Lucid Motors took in more money and delivered more cars last year than the previous year and reported an adjusted loss of $2.8 billion, including a worse-than-expected $874.7 million in the fourth quarter.


The Arizona-based EV maker revealed its Q4 and full year earnings Feb. 24, leading with the 68 percent increase in revenue to $1.35 billion for the entirety of 2025. For the final quarter of the year, the revenue numbers were even better, the company taking in $522.7 million, a 123 percent increase over the year-ago period. The company’s net loss was $3.7 billion for the full year and $1.2 billion for Q4.

The company also saw its deliveries rise over 50 percent compared to the previous year, and it marked eight consecutive quarters of record deliveries with 15,841 vehicles. However, the company revealed there was a snafu with its production count. In January, officials said the company produced 18,378 vehicles in 2025, including 8,412 during the fourth quarter. 

But it was later determined that 538 of those vehicles hadn’t completed the validation process so the final numbers are 17,840 for the full year and 7,874 in the final quarter. The validation process will be completed this year. The final numbers, according to Lucid officials, are “in line” with its initial forecasts.

"2025 was all about execution and strategy adjustment to set Lucid up for long-term success. Against a challenging macro backdrop, we nearly doubled production, gained market share, reduced unit costs, and strengthened our financial position," said Marc Winterhoff, Lucid’s interim CEO, in a release. 


"We advanced and launched our autonomy strategy, leveraging our industry‑leading technology and strong partnerships to position Lucid as an early mover in the emerging robotaxi market and to deliver differentiated autonomy capabilities to our customers in a capital‑efficient way. 

“In 2026, our focus remains on operational and financial discipline, sustainable growth, and continued progress toward profitability, while we look forward to the production of the first of our Midsize vehicles and the deployment of the first Lucid robotaxis into commercial service with our partners."

The company declined to offer any predictions for 2026 results beyond production guidance of 25,000 to 27,000 vehicles. Lucid ended the year with $4.6 billion in total liquidity, which CFO Taoufiq Boussaid said was “strong, providing us with the flexibility to executive near-term objectives while investing in future growth.” The company projected capital expenditures will be between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion this year.

  • Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
  • Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
  • Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
  • Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
