- 位于美国加州的FF ieFactory California即将完工-
- 正在与多方进行融资活动
- 预计将于2022年第四季度开始量产交付
美国加州洛杉矶（2022年8月29日）— 总部位于美国加州的全球共享智能电动出行生态系统公司Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) ("FF", “Faraday Future” 或"公司")今天发布业务进展更新，融资活动和推出FF 91电动车正在同步进行。
公司位于美国加州汉福德的FF ieFactory California在充满挑战的宏观环境下持续性取得进展，目前，开始量产（"SOP"）所需的所有设备都已就位。此外，全面提高产量所需的其他相关设备预计在今年晚些时候运抵工厂，公司预计这些设备不会对产能提升的时间或速度产生实质性影响。随着设备陆续到位，Faraday Future 在工厂车辆主制造区的设备安装方面取得了实质性进展。“FF ieFactory California团队正在持续高质量生产制造用于最终测试验证的准量产车，我很高兴能看到工厂在量产（SOP）的道路上持续性取得进展。我们正在共同建设一个真正的世界级豪华汽车工厂，在这里我要感谢FF杰出的汉福德团队和工程承包商”，Faraday Future 全球CEO 毕福康博士说。
目前，公司的业务计划设想包括在2022年第四季度开始交付FF 91电动车。相关的测试、验证和认证工作也将在第四季度完成。 “先前，我们注意到了在供应链方面的一些挑战，这影响了FF 91的量产时间表。我们已经宣布成功筹集了$5,200万美元的担保票据融资，并正继续与多方进行进一步的融资探讨。但同时我们在完成这些潜在交易的过程中也影响了FF 91电动车的生产交付时间”，毕福康博士继续说，“公司已经采取了保护现金流的行动，包括减少支出、延长付款周期及实施其他类似措施等。 截至2022年8月26日，公司在美国的现金余额为$4,720万美元，限制性现金为$150万美元。筹集额外资金的时间和数额可能会影响到工厂产量提升的时间和速率，这也可能会大大影响预期的产量。”
“FF的旗舰电动车FF 91将是市场上第一款高端、高性能的极智科技奢华电动车，并将重新定义用户的驾乘体验。当我们在第四季度推出FF 91时，我们将向消费者展示智能互联出行的未来，”毕福康博士总结道。
