With the former chief designer of BMW leaving and only three people left in the executive team, can Jia Yueting still build cars?

Unable to complete $500 million in financing, Faraday Future, the only place where Jia Yueting's "car-making dream" can be realized, has fallen into huge financial problems. Now, not only is there no money, but useful talents within the American electric car company are also leaving in large numbers.

Relevant information shows that before joining Faraday Future, Richard Kim led special design teams for Audi, Bentley and Porsche at the Volkswagen Group's California Design Center. In 2008, he was also one of the chief designers of the BMW i team and conducted conceptual designs for new energy vehicle models such as the BMW i3, i8 and i8 Spyder.

After joining Faraday Future, Richard Kim also became the main designer of Faraday's first mass-produced model FF91, and can be regarded as a general in Jia Yueting's car-making journey.

Of course, this is not the first time Faraday Future has lost important talent. Just over a month ago, Faraday Future's CFO and CTO both chose to resign. In August and October of this year, Faraday Future's Vice President of Human Resources Alan Cherry and Senior Vice President of Global Supply Chain Tom Wessner also resigned one after another, casting a shadow on Jia Yueting's "car-making dream."

Although Richard Kim is still listed in the executive information on Faraday's official website, if the rumors of Richard Kim's resignation are true, then Faraday's future executive team will only have three members left.

So, how long will it take for FF91 to be officially put into mass production?
