Lucid Motors sets record as Gravity sales pick up and tax credit expires

Lucid Motors provides a record 4,078 vehicles in the third quarter, probably more gravity SUVs encouraged to hit the streets and encouraged the expired federal EV Tax Credit.

Saudi-owned luxury EV startup is still far from the public used to the public in 2021-a transaction that has forged $ 4 billion. However, Lucid Motors has been seen climbing continuously for the past two years. Third quarter distribution statistics Announcement on Monday Lucid Motors has seen the sale increase in the seventh quarter to mark that.

Lucid Motors was not alone in seeing a large third-quarter bump at EV sales. Tesla has recorded its best quarters in the history of the company, and legacy automackers like Ford and General Motors also increased.

Earlier this year, the company announced it Signed actor Its first to be “Global Ambassador”. As TechCrunch has previously reported, the company has also benefited from rent sales and company lease in some quarters.

Lucid Motors said on Monday that it made more than a thousand cars, especially for the Saudi market. (The company currently operates a rally at Kingdom and planned to open a full factory there.)
