Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (FFAI) held its first Stockholders' Day in Las Vegas on Wednesday, using the CES backdrop to lay out what can only be described as extremely ambitious production targets. The electric vehicle maker is projecting five-year sales of 400,000 to 500,000 vehicles, driven mainly by its FX Super One model and a planned FX 4, along with additional models still in development.
That's quite a ramp. Under the baseline plan, Faraday expects to produce and sell roughly 250 units in 2026, then jump to 5,000 in 2027, over 22,000 in 2028, around 130,000 in 2029, and approximately 250,000 in 2030. The company is focusing on the U.S. and Middle East markets, where FX Super One deliveries have already begun, with other high-value markets under consideration.
The FX Super One Rollout
Faraday's phased approach for the FX Super One starts in Q2 2026 with Phase 1, delivering up to 50 units to FX Par partners. Phase 2 follows in Q3 2026 with up to 200 units going to industry leaders and B2B partners. Then comes Phase 3 in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027, which is when full-scale deliveries kick off and the broad U.S. market launch begins.
The company projects FX Super One sales will grow steadily from there, with combined battery electric vehicle (BEV) and hybrid electric range-extended vehicle (HEREV) models hitting roughly 4,900 units in 2027, 18,000 in 2028, 38,000 in 2029, and 55,000 in 2030.
To support all these deliveries, Faraday plans to finalize its after-sales service and charging infrastructure by Q2 2026, including systems and operations. The company has also secured access to Tesla Inc.'s (TSLA) Supercharger network for future FX vehicles, which should ease range anxiety for potential buyers.
Profitability Timeline
Faraday is targeting positive EBITDA within three years and expects to achieve a gross margin of 20%. That's the kind of profitability metric that investors in money-losing EV startups have been waiting to hear, though execution remains the big question mark.
A Surprise Pivot Into Robotics
Here's where things get interesting. Faraday isn't just sticking with vehicles. The company is expanding into embodied AI robotics under what it calls its Global EAI Industry Bridge Strategy. The idea is to create a dual-track growth model where Faraday leads the U.S. humanoid robotics market while continuing its electric vehicle business.
On February 4 at the NADA Show, Faraday will launch its first AI robotics products, offer public experiences, and begin sales. It's a bold move for a company still ramping up vehicle production, but it fits with the broader industry fascination with AI and robotics.
Middle East Expansion
Last month, Faraday's Middle East subsidiary signed a memorandum of understanding with RAK Digital Assets Oasis, also known as RAK Innovation City. The MOU outlines collaboration in three areas: artificial intelligence, Web3 and the digital economy, and embodied intelligence. It's another piece of Faraday's strategy to build out its presence in high-value international markets.
Price Action: Faraday Future shares were down 4.88% at $1.17 during premarket trading on Thursday.
