FF Signs First B2B Pre-order Agreement for 1,000 Units of FX Super One, Achieving Initial Success in Global Automotive Industry Strategy - Faraday Future (NASDAQ:FFAI)
Early market traction underscores strong market demand and momentum, confirms long-term strategy ahead of the first official FX product launch this June, securing recognition from an East Coast business validates FF's unique "Three Pillars" model of user acquisition, co-creation, and user operations. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. FFAI ("Faraday Future", "FF" or the "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that it has signed the first binding business-to-business (B2B) pre-order agreement, which includes a non-refundable deposit and a non-binding reservation for 1,000 units of the Company's highly anticipated FX model, the Super One MPV (Multi-purpose vehicle). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250429222401/en/ FF Signs First B2B Pre-order Agreement for 1,000 Units of FX Super One, Achieving Initial Success in Global Automotive Industry Strategy The pre-order was placed by New York City-based automotive dealership, 129 Auto Sales Corp., doing business as JC Auto. It is paying a $100,000 non-refundable deposit, which can be used toward the purchase of FX vehicles, to secure priority delivery of up to 300 FX vehicles, subject to an additional payment. This reservation reflects positive market feedback in the U.S., including by East Coast users. JC Auto plans to establish a premium fleet of up to 300 vehicles that covers the New York area using the FX Flagship model, Super One MPV. The remaining reserved vehicles would be for additional fleet purchases or for users that JC Auto identifies. It also signifies a key milestone in FF's Global Automotive Industry Strategy and high potential of its "four blue ocean markets" in the U.S. AIEV market. JC Auto, with years of experience in vehicle leasing and sales, plans to utilize up to 300 of FX Super One vehicles for business expansion initiatives such as establishing an Uber Black fleet and providing VIP transport services for high-end hotels and airports in New York. JC Auto will also become a co-creation partner, collaboratively sharing and delivering the unique value of the First Class AI-MPV experience. This is a critical step towards realizing FX's vision. It could help the Company unlock real value while validating the effectiveness of the "Three Pillars" user ecosystem strategy, making the goal of each FX vehicle becoming a hit product increasingly attainable. First Class MPVs have already become a preferred choice for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals in China, Hong Kong, and across Asia, serving as both business and family vehicles. However, American consumers have yet to experience a truly powerful AI MPV product. FX Super One, which could be the first First Class AI-MPV in the U.S., would address this unmet demand and open up a vast blue-ocean market. The FX Super One could not only deliver a superior user experience compared to mainstream premium business vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade, but also create a disruptive, cross-dimensional advantage, positioning itself to quickly become a best-seller across the U.S. market. The Company anticipates that the FX Super One will initially be available as a pure electric vehicle, with the later addition of a super AI hybrid extended range (AIHER) electric powertrain option. FX's proprietary AIHER system, which is being designed and developed, would offer a fusion of hybrids and range extenders, primarily range-extended with hybrid drive playing a secondary role, and could fundamentally overcome the weaknesses of conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems, making it particularly suited to the cold winters of the U.S. East Coast. The FX Super One, an affordable mass market EV, is anticipated to have the first vehicles off the line by the end of 2025. Offering a spacious, meticulously crafted interior with high-end materials and advanced technology, FX Super One prioritizes passenger comfort with features such as reclining seats, ambient lighting, and premium entertainment systems. The electric powertrain ensures a smooth, quiet ride while delivering improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, aligning luxury with sustainability. The Company is targeting tens of thousands of FX vehicle sales within two years of production, subject to securing the necessary agreements and funding. "Securing our first B2B reservation is a clear indication that we're addressing an unmet need in today's EV market," commented YT Jia, Founder and Co-Global CEO of Faraday Future. "The early excitement around the FX brand underscores the innovation and forward-thinking design we're bringing to the market. As we advance toward our long-term goals, we're energized by this momentum and look forward to seeing the FX on roads across the U.S. very soon. We will work tirelessly to achieve our goal of the first vehicle rollout by the end of this year." "We experienced both FF and FX vehicles at FF's Los Angeles headquarters and fell in love immediately with all of them. We think the FX Super One MPV will serve great needs among premium automotive market in U.S. at scale, with an affordable price, together with a premium user experience, and are thrilled to partner with Faraday Future and bring their groundbreaking vehicles to our customers," said Michael Wang, General Manager of JC Auto. "Faraday Future's commitment to innovation, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable mobility sets them apart in the EV market. We're confident that the Super One will resonate with drivers seeking a next-generation electric vehicle experience, and we look forward to a successful collaboration as these vehicles hit our showroom and the roads in New York." The FX Super One is anticipated to be unveiled in June of 2025, and expects to start collecting paid reservations thereafter. Development of the second and third potential FX models is also progressing. The FX brand strategy aims to seize what the Company has identified as "four blue ocean markets" in the U.S. AIEV market: range-extended vehicles, intelligent vehicles defined as mobile living spaces, and affordable AIEV's priced between $20,000 to $40,000. Faraday Future's appointment of company founder YT Jia as Co-Global CEO underscores a renewed focus on visionary leadership and accelerated innovation, particularly as the Company aims to integrate advanced AI into its new FX lineup. With ambitious sales targets and plans for global expansion, Faraday Future is positioning itself as a bold contender in the evolving EV market.

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO, YT Jia, Shares Weekly Investor Update
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 update from YT Jia, Founder and Co-CEO of FF. "Welcome to the very first Co-CEO Weekly Investor Update. Why did I decide to launch this weekly update the very first week as Co-CEO? Because I believe in putting both our major stockholders and individual stockholders first. And because a promise must be kept. Relying only on traditional channels -- like annual and quarterly reports -- is no longer enough. To better collect your feedback and respond in a timely and transparent way, my very first action as Co-CEO is to build an open communication mechanism that is open and transparent and fully based on compliance with laws and regulations. This Weekly Investor Update is just the first step. It's the beginning of our delivering on promises and rebuilding trust. Now, what you're seeing here are some of the key tools we use in our day-to-day operations. In the future, I will share more details with you on how these tools help us manage the company, drive product development and delivery, and build our user ecosystem. We aim to manage the entire company as if it were a product. And I'm not just the chief product officer for our vehicles and technology, I'm also the chief product officer for how we turn the entire company into a product-like and AI-powered organization. Going forward, the content of these weekly reports will be based on these core management tools. They won't just be about financial indicators and operational data. Instead, like a product manager, I will walk you through the overall state of the company and our progress each week. This week, we officially kicked off the 10 Punch Combo Initiative for both FF and FX. Our biggest breakthrough came on the sales front, especially in our B2B co-creation ecosystem. Following Tuesday's announcement of a binding pre-order agreement for 1,000 units of FX Super One, which includes a non-refundable deposit and a non-binding reservation from a dealership in New York, we secured another B2B deal on Thursday. Using the same model, we signed a binding pre-order agreement for 300 units of FX Super One, which includes a non-refundable deposit and a non-binding reservation from Skyhorse, a mobility solutions provider based in California. Skyhorse will also become a new co-creation partner, working with us to co-create and share the blue ocean value of the First Class AI MPV market. With our B2B business gaining traction on both the East and West Coasts, the strong response from major clients, from the rental and car-sharing markets, has been a huge morale boost for us and for our strategic partners in the Bridge Strategy. The level of interest from U.S. users in AIEV models with extreme price-to-performance ratio like ours is even greater than we expected. We believe there's tremendous potential in the four major blue ocean markets we're targeting." "In addition, we saw initial success this week in our Counterattack Against Potentially Illegal Short Selling. We released an official update on the progress we've made in addressing potential illegal shorting and online manipulation targeting FFAI. An individual and related accounts involved have issued a public apology and removed all related content suspected of market manipulation. We will continue to take action to protect the rights of our stockholders. Any illegal attempts to harm FF or damage investor interests through illegal short selling will come at a cost. Now that I've shared the good progress, I also want to talk about the areas where we've fallen short and need serious reflection.As I just showed you in the operational overview, despite the breakthroughs this week, there were still some tasks we didn't complete, or that were delayed. Why did this happen? In my view, the root cause lies in our company culture,organizational efficiency, and how we manage performance. 1. Strong performance can at times go unrecognized or unrewarded. And there are also times when mistakes go unaddressed. 2. Cross-cultural collaboration is still a major challenge. 3. A "Say No" culture still exists. Too often, when people hear about a new idea or task, their first response is to say "No," instead of asking themselves, "How can I make this happen?" This is not the FF culture we want. And we must make a change. 1. We are restarting our reward-and-accountability mechanism. Those who perform well should be strongly rewarded. Those who fall short must be held accountable. In fact, this week, we have already terminated, optimized, or restructured several senior management roles. 2. We are rebuilding our core values and company mindset. One that is goal-driven, execution-focused, and results-oriented. 3. In FF, different opinions are welcomed only with solutions to address the issues. This is where "execution with all your might" starts. Looking ahead to next week, my focus will be on four key task streams within our S0-S7 company-level strategic roadmap: S1: Building Our User Ecosystem S1.1.1 We're building out our user ecosystem, including a co-creation-based direct online sales model. This is all to prepare for the official launch of our FX Super One product and its first major official push to consumers. We've already started the internal countdown toward launch. S1.1.4 We are also continuing to drive B2B sales and secure pre-orders. We've started outreach to major U.S. ride-hailing platforms to explore strategic partnerships and business models that can empower FX Super One with large enterprise clients. S1.2.2: We will continue building a full user operations system, including after-sales services." "S2, S3, S4: Product Development Our first potential FX vehicle line, Super One, is moving ahead with engineering, testing, supply chain, and production readiness. Our second vehicle model has entered open-road testing in the U.S., and we'll be sharing more updates on that very soon. S5 Capital & Finance S5.2.1 We are fully focused on preparing our Q1 financial results and upcoming earnings call. I'll share updates on our progress next week. S7: Capabilities, Systems & Operations S7.2: We are prioritizing the build-out of our financial systems. In future reports, I'll also provide more structured updates on the development of both the FF and FX organizational systems and capabilities. I was truly surprised and moved by the response to the news of my appointment as Co-CEO last week. During interviews, I even reconnected with a few long-time media friends -- it was a deeply emotional moment. It's been eight years since I left my hometown, and I'm grateful -- and humbled -- that so many back home are still watching and supporting me. At the same time, I also feel a strong sense of responsibility. FF hasn't succeeded yet, and for that, I feel deeply sorry. But we're not giving up. We will succeed. This first week as Co-CEO has been intense -- there's pressure, of course, and anxiety at times -- but above all, I feel a renewed sense of purpose. This "Investor Weekly" is one way I'm holding myself accountable. I hope we can keep this going as a commitment to putting stockholders first. Some major milestones this week also reminded me: when we stay focused, do the right things, and execute relentlessly, the results will exceed expectations. We talk a lot about "blue oceans," but when the market starts responding, when customers come to you -- that's when you realize the dream is real. It's not just talk. You really can carve out a new path by sheer effort. We're just getting started on the road to success -- for both FF and FX. Through this Co-CEO Investor Weekly, I hope to keep communicating and engaging with all of you, and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Leave me a comment -- I'll try to answer as many questions as I can. See you next week!"

Faraday Future announces two significant pre-order agreements for its upcoming FX Super One MPV, totaling 1,300 units from East and West Coast partners, showcasing growing interest in its AI-powered electric vehicles.
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI), a California-based electric vehicle (EV) company, has announced two significant pre-order agreements for its upcoming FX Super One Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV). These deals mark a crucial milestone in the company's global automotive industry strategy and validate its unique "Three Pillars" model of user acquisition, co-creation, and user operations 12.
The first agreement, announced last week, involves a binding business-to-business (B2B) pre-order from New York City-based automotive dealership JC Auto. The deal includes:
JC Auto plans to utilize the vehicles for various business expansion initiatives, including establishing an Uber Black fleet and providing VIP transport services for high-end hotels and airports in New York 1.
Following closely on the heels of the East Coast deal, Faraday Future secured another binding pre-order agreement with Sky Horse Auto LLC, a California-based mobility solutions provider. This agreement includes:
Sky Horse intends to integrate these vehicles into its expanding premium fleet, serving leisure and business travelers across key West Coast markets, including Orange County, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas 3.
The FX Super One, positioned as an affordable mass-market EV, is slated for initial production by late 2025. Key features include:
Faraday Future aims to unveil the FX Super One in June 2025 and begin collecting non-binding paid reservations thereafter. The company is targeting tens of thousands of FX vehicle sales within two years of production, subject to securing necessary agreements and funding 4.
Faraday Future's FX brand strategy aims to capitalize on four identified "blue ocean markets" in the U.S. AIEV sector:
YT Jia, Founder and Co-Global CEO of Faraday Future, expressed optimism about the company's progress, stating, "Securing our first B2B reservation is a clear indication that we're addressing an unmet need in today's EV market" 1.
As Faraday Future moves forward with its ambitious plans, the company faces challenges in company culture, organizational efficiency, and performance management. Jia has committed to addressing these issues by restarting reward-and-accountability mechanisms, rebuilding core values, and fostering a more execution-focused mindset 5.
