Insights

Manufacturing and Operations Expert

Delivery of full knockdown parts advances pre-production readiness but remains an operational milestone, not commercial volume evidence.

Faraday Future has cleared and begun moving a full batch of vehicle knockdown components to its Hanford assembly site, supporting an expected first pre-production FX Super One off the line by year-end. This demonstrates end-to-end logistics, customs clearance, and parts sourcing execution, and it aligns supply chain flows with factory training and trial production work underway.

Key dependencies include completion of assembly validation, safety testing, and personnel training already in progress; none of these are stated as finished. The disclosed $300 million invested in the Hanford facility signals capital commitment but is not linked to confirmed production volumes or timing certainty. Watch for the actual completion of a pre-production vehicle, formal safety validation results, and any announced start of serial production or delivery schedules over the next 1–6 months.

• These components are the full sets of knockdowns 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 milestone marks the successful end-to-end execution of FF’s Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy, covering the full process from supply chain sourcing, testing, transportation, and customs validation to production readiness and final assembly, underscoring its feasibility and strategic value in supporting FF and FX’s ongoing development.
• This new parts arrival, delivery and assembly milestone follows the recent trial production phase for Super One, which was primarily focused on planning and verifying production processes, operational workflows, quality standards, safety testing and validation of the vehicle in the U.S.
  
  

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that the first batch of knockdowns for FX Super One MPV have successfully arrived at the Port of Long Beach, cleared customs and have commenced delivery to the Company’s manufacturing facility in Hanford, CA. Vehicle knockdown parts are all the components needed to assemble a complete vehicle, which are shipped to a different location for final assembly. This marks a major milestone as the Super One sprints towards the first pre-production vehicle off the line in Hanford by year-end. With parts continuing to arrive, the Company is now another major step closer to Super One’s production and deliveries.

This milestone in the U.S. comes on the heels of the first International FX Super One delivery to its global first owner — soccer legend Andrés Iniesta in the UAE on Nov. 27th. This event signifies the commencement of UAE product deliveries and ushers the market into the EAI-MPV era. It also signals that the Company’s Global Automotive Bridge Strategy is moving to initial Bridge Closure in the Middle East and the Three-Pole Strategy entering into a new chapter.

“We are extremely encouraged by the milestones that we have reached recently with the FX Super One, including a successful trial production phase, the first delivery of the vehicle in the UAE, and now this pivotal moment of receiving our knockdown parts in Hanford,” said Matthias Aydt, Global Co-CEO of FF. “All of our systems are a go, from global logistics to the production and parts pipeline, to training personnel to assemble the vehicle, all in anticipation of getting the first pre-production FX Super One off the line by year end.”

The FX Super One has been in the trial production phase since earlier this year where it was primarily focused on planning and verifying production processes, operational workflows, and quality standards. In parallel, engineers and production staff at the Hanford factory are undergoing specialized training to support production readiness.

In parallel, the Company is also working on comprehensive engineering of vehicles, which includes extensive safety testing and validation. These efforts are integral to ensuring that the FX Super One meets the highest standards of quality, performance, safety, and the end user experience.

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 Hanford factory is preparing a flexible production line for FX units. The facility could support mixed-line manufacturing or assembly for multiple models.

The FX Super One is an affordable mass market MPV. It offers a spacious, meticulously crafted interior with high-end materials and advanced technology, the FX Super One prioritizes passenger comfort with a host of features including multiple rows, spacious seating, ambient lighting, and premium entertainment systems, to name a few. The Super One is planned to be available with AWD and two powertrain options: battery electric and, at a later date, an AI hybrid extended range (AIHER) configuration.

The Super One isn’t just about upgrading one's experience with automobiles — it’s going to redefine it entirely. It will come equipped with the groundbreaking FF Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem) System, and the FF EAI Embodied Intelligence AI Agent 6x4 Architecture. These technologies mark the start of a major tech leap and product revolution in the AIEV era.
