2022 production nearly doubled in Q4

Lucid produced 3,493 cars in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022, bringing the total production number for 2022 to 7,180 after clearing the necessary hurdles. The first of these are now driving around in the Netherlands.
As is often the case with new car brands, Lucid has had a difficult start. The brand’s first product, the Lucid Air, is promising. But: designing a car is one thing, delivering many cars to customers is another. The past few years have not been easy for car manufacturers due to the war in Ukraine, all kinds of shortages and the corona pandemic, and Lucid also experienced problems.
Initially, the brand intended to produce 20,000 cars in 2022, but that has not succeeded by a long shot. As early as February, it adjusted its targets to 12,000 to 14,000 units and later it became 6,000 to 7,000 units. The latter goal was achieved, because in the last quarter of 2022 the brand managed to build 3,493 cars, for an annual total of 7,180 units.
50,000 Lucids by 2023?
With all results for 2022, the brand will only be released later, but it seems that Lucid has managed to take its first steps upwards. In 2021, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson said that the Americans want to build 50,000 cars in 2023. Whether that goal still stands today is unknown. We do know that the brand wants to introduce its second model to the world this year: the SUV called Gravity. Lucid also recently opened its first ‘Studio’ in Europe – in Hilversum.
