American auto media: Jia Yueting’s image is now collapsed, and employees even think that as long as he can’t sell one

American auto publication Jalopnik recently published an article revealing lesser-known details about Jia Yueting and the electric car startup Faraday Future (FF). The piece highlights how Jia's image as a towering, visionary entrepreneur has significantly deteriorated. Some current and former employees even claim that as long as Jia remains in control, the company will never be able to sell a single car. Here’s the main content of the article: In the affluent neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, a 725-square-meter mansion sits on a scenic coastline, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. This two-story home features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a three-car garage, and complete privacy—so exclusive that it doesn’t appear on Google Maps. While the property itself isn’t unusual, its owner, Ocean View Drive Inc., is. According to previously unrevealed documents, the company is registered under the name of Chaoying Deng, who was set to become FF’s future executive vice president. In 2016, Ocean View announced that Jia Yueting was its CEO, and he was also one of the major investors in China’s tech scene and in Faraday Future. Despite ongoing financial struggles at FF, this shell company under Jia’s empire continues to hold onto the luxurious property. The house has now become a symbol of controversy, referred to internally as “The Clubhouse.” Four sources told Jalopnik that the mansion serves multiple purposes: it's a temporary residence for new hires, a meeting space, and a high-end venue for events, complete with a private chef and expensive drinks like $2,000 bottles of whiskey. This lavish lifestyle contrasts sharply with the chaos at Faraday Future. Recently, another group of executives left the company, leaving Jia to try to salvage his image as a lone entrepreneur. **Car Dreaming** Faraday Future first made headlines in 2015 with promises of a futuristic, fully automated, customizable electric vehicle, similar to a smartphone. The company painted a vision of cars that could anticipate driver preferences and destinations. Nick Sampson, then senior vice president, claimed, “Our car should be able to read my cravings, understand my preferences, and know where I want to go.” However, despite numerous prototypes and grand visions, the company delivered little in terms of real products. Last year, its flagship model at CES became a laughingstock due to severe financial issues. This year, the situation looks eerily similar, with more layoffs, cash shortages, and new legal troubles over unpaid bills and warehouse rent. Faraday Future declined to comment on Jalopnik’s questions, stating in a brief statement: “As a private company, we will not comment on any financial, legal, or business plan matters related to Faraday Future or its investors.” Jia Yueting remains at the center of the storm. His other company, LeTV, is also facing similar challenges. Sources say Jia refuses to step down from his role at FF, despite repeated investor demands. Although several potential buyers have shown interest, they’ve all insisted on Jia’s departure as a condition for investment. So far, he has refused. Seven former employees and insiders interviewed by Jalopnik all agreed on one thing: for FF to survive, Jia must step down. Michael Dunne, president of Hong Kong-based consulting firm Dunne Automotive, said, “Jia Yueting has proven to be a great entrepreneur and has achieved remarkable success. But in the current situation, he has already gone too far.” [Image: Faraday’s former staff shelled Jia Yueting: as long as he can’t sell one] **FF 91 Conference**

AC Power Supplies

AC power supply is a kind of power supply that converts the input mains or DC input into a pure sine wave output after AC-DC-AC or DC-AC conversion. The ideal AC power supply is characterized by stable frequency, stable voltage, zero internal resistance and pure sine wave output voltage wave (without distortion). Mainly used for power grid simulation tests conducted by various electrical appliance manufacturers on electrical appliances according to the voltage/frequency requirements of different countries, various AC motors, AC transformers, aircraft & mechanical equipment and other electronic devices that require pure, regulated and frequency-stabilized output.

Our AC power supply mainly includes three types
1. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, output voltage and frequency are stable and adjustable with pure sine wave output waveform, so called: Variable Frequency AC Power Supplies.
2. AC Power Supplies converting the DC output of the battery and other DC equipment by DC-AC, giving an AC sinusoidal output with stable output voltage and frequency. so called: Inversion AC Power Supplies.
3. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, giving a variable voltage AC output at constant 400Hz output frequency ultra-high output frequency stability. so called: Intermediate Frequency AC Power Supplies.
4. According to the difference in the number of output phases, the AC Power Supplies can be divided into single-phase output AC power supplies and three-phase output AC power supplies.
Different from Variac and AC voltage regulators, our AC power supplies support the setting of output voltage and frequency and has superior high precision, high stability, and high efficiency stable frequency AC output, not only for AC power conversion but also for AC high precision test purpose.

Through the friendly operation panel, you can read the output data such as output voltage, output current, output power, power factor, etc., providing accurate data records for your test, and can add RS485 interfaces as standard, following the MODBUS-RTU international communication protocol, which can realize remote control and operating status monitoring of the power supplies.

Our AC Power Supplies have comprehensive protection functions, such as: over voltage, over current, over temperature and short circuit protections, which can protect the AC power supplies and DUT from damages.
