The event also offered an open Q&A session with FF executives and a special private dinner after the event for stockholders, offering an exclusive opportunity to engage directly with Company leadership. Words of encouragement from some of the Company's newest B2B partners were also delivered at the event.
'I want to personally thank all of the guests for being here at our very first 'Annual Stockholders' Day. It was a genuine pleasure to extend a welcoming hand to everyone who attended this event,' said Co-CEO YT Jia. 'This was more than just another Company event, it showed our unwavering commitment to stockholder engagement, long-term value creation, and full commitment to our 'Stockholders-First' principle.'
FX Product and Brand Updates
The Company plans to host the first exclusive offline product launch event for the FX Super One on June 29, tailored for five key groups: FF stockholders and investors; B2B sales partners and prospects; global supply chain partners; media, influencers and KOLs; co-creation officers and celebrities. Subsequently, FX will host a large-scale public launch event on July 17, the 'Super One Online Global Product Launch,' targeting retail consumers and opening up the large-scale online B2C paid pre-orders.
FX Super One has now officially entered the parts procurement and production preparation phase. Internally, we've already started the countdown sprint toward having our first production vehicle off-line by year-end. Development of our second model and future products is also progressing steadily and according to plan.
The Company is seeing strong momentum with B2B pre-orders for the FX brand. With the latest paid pre-order agreements, totaling 600 units, signed with two MCN agencies: CreatoRev and Good Deal, total binding B2B deposits for FX Super One now cover over 2,500 non-binding pre-orders. This marks significant progress toward FX's goal to disrupt the market dominance of some leading market players such as the Cadillac Escalade.
CreatoRev and Good Deal will also collaborate as paid co-creation partners, enhancing the AI-MPV experience.
This deep co-creation with leading American MCNs marks a breakthrough and key innovation in FX's Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales. Through this, we broke away from influencer advertising and pioneered an end-to-end B2B2C co-creation ecosystem model between an automaker and MCN-affiliated creators, a model that's never been seen before in the global auto industry.
At this point, FX's B2B pre-orders now expand to three major categories: FF Par (Partner) program; commercial rental and livery companies; and livestream ecommerce MCN agencies. In the first phase, we are planning to expand our reach across eight U.S. states (California, New York, Florida, Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Neveda, and Massachusetts). FX is expecting to unveil the FX 4 product plan in Q3 2025 and begin accepting pre-orders before year end. Positioned as 'the disruptor of RAV4 in the AIEV era,' the FX 4 is the planned model with the greatest potential to become a true blockbuster and unlock the mainstream market within FX's current product lineup.
Company Operation Updates
On the user operations front, the Company is accelerating the digitalization, systemization, and IT integration of its user engagement ecosystem, a key accomplishment for the mass production and delivery of FX next year.
On the after-sales service front, the Company is advancing the FX Service Par program, working to quickly establish collaborations with major automotive service providers, dealerships, and aftermarket partners.
The Company is building a robust internal R&D system, especially centered on bringing much of the software and AI, bringing the core technologies, software, and AI capabilities in our $300,000 flagship FF 91 to the FX product line. In the second half of the year, our voice interaction system based on large language models and the full FF ecosystem of services could be deployed in the planned FX Super One and FX 4.
The Company is working to complete the full-vehicle engineering, supply chain integration, testing and validation, mass production readiness, and U.S. regulatory compliance for the Super One and launching the hardware development of the FX 4.
FF has successfully built a complete cycle for the FF 91—from product definition to after-sales support. Leveraging our 'Light, Swift, and Empowering' model, FX is able to complete this entire process in less time than the industry average.
Middle East Updates
As part of FF's global strategy, the Company's Middle East facility in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) is now ready for occupancy. The local team will be taking over shortly, bringing international production capacity another step closer to reality.
In the second half of the year, and contingent on available funding, FX aims to begin production of the FX Super One in the Middle East.
The Middle East strategy presents four key values:

Saquon Barkley isn't the top fantasy football pick and shouldn't even be a first-rounder
Saquon Barkley shouldn't be a first-round pick in any fantasy football league next season, and it has nothing to do with the Madden Curse. I'm not even sure he should be selected in the first two rounds, given the massive gamble he represents in 2025. I realize that sounds ludicrous, but hear me out. Advertisement Barkley set all sorts of records this past season, but there's one milestone the Philadelphia Eagles star hit that might have gone unnoticed amid all the massive stats he piled up. Barkley carried the ball more times this year (436, including the playoffs) than any running back this century, with one exception: 2014 DeMarco Murray, who matched Barkley at 436. That name — and that workload — should scare the hell out of you. At 26 years old, Murray delivered a fabulous 2014 for the Dallas Cowboys, rushing for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns on 392 carries in the regular season to go along with 57 receptions and 416 receiving yards. He finished as the RB2 in half-PPR formats (Le'Veon Bell was awesome) before signing with the Eagles for his age-27 season. He then proceeded to deeply vex Philly fans and the fantasy owners who drafted him. Despite appearing in 15 games that season, Murray's production and efficiency nosedived. He delivered a career-worst 3.6 yards per carry en route to 702 rushing yards and six touchdowns to go along with 44 catches for 332 yards. So, a year after easily eclipsing 2,000 yards from scrimmage, Murray barely made it back to 1,000 the following year. He went from the RB2 (322.6) in 2014 to the RB15 (162.1 points) in 2015. Yes, you can counter that Murray switched teams, and the Eagles may not have been as adept at deploying him as the Cowboys a year earlier. And no, he wasn't an abject disaster (and it's fair to note he split carries with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles that season), but he was a huge bust as a first-round pick in fantasy. Shockingly, as history is about to show you, for players who take on the workload Barkley just did, Murray's production in 2015 was just about the best-case scenario. And all of these other examples played for the same team following their massive seasons. Below you'll see the 12 running backs who totaled 400-plus carries in a single season (including the playoffs) this millennium, along with their total carries and fantasy finishes that year and the year after. Full disclosure: I almost included a column that displayed total touches for no other reason than to show you how ridiculously close Barkley came to touching the ball 500 times last year. He finished at 482. That's 54 more than Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs — a 23-year-old back being drafted behind the 28-year-old Barkley — has tallied in his first two NFL seasons combined. Fair warning, Barkley fans. The following graphic is not pretty. Grim, right? Murray and his RB15 finish the following year was indeed the best-case scenario. In almost every other instance, backs who shouldered this much workload went from bona fide RB1s to disasters for their league managers. Only four, including Murray, even managed to deliver RB2-type seasons, and all were around the same age as Barkley. Advertisement You know the old fantasy adage: 'You can't win your league in the first round, but you can lose it.' This is how you lose it. Specifically, drafting Barkley in the first round this year is how you lose it. You can go case-by-case — as I did — to see what happened to these backs, but the results won't surprise you. Their bodies just couldn't hold up. They either suffered significant injuries, played through injuries or simply couldn't regain the form they showed the previous year after pushing their bodies to their limits. Now, you might think that all these examples are dated. The NFL has undergone significant changes, and sports science has advanced substantially in the decade since Murray was in the NFL. Maybe. But I'd also suggest there's a reason the NFL stopped giving running backs the type of workloads the Eagles just thrust upon Barkley. (No regrets! They won a Super Bowl!) The last running back to approach 400 carries in a season was the king himself, Derrick Henry. In 2020, the then-26-year-old Titans running back carried the ball 397 times for the Titans, amassing 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns to finish as the RB2. The next season? Henry played just eight games and finished as the RB18. It's also worth mentioning that entering that 2021 season, Henry had tallied 1,407 touches in his NFL career (regular season and playoffs). Entering the 2025 season, Barkley will have piled up nearly 600 more (1,996). Of course, Henry recovered in 2022 and has been one of the most consistent backs in fantasy since. Perhaps Barkley will prove to be even more resilient and deliver in 2025. He could defy all of the odds, but knowing what we know about his predecessors, there's no other way to look at this: He's a terrible bet to deliver RB1 production this season. The good news is that you don't have to make that bet. Just don't take him. Go with one of the elite receivers, like Ja'Marr Chase (who, coincidentally, The Athletic's Jake Ciely has as the 1.01 pick this year), or if you're hellbent on drafting an RB, Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Ashton Jeanty and Derrick Henry are much better bets to return RB1 value. Advertisement What you should do, instead, is short the Barkley market. Let others draft Barkley while you target his backups, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon. According to Fantasy Pros' consensus data, Shipley is RB78 and the 269th player overall, while Dillon is RB107 and the 349th player overall. In other words, they're free. And if/when Barkley goes down, you'll have a starting running back playing behind one of the best offensive lines in football. Finally, and this should go without saying, if you're in a dynasty league, it's time to move on from Barkley. Now. You can still likely get a massive haul from a contending team. Even if the managers in your league are wise enough to read articles like this, the temptation to add the consensus RB1 for the 2025 season will be too much to pass up. Take advantage.
