清醒想生产于2023年的两倍

Lucid Motors announced minor improvements across the board in a fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report released Wednesday and will use this positive momentum to increase production in 2023.

The all-electric automaker said fourth-quarter revenue totaled $258 million, which is considerably higher than the $26.4 million recorded during the same period a year earlier. According toReuters, business analysts expected Lucid to reach sales of around $303 million.

In the fourth quarter, the brand produced 2,493 examples of theAirand delivered 1,932 of those vehicles to customers. For the year,Lucid reported productionof just 7,180 vehicles. Deliveries totaled 4,369 for the entirety of 2022. The automaker narrowly surpassed its revised outlook of 7,000 vehicles; Lucidhad initially hoped to manufacture12,000-14,000 units but dropped that due to supply challenges.

"Last year was a challenging year for everyone, yet despite the extraordinary supply chain and logistics challenges, the team persevered with an unrelenting focus on delivering what we believe is the best luxury sedan on the market," said Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson.

Reservations have dipped below the 30,000 mark and now sit at 28,000. This is 6,000 fewer than late last year, which suggests the company is now meeting demand, or there is less of it. For 2023, Lucid is looking to double its production outlook and hopes to build between 10,000-14,000 vehicles.

There could be many reasons for this push in production. Consumers tired of the long wait could be canceling their orders, which leads to reduced profits for Lucid. We've already caught wind of the automaker'sstrategy to retain customers, and this may be part of it.
