After four consecutive months of sales growth in the U.S., EV maker Lucid Motors saw its sales decline sequentially from its all-time record of 780 units in December to 665 in January.

Compared to a year ago, the EV maker saw its sales rise by 51%, according to Motor Intelligence estimates released on Monday.

The firm estimates that 615 Air sedans and 50 Gravity SUVs were registered across the U.S. last month.

After having delivered the first units of its second model — the Gravity SUV — in late December, Lucid has not yet revealed when U.S. and Canadian customers can expect the first deliveries of the high-end variant.

Last week, the SUV gained access to Tesla’s supercharger network with CEO Peter Rawlinson naming it “the most available and convenient charging network in the United States and Canada.”

According to Motor Intelligence, fourth-quarter sales in the U.S. stood at 2,162 units while 2024 figures were 7,578 vehicles.

Lucid’s chief executive, Peter Rawlinson, ended 2024 by taking delivery of his own Gravity SUV, becoming one of the first owners of the company’s second model. The EV maker shared the moment on social media, calling it an “extra special delivery” to close out the year.

Tesla’s sales stood at 48,500 units with California registrations dropping 12% year over year, as reported on Monday by California’s New Car Dealers Association. Of those, 17,945 were Model 3 and Model S sedans while Model Y, Cybertruck, and Model X totaled 30,555 units.
