A Bold Entry into the AI-EV Space
On July 17, Faraday X unveiled its first mass-market vehicle: the FX Super One, a luxury MPV designed to be everything the Cadillac Escalade is—and everything it isn’t. Held in Los Angeles, the reveal was less about showing off a product and more about announcing a new category of electric vehicle. Attendees ranged from tech executives and automotive investors to racing celebrities like Cody Walker and Lindsay Brewer, all gathered to witness the public debut of what the company is calling the first-class EAI-MPV—an embodied AI-powered multi-purpose vehicle that blends family practicality, executive polish, and intelligent tech.
Backed by $105 million in new financing, the FX Super One is the first offering in a line of vehicles Faraday X plans to release under the FX brand—distinct from its luxury halo product, the FF91. Unlike that $300,000 flagship, the Super One is being pitched as a widely accessible electric luxury solution—one that offers “tech luxury without the $300K price tag.”
Pre-orders are open now with just a $100 deposit, positioning the FX Super One as one of the most accessible entries into the emerging AI EV space.
The New Luxury: Expression, Intelligence, and Flexibility
What sets the FX Super One apart isn’t its design or drivetrain—it’s its interface. The front fascia features what Faraday X calls the Super EAI F.A.C.E. System, a responsive LED panel that can display anything from a calming visual to an animated face. The company claims this system allows the car to “perceive through five senses and express emotions,” giving each vehicle a customizable digital identity.
The F.A.C.E. system is part of a broader technological platform: the FF EAI Embodied AI Agent 6×4 Architecture. This six-platform, four-system stack includes full-cycle perception, adaptive AI, cloud-based behavior learning, and a driving suite powered by lidar, millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic sensors, and high-resolution cameras. Together, the car behaves less like a tool and more like a semi-autonomous agent—anticipating preferences, reacting to surroundings, and evolving with the user.
Inside, the cabin mirrors the intent: intelligent, indulgent, and multipurpose. Standard features include:
- Zero-gravity recliners with body-hugging ergonomics
- A Dolby Atmos–equipped immersive widescreen
- A precision-controlled smart refrigerator
- Fold-out work tables for on-the-go productivity
- Multiple seating configurations: four-seat GOAT, six-seat, or seven-seat editions
Faraday X calls the Super One “a mobile lounge, an office, and a first-class suite.” The GOAT Edition, in particular, seems aimed at high-profile buyers—named in honor of the “greatest-of-all-time” and featuring retractable panoramic displays and ultra-lux features.
Is This the New Escalade—or Something More?
The FX Super One isn’t just competing with premium MPVs or executive EVs—it’s trying to bridge both markets. In form, it’s a van. In behavior, it’s something between a Tesla Model X, a Maybach, and a private jet cabin.
It features dual-motor all-wheel drive, a 130-inch wheelbase, a flat-floor design, and 39.4 inches of third-row legroom. Users can fold the seats down to turn the back into a sleeping area or pack up to six golf bags with the right configuration.
Powertrain options include a pure battery-electric model and, coming soon, an AI Hybrid Extended Range (AIHER) version—engineered to eliminate range anxiety while preserving electric-first operation. All models come with AWD, smart torque balancing, and real-time environmental perception.
Faraday X claims the Super One will “redefine how American users perceive traditional luxury business travel”—blending practicality and presence for a post-sedan world.
A Bet on Post-Autonomy Mobility
What makes Faraday X worth watching isn’t just the product—it’s the positioning. Where much of the EV market is still chasing full autonomy, Faraday X is sidestepping that race in favor of embodied interaction. Their vehicles are not self-driving, but self-adaptive—learning user preferences, adapting to schedules, and providing intuitive responses to needs before they’re articulated.
This could prove more attractive in the short term, especially for high-income buyers who want comfort and control, not just automation. The FX Super One appears to understand that luxury today is less about horsepower and more about presence, personalization, and multi-role utility.
Whether it captures the market remains to be seen. But for a $100 bet, the Super One may be one of the most interesting—and intelligent—vehicles on the road next year. Pre-orders for the FX Super One are now open at Ff.com. Final specs and pricing will be released later in 2025.
