Lucid Motors Inc. will eliminate 705 jobs across its Arizona operations, according to a WARN notice filed June 22, 2026, and a concurrent SEC filing, the company's second round of layoffs this year and its deepest single cut to its Arizona headcount.
The reduction represents 18% of Lucid's U.S. workforce, according to the SEC filing reported by AZFamily. Affected workers include full-time employees, contractors, and hourly manufacturing workers. The company expects to complete the workforce reduction by the end of Q3 2026.
The cuts include eliminating the second production shift at Lucid's Casa Grande manufacturing facility, which began production in 2021. Lucid also operates a facility in Coolidge and a hub in Phoenix.
Lucid estimates annualized cost savings of approximately $158 million from the restructuring, with cash charges of approximately $32 million for severance and employee benefits, per the Yahoo Finance summary of the SEC filing.
The June action follows a February 2026 round in which Lucid eliminated 12% of its workforce companywide. The company also reduced its Arizona workforce by 6% in 2024 and cut approximately 1,000 jobs companywide in 2023, according to Yahoo Finance.
A WARN Act investigation into the layoffs was published June 23 by Strauss Borrelli PLLC, a firm that pursues class-action claims on behalf of workers subject to mass layoffs without adequate notice.
Lucid's Q3 2026 completion target sets the timeline for the full workforce reduction.
