March 29 (Reuters) - Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc (FFIE.O) said on Wednesday it has started production of its much-delayed first luxury electric car, FF 91 Futurist, at its California factory.
"This shows that FF has entered a new phase under the governance and operation of the new board and management," founder YT Jia said in a statement.
The FF 91 Futurist is expected to be offered in both the U.S. and China markets, with initial 2023 sales to begin in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Shanghai and Beijing, the company said.
Deliveries in the U.S. will begin at the end of April 2023, a spokesperson for Faraday Future told Reuters, but did not give details on who the first customers would be.
