Lucid Motors built 2,954 electric vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, marking a 54 percent decline from the same period a year ago, TechCrunch reported. The company is deliberately limiting its production after experiencing ongoing difficulties finding mass-market demand for its luxury electric vehicles. [1]
The third-quarter figures represent the third consecutive quarter of declining production for the automaker, according to TechCrunch. It is also the lowest quarterly output recorded by the company since the first quarter of 2025. [1]
Deliveries for the third quarter totaled 3,806 vehicles, which TechCrunch reported was roughly flat compared with the second quarter and down by about 200 vehicles from the third quarter of 2025. Lucid Motors has struggled to secure buyers for its first two luxury electric models. [1]
Lucid Group is based in Newark, California, and produces vehicles at a factory located in Casa Grande, Arizona. The company started manufacturing the Lucid Air sedan in September 2021 and began producing its second model, the Lucid Gravity SUV, in December 2024. [2]
