Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFAI) founder and global Co-CEO YT Jia issued a weekly update on Sunday detailing the company’s pivot toward robotics and recent support from institutional investors.
The California-based electric vehicle ecosystem is expanding its “Dual-Engine EAI” strategy, which integrates artificial intelligence across both its vehicle lineup and a new robotics business.
Robotics Expansion Anchors Dual-Engine Strategy
Jia said the first Faraday Future EAI robotics product cleared U.S. regulatory certification and is nearing a commercial launch, while approvals for the rest of the initial product batch continue and should wrap up soon.
He said the company aims to link launches directly to sales and move into deliveries within the same month.
He added that Faraday Future is building a path to transfer its auto-grade AI capabilities from EAI electric vehicles into robots, with the goal of strengthening robot intelligence and control systems.
He also said Faraday Future sees an advantage in what it describes as an “EAI+Crypto” ecosystem that can feed technology learnings across different use cases.
February Launch Event And Product Showcase
Jia said the Faraday Future EAI Robotics Product Final Launch and the Faraday Future and FX partner recruitment conference on February 4 will highlight a “Robot & Vehicle +” theme and outline how the company plans to address challenges around real-world applications, cost, user experience, and ecosystem development.
He said the company will share additional product details at the Las Vegas Convention Center during the NADA Show.
Institutional Support And Global Visibility
On the capital side, Jia said BlackRock increased its stake in Faraday Future, citing a Schedule 13G filing that showed holdings of about 9.5 million shares as of December 31, 2025, up from about 6.8 million shares as of September 30, 2025, an increase of about 40%.
Jia also said Faraday Future showcased the FF 91, FX Super One, and its EAI robotics strategy at the UMEX 2026 exhibition in Abu Dhabi from January 20 to 22, and he said the booth drew attention from senior UAE officials.
He added that AIxC launched an accelerated global hiring effort to support execution across its core business lines and started a new X Space event series, with plans to expand community engagement over time.
On January 8, Faraday Future laid out its production, delivery, and growth roadmap at its first Stockholders’ Day in Las Vegas, outlining plans to scale vehicle output while expanding into embodied AI robotics.
The company said it aims to produce and sell 400,000 to 500,000 vehicles over the next five years, driven mainly by the FX Super One, a planned FX 4 model, and additional future vehicles.
Faraday Future identified the U.S. and the Middle East as core markets.
Under its base-case plan, the company expects to deliver about 250 vehicles in 2026, ramp to 5,000 in 2027, exceed 22,000 in 2028, reach roughly 130,000 in 2029, and approach 250,000 units in 2030 as new models launch.
It also targets positive EBITDA within three years and a long-term gross margin of about 20%.
