Faraday Future has secured a $10 million investment from a third party identified as AIxC, a move that comes ahead of the company’s highly anticipated robotics launch. This funding, a pure equity financing with no market discount or convertible debt, is expected to close on or before February 13, pending shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares. AIxC has previously expressed interest in potentially tokenizing Faraday Future Class A common stock, subject to regulatory approval.
Robotics and Vehicle Production Advance
The California-based EV maker intends to allocate the funds to general corporate needs, including preliminary expenses related to the FX Super One and potentially for acquiring its new embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) robotics.What are Faraday Future’s plans for its new robotics division? The company will showcase its first three EAI robots and begin accepting paid pre-orders at a launch event on February 4th at the National Automobile Dealers association Show in Las Vegas, with a goal of delivering at least two models within the same month.
Beyond robotics, Faraday Future is also making strides in vehicle production. The first FX Super One vehicle has rolled off the assembly line at its Hanford plant, supporting ongoing compliance testing. The company reports completing 539 final assembly process control documents, with 65% of required training and validation activities finished. This week, two FX Super One vehicles were delivered to the company’s plant in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
AIxC’s interest in tokenizing Faraday Future stock could represent a novel approach to financing and ownership in the EV sector, though it remains subject to regulatory hurdles.
The company did not disclose further details about AIxC or the specifics of the stock purchase agreement beyond the stated terms.
