Lucid Motors produced twice as many electric vehicles in 2025 as it did the year before, showing the company has bounced back from early production struggles with its new Gravity SUV.
The company announced Monday that it ended the year with 18,378 EVs produced, 8,412 of which were produced in the fourth quarter alone. That’s more than Lucid produced at its Casa Grande, Arizona, factory in the first half of this year. Lucid also announced that it delivered, or sold, 15,841 vehicles during the year, a 55% increase over the 2024 figure.
A strong finish to 2025 sets Lucid up for a pivotal year in which it begins manufacturing the first vehicles on its new midsize EV platform. The company said the first vehicle will cost about $50,000, which is about the same as the Tesla Model Y and Rivian’s upcoming R2 SUV on the market.
That number still pales in comparison to the predictions Lucid Motors made when it went public with a $4 billion reverse merger in 2021. At the time, the company claimed it would deliver 135,000 vehicles in 2025, including 86,000 Gravity SUVs, 42,000 Air sedans, and the remaining 7,000 from midsize EVs that have yet to debut.
Those goals quickly became unrealistic as Lucid faced production, supply and demand challenges for both vehicles as it navigated an auto market severely disrupted by the pandemic. The company particularly struggled in early 2025, when it began ramping up production of its Gravity SUV. Since then, the company has addressed a number of quality issues with its vehicles, and in December interim CEO Mark Winterhoff sent an email to customers saying he shared their “dissatisfaction.”
“Unfortunately, persistent software issues are impacting our customers’ experience and satisfaction. We want to assure you that we are fully committed to addressing these issues,” he wrote.
