AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/04 Report--

Jia Yueting is a character who is very easy to stir up people's nerves. It has been three years since he turned around to start a car-building business in the United States, and Jia Yueting is still looking around for funds to complete mass production of the new FF 91 car. Recently, Jia Yueting also said: FF 91 is only one foot away from delivery.

FF's official Weibo recently released videos of the assembly and production of "FF 91 pre-production cars" and said the new car project is continuing. How the FF 91 pre-production car is assembled and produced, and the environment of the car factory, can be seen from the video pictures provided by the government.

Jia Yueting's FF has been established for many years, but it is still unable to complete mass production and listing due to financial problems. The word "pre-production car" is also the first time that they have put forward and used it for many years. Jia Yueting also defines FF 91 as a transformative new species and ultra-luxury smart Internet model.

The video of the pre-production car officially displayed by FF includes the process of the frame entering the workshop, the installation of the battery pack, the installation of the interior and the installation of the exterior parts. It can be seen that the degree of automation of the workshop and production station is not high, almost all have to be done by the engineer by hand, including the fastening of some bolts, but also need to be screwed up by the engineer himself.

See here many netizens sigh, "this is to create a high-end pure manual limited edition luxury electric car ah."

Perhaps because there is no complete production line, the FF 91 is assembled in a workstation, which surprised many netizens, after all, only luxury brand cars or supercars with very few production can have a similar mode of production. No wonder FF officials use the term "pre-production car".

Even though Jia Yueting did not give up building a car despite many difficulties and changes, he, who was "set to collapse", and FF 91 repeatedly jumped tickets, and many netizens questioned the production process of the pre-production car on the official display.

One netizen said, "this car is also an old actor." How many times has a car been disassembled and disassembled? Ppt is still working on. " Another netizen said, "this set of parts is disassembled and disassembled, but don't pretend to be broken." Of course, some jokingly said: "will it be mass produced next week?"

For Jia Yueting insists on building cars so far, but has not been able to achieve mass production, many netizens feel sorry and said: "when mass production is the key ah, if not mass production will lag behind."

According to media reports, FF CEO Bifukang previously revealed that the FF 91 positioning luxury car sells for 2 million yuan in China and $200000 in the United States.

The FF 91 looks more science fiction, with 11 screens, a 15.4inch central display, an 11.6inch dashboard and a 10.1inch rearview digital display. In addition, the FF 91 will be equipped with 130kWh batteries that can provide NEDC mileage of more than 700km. The peak motor power of FF 91 is 783kW. 100km/h acceleration time is less than 3 seconds.

FF (Faraday Future, Faraday Future) was founded in 2016 and officially launched its first mass production electric car, the FF 91, in Las Vegas in January of the following year, after which the company announced the completion of a $1 billion round of financing, with Leeco founder Jia Yueting as global CEO and chief product officer. Jia Yueting is the founder and actual controller of FF. Subsequently, due to the outbreak of Jia Yueting's personal debt crisis, FF fell into financial problems. Although it led to the introduction of funds by Evergrande Group in 2018, the two sides broke up in discord due to differences on the issue of control, and the FF car-building project also continued to stagnate.

In July this year, Jia Yueting, founder of FF, announced that the personal bankruptcy restructuring plan had come into effect, which also meant that FF equity financing and IPO projects could proceed smoothly.

Jia Yueting said that the personal bankruptcy restructuring has officially taken effect, and for all his creditors, they will share the future success of FF as shareholders of FF, while he no longer holds an FF stake. For Leeco investors, they can also get the compensation of the established share from the creditor trust after meeting certain conditions; for FF, this means that the asset value has been highly recognized, the biggest obstacles to equity financing and promoting Sino-US dual home strategy have been eliminated, and the development of FF has officially embarked on the fast track. For him personally, it means a restart of life. Jia Yueting said that he will work in an entrepreneurial mentality and start a business in a part-time way. Turning FF into a business is a commitment made by him and all the partners of FF. "Thanksgiving creditors shareholders, investors and Leeco shareholders for my support, trust and understanding, so that I can 'embark' on the road home."

As for the future of FF, Jia Yueting also said that all partners work together to start a business, share risks, govern together, and exercise top-level control over FF, and finally realize their dream and mission. At the same time, FF's first model, FF 91, is only one foot away from delivery. FF's research and development, financing, BD and other businesses are also progressing smoothly, and vehicle software and operating systems are constantly being upgraded. At the beginning of 2019, the FF IPO plan formulated by FF is also in full swing, and the momentum of progress is good. FF is planning to quickly complete the IPO project in the near future.

Maybe Jia Yueting is serious about building cars. How long Jia Yueting's car-building story can last, whether he can get financing to achieve mass production, and so on, everything is unknown.
