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