Faraday Future has started pre-production assembly of its FX Super One multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) at the company’s Hanford, California facility, marking a key step toward the model’s formal rollout scheduled for December 21. The process began following the arrival of knockdown component sets, each vehicle requiring roughly 3,000 parts.
The company said the milestone validates the near-completion of its “Bridge Strategy,” a supply-chain model designed to ensure readiness across logistics, customs compliance, testing operations and tariff adaptation.

The start of assembly also serves as a real-world assessment of the company’s operational and cost-management systems. The pre-production vehicles will be used primarily for engineering validation, internal testing and U.S. marketing activities.
Manufacturing is taking place at the 1.1-million-square-foot “FF aiFactory California,” where Faraday Future has invested about $300 million to date. The site currently produces the FF 91 2.0 and is being prepared to accommodate flexible mixed-line production for future models. With further investment and permitting, the company says the Hanford facility could eventually support annual output exceeding 30,000 FX units.

Engineering validation is progressing in parallel with assembly, including structural and safety testing to verify performance standards. The FX Super One is positioned as an affordable mass-market MPV offering premium interior features, ambient lighting and advanced technologies. Initial configurations include battery-electric powertrains, with a future AI Hybrid Extended Range (AIHER) option planned. All-wheel drive capability will also be available.
