Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

March 31, Beijing time Wednesday morning, electric car start-up Farah (hereinafter referred to as FF) announced the official start-up production of luxury electric car FF 91 Futurist. It has been more than six years since FF released its first FF 91 Futurist. Workers pushed the white body frame of FF 91 onto the stage of the event, but the assembly line was nowhere to be seen.

While production is an important milestone for electric car startups, Faraday does not disclose how many cars it can produce in a day or week, nor does it predict single-season or annual production.

Faraday did not disclose in the future how many people have actually booked the car. In May 2022, the company admitted that there were only 401 advance orders, rather than more than 14,000 in 2021. And Faraday didn't show a full production car at the press conference, just asked employees to push a white body frame of a FF 91 Futurist to the stage. In addition, the company did not show the car assembly line, only how robots can weld.

"as a subverter of the traditional ultra-luxury car culture, the launch of the FF 91 Futurist marks the most solid step for Faraday's future," Jia Yueting, the future founder of Faraday, said at the press conference. "this is a commitment we have made to users and shareholders, and we have successfully fulfilled it today."

Foreign media analysis believes that Faraday will not really start production in the future, perhaps FF 91 Futurist is only partially put into production, not full production.

Just four months ago, Faraday's future "sustainability" ability and the delivery time of FF 91 were questioned by investors. At that time, Faraday had just completed a board reshuffle after a series of disputes with the largest shareholder over corporate governance.

Faraday's future spokesman said the company will start delivering existing cars to customers at the end of April 2023.

Faraday's future first electric car is expected to go on sale in both the Chinese and US markets. The company has adopted a direct sales model, but says customers can test drive in Faraday Future and partner showrooms or experience centers.

Faraday said in the future that the company will launch its first flagship brand experience center project "soon" in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. This year's sales work will start in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, followed by the San Francisco Bay area, followed by the New York metropolitan area. In addition, the company also said that Faraday will first sell cars in Shanghai and Beijing in the future.

Faraday Future also said that electric vehicle components of the FF 91 Futurist, as well as computing, sensing, communications components and user interfaces, had recently been "significantly upgraded".

It is reported that the FF 91 Futurist has a maximum power of 1050 horsepower against Ferrari, Maybach, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, with an EPA-certified mileage of 381 miles and an acceleration time of less than 2.3 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers. Faraday has not yet announced the exact price of the FF 91 Futurist in the future, but consumers can book through the US website with a deposit of $1500 or $500 in advance.
