Lucid Motors cuts electric vehicle production
Lucid Motors has reduced its electric vehicle production, reaching its lowest level in nearly two years. The company aims to align its output with market demand.
Lucid Motors built 2,954 electric vehicles in the third quarter of this year, marking a 54% drop from the previous year. This is the third consecutive quarter of decline for the company. Lucid delivered 3,806 vehicles in the same period, roughly flat with the previous quarter but down from the third quarter of 2025. The company has struggled to find buyers for its luxury models. In five of the last six quarters, Lucid built more vehicles than it delivered. The new CEO, Silvio Napoli, has led an effort to simplify the company, which has included layoffs and eliminating a shift at its Arizona factory. Additionally, the launch of its third model, the Cosmos, has been delayed, which is expected to be more affordable.
