Faraday Future will use the knockdown parts to assemble a complete vehicle, with plans to produce the first Super One pre-production unit by the end of the year.
The development came nearly one week after Faraday Future delivered the first International FX Super One to soccer player Andrés Iniesta in the United Arab Emirates, which marked the beginning of product shipments to the UAE. It also signaled the execution of the company’s Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy, which covered everything from supply chain sourcing, testing, transportation and customs validation to production readiness and final assembly.
"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 this pivotal moment of receiving our knockdown parts in Hanford,” Faraday Future Global Co-CEO Matthias Aydt said. "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 trial production phase for the Super One began earlier this year. In parallel, engineers and production staff at the Hanford factory underwent specialized training to support production readiness.
Faraday Future has invested nearly $300 million into FF aiFactory California, its 1.1 million-square-foot site in Hanford. The company stated that the factory could support mixed-line manufacturing or assembly for multiple models and reach an annual production rate of more than 30,000 FX vehicles.
Faraday Future describes the FX Super One as an affordable mass market MPV, offering a spacious, meticulously crafted interior with high-end materials and advanced technology. It reportedly includes multiple rows, spacious seating, ambient lighting and premium entertainment systems. The company added that it expects the vehicle to provide all-wheel drive and two powertrain options: battery electric and, eventually, an AI hybrid extended range configuration.
The Super One will also come equipped with the FF Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem) System and the FF EAI Embodied Intelligence AI Agent 6x4 Architecture.
