Lucid continues to post substantial losses in Q2 2025, reducing its projected output for the same period
Lucid Motors Reports Q2 2025 Results and Outlines Future Plans
In a recent announcement, Lucid Motors, an electric vehicle manufacturer based in the US and Germany, shared its financial results for Q2 2025 and outlined its strategic plans moving forward.
The company reported a revenue of approximately $259 million for Q2 2025, marking a significant increase from the $201 million recorded in the same quarter the previous year. However, the net loss for Lucid Motors in Q2 2025 was $542 million, a slight improvement from the $643 million loss in the same quarter of 2024.
Lucid Motors continued to enhance its brand awareness in Q2 2025, producing 3,863 vehicles and delivering 3,309 of them. This represents a 38% increase compared to Q2 2024. The interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, stated that Lucid Motors set a new delivery record in Q2 2025 and expects this trend to continue as they ramp up production of the Lucid Gravity in the second half of the year.
Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, Lucid Motors has adjusted its 2025 production guidance, now expecting to produce between 18,000 and 20,000 EVs this year. The reason for this adjustment is attributed to current economic conditions, including supply chain issues and tariffs.
Lucid Motors ended Q2 2025 with total liquidity of approximately $4.9 billion. This cash, equivalents, and investments are sufficient to fund operations through the second half of 2026 and to scale production of its new midsize platform.
The company is currently ramping up production of its new Gravity SUV, but production has been slower than expected owing to a shortage of critical rare earth magnets exacerbated by trade restrictions with China. However, Lucid plans to significantly increase Gravity production in the second half of 2025 to make up for the slow start.
For upcoming models, Lucid plans to launch a midsize platform starting in late 2026. This platform will include at least three variants, such as a midsize SUV and sedan, with base prices around $50,000, targeting competition with the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
In addition to its vehicle lineup, Lucid is expanding its brand awareness with a new multi-year ambassador partnership with actor Timothée Chalamet, launching an ad campaign this fall. The company has also partnered with Uber and Nuro to deploy up to 20,000 electric Gravity robotaxis over six years, with Uber investing $300 million in this collaboration.
In summary, Lucid Motors is navigating supply constraints, market conditions, and expanding its portfolio with a cautious but ambitious approach. The company remains focused on the fundamentals of its business to achieve near-term goals: disciplined cost management, brand building, and the continued market introduction of the Lucid Gravity.
