Has the American car factory started in Jia Yueting?

Jia Yueting's car-making industry has made new progress.

On March 20th, Faraday Future, an electric vehicle startup invested by Jia Yueting, replied to this newspaper that the company's factory in hanford, California, USA has officially started construction a few days ago. The disclosed photos show that some workers and mechanical equipment have appeared in the factory.

Faraday has always said in the future that it is promoting the production of the first production model FF9 1. At the supplier conference in February this year, Jia Yueting, the main investor and founder of FF, announced that FF had obtained $6,543.805 billion in financing, which met the capital demand before IPO, and FF 9 1 will also be delivered before the end of 20 18. Earlier, some media reported that the battery capacity of FF 9 1 is 130kwh, and the battery life is expected to reach 700 kilometers. The acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 2.39 seconds, and the price may exceed 2 million yuan.

Faraday originally planned to build its own factory in Nevada in the future, but due to financial problems, it rented the existing factory in hanford, California to speed up the mass production process. However, when our reporter visited Faraday's hanford factory in February, 20 17, he found that the factory was still vacant, and now he finally released the start signal.

In addition to the commencement of the hanford factory, Faraday's future affiliated company Ruichi Smart Car (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. is also suspected to participate in the public bidding of a plot in Nansha, Guangzhou. According to the transfer announcement issued by official website, Guangzhou Nansha Land Resources and Planning Bureau, the plot (No.:20 18NGY-2) covers an area of 400,988 square meters, and the starting price is 3641000,000 yuan. In the requirements for bidders, it is clearly stated that "bidders must introduce pure electric vehicle assembly projects with world-class pure electric vehicle R&D and manufacturing level within one month after winning the land".

It is worth mentioning that since LeTV China announced that it would become Faraday's future China at the end of last year, and FF implemented the dual-home strategy between China and the United States, Faraday has launched a recruitment plan in China in the future. Its official WeChat account has launched five recruitment notices in succession, and its work locations are mainly in Beijing and Shanghai, that is, the original LeTV car office is located on the ground, and its positions involve chassis, electronic appliances, interior and exterior decoration of the car body, vehicle control, vehicle integration, electric drive and charging, battery system, trial production and testing and other related professional engineers, including human resources, finance, government affairs, law and administration.

Everyone envies success, but no one helps them when they fail.
