Recent FX Super One and operations news has usually seen positive price alignment, with only one mild divergence on otherwise constructive updates.
Over the last two weeks, Faraday Future has focused news flow on the FX Super One’s industrialization and market rollout. Components delivery to Hanford, CA, and customs clearance for knockdown kits paved the way for pre-production at the 1.1M sq ft facility, which could support more than 30,000 vehicles annually. Multiple releases on the planned Dec 21, 2025 roll-off ceremony, global marketing in the UAE, and an investor conference appearance framed a narrative of operational ramp and brand building. Today’s Florida B2B deal and state expansion build directly on that FX rollout storyline.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights a commercial milestone for FX Super One: a Florida-based partner committed to deposits for 2,000 MPVs, expanding coverage to six of eight initial target states and reinforcing Faraday Future’s B2B2C strategy. Set against Q3 2025 results showing revenue of $37K and a net loss of $222.2M, investors may watch whether such deals translate into scalable production at Hanford and improved financial metrics as the Dec 21, 2025 rollout approaches.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 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 shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.
“Welcome to my 33rd weekly report. First, I want to share a sales breakthrough for the FX Super One: FX has signed with Golden Hills Investment LLC, a Florida-based high-end vacation rental investor and operator company, a deposit agreement for 2,000 FX Super One MPV’s, including non-refundable deposits and non-binding pre-orders, and all deposits have been fully received. Golden Hills has also become a paid co-creator.
This marks our successful entry into Florida, one of the largest EV consumer states. With this milestone, FX has now penetrated six out of the eight key target states in our first-phase rollout. We successfully concluded our target for the year in advance, and once again proves the immense nation-wide popularity of Super One, a potential “blue-ocean market + blockbuster product”. It also marks the successful expansion of FX 's Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales model to a new industry—high-end vacation rentals. Within FX' s B2B2C framework, this represents another cross-industry expansion following car rental, FX Par, real estate brokerage, MCNs, and peer-to-peer vehicle sharing. Our “scenario-as-store” model has once again been extended into a new use case.
Golden Hills is a leading high-end real estate operator in Florida and Nevada, having successfully transacted and managed nearly 200 large luxury villas over the past decade. In the future, it expects to offer its guests seamless access to FX Super One vehicles as part of their stay. This could not only help boost its overall revenue potential from its luxurious vacation properties but could also improve sales conversion efficiency for Super One in real, high-ticket, high-immersion, and long-stay consumer scenarios.
Looking ahead, we plan to continue to expand into more high-end consumer industries, exploring more imaginative B2B2C models such as “luxury drive + luxury stays” and “stay-to-live + drive-to-experience”. These initiatives could become an important user acquisition engine for FX as we scale volume and build blockbuster products.
On S4, Product Execution & Delivery:
Promises made, promises kept. The first batch of pre-production vehicles started assembly at our FF aiFactory in Hanford, California. The team is working around the clock to accelerate our progress there. On December 21, we will hold the off-the-line ceremony for the first pre-production vehicles, alongside our 2026 plan and preview. We welcome everyone to book your calendar and witness the most significant historic moment for FF and FX in 2025.
On S5, Capital Markets and Finance:
Jerry Wang, FF President, recently traveled to the Middle East to meet with potential strategic investors. The feedback was very positive, with clear interest expressed in deeper cooperation going forward. As multiple positive developments continue to unfold, we are seeing increased interest in potential investment in FF.
On S7 System and Capability Build-up:
Smooth progress has been made in our Global Automotive Bridge Strategy, as we are now looking at its next stage of upgrade. This week, FX CEO Max Ma held a series of constructive meetings in Washington, D.C. with US members of Congress and senior government officials, continuing to advance our government relations efforts. Discussions covered a broad range of key topics, including the progress of our Bridge strategy, AIEV industry development, tariff policy, U.S. local manufacturing, and technological innovation.
Maintaining sustained and in-depth engagement with government stakeholders will provide clearer direction and policy support for our future strategic planning, compliance approach, and the accelerated advancement and upgrade of our Bridge strategy.
Next week, I will join the frontline at the Hanford factory to oversee final preparations and to join everyone in witnessing the first FX Super One vehicles roll off the line. We will see you in Hanford next week.”
