Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that it has launched the start of assembly production of the FX Super One MPV pre-production vehicles at the Company’s Hanford, CA factory in anticipation of the first pre-production vehicle off the line ceremony planned for December 21. This milestone also marks the near completion of the Bridge Closure for the Company’s Bridge strategy, covering a closed loop of supply chain, testing, logistics, customs clearance and production. This further validates the feasibility and strategic value of the Bridge model across tariff adaptation, ICTS compliance, cost management, and operational efficiency.
This production start follows the recent arrival of multiple full sets of knockdown components, nearly 3,000 parts per vehicle — required for building the first batch of complete pre-production FX Super One vehicles, which, once assembled, will be used for testing, marketing and other planning activities in the U.S.
This production milestone marks the second vehicle model to come out of the Hanford facility, named “FF aiFactory California,” along with the Company’s FF 91 2.0 that is also assembled there.
The production, which started today, follows the recent arrival of the first batch of knockdowns for the FX Super One MPV, nearly 3,000 parts per vehicle — required for building the first batch of complete pre-production FX Super One vehicles, which once assembled, will be used for testing, marketing and other planning activities in the U.S..
Faraday Future’s current 1.1 million-square-foot manufacturing and production facility in Hanford, California, named “FF aiFactory California,” has approximately $300 million invested so far in the multi-use facility, and with additional investment and permitting, could become capable of producing more than 30,000 FX vehicles annually. The Company’s FF 91 2.0 flagship EV is currently built in this facility. The Hanford factory is preparing a flexible production line for future FX units. The facility could support mixed-line manufacturing or assembly for multiple models.
“This milestone of building the first pre-production FX Super One’s at the Hanford plant is an important step towards reaching the Company’s goals, including marking the near completion of the Bridge Closure for our Bridge strategy, covering a closed loop of supply chain, testing, logistics, customs clearance and production,” said YT Jia, Founder & Global Co-CEO of FF. “The pre-production process will allow us to test every aspect of the FX Super One vehicle assembly in Hanford, including the parts and logistics pipeline and training personnel who will assemble the vehicles, to ensure everything is running smoothly.”
