Faraday Future Cleared for Immediate US Sales of First AI Robotics Product

Faraday Future Cleared for Immediate US Sales of First AI Robotics Product

Los Angeles, Monday, 26 January 2026.
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (FFIE) has achieved a pivotal regulatory milestone, securing U.S. certification to commence immediate sales of its first Embodied AI (EAI) robotics product as of January 26, 2026. This development marks a significant strategic diversification for the company, extending its “EAI+Crypto” ecosystem beyond electric vehicles. Founder YT Jia confirmed that approvals for the remaining initial batch are imminent, with a commercial launch targeting the NADA Show in Las Vegas on February 4. Crucially, this operational pivot is underpinned by a notable shift in institutional sentiment; filings indicate that BlackRock increased its holding in Faraday Future by approximately 40% in the fourth quarter of 2025, now controlling 9.5 million shares. While FFIE aims to become the first U.S. company to deliver profitable humanoid robots, this aggressive expansion remains contingent on successfully navigating its complex financial landscape.
