Much like a mirage, the future of Faraday X remains quite unclear.
- Faraday X has announced plans for a luxurious minivan known as the Super One.
- The company also teased the FX 6, which appears to be a sporty crossover.
- Production could begin as early as this year, but that’s subject to funding and securing agreements.
Faraday Future's new mainstream brand has hinted at two forthcoming models and unveiled its logo. The brand, known as Faraday X (FX), has made several bold commitments, though we remain cautiously optimistic.
Faraday X has announced plans to launch three models, including an innovative “AI-MPV” named the Super One. This vehicle is described as a “revolutionary” option designed to cater to the evolving and varied requirements of forward-thinkers and their families. Additionally, the company claims it will provide “double the performance at a fraction of the cost.”
Faraday went on and on with his confusing talk, leaving us with very few specifics. The unclear teaser image doesn’t offer much clarity either, as it merely depicts a typical minivan shrouded in camouflage.
That being said, Engadget was given a preview and they said the Super One comes with two rows of leather seats. Rear passengers are the priority as there are heated, massaging seats with integrated footrests. The model also has a small fridge, although it sounds like the van is far from finished.

Faraday X has also hinted at their upcoming FX 6, which is expected to be priced between $30,000 and $50,000. Described as an “extra-large luxury AIEV,” this model seems to feature a sleek, curvy design with a distinctive sloping roofline. More details are anticipated to be revealed in March.
Both models are slated to be joined by an entry-level FX 5, which has a targeted price of between $20,000 and $30,000. The company didn’t say much about it, but has previously referred to it as a “large-space sporty AIEV.”

Faraday was coy on performance details, but said “FX models could potentially offer two types of powertrains” including range-extended and battery-electric options. The company also said one of the models could go into production by the end of the year, although that’s “subject to securing necessary funding and agreements.”
This, undoubtedly, highlights Faraday's significant weakness as the company struggles to navigate through one challenge after another. Reports indicate that they have only managed to sell about "15 or 16" FF 91 vehicles, which certainly does not reflect an impressive performance.
