Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: The Company Continues to Take Action in Response to Recently Identified Suspected Illegal Market Manipulation

• FF delivered two FF Master and pre-delivered two FX Aegis robot units this week, expanding into two new application scenarios within its “6-3-3” Industry Applications and Practical Value framework. These new deliveries get FF close to reaching its initial goal of 20 units delivered in the first month.
• FFAI Headquarters will be relocating to a new headquarters in El Segundo, CA later this month. This area, also known as Silicon Beach area of Los Angeles, will better support the advancement of the company’s EAI strategy, help FF attract top AI talent, and strengthen innovation and ecosystem collaboration.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.

“Today’s weekly report was supposed to start with a piece of wonderful news: FFAI Headquarters will relocate to Silicon Beach area next weekend, along with two important business updates on the execution of our EAI strategy. However, because we are deeply outraged by the harm that may have been caused by potential illegal market manipulators to the interests of our stockholders, I want to begin instead with FF’s latest actions in its Counterattack Against Potentially Illegal Market Manipulation and Short Selling.

Recently, the progress of our robotics business has far exceeded our expectations, yet our stock price performance has continued to decline. So what might be behind part of this disconnect? We have become aware of suspected organized illegal market manipulation activity targeting FF. In particular, Hua Qixin and their group are suspected of spreading knowingly false statements, fabricating rumors, making defamatory claims, misleading investors, and manipulating the market for improper gain. These suspected illegal manipulative actions may not only be harming FF, but also harming every stockholder who believes in the Company’s long-term value.

But let me say this: FF has never been a company that can be easily brought down by malicious forces. In the past, we successfully fought back. This time, we have even stronger confidence, more evidence, and greater determination to win this Counterattack Against Potentially Illegal Market Manipulation and Short Selling.

At present, we have already communicated with relevant parties, preserved key evidence, and are preparing for the next step of potentially initiating litigation in both China and the U.S. At the same time, we have also initiated related regulatory complaint procedures, including preparing materials in connection with a potential submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our goal is clear: to ensure FF operates in a clean, fair, lawful, and compliant capital markets environment, and to ensure that FF’s stock price truly reflects the Company’s operating fundamentals and real value.

Taking this opportunity, we are once again publicly calling for relevant leads and evidence. Anyone who has information related to any suspected illegal short-selling or related misconduct is welcome to contact us. The Company will handle all valid leads prudently and in accordance with the law.

The Company is firmly committed to protecting the interests of our stockholders and putting ‘Stockholders First.’ I believe that as long as we stand united against this threat, we will win.

Next, let me talk about the Company’s two important business updates this week:

First, the FF team has remained committed to the R&D of our EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Developer Platform. After a period of focused effort, this week we successfully integrated OpenClaw into the Agent layer of our EAI Brain. This will accelerate the rollout of scenario-based skills, while also allowing us to evolve our brain architecture with OpenClaw’s underlying philosophy.

In the past, when robots were faced with new use cases, they often required extensive reprogramming, customized development, and repeated debugging. By introducing the OpenClaw architecture, the system can achieve modularization and capability decoupling, significantly enhancing the robot’s generalization ability and enabling it to better adapt to changes in the real world. From a user value perspective, this will allow every user to better own a truly personal EAI Agent. Users can also directly assign tasks remotely and receive feedback at any time through instant messaging tools. Even novice users will be able to develop many of the EAI Skills they need themselves through our developer platform, with a very low barrier to entry, continuously creating more value for users.

From the perspective of value for the developer platform, OpenClaw brings no-code programming capabilities. Developers no longer need complex coding. Through natural language alone, OpenClaw can automatically locate documentation and generate code, enabling the rapid development of Agents and Skills while significantly lowering the development threshold and improving efficiency. Skill packages can be quickly generated and deployed, allowing robots to rapidly adapt to different use cases and achieve professionalized, scaled deployment, while also driving the continued growth of the ecosystem.

Second, on the FF EAI robotics side, we delivered two FF Master and pre-delivered two FX Aegis units this week, expanding into two new application scenarios within our ‘6-3-3’ Industry Applications and Practical Value framework: Family learning companion, and high-end estate security. Subject to securing FCC compliance for our Aegis line of robots, with these new deliveries, we will be close to reaching our initial goal of 20 units delivered in the first month.

Today, our team is holding a delivery event to hand over Master and pre-deliver Aegis to our EAI ecosystem partner, 6677 Auto. These robots will primarily be deployed in our ‘Robot & Vehicle + Family Learning Companion’ use case—helping more children gain hands-on exposure to robots and AI and hopefully inspiring the next generation of AI innovators. Family education—especially supporting children and teenagers as they grow—is quickly becoming one of the most valuable and essential application scenarios in the AI era.

Yesterday, we also pre-delivered Aegis, the quadruped, to Pinnacle, a leading real estate brokerage in Los Angeles, launching our ‘Robot & Vehicle + High-end Estate Security’ application. In this use case, the robot will be integrated into high-end property showings, client reception, and immersive home-viewing experiences, expanding the role of EAI robots in premium service environments. At the same time, it can provide robot & vehicle + residential property security for property owners, with capabilities such as autonomous patrol, and early alerts and security deterrence under development.

Finally, let me share some exciting news about FF’s headquarters relocation. After more than a year of searching and preparation, we’ve finalized and signed the lease for our new headquarters in El Segundo, which is in the Silicon Beach area of Los Angeles. We will begin moving next weekend as our new office space comes into use.

If Northern California is known for Silicon Valley, Southern California has Silicon Beach. Over the past decade, Silicon Beach, located along Los Angeles’ West Coast, has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic technology and innovation hubs in the United States. Over the past ten-plus years, it has gradually become home to companies across AI, internet technology, tech entertainment, aerospace, and other frontier industries. The area hosts not only a vibrant startup community, but also major companies like SpaceX, Google, and Amazon, along with a strong concentration of top AI talent, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation resources.

For FF, this location will better support the advancement of our EAI strategy, help us attract top AI talent, and strengthen innovation and ecosystem collaboration. This also marks the first headquarters relocation in FF’s 12-year history, making it an especially meaningful milestone for the company. When we officially move in, I’ll give everyone a tour of the new headquarters—together with our robot friends—so we can all witness the start of this new chapter. I will see you next week!”
