Electric carmaker Faraday Future (FF) is placing another batch of employees on leave, citing the company’s “very tight cash flow.” The move comes as founder Jia Yueting comes under pressure from another ailing company he founded that wants him to use FF assets to repay it.

It added that it takes its relationships with its suppliers “seriously,” and hopes it will receive support from its partners.
