The Kelce Car Jam is back, baby. Hosted by one of the NFL’s hottest stars (and Taylor Swift’s new fiancé), Travis Kelce, Lucid Motors (LCID) will be at the event, offering the chance to test drive its luxury electric vehicles. For every EV test drive, Lucid pledges to donate $87 to Kelce’s Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation.
Lucid donates to Travis Kelce Foundation for test drives
With Gravity production ramping up at its plant in Arizona, luxury EV maker Lucid plans to put the electric SUV to good use this weekend.
Fresh off his first win of the season, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced on his New Heights podcast that the Kelce Car Jam will kick off in Kansas City this Friday.
Kelce is promising to bring out some “new old schools,” including a ’99 Jeep Wrangler with woodgrain on the side, but a new generation of vehicles will also make an appearance.
Lucid will be at the event offering the chance to test drive two all-electric luxury vehicles, the Air and its new Gravity SUV.
“Lucid is a technology company looking to drive change around the world,” the company’s senior vice president of marketing, Akerho Oghoghomeh, said, adding that “our tour stop with Eighty-Seven & Running at the Kelce Car Jam in Kansas City is one way we’re leaving our mark in the community.”
For every test drive, Lucid said it will donate $87 to Kelce’s Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation, which is designed to help underserved youth in Kansas City and his hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running in 2015 to mentor disadvantaged youth, help develop their skills, and motivate them to reach their full potential. He said that after growing up in the diverse suburbs of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, he wanted to help those who weren’t fortunate enough to have the same support or opportunities as others.
The Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation hosts fundraising events, athletic programs, mentoring initiatives, and outreach programs to support the cause.
Since it started offering test drives, Lucid’s interim CEO Marc Winterhoff said the Gravity SUVs’ daily order rate has nearly doubled. Winterhoff claimed this week during an interview with Brew Markets that the Gravity has “so many orders,” it’s honoring the $7,500 federal tax credit until the end of the year.
