Lucid's Saudi Success: 800 Electric Vehicles Roll Off Production Line
Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) has reportedly manufactured approximately 800 electric vehicles (EVs) at its Saudi Arabian production facility, concurrently training over 200 local employees.
據報道，Lucid Group Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：LCID）已在其沙特阿拉伯生產工廠生產了約800輛電動汽車（EV），同時培訓了200多名當地員工。
What Happened: The EV manufacturer inaugurated its first international plant in Saudi Arabia in September, with an initial production capacity of 5,000 EVs per year.
發生了什麼：這家電動汽車製造商於9月在沙特阿拉伯開設了第一家國際工廠，初始年產能爲5,000輛電動汽車。
Lucid holds a purchase agreement with the Saudi Arabian government to sell up to 100,000 vehicles over the next decade.
Lucid與沙特阿拉伯政府簽訂了購買協議，將在未來十年內出售多達10萬輛汽車。
The vehicles were initially built in Arizona and then transformed into semi-knockdown kits, undergoing final assembly at the Saudi Arabian factory. The vehicles are not counted as factory-gated until this final assembly.
這些車輛最初在亞利桑那州製造，然後改裝成半拆式套件，在沙特阿拉伯工廠進行最終組裝。直到最後一次組裝，這些車輛才算作出廠門禁。
As reported by Reuters, Lucid has assembled approximately 800 cars at its Saudi Arabian facility since its opening, according to the company's Middle East managing director, Faisal Sultan. He emphasized that the primary focus is on training personnel for the anticipated opening of a fully operational factory capable of manufacturing cars by 2026.
據路透社報道，Lucid中東董事總經理費薩爾·蘇丹（Faisal Sultan）表示，自開業以來，Lucid已在其沙特阿拉伯工廠組裝了約800輛汽車。他強調說，主要重點是培訓人員，以期在2026年之前開設一家能夠生產汽車的全面運轉的工廠。
Construction for the facility has commenced, but the timeline for its opening depends on supply chains and workforce development.
該設施的建設已經開始，但開放的時間表取決於供應鏈和勞動力發展。
Despite Lucid's primary operations being in the U.S., it is 60% owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The PIF has invested around $5.4 billion in Lucid since 2018.
儘管Lucid的主要業務在美國，但它由沙特阿拉伯的主權財富基金公共投資基金（PIF）持有60％的股權。自2018年以來，太平洋投資基金已向Lucid投資了約54億美元。
Why It Matters: During Lucid's third-quarter earnings call, the company noted that it had shipped approximately 700 EVs to Saudi Arabia for final assembly.
爲何重要：在Lucid的第三季度業績電話會議上，該公司指出，它已向沙特阿拉伯運送了大約700輛電動汽車進行最終組裝。
While Lucid had aimed to deliver more vehicles in Saudi Arabia in the third quarter, the scale-up process took longer than expected, according to the company's CFO, Sherry House. Deliveries are expected to increase in the fourth quarter.
該公司首席財務官雪莉·豪斯表示，儘管Lucid的目標是在第三季度在沙特阿拉伯交付更多汽車，但擴大規模所花費的時間比預期的要長。預計第四季度的交付量將增加。
Lucid reported third-quarter revenue of $137.81 million and a quarterly loss of 28 cents per share while producing 1,550 vehicles. To align deliveries with production, the company is adjusting its target to produce 8,000-8,500 vehicles this year, down from the initial projection of over 10,000 units.
Lucid公佈的第三季度收入爲1.3781億美元，每股季度虧損28美分，同時生產1,550輛汽車。爲了使交付與產量保持一致，該公司正在調整其目標，今年生產8,000-8,500輛汽車，低於最初預測的超過10,000輛。
