Lucid Motors built twice as many electric vehicles in 2025 as it did in the prior year, a sign that the company has bounced back from early production struggles with its new Gravity SUV. <\/p>\n
The company announced<\/a> Monday that it finished the year having built 18,378 EVs, with 8,412 of those coming in the fourth quarter alone. That\u2019s more than Lucid built at its Casa Grande, Arizona factory in the first half of the year. Lucid also said it delivered \u2014 meaning sold \u2014 15,841 vehicles across the whole year, a 55% increase over 2024\u2019s figures.<\/p>\n The stronger finish to 2025 sets Lucid up for an all-important year that will see the company start building the first vehicle on its new mid-sized EV platform. The company has said this first vehicle will cost around $50,000, putting it near the same part of the market as the Tesla Model Y and Rivian\u2019s upcoming R2 SUV.<\/p>\n The numbers still pale in comparison to the projections Lucid Motors threw around when it went public in a $4 billion reverse merger in 2021<\/a>. At that time, the company claimed<\/a> it would deliver 135,000 vehicles in 2025, with 86,000 of those being Gravity SUVs, 42,000 being Air sedans, and the remaining 7,000 coming from its yet-to-debut mid-sized EV. <\/p>\n Those targets quickly became unrealistic as Lucid ran into production, supply, and demand challenges for both of its vehicles, all while navigating an automotive market that was severely disrupted by the pandemic. The company particularly struggled in early 2025 as it started to ramp up production of the Gravity SUV. It has since been dealing with a number of quality issues on the vehicle, to the level that interim CEO Marc Winterhoff sent an email to customers in December saying that he shared<\/a> in their \u201cfrustration.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLingering software problems have unfortunately affected our customers\u2019 experience and satisfaction. I would like to assure you that we are laser focused on addressing these issues,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<\/span>
