On Monday, Jia Yueting, founder and global co-CEO of California-based Faraday Future, released a weekly business update,It was confirmed that the company had successfully delivered the first batch of EAI robots last week.According to Jia Yueting, Faraday Future delivered the first batch of robots, including 2 Master Ultra and 4 Aegis robots, to Golden Hills, a high-end vacation rental investment and operator headquartered in Florida.
Faraday Future’s EAI artificial robots Futurist and Master have passed US compliance certification.Aegis Robots is expected to complete compliance certification by the end of March, at which time the four Aegis robots delivered as a pilot will be officially delivered.
Jia Yueting also said that Faraday Future will focus on optimizing four priority scenarios: shared short-term rental platforms, high-end restaurants, high-end hotels and car dealers. The goal is to deliver 20 EAI robots in March and 200 in the first quarter. The EAI robot will start from the high-value, highly interactive short-term rental vacation industry.
This delivery may be of great significance to Faraday Future, marking that the company has successfully transformed its EAI robotics technology into practical applications, completing the transformation from electric vehicles to an embodied artificial intelligence company.
Faraday Future plummets
Last month, Faraday Future released its humanoid robot products at the National Automobile Dealers Association show. Its new robots are priced from $2,499 to $34,990. In addition, each robot requires the purchase of additional ecosystem skills packages ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
The company said at the time that more than 1,200 devices had been prepaid with non-binding and non-refundable deposits through business-to-business transactions.
It is worth noting that Faraday Future’s stock price hit a record low in February, once falling to $0.45. Its stock has fallen as much as 57% since the beginning of the year. According to its latest financial report, the company’s revenue in the third quarter of last year was only US$37,000, with a net loss of US$222 million, and the asset-liability ratio was as high as 112.53%.
It is still unclear whether the humanoid robot business can have a "reborn" effect on Faraday Future, but from the perspective of the electric vehicle business, Faraday Future's future is quite pessimistic.
The company released the FF 91 model in 2017 and planned to mass-produce it at the end of 2018, but deliveries actually began in 2023, with deliveries as of 2025 as low as 16 vehicles. This long-term history of bounced orders has made Faraday Future quite suspicious in the capital market.
In addition, in February this year, Faraday Future also reached a cooperation with Huanzhou Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. in Hebei, China. However, the latter was only established for a month and had a registered capital of only 100 million yuan, causing market doubts about its cooperation.
