LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ("Faraday Future", "FF" or the "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced several new business initiatives and updates as it outlined its 2026 New Year Outlook at its first-ever Stockholders' Day in Las Vegas, coinciding with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The updates included sharing comprehensive milestone targets for the FX Super One, along with the Company's five-year business execution strategy, that plans for between 400,000-500,000 cumulative units, mainly driven by the FX Super One, a planned future FX 4 model, and other planned models.

FX Super One Roadmap for 2026
The production stages for the FX Super One will be laid out as follows: The first phase of delivery is expected to occur in Q2 of this year. It will primarily focus on deliveries to FX Par partners with a cap of 50 units. The second phase of delivery is expected to occur in Q3 of this year, delivering to industry leaders and B2B partners with a cap of 200 units. The third phase of delivery is expected to occur in Q4 of this year or Q1 of next year. This stage will initiate full-scale deliveries, marking the transition to FX's broad market rollout in the U.S.
From 2027 onwards, sales targets of Super One are anticipated to include both BEV and HEREV (hybrid extended range EV) models, driving its volume to about 4,900 units in 2027, 18,000 units in 2028, 38,000 units in 2029, and 55,000 units in 2030.
Regulatory and compliance certifications for Super One are progressing smoothly and on schedule. Key component certifications have almost been completed, laying out a solid foundation for full vehicle certification. The Company will complete vehicle-level EPA, CARB, and FMVSS-related homologation as planned by the third quarter of this year.
To support the delivery milestones, FX will complete the build-out of the after-sales and charging services in Q2, including the underlying systems and operational framework. FF recently signed an agreement with Tesla that enables future FX vehicles to have direct access to Tesla's Supercharger network.
Major Forecast for Product Deliveries – Five Year Business Plan
FF's cumulative five-year production and sales target is 400,000-500,000 vehicles, primarily driven by FX Super One, a planned FX 4 model, and other planned models. Key target markets include the United States and the Middle East, where FX Super One deliveries have already begun. Other high-value markets and additional models under the FX brand are also currently under consideration.
Based on its baseline business plan, the Company is targeting to produce and sell approximately 250 units in 2026, scaling to approximately 5,000 units in 2027, and a ramp up more than approximately 22,000 units in 2028, approximately 130,000 units in 2029, and approximately 250,000 units in 2030 aligned with its model introductions and production volumes.
The Company aims to achieve positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization within three years, with an estimated target gross margin rate of 20%.
The Company believes it can achieve these goals underpinned by strong market demand. In addition, FF has made substantial progress across operational and regulatory milestones. This also includes advanced engagement and readiness with key suppliers; meaningful completion of initial homologation activities; and significant assembly readiness progress at its Hanford manufacturing facility, engineering validation, initial crash testing, battery safety certification, software compliance, and other regulatory requirements. These activities have been executed via a combination of in-house capabilities and independent third-party validation.
Over the next twelve months, a primary focus will be disciplined execution and timely delivery of vehicles to the Company's customers, while maintaining flexibility. FF believes this approach positions itself to mitigate risk and advance steadily toward the objectives outlined in its five-year business outlook.
The Company believes that the successful validation of FF's business model through scaled production volumes will enable further improvements in operational efficiency, potential access to diversified funding sources, and the development of additional strategic partnerships to support long-term growth.
Embodied AI Robotics
Today, FF also announced the unveiling of a new product category under its upgraded Global EAI Industry Bridge Strategy—Embodied AI Robotics. This expansion could further solidify the foundation of FF's EAI ecosystem and raise its long-term growth ceiling, creating greater value for its stockholders and retail investors.
AI is entering large-scale deployment and commercialization. EAI is emerging as a strategic direction with the most profound industrial impact and long-term value in this cycle. FF firmly believes that the upcoming FF Global EAI Industry Bridge Strategy will deliver unique and differentiated value to FF and the entire industry.
With this move, FF looks to take the lead in opening a new AI frontier—starting in the United States. The goal is clear: to become a leading U.S. robotics company and one of the first U.S. companies to deliver humanoid robot products to the market. This dual-track growth model, driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, could define a new growth curve for Faraday Future.
On February 4, in Las Vegas, FF will hold the FF AI Robotics U.S. Final Launch at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show. FF plans to unveil its first embodied AI robotics products, open public product experiences, and begin sales at the same time.
During the NADA Show, FF will also host the first FX Partner (FX Par) Summit. This will give partners the opportunity not only to join the FX vehicle sales and co-creation network, but also to become early FX Par partners of FF AI Robotics. FF welcomes dealers from the automotive and technology industries to register for the event, and join the Company's FF Par network, as it works together to open the grand future for EAI EV and AI Robotics.
"The year 2026 is the Year of the Horse, and I hope that it will also be the year for FF to gallop full speed ahead and ride to victory," said YT Jia. "We will work extremely diligently and fight tooth and nail for the successful production, delivery, and ramp-up of FX Super One as we mark a new era of EAI vehicles and EAI robotics."
