Lucid’s $227,802 EV Loss Leader

Ford Motor Co. lost $62,016 on each electric vehicle it sold during this year’s third quarter. But that looks like a business success compared to Lucid Motors, the luxury electric-vehicle maker. On Tuesday the EV startup reported losing $227,802 per car sold in the latest quarter. Like several other EV startups, Lucid went public during the pandemic through a merger with a blank-check company. In November 2021, it reached a stunning market value of $91 billion despite having delivered only 125 cars in its history. It’s been downhill since. Lucid’s stock price has fallen 93% from its peak as losses mount.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Rivian Plans to Make More EV Trucks, SUVs in 2023

Updated Nov. 7, 2023 7:01 pm ETElectric-vehicle startup Rivian Automotive raised its production forecast for the year and said losses narrowed in the third quarter, as the company tries to increase output after a choppy two-year launch.  Rivian also said Tuesday it was no longer required to sell its electric delivery vans exclusively to Amazon.com and was in talks with other potential customers. The companies were negotiating an end to the exclusivity part of their agreement after the online retailer’s order came in at the low end of a previously communicated range, The Wall Street Journal reported in March. Amazon owns a nearly 17% stake in Rivian. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
