| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Letters of Credit The Company maintains various stand-by letters of credit and guarantees from third-party financial institutions in the ordinary course of business to guarantee performance obligations related to certain vehicle and battery manufacturing, real estate leases, insurance policies, and other contractual arrangements. The letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding balances of $61.1 million and $75.5 million, respectively. Indemnification The Company has entered into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including governmental entities and other business partners. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party’s claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party arising from actual or threatened third-party claims related to the Company’s activities. It is not possible to determine the potential loss resulting from the contractual indemnification obligations because of the distinctive facts involved in any potential action arising from each indemnification provision. As of June 30, 2026, some contractual indemnification obligations were accrued with personal injury matters. See the “Personal Injury Matters” section below for more information. The Company’s Bylaws provide that it will indemnify directors and officers against certain costs and liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service to the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers to provide its directors and officers with additional indemnification and related rights. Legal Proceedings The Company is currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, regulatory inquiries, and governmental investigations in the ordinary course of business, which may include litigation by riders and third parties (individually or as class actions) alleging, but not limited to, various wage and expense claims, violations of state or federal laws, product liability and personal injury claims. The Company has determined that, except as disclosed below, no disclosure of estimated loss is required for these matters because: (1) there is not a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized (if any) may be incurred with respect to such matters (2) a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated, or (3) such estimate is immaterial. Due to the inherent nature of litigation, the outcomes of the Company’s current and potential future legal proceedings are not possible to predict with any certainty. For certain matters for which a material loss is probable and reasonably estimable, an estimate of the amount of loss is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Until there is finality to the resolution of the legal matters, the exposure to a loss individually, or in the aggregate, may differ from the amount recorded. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. Personal Injury Matters The Company is currently named as a defendant in a number of matters related to accidents or other incidents involving the use of its vehicles brought by riders and third parties. The Company disputes the allegations and continues to defend itself vigorously against such claims. The Company does not believe that these existing or threatened claims are individually likely to have a material impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations. Notwithstanding such, litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable, and legal proceedings arising from such incidents, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, despite the outcome, litigation may have an adverse impact to the Company because of defense and settlement costs individually and in the aggregate, including the diversion of management resources to defend such claims, and other factors. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had claims reserves of $60.7 million and $52.4 million, respectively, to cover the estimated costs for personal injury claims incurred but not paid and personal injury claims that have been incurred but not yet reported, as well as certain contractual indemnification obligations as described in the “Indemnification” section above. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a reserve of $1.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively, to cover settled but unpaid claims. Non-Income Tax Matters The Company is under audit by various domestic and foreign tax authorities with regard to non-income tax matters. The Company accrues non-income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Due to the inherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and judicial process in certain jurisdictions, the final outcome may be materially different from the Company’s expectations.
