Lucid has titled more new vehicles in Washington state in the first nine months of 2026 than in any previous full year, with third-quarter titles up 41.1% in its first full quarter as a licensed dealer in the state, Department of Licensing data updated on Wednesday show.
Washington licensed Lucid to sell vehicles directly to consumers from its Seattle studio on June 24, 13 days after a new state law ended Tesla’s position as the only brand allowed to do so, state records show.
Lucid titled 294 new vehicles in Washington from January through September, up 56.4% from 188 a year earlier, according to the state’s title and registration activity data.
The figures already exceed Lucid’s previous full-year high of 287 in 2025.
The Saudi-backed EV maker titled 70 new vehicles in Washington in 2022, 162 in 2023 and 135 in 2024, when the Air sedan was its only model.
The Gravity accounted for 210 of the nine-month total, or 71%, while new Air titles fell 53.6% to 84 from 181.
New fully electric titles across all brands in Washington fell 23% over the same period, to 26,973 from 35,042. That doubled Lucid’s share of new battery-electric titles in the state to 1.1% from 0.5% a year earlier.
The data counts new vehicles receiving their first Washington title on the date the state processed the transaction, rather than the delivery date.
Dealers have up to 45 calendar days after delivery to submit title applications, so September’s totals could still rise in later updates.
Licensed to Sell
Lucid Group USA’s motor vehicle dealer license was first issued on June 24 for its studio at University Village in Seattle, according to the state’s dealer license records.
Its studio and service center on Airport Way South in Seattle was added as a second location on July 6, and both were listed as active in the most recent records, which reflect licenses as of August.
That put Lucid ahead of Rivian, whose dealer license was first issued on July 15, according to the same records, although Rivian was the first to announce its license, in September.
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson signed the law on March 24, and Lucid said at the time that the legislation would enable it to sell directly to customers there.
The law, which took effect on June 11, applies to US-incorporated manufacturers that make only fully -electric vehicles and had at least 300 registered in Washington before January 1, 2026, and requires them to obtain a state dealer license.
Before the law, Lucid buyers in Washington had to order online or buy out of state, and those vehicles were titled in Washington as new.
Lucid titled 103 new vehicles in Washington in the third quarter, up 30.4% from 79 in the second quarter, when the license was in place for only its final week.
Gravity’s Best Month
Lucid titled 46 new vehicles in Washington in September, up 17.9% from 39 a year earlier.
The Gravity accounted for 40 of them, its highest monthly total in the state since the first one was titled there in August 2025.
New Air titles fell to six from 33 a year earlier.
Lucid took 1.6% of new fully electric titles in Washington in September, up from 0.9% a year earlier.
Its highest monthly share was 2.7% in February 2026, when it titled 52 vehicles, and its highest monthly count was 57 in October 2025, according to EV‘s analysis of the data.
The third-quarter total of 103 was up 41.1% from 73 a year earlier. The Gravity made up 80 of them and the Air 23, down from 66.
It was the ninth straight quarter of year-on-year growth for Lucid in the state, according to EV‘s analysis of the data.
Titles more than doubled in the first quarter, to 112 from 52, and rose 25.4% in the second, to 79 from 63.
The Gravity’s first Washington title was processed on August 6, 2025, and Lucid titled 41 of the SUVs in the state in the last five months of that year.
By comparison, Tesla titled 1,243 new vehicles in the state in September and Rivian 359.
The National Picture
The Washington data mirrors the shift in Lucid’s US sales from the Air to the Gravity.
Cox Automotive estimates that Lucid sold 506 Airs in the US in the third quarter, the model’s weakest quarter since mid-2022, and 2,202 Gravity SUVs.
The 80 Gravity SUVs titled in Washington in the quarter equal about 3.6% of Cox’s US estimate for the model, though the state counts titles by processing date rather than sale date.
Lucid delivered 3,806 vehicles in the third quarter, 6.7% fewer than a year earlier, the company said.
Prices Paid
The average reported sale price of the 210 new Gravity SUVs titled in Washington this year was about $100,500.
The average for the 84 new Airs was about $75,600, down from about $81,200 for the 181 titled in the first nine months of 2025.
In September alone, the 40 Gravity SUVs averaged about $99,000 and the six Airs about $81,600.
The prices are those reported to the state at the time of titling and are not transaction prices, and the dataset does not specify what they include.
On the Road
There were 949 Lucid vehicles registered at Washington addresses as of September 30, according to the state’s EV population data, up from 915 a month earlier.
They included 695 Air sedans and 254 Gravity SUVs, against 700 and 215 a month earlier.
Lucid accounted for about 0.4% of the 241,238 fully electric vehicles registered in the state.
The Gravity made up 26.8% of Lucid’s registered fleet in Washington, up from 23.5% a month earlier, a little over a year after the first one was titled in the state.
The registered Air fleet shrank by five vehicles in the month. Of the registered Gravity SUVs, 237 are 2026 models and 17 are 2027 models.
King County, which includes Seattle, had 580 of the state’s Lucids, or 61%, including 407 Airs and 173 Gravity SUVs. Snohomish County had 101 and Pierce County 77.
