Supply chain challenges initially forced the company to drop its initial production target of 20,000 Lucid Air sedans to a range of between 12,000 and 14,000. That was in February. In April, Lucid again cut that goal in half, with CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson citing “extraordinary supply chain and logistics challenges.”
Due to supply chain issues, it was a difficult year for most major automakers. Seeing new automakers like Lucid struggle was sadly no surprise. On top of that, Lucid’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona may have built 7,180 units, but Lucid records only 4,369 vehicles being delivered to customers who purchased them.
