Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (FFIE) said Monday that the first two test models of its more affordable FX 6 series have been shipped and will arrive later this month at its Los Angeles headquarters from China.

The shipment marks the launch of the development and testing phase for the model in the US, the company said.

The FX 6, to be priced between $30,000 and $50,000, will be assembled at the company's plant in Hanford, California, the company said.
