What is it? The Faraday FX Super One is an exciting new electric MPV from Faraday Future, designed to deliver a luxury driving experience without the exorbitant price tag. This vehicle aims to compete directly with the Cadillac Escalade and boasts impressive AI features, including a large digital display in place of a traditional grille, serving as a platform for your personal AI assistant.
Wait, what? Faraday claims that the Super One will revolutionize how we interact with our vehicles, with AI seamlessly woven throughout its systems. The “Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem) System”—a rather clunky name—will give the vehicle a distinctive ’face’ that can convey emotions.
This unique face will allegedly interact with the surrounding environment and reflect your personality. While the practical implications of this feature are yet to be unveiled, it certainly sparks curiosity, albeit in a peculiar way.

Why should I care? The rise of AI is becoming increasingly unavoidable, and companies around the globe are seeking innovative methods to embed artificial intelligence into their products.
Faraday’s AI integration in the FX Super One appears remarkably futuristic, providing a possible preview of future automotive trends.
Available seating configurations include four, six, and seven-seat options, with plans for an AI-optimized hybrid extended-range model in the future for those who may not prefer the fully electric variant.
The luxurious four-seater “GOAT Edition” is designed for the elite, featuring suspended zero-gravity seats equipped with ventilation, heating, and ten-point massage capabilities. The six and seven-seater variants lean toward a more conventional style, catering to families and business use.
So, what’s next? If the FX Super One intrigues you, you can visit the official Faraday website to place a fully refundable $100 deposit to secure your spot in line. While pricing and availability details remain unclear, the company has hinted at “tech luxury without the $300k price tag.”
Faraday aims to position itself against the Cadillac Escalade, which has a starting price of around $130,000; it’s reasonable to expect the FX Super One to be priced similarly. While it’s not cheap, the company is also working on a more budget-friendly EV option.
However, temper your excitement. There are no guarantees that the final product will actually reach the market, as Faraday has outlined various hurdles, such as the need for regulatory approval for the proposed front grille design and securing necessary agreements for FX vehicle production in the U.S., Middle East, and beyond.
We’ll have to wait and see whether the Faraday FX Super One can measure up to the top luxury EVs and electric SUVs available.
