History
editFaraday Future was founded by Chinese businessmanJia Yuetingin May 2014[5]and is headquartered inLos Angeles,California, in theHarbor Gatewayneighborhood adjacent toCarson,California. From its inception in 2014, the company grew to 1,000 employees by January 2016.[6]
The company is named for a founding principle of electric motor technology known asFaraday's law of induction,[7]which in turn is named after English scientistMichael Faradaywho discoveredelectromagnetic induction.
In October 2024, Faraday Future and Master Investment Group of United Arab Emirates announced a co-investment agreement to launch operational and sales activities within the UAE in 2025 and 2026.[8][9]
Factory plans
editFaraday Future announced in November 2015 that it would invest up to $1 billion in its first manufacturing facility.[10]
In December 2015, Faraday Future settled on a location inNorth Las Vegasfor its manufacturing site,[11]to be built byAECOMfor $500 million.[12]Construction began in April 2016 on infrastructure which Nevada agreed to build, but was suspended in November pending verification of Faraday Future's financial stability.[13]The facility was spurred by a $215 milliontax incentive,and a 4-mile (6 km)railway spurin 2018 to the 300 million sq ft (28 million m2) future factory with 4,500 full-time employees.[14]
On May 24, 2016, the City ofVallejo,California, announced a May 31 Special City Council meeting to consider an exclusive negotiating agreement. This represented the first step to bring Faraday Future toMare Island.FollowingKarma Automotive'snew plant in Moreno Valley,[15]the project would be the second new automobile manufacturing facility to be built from the ground up in California within the last few years. It was projected to bring hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment to the local economy.[16]On May 31, 2016, the City Council unanimously agreed to enter the 6-month agreement.[17][18]
Due to plans to develop a production vehicle and plant in North Las Vegas, Faraday Future ended its exclusive agreement with the City of Vallejo in March 2017.[19]
On July 10, 2017, the company announced it would no longer build a plant in North Las Vegas because of financial setbacks.[20][21]
In August 2017, the company announced that it had signed a lease for a formerPirellitire plant inHanford,California. The company said that it could employ up to 1,300 people over time and build up to 10,000 cars a year at that location.[22]
Concept vehicle and other planned vehicles
editFaraday Future originally planned to launch its first fully electric vehicle in 2017, with the possibility of producing a larger range of vehicles over time.[23] The company has implied plans to explore other aspects of the automotive and technology industries, such as alternative ownership and usage models, in-vehicle content, and autonomous driving.[24]
In July 2015,Motor Trendrevealed tentative specifications for Faraday Future's proposed electric vehicle: it will have 15 percent higherspecific energythan aTesla Model S,it utilizes a multicellsolution where both individual cells and groups of cells can be replaced, and it will have a modular design for improved mass-production methods.[25]
At the November 2015LA Auto Show,former Head of Design Richard Kim discussed his interest in creating a vehicle that featured internet access,in-car entertainment,aromatherapytechnology, and ergonomic interior design.[26]
On January 4, 2016, at the USConsumer Electronics Show,Faraday Future revealed its concept vehicle, 1,000 hp (750 kW), 200 mph (320 km/h), single seat sportscar FF ZERO1.[27]Their video demonstrated how their Variable Platform Architecture (not in the concept vehicle) would allow for many body styles and battery configurations, but specific details or production schedules were not given for these potential car designs, only outlines of acrossover-like vehicle.[28]Following the revelation, comments on social media expressed disappointment that the only design exhibited was a high-end concept race car that would never be produced.[29]
Faraday Future planned to begin testing self-driving vehicles on California roads after winning approval fromCaliforniain June 2016.[30]
Faraday Future unveiled its luxury model FF 91 130 kWh crossover vehicle, its first production vehicle, at the January 2017 US Consumer Electronics Show,[31][32]withconnected carfeatures.[31]Faraday received 64,124 reservations within the first 36 hours, despite a demonstration that did not go particularly well.[33]It is claimed to accelerate 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in less than 2.5 seconds,[34][35]costing less than $300,000.[36]Faraday Future plans several cars based on its Variable Platform Architecture.[37]
In April 2019, Faraday Future announced a partnership with Chinese video game company,The9,to develop a minivan named the V9, exclusively for the China market.[38][39]
Financial struggles
editIn late 2015, the company said that part of Faraday Future's revenue stream was expected to come from alternative sources, with the anticipated revenue structure closer to that of the smartphone than to that of standard automobile sales.[40]
By 2016, Faraday had been the subject of speculation voiced by ex-employees and government officials who expressed doubts about the company's finances.[41][42]The company had failed to fund even relatively small escrow accounts, which led to some analysts doubting the company's financial solidity and overall investment strategy.[43]In July 2016, several investment officers and managers expressed concern over the company's finances.[44][45]
Faraday Future suspended work on its Nevada site in November 2016 until the first $300 million of a claimed $600 million in funding would be realized.[46][47][48]The delay was criticized by Nevada officials,[49]which Jia refuted.[50]Among FF's many financial challenges as of late 2016 was providingsuretyfor a $140 millionloanwhenLeEcobought a $250 million piece of land in California fromYahoo.[51]
The majority shareholder for the company was founderJia Yueting.In late 2017, thenCFOStefan Krause andCTOUlrich Kranz departed Faraday Future in a dispute with owner Jia over financing and the impending exhaustion of cash. Krause and Kranz founded Evelozcity (now calledCanoo) in late 2017, a competing electric car maker, and poached former Faraday Future employees. Jia then took over as CEO of the company, securing a round of financing, when the company was facing depletion of their cash supply, and started paying off debts to suppliers. At the time, Jia was in debt in China, with suppliers, creditors, and government, camping out at his Chinese companyLeEco.[52]The new financing involved US$1 billion for 25% of the outstanding shares in the company. In the followup to this round of financing, Jia had reiterated that the FF91 would debut on schedule, at the end of 2018.[53][54][55]
In early 2018, Faraday Future acquired a $1.5 billion funding commitment from an undisclosed Hong Kong investor, with $550 million invested initially and the balance coming as the company met milestones.[56]A report indicated that the new lifeline entailed a lien on the company's assets as collateral.[57]By April 2018, Faraday Future secured a contract to build an assembly plant in aGuangzhoufree zone area dedicated to the manufacture of smart equipment and new energy vehicles.
In May 2018, the company announced the appointment of Michael Agosta as vice president of finance for North America.[58]Agosta was the previous CFO of Ford Motor Company Middle East and Africa.[58]The announcement was seen as a commitment on the part of the organization to follow through on Jia Yueting's promise to produce its first EV, the FF 91, by 2018.[58]An internal email sent by Jia Yueting showed that the vehicle was nearing delivery.[59]This confirmed Agosta's prepared statement during his appointment that said "2018 is going to be an exceptional year for FF to deliver its first FF 91 to the market, and I will lead my team to make sure we are ready for this goal and beyond."[60]
In August 2018, Faraday Future received US$854 million fromEvergrande Groupfor a 45% stake in the company.[61]However, in October 2018 the company sought to call off the deal, with Jia entering arbitration with Evergrande.[62]Also in October 2018, the company announcedlayoffs,a 20% salary cut for all staff, and a revised salary of $1 for Jia.[63]Co-founder Nick Sampson and senior vice president Peter Savagian resigned from the company following the announcement of layoffs.[64]In December 2018 the company announced massive layoffs due to a cash crunch and financial pressure, and by the end of 2018 the staff was planned to be reduced by 40% (from 1000 to 600).[65][66]
In March 2019, Faraday Future announced a new 50–50 joint venture with Chinese online game operatorThe9to make EVs in China, with The9 announcing it would contribute up to $600 million for the project.[67][68]In May 2019 it was reported that Faraday Future was undergoing restructuring[69]and in June the company fired dozens of employees on unpaid leave.[70]
The company's founder Jia Yueting filed for personal bankruptcy in United States federal court in Delaware on October 14, 2019.[71]Following Jia's personal bankruptcy, he stepped down from his role as CEO of Faraday Future in order to assume a new position as the Chief Product and User Officer (CPUO). Jia was replaced as CEO byCarsten Breitfeld- former CEO at rival electric vehicle startupByton.[72]
In February 2024, the lessor of the company's headquarters inGardena,Rexford Industrial, served a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit due to unpaid rent of $917,887.26. It required the company to either pay rent or forfeit the building within 5 days. This was followed by an eviction complaint filed by the Superior Court of California.[73][74]
Becoming publicly-traded
editIn January 2021, Faraday Future announced that the company would go public through a reverse merger withspecial-purpose acquisition companyProperty Solutions Acquisition Corp. The combined company would be valued at US$3.4 billion. Chinese automakerGeelywas expected to become a strategic partner of Faraday Future. Faraday Future was expected to set up contract manufacturing operations in China through their partnership with Geely. Taiwanese manufacturerFoxconnwas expected to serve as an additional strategic partner of Faraday Future in a yet to be determined capacity.[75]
