Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO, YT Jia, Shares Weekly Investor Update - FX Pushes 'Scenario-as-Store' Frontier, Signs 500-Unit Deposit Agreement with Leading MCN Telling Inc., FX Super One B2B Deposits Hit 4,000
'A quick heads-up for everyone: the FX Super One's first in-person Private Preview & Co-Creation Event is on track to take place next Sunday afternoon, June 29, in Los Angeles.
Now let's start with the progress we made this past week. On S1 User Ecosystem, first, yet another stride in pre-order collection. FX has signed a deposit agreement for 500 FX Super Ones with Telling Inc., a leading MCN livestream e-commerce ecosystem service provider focused on the North American market and TikTok. With this, total B2B binding deposit agreements for non-binding preorders for the FX Super One have reached 4,000 units. Telling Inc. is the third MCN B2B co-creation partner to sign a deposit agreement with FX, and this marks yet another successful case of the 'end-to-end B2B2C' co-creation ecosystem model between the automotive industry and MCN agencies.
Second, our Private Preview & Co-Creation Event on June 29th will be the first official showcase of the FX Super One for a select, invite-only audience, who would enjoy an exclusive preview, experience, and co-creation session. The entire FF and FX team is now focused on final preparations for the June 29th event, which include vehicle calibration, on-site setup, guest confirmations, coordinating test rides and test drive logistics. We are in the final sprint. Although the available spots for the event are limited, the response has been overwhelming. As of today, following a careful review and selection process, we have confirmed that we have reached over 100 guests from a diverse range of industries. We look forward to welcoming them on June 29th, where they will be the first to witness and experience this groundbreaking new species: the first-ever First Class AI-MPV for the U.S. market.
Third, we have now received the non-refundable deposit for the 1,000-unit non-binding pre-order of our FX Super One from Pinnacle, one of California's largest real estate brokerages.
This collaboration with Pinnacle not only catalyzed the eco-chemistry that merges the auto industry and the real estate brokerage system, it also creates a first-of-its-kind symbiotic ecosystem designed for mutual success. It allows FX to bypass the traditional dealership investment. Instead, we can tap directly into Pinnacle's assets: their network of nearly 2,000 experienced agents, their extensive open-house events across Los Angeles, and their direct access to a high-net-worth client base. This helps craft a truly immersive, experiential, and accessible buying experience where customers can encounter our vehicles in a natural, low-pressure environment.
More importantly, this is a key milestone in realizing the 'Scenario-as-Store' vision I've long held: an asset-light, co-creation sales model that is now bearing fruit through FX. Looking ahead, we will continue to forge partnerships with top real estate brokerages to pioneer our scenario-based ecosystem with programs such as 'Luxury Car + Luxury Home' and 'Car Home Together,' which brings not only a vastly improved customer experience, but also lower acquisition costs, and exponential operational efficiency, all driving co-creation, sharing, and win-win outcomes. This model is designed to be a cornerstone of our strategy for driving rapid volume growth and achieving blockbuster success. It's a crucial part of our plan to fulfill the vision of An AIEV for Everyone in the U.S.
Going to S2 and S3, Product and Technology:
We are proud to announce the upcoming milestone release of our FF AI 2.0 system, which can now switch between over 50 languages in real-time, remember conversational context, and understand complex commands. For example, it can even do this. When you tell it: 'It's a bit warm, but I don't want the AC on,' it will intelligently recommend to adjust alternative vehicle controls for optimal comfort, such as pop the windows or close the roof shade.
FF AI 2.0 is deeply integrated with Open AI. The system is scheduled to be available on the FF 91 via an upcoming OTA update, with a planned rollout for the FX line in the future. FF could be the first automotive company in North America to offer this level of AI functionality. For a diverse, multilingual market like the US, FF AI 2.0 could provide value we believe is exceptional to users.
Finally, S7 Capability and System Build-Up:
Since I took office as Co-CEO, the company has adopted a quarterly strategic update and management framework to ensure we can adapt quickly to market dynamics and our own business results. Next week, we will initiate the upgrade and sign-off process for the Q3 strategy execution plan and KPIs. We will also launch our performance review for the second quarter and the first half of 2025.
We have a packed and pivotal week ahead. To our guests for the event, we'll be waiting to welcome you as the sun sets over California. Spoiler alert, next week's update will take you behind the scenes with exclusive highlights of our Private Preview & Co-Creation Event. Until next week.'
