations. Any fees or incentives that are paid or payable by the Company to commercial banking partners are recognized as a reduction to vehicle sales revenue. The guarantee liability represents the estimated amount the Company expects to pay at the end of the lease term. The Company is released from residual risk upon either expiration or settlement of the RVG. The Company evaluates variables such as third-party residual value publications, risk of future price deterioration due to changes in market conditions and reconditioning costs to determine the estimated RVG liability. Vehicle Operating Lease Revenue The Company accounts for sales of vehicles with repurchase obligations as operating leases. The Company sells vehicles primarily to rental companies with an obligation to repurchase the vehicles at an agreed upon repurchase price. The Company records the difference between the proceeds received and the agreed upon repurchase price as vehicle leasing revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred leasing revenue and repurchase obligation were recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and were not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The operating lease revenue was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Sale and Leaseback Transactions The Company enters into sale and leaseback transactions in which the Company transfers control of vehicles to rental companies and simultaneously leases them back as operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue related to the vehicles under the arrangement when the rental companies obtain control of the vehicles and separately recognizes the lease obligations based on the present value of the future payments to the rental companies within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The Company also records right-of-use assets which are amortized over the term of the leaseback. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leaseback. The Company recorded revenue from sale and leaseback transactions of $34.4 million and $25.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating lease expenses were not material. Other Other consists primarily of revenue from non-warranty after-sales vehicle services and parts, sales of battery pack systems, powertrain kits, retail merchandise, regulatory credits, and sales of non-Lucid vehicles acquired as part of the trade-in program. The Company generates regulatory credits revenue from the sale of tradable credits the Company earns under various regulations. This includes credits related to ZEVs and greenhouse gas (“GHG”), and the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (“CAFE”) credits.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock	Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Accounting for the redeemable convertible preferred stock requires an evaluation to determine if liability classification is required under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10. Liability classification is required for freestanding financial instruments that are (1) subject to an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring assets, such as those that are mandatorily redeemable, (2) instruments other than equity shares that embody an obligation of the issuer to repurchase its equity shares, or (3) certain types of instruments that obligate the issuer to issue a variable number of equity shares. Securities that do not meet the scoping criteria to be classified as a liability under ASC 480 are subject to redeemable equity guidance, which prescribes securities that may be subject to redemption upon an event not solely within the Company’s control to be classified as temporary equity. Securities classified in temporary equity are initially measured at the proceeds received, net of issuance costs and excluding the fair value of bifurcated embedded derivatives, if any. Subsequent measurement of the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock is required as the instrument is probable of becoming redeemable. The Company accretes the redeemable convertible preferred stock to its redemption value. In certain circumstances, the redemption price may vary based on changes in stock price, in which case the Company recognizes changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the then current maximum redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative Liabilities	Derivative Liabilities The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including convertible notes and redeemable convertible preferred stock, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate complex terms and conditions in these contracts and agreements to determine whether embedded derivatives exist. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contracts if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting period end. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified as a separate liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to the conversion features embedded in the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 7 “Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock” for more information. Except for the policies described above, there have been no significant changes to accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Fair Value Measurement	The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the “exit price” that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between independent market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: •Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. •Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. The sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower measurement.

Except for the policies described above, there have been no significant changes to accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Fair Value Measurement

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the “exit price” that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between independent market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. The sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower measurement.
