@Pragmatic was 100% correct. Turns out they're deliberately limiting any search results for inventory cars to 72 total as a maximum. (I have no idea if that's a technical limit on the way they implemented the infinite-scroll web page structure, or for marketing reasons).

How do i know for sure that they're limiting the display to 72?

Search with no filters for all available cars, you'll get 72. 4 are DD Pro as of right now, 68 are DD Premium.
Search with a filter for DreamDrive Pro: you'll see 4 as of when i'm posting this.
BUT - Search with a filter for DreamDrive Premium. I of course expected to get 68, but I actually got 72! All distinct VINs, all showing these cars DO have DreamDrive Premium and not Pro.

So there are more cars in inventory than are shown when you do a search on the website.

Let's go figure out HOW MANY real cars are available. Should be simple if I filter by some options and count 'em up, and assuming no one option i pick comes back with the max of 72 cars, then the total of the chosen breakout should be the real number of cars available.

As of the time of this posting:

By Appearence:
- Stealth: 41
- Platinum: 44
= 85 cars available

- SurrealSound: 47
- SurrealSound Pro: 38
= 85 cars available

By Trim:
- Pure: 26
- Touring: 51
- Grand Touring: 8
= 85 cars available

Let's try with colors:
- Stellar White: 15
- Infinite Black: 17
- Zenith Red: 13
- Cosmos Silver: 10
- Quantum Gray: 14
- Fathom Blue: 16
= 85 cars available

So all seems to confirm there are actually 85 2025 cars available.

But one last oddity... searching by roof type does not agree with the other breakouts:
- 57 aluminum roof
- 34 glass roof
= 92 cars available

Can't explain that last one, but there definitely are either 85 model year 2025 cars available or maybe 92. Regardless, i now know i can't go by the "cleared filters" total number shown. That will always be <= 72 cars.
 
New 2025s with DD Pro are appearing every day now. 12 available on the site today.

Been interesting to watch the numbers. 11 new 2025s added to "inventory" pages since just yesterday afternoon, with 6 cars removed (presumably = sold) from those pages in same 12 hours.

Looks to me like there's around 12 or so sales of cars from inventory per day, but i've been monitoring it for too short a time to really gather a trend. Obviously this doesn't count custom-spec orders, only those from Lucid's inventory.

But they're still cranking out 2025s... adding 15-20 to the site per day lately.

I find it all very encouraging, personally. Still plenty of sales and production on Lucid Airs taking place, relatively speaking.

Was tempted by a new '25 ZR Touring with DD Pro, Metal Roof and range wheels that appeared today, (close to my ideal spec) but was hoping for one with SS Pro too and this one doesn't have that. Will wait... either for a great deal on a '25 that has my spec, or as time goes on may decide to just wait to see what happens with '26s.

Not enough data yet to make this next chart very helpful, but lately they've been net adding more Touring. The static numbers for Pure just mean the net hasn't changed... some cars have sold but also had similar spec cars added to inventory. GTs on the other hand have remained static... the same 9 cars have been on the site for the last few days. What I really am trying to do with this chart is just start to detect them winding down 2025 production in preparation for announcing availability and any changes for 2026. So the most important number is that topline number (89 2025s shown in inventory today).
