Summary
Lucid Motors is slashing 1500 jobs—18% of its workforce—and shutting down its Arizona factory’s second shift, signaling major restructuring under new CEO Silvio Napoli. These cuts, following a 12% layoff just four months ago, aim to boost competitiveness amid a slowing EV market and include eliminating the COO role, with former interim CEO Marc Winterhoff exiting. Despite the turmoil, Lucid pushes ahead with its affordable Cosmos SUV and a luxury robotaxi launch in San Francisco, expecting $158M in annual savings and wrapping up restructuring by Q3, while paying $32M in severance.
