Lucid Deliveries / Production : 2022



















Lucid: luː.sɪd : Clearly expressed and easy to understand.

The style of the car measures up to the meaning of the word lucid. It has a large range for an electric car and fast acceleration. Overdo the latter and you lose out on the former but that's obvious. It's a spacious luxury car that is sleek and classy looking.

It seems the main problem is getting production and assembly quality up to scratch. That's to be expected as car making is complex but when customers put in orders, delays are not ideal. However, if I was ordering from a startup company for a car not yet built I would expect it may not all be plain sailing. 

The figures below show a few deliveries in 2021. I believe the Q2 production numbers reflect issues with assembly quality control and the big hike of over 200% the following quarter due to resolving that.

The goal for 2022 was 20,000 units produced. That was scaled back early this year to 12-14,000 and the current estimate is 6-7,000 units. The last estimate proved to be doable and in fact, slightly exceeded.
