Lucid Motors built twice as many electric vehicles in 2025 as it did last year, a sign the company has rebounded from early production struggles with its new Gravity SUV.
The company was announced It ended the year on Monday with 18,378 EVs built, with 8,412 of those coming in the fourth quarter alone. That’s more than Lucid manufactured at its Casa Grande, Arizona plant in the first half of the year. Lucid also said it delivered – that is, sold – 15,841 vehicles throughout the year, a 55% increase over 2024 figures.
The strongest finish for 2025 sets Lucid up for a very important year that will see the company start building the first vehicle on its new mid-size EV platform. The company said this first vehicle will cost around $50,000, putting it near the same market segment as the Tesla Model Y and Rivian’s upcoming R2 SUV.
The numbers still pale in comparison to the projections Lucid Motors made when it went public in a $4 billion reverse merger in 2021. At the time, the company he claimed it will deliver 135,000 vehicles in 2025, with 86,000 of them being the Gravity SUV, 42,000 being the Air sedan, and the remaining 7,000 coming from the yet-to-be-debuted midsize EV.
Those goals quickly became unrealistic as Lucid faced production, supply and demand challenges for both of its vehicles, all while navigating an auto market that had been severely disrupted by the pandemic. The company particularly struggled in early 2025 as it began ramping up production of the Gravity SUV. It has since been dealing with various vehicle quality issues, to the point that interim CEO Marc Winterhoff sent an email to customers in December saying that shared to their “disappointment”.
“The lingering software issues have unfortunately impacted our customer experience and satisfaction. I would like to assure you that we are laser-focused on addressing these issues,” he wrote.
