LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 8, 2026--

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260208761162/en/

“This week, the launch of FF’s EAI Robotics products generated stronger-than-expected engagement. We trended at the top of major platforms across multiple channels. Thank you, sincerely, for following our progress and for your support of FF and me. I believe FF’s operating fundamentals are improving.

That said, in the capital markets, recent broad volatility has driven short-term sentiment swings. FFAI experienced a substantial increase in trading volume and short selling, and our share price experienced abnormal volatility and closed below $1.00 the last two trading days.

Our EAI Robotics strategy has been very well received in the private markets, with overall recognition meaningfully stronger than what we saw in the public market this week. In other words, the feedback from the private market and the public market was completely opposite. I want to reflect on this: we did not communicate and explain the strategy clearly enough to the public, and that information gap led to deeper concerns and even misunderstandings. I’ve seen comments such as: “Are you getting distracted again?” “Is FF no longer focused on vehicles?” or “Is something wrong with the vehicle business?”

The answer to each question is “no.” Our robotics business is an upgrade to our overall EAI strategy and our bridge strategy. It does not distract us from our vehicle business. Rather, we believe it can empower the vehicle business across multiple dimensions, including business execution, capital strategy, financial structure, product, and technology, among others.

Here comes a big teaser, on the same day of the robotics event, we achieved a milestone relating to the Super One. We will announce the full details after market close next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

We firmly believe that with the build-out of our Dual-Bridge, Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Public-Company ecosystem, and with EAI EV and EAI Robotics now both activated, FFAI has undergone a fundamental and systemic upgrade. We are highly confident that this year will be FF’s momentum-building year, and we are going all-in to position FF to take off next year. We firmly oppose any stock split and will be prudent with our equity issuances. We remain committed to putting stockholders first and will do everything we can to safeguard stockholder interests.

We believe that as our business executes, delivers, and makes tangible progress, the strategy will become clearer—and many investors will return to support us. We will do everything we can to create greater value for stockholders.

We will take four major initiatives to protect our stockholders:

1. I affirm once again: FF firmly opposes any reverse stock split, unless required to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. We remain fully committed to maintaining or timely regaining listing compliance as a public company and delivering value to stockholders, continuing to strengthen our response in the battle against malicious short selling, accelerating FF’s value return, and narrowing the gap between capital market valuation and intrinsic business value—while striving to create even greater breakthroughs. Under Nasdaq regulations, if the closing share price remains below $1 for more than 30 consecutive trading days, a deficiency notice is automatically triggered, and the Company is granted no less than 180 days to regain listing compliance. We firmly believe that our four key initiatives will enable the Company to continuously strengthen its operating fundamentals while maintaining more effective and transparent communication with our stockholders and retail investors, thereby ensuring that reducing the likelihood that the Company does not trigger any Nasdaq compliance issues.

2. From a mid to long-term perspective, the robotics business could serve as a new source of cash inflow and a new growth curve, enabling FFAI stockholders to capture long-term value from the next significant market opportunity, while also potentially providing greater financial flexibility and strategic support for the vehicle business.

3. At the business level, we are accelerating the mutual empowerment between our vehicle and robotics businesses under a “dual-engine EAI framework”. From our perspective, vehicles and robots have evolved into fundamentally similar products—both are EAI terminals. As a result, there’s significant overlap across R&D, sales, and service, allowing the two businesses to generate strong synergies.

The significant progress we have made at the NADA Show has further reinforced our confidence that this is a mutual empowerment rather than one business coming at the expense of the other. On February 5, we successfully hosted a dealer summit for FX Super One and FF EAI robotics. Dozens of automotive dealers from across the United States attended the event and expressed interest in FF’s proprietary FF Par sales model. Multiple dealers have already clearly expressed their intent to enter into comprehensive “robot & vehicle +” cooperation agreements. Notably, many U.S dealers, driven by strong interest in robotics collaboration, have further deepened their engagement with our vehicle business. This is a clear demonstration of how the robotics business can in turn empower the vehicle business, and we believe it serves as one of the strongest validations of our innovative model and differentiated products.

4. We will continue to enhance transparent communication with our stockholders and retail investors, helping the market better understand the unique advantages and intrinsic value of our strategy and business model. At the same time, if you become aware of any potentially illegal short-selling activity, we encourage you to reach out to us immediately.

FX Super One will roll out SOD Phase 1 in Q2. At the same time, our robotics business is set to start deliveries by the end of February, initially targeting high-frequency scenarios with the greatest potential for scale and market impact—such as dealership and showroom reception, as well as home security. The goal is to go deep, make it comprehensive, and establish benchmark use cases.

This year, we will remain fully committed to executing relentlessly on the homologation, initial production, and delivery of FX Super One, as well as sales and deliveries of our robotics products. We will remain focused on strengthening both our operating and capital fundamentals, while going all out to maximize value for our stockholders.”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Super Bowl lasted all of 13 minutes for many Puerto Ricans in San Juan and beyond.

People turned their backs to TV screens as food, music and chatter filled the first half of the game until a hush fell across the island. The halftime show was starting.

This was Puerto Rico’s moment, a spotlight on a collective son who quit bagging groceries a decade ago and became the world’s most streamed artist on Spotify last year. Since then, Bad Bunny has used his platform to applaud immigrants, sing about Puerto Rico’s identity and turmoil and denounce U.S. immigration policies.

“He appeared at the right moment in the history of Latin America,” said Marielys Rojas, 39, who is originally from Venezuela but has lived the last 22 years in Puerto Rico.

She was among the hundreds who gathered by a grassy knoll near a beach in Puerto Rico’s capital to watch the halftime show on a huge screen as waves crashed behind them and the sounds of coquís, an endemic frog, filled the salty air.

Amarilys Reyes, 55, arrived at the seaside watch party with her 22-year-old daughter.

She had never watched a Super Bowl and didn’t know who was playing, but it didn’t matter. Like many others, she was only there for Bad Bunny.

“It’s the biggest show of his life,” Reyes said.

Energy, nerves and excitement had been building across Puerto Rico ever since the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio would headline the Super Bowl XL Halftime Show.

Watch parties were quickly organized across the U.S. mainland and the island. Some dubbed it “Super Bori Sunday,” a shortened nod to “Boricua,” which refers to someone with Puerto Rican ancestry, while others referred to it “The Benito Bowl: Morcilla, Sancocho, Mofongo, Reggaetón and a little bit of Football.”

One woman wrote on social media that she would watch the halftime show with her 87-year-old mother in Puerto Rico so they could dance together, while another person posted that they had prepared a PowerPoint presentation for their American friends dubbed “Bad Bunny 101.”

Creativity flowed as Feb. 8 approached: One bar in Puerto Rico posted a promo featuring the quarterbacks from the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots sitting on the iconic white plastic lawn chairs that grace the cover of Bad Bunny’s newest album.

Even the Teletubbies got in on the excitement, shaking their colorful rumps to Bad Bunny ’s “Baile Inolvidable” a day before the show.

Wonder Woman also lent her support, with Lynda Carter noting on social media that she was a “huge fan” of Bad Bunny, whom she noted was an American citizen: “Make no mistake.”

But criticism of the first all-Spanish NFL halftime show spiked as the first half ended.

Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer who has property in Puerto Rico and has posted about life on the island, wrote on X: “Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”

Puerto Ricans quickly responded.

“Don’t you live where he’s from?” wrote one person while many others noted that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

Luke Lavanway, a 35-year-old who lives in New York but was vacationing in Puerto Rico to escape the ongoing cold snap, said he had no problem with a halftime show in Spanish.

“That’s part of us,” he said. “That’s what makes us great, and we should just enjoy it.”

The crowd that had gathered for the halftime show began streaming out of the watch party as soon as the second half started, smiling as they reflected on what they had just witnessed.

“I thought it was phenomenal that Bad Bunny brought all Latinos together in one place and represented them all equally,” said Carlos Ayala, 36, of San Juan. “It’s an important moment for Latino culture.”

He also thought it fantastic that Ricky Martin sang Bad Bunny’s, “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii,” which laments gentrification in Puerto Rico, a worsening issue for many on an island with a more than 40% poverty rate.

“Transmitting that message is extremely important in these times,” he said, adding that he also appreciated the light posts and exploding transformers featured during the show, a nod to Puerto Rico’s chronic outages “so the world can see what we live through.”

Among those beaming after the show was Juliana Santiago, 35, who said her heart swelled with pride on Sunday night.

She said Bad Bunny proved that “you can accomplish things, that the American dream truly is real.”
