Faraday Future begins trial production of FX Super One at Hanford plant

HANFORD, Calif. - Electric vehicle maker Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFAI), currently valued at $210 million and showing signs of being undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, has started trial production of its FX Super One model at its California manufacturing facility, the company announced Thursday.

The trial production phase at the Hanford plant will focus on verifying production processes, operational workflows, and quality standards, while factory staff undergo specialized training. The company plans to follow this with comprehensive vehicle engineering that includes safety testing and validation. InvestingPro data reveals the company faces significant operational challenges with a current ratio of 0.41, indicating potential difficulties meeting short-term obligations.

Faraday Future unveiled the FX Super One, which it describes as an "EAI-MPV" (Electric Artificial Intelligence-Multi Purpose Vehicle), on July 17 in Los Angeles. The vehicle features the company’s AI communication ecosystem and is positioned to compete with luxury models like the Cadillac Escalade.

The company’s 1.1 million-square-foot Hanford facility has received approximately $300 million in investment to date. With additional funding and permitting, Faraday Future states the plant could produce more than 30,000 vehicles annually and support mixed-line manufacturing for multiple models.

Faraday Future recently secured $105 million in financing commitments, which it says will nearly cover the launch costs of the FX Super One.

Founded in 2014, Faraday Future aims to disrupt the automotive industry with technology-focused electric vehicles. The company’s flagship FF 91 model has faced numerous production delays since its initial unveiling in 2017.
