Ford sales climb for 7th straight month as EVs hit a quarterly record on tax credit expiration

September marked another banner month for Ford’s electric vehicle business, with EV sales climbing 85% from the same month last year to more than 11,700 units.

For the third quarter as a whole, Ford’s electrified unit sales grew nearly 20%. That’s the division’s best Q3 on record, boosted by the looming end of the $7,500 federal tax credit on Tuesday. Ford, with rival GM, has found some ways to extend that credit in the hopes of keeping sales stable.

Overall, Ford sales rose 8.2% on the quarter, and September was the automaker’s seventh straight month of sales gains. Ford sales have been buoyed this year by panic buying: first from fears of tariff price hikes (and Ford’s strong incentives), and lately from the EV credit expiration.

Lucid climbs after Uber revealed to be its second-largest shareholder following recent investment

Shares of luxury EV maker Lucid are up more than 7% in premarket trading on Tuesday, following the release of a regulatory filing that revealed Uber is now its second-largest shareholder, trailing only Saudi Arabia’s PIF sovereign wealth fund.

The news follows an announcement earlier this month that Uber and Lucid would expand their robotaxi partnership from 20,000 planned vehicles to 35,000. Along with the expansion, Uber also said it would invest an additional $200 million into the EV maker.

Per Monday afternoon’s filing, it seems that investment pushed Uber’s ownership stake in Lucid to 11.52%.

Lucid’s stock is down 29% in April. It hit an all-time low of $6.75 on Monday ahead of the regulatory filing becoming public.

In a mark of just how painful the slide has been for Lucid shareholders, as of Monday, the company’s market cap had dropped to a quarter of the approximately $9.5 billion that Saudi Arabia’s PIF has sunk into it.
