Lucid is Focuing MORE of Leasing - WHY ⚠️ 670 U.S. Lucid Sales in October – Is It Enough?
Overall SentimentMixedStrength: 35%
Overall Thesis
Lucid's 670 US sales in October suggest they will hit their 9,000 unit target for 2024, but the strategic shift to leasing and the impending Gravity line conversion create near-term production uncertainties.
Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
Mixed670 estimated US sales in October puts Lucid on pace to hit the 9,000 unit 2024 target, and Q4 is historically their strongest quarter for deliveries. However, Lucid's strategic focus on leasing (lowering Lucid Pure to $669/month, Air Grand Touring to $889/month) and the Gravity production line conversion starting November 7 will cause a temporary disruption to Air output.
Key Arguments
- 670 US Lucid sales in October — on track for 9,000 unit 2024 target
- Lucid cutting prices to drive leasing: Pure at $669/month, Grand Touring at $889/month
- Gravity production orders open November 7, 2024; line conversion may impact Air output
- Q4 historically Lucid's biggest delivery quarter (Q4 2022: 1,900 delivered, Q4 2023: 1,700 delivered)
- Leasing is being prioritized as new growth strategy — especially in the US
- 2025 guidance won't come until Q4 earnings in February — information gap
