Jia Yueting: FF 91 will hold a global experience day and will be delivered to users in 2018

At 18:00 on December 29, 2017 Beijing time, for many office workers, finishing today's work means they have completed the work for the whole year of 2017. It is time to relax and welcome the arrival of 2018.

At this time, thousands of miles away in the United States, someone posted a big news in his WeChat Moments, announcing that the previously questioned FF electric car would hold a global experience day and recruit dream chasers from all over the world. This person is Jia Yueting.

According to the message pushed by FF's official WeChat account, FF will select three users from around the world to participate in the on-site experience of FF 91 in Las Vegas on January 9, 2018. FF Chief Engineer and professional racing driver Robin Shute will also be present. 91che believes that FF's move at this time is more of a gesture - the gesture of "I'm still here".

Still committed to delivering products in 2018

At the CES exhibition in the United States in early 2017, FF's first mass-produced SUV, the FF 91, was officially released. It is priced at approximately RMB 1.04-1.39 million. Its competitor is Tesla. The maximum power of 1,050 horsepower brings an acceleration time of 0-96 km/h of 2.39 seconds, even surpassing the Ferrari 488GTB.

The high-tech modular smart rearview mirror, the ergonomic "anti-gravity seat" and the innovative facial recognition entry system have all attracted a lot of attention and won the 2017 CES "Best Automotive Product" award. On the day of the press conference, FF officials said that pre-sales have been opened on the official website and it is expected to be officially delivered to users in 2018.

The 2018 CES will be held in the United States soon, from January 9 to 12, 2018, which coincides with the FF 91 Global Experience Day. However, according to the news from FF's official Weibo account, there was no indication that FF would participate in the 2018 CES. However, FF gave a guarantee for product delivery in 2018 and revealed the news of the construction of a new factory in Hanford, California.

Since the advent of the Internet of Vehicles era, more and more car companies have stepped onto the CES stage. CES has become the second battleground for car companies after auto shows. However, FF is giving up this important place at this time, which makes people wonder. Is it because of the broken capital chain and product failure that makes them dare not show up, or is it working behind closed doors to strive for the early mass production of FF 91?

According to domestic policy standards, if Jia Yueting wants to obtain automobile production qualifications, he is expected to first invest 50 billion yuan to build a large enough factory to meet the production scale requirements. However, this 50 billion may be just an optimistic estimate, which is far from enough to meet the actual needs, and there is still a long way to go in the subsequent qualification review. So in the United States, according to California's policies and regulations, will Jia Yueting's car dream come true? Is the promise to deliver new cars to car owners in 2018 a plan of confidence or a stopgap measure?

FF amid rumors

Negative news about Faraday Future and Jia Yueting is nothing new. For example, Jia Yueting's "escape plan", the company's bankruptcy, and a large number of creditors besieging the company to collect debts. Some people may say that there is insufficient evidence and they are not convincing. However, the entire LeTV currently has more than 20 billion yuan in debt, of which more than 10 billion yuan is borne by Jia Yueting's joint liability. Jia Yueting himself has also been included in the list of dishonest persons. These are indisputable facts.

But no matter what, I believe that the majority of investors must be eager for FF to obtain US$1 billion in round A financing to allow FF 91 to achieve mass production, so that Jia Yueting will have the ability to repay his debts, and his efforts will be rewarded. Jia Yueting will really be able to return to China next month, and Jia Yueting’s previous car dream will no longer be empty talk.

In 91che's view, cars are different from digital products such as mobile phones and computers. They are complex systems composed of more than 20,000 parts. Many car companies have gone through decades of accumulation before gaining recognition from the world. For an Internet company to cross over and build cars, it is not a matter of overnight and requires down-to-earth accumulation.

FF 91 is a futuristic and innovative product that is highly competitive in terms of design, performance, smart connectivity and technology. We hope that such a product can be mass-produced in a healthy way and give consumers a satisfactory answer, rather than becoming a victim of the capital flood.
