Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Company Has Received Over 10,000 Paid Pre-Orders for the FX Super One MPV as It Marks the 4th Anniversary of FFAI's Public Listing

Business Wire2 days ago
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 Co-CEO of FF.
'This week marks the 4th anniversary of FFAI's public listing. Over the past four years, we've weathered countless ups and downs, pushed through our darkest hours, and stood firm in the face of doubts and challenges—never giving up. Above all, we are most grateful to the investors, stockholders, and partners who have stood by us. Your support is the reason our dream has never dimmed.
As of the day of our July 17 Initial Product Launch of FX Super One, we have received over 10,000 paid pre-orders for this vehicle. Beyond the much-discussed Super EAI F.A.C.E., many people have asked me: what exactly are Super One's breakthroughs in product value for the U.S. market? To answer that, let's take a closer look at S2 and S3 Products & Technologies, where we've been carefully crafting.
We've distilled five big breakthroughs in product value—these are what we believe give Super One its truly disruptive and differentiated edge in the U.S. market.
First, it represents a whole new category—First Class EAI-MPV, addressing three key pain points for American users, including: Number one, traditional minivans may offer large interior space, but have poor power performance and safety, and offer no sense of luxury whatsoever. Number two, while the Escalade is luxurious, it's fundamentally constrained by its traditional, bulky SUV structure. This leads to a poor driving experience, inefficient use of space, and a compromised user experience overall. It's inconvenient to get in and out of and lacks the versatility for today's diverse lifestyles. Number three, let alone EAI capabilities, both of these vehicle types have almost zero AI capability and are stuck in a past era. We believe Super One is here to shatter old paradigms and deliver brand new value.
Second, it is a vehicle EAI agent and an avatar of its owner. It redefines the human-vehicle relationship, moving from passive control to a partnership of mutual understanding and shared experience. It feels what you feel and accompanies where you go.
Third, it delivers comprehensive intelligent active safety. Its high-strength steel body, electric AWD, and an AI risk prediction engine all work together to make every journey exceptionally safe and secure.
Fourth, AI luxury and ultimate comfort like a private clubhouse, it breaks boundaries and sets new gold standards for luxury and comfort.
Fifth, FF empowers the FX Super One with much of the core value of the $300,000 FF 91. With extreme price-to-performance ratio and running cost, it aims to bring accessible AI TechLuxury.
S5: On capital markets and finance:
After the July 17 launch, our Capital team organized a series of roadshows for investment institutions. We also had in-depth conversations with many investors online.
A lot of investors are especially interested in our latest Web3 strategic partnership with HabitTrade, a well-known digital asset infrastructure platform. Many are excited about how FF, together with the Web3 industry, can once again generate eco chemistry and lead the next major trend in the industry.
In fact, we've been researching and preparing in Web3 space for quite some time. We firmly believe that, with FF's unique AI and internet DNA, and by combining EAI mobility with Web3, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and stablecoin applications, we can create entirely new value for users and the industry. We're building a future where Web2 and Web3, on-chain and off-chain, the physical and virtual worlds, all come together. We look forward to sharing these exciting plans and updates with you soon.
Thank you to all our investors for your continued attention and support for FF and FX. We'll keep driving the company's growth with open and transparent communication.
Today we're starting with Government affairs updates in terms of S7 System and Capability Build-Up.
This week, we brought the FX Super One and FF 91 to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. There, we held high-level closed-door discussions with over a dozen U.S. Congress members and tariff policy makers. We talked about important topics such as reshoring U.S. manufacturing, technological innovation, and industry policies related to tariffs—efforts that support the implementation of the Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy. After experiencing both models in person, the Congress members were very impressed. We believe we will fill a key gap in the market, upgrading the American consumer experience, and helping accelerate the reshoring of manufacturing and the advancement of the entire industry chain.
But really, after the FX Super One's initial launch, this is only the beginning. The next crucial steps will be product delivery, a series of certification tests, and trial production. I'll be leading the team to give it our all in this new chapter—continuing our relentless execution.
In August, we'll also be taking the FX Super One to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the luxury car events. This fulfills the promise we made there last August, and we'll be sharing new outcomes from our bridge strategy. For us, attending Pebble Beach every year is not just about showcasing our products, it's about demonstrating our unwavering belief in making the impossible possible. We welcome friends and partners who are interested in joining us. See you next week.'

AI researcher ‘turns down $1bn pay offer from Mark Zuckerberg'

A tech worker has reportedly turned down a $1bn (£750m) pay deal to join Mark Zuckerberg's artificial intelligence (AI) unit amid an escalating war for talent in Silicon Valley. Mr Zuckerberg's Meta reportedly offered several researchers who work at Thinking Machines, a San Francisco-based AI start-up, packages worth hundreds of millions of dollars to join the social media giant. One of those packages would have been worth as much as $1bn over several years, according to a report from Wired, while some researchers were also offered between $200m and $500m over a four-year period. Most deals included an award worth $50m to $100m in the first year. So far, no staff at the start-up have taken up an offer from Meta. Last month, Thinking Machines raised $2bn at a $12bn valuation, despite having no product. A spokesman for Meta disputed the claims, although confirmed it had made a 'handful' of offers to staff at Thinking Machines. 'We made offers only to a handful of people at Thinking Machines and while there was one sizeable offer, the details are off,' the spokesman said. Thinking Machines was founded by 36-year-old Mira Murati, a former OpenAI executive who has become one of the powerful women in tech since launching the company. AI arms race The eye-watering pay offers come amid an AI arms race, with tech giants trying to tempt leading AI scientists and programmers to join their efforts over those of rivals. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI which owns ChatGPT, previously claimed Meta had offered his staff deals worth as much as $100m. Mr Zuckerberg has been personally leading a recruitment drive to attract leading scientists and developers to a new lab within Meta in a race against rivals to build highly powerful AI tools. The Meta chief executive has reportedly been reaching out to dozens of targets with personalised WhatsApp messages and bumper pay deals. Meta is spending tens of billions of dollars on AI data centres that will be used to help create more powerful machine-learning tools that Mr Zuckerberg has claimed could soon transform the economy and society. He has also already recruited around 50 leading researchers and experts for a new 'superintelligence' lab within Meta, after growing frustrated at the lack of progress by his own engineers. Earlier this year, Meta delayed a major update to its AI technology, dubbed Behemoth. Mr Zuckerberg also engineered a $14.3bn deal to poach Alexandr Wang, the founder of AI business Scale AI, to lead his new team, acquiring a 49pc stake in the start-up in the process.

What Does QUBT Actually Do -- and Is the Stock a Buy Right Now?

Key Points Quantum Computing aims to build photonic circuits, which leverage the quantum properties of light particles. The company has a lot of work to do to make an exciting story a reality. The stock's valuation may be challenging to accept at the moment. 10 stocks we like better than Quantum Computing › Companies are racing to develop quantum technology to power new and future applications, ensuring the progress of innovation over the coming decades. Someday, the quantum computing market could be worth hundreds of billions. Among them is Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), which, despite its name, differs from the other quantum computing stocks on the market. It's not a pure-play on quantum computers, but rather on light-based technology, which manipulates photons -- particles of light -- to achieve high computing performance. The company outlined a business path that, if successful, could be a game-changer. So, what does the company actually do, and should investors consider buying the stock right now? Here is what you need to know. What does Quantum Computing Inc. actually do? Quantum Computing Inc. (QCI) is developing photonic technology that leverages light and its quantum mechanical properties for high-performance computing applications, including quantum computing, machine learning, cybersecurity, and others. The company states that photonic technology is capable of high bandwidth and fast processing while consuming low amounts of energy, and can operate in room-temperature environments. That could make it more practical and affordable than some traditional quantum computers, which often require low temperatures or lab-controlled environments. QCI's long-term goal is to become an Nvidia of sorts, selling chips integrated with photonic circuits for various real-world applications. Most of today's chips are made from silicon. QCI is building with thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). The company recently established a foundry to produce the TFLN components for its quantum machines. Eventually, it aims to refine the technology and miniaturize it to the size of an Nvidia GPU. The business is far more potential than tangible results, at least for now Now might be a good place to pump the brakes a bit, as Quantum Computing Inc. is an extremely early-stage company. QCI recently completed construction of its foundry and has received only five orders as of the first quarter of 2025. The company offers hardware products and software services, but QCI's current customer base is primarily limited to government and academic researchers. As a result, the business has generated about $385,000 in total revenue over the past year. Yes, that's less than half a million dollars. There is no quick ramp-up looming, either. Wall Street analysts expect Quantum Computing Inc. to finish 2025 with $600,000 in revenue and just $2.9 million the following year. Research by Mordor Intelligence estimates the addressable market for photonic integrated circuits was $15.4 billion in 2024 and projects it will grow to $38.4 billion by 2029. Given QCI's virtually non-existent revenue, it's clear that the company is not yet ready to capitalize on the opportunity. Meanwhile, QCI has numerous competitors in the space, including Cisco Systems, International Business Machines, and Marvell Technology. Is the stock a buy now? Putting all of this together It may take at least a few more years to gain a clear understanding of Quantum Computing Inc.'s position in the Photonic Integrated Circuit industry or the broader quantum computing market. That means investors who buy the stock today are taking a massive leap of faith in the company. Such limited revenue makes the stock's current $2.6 billion market cap, roughly 90 times next year's revenue estimate, tough to stomach. It leaves investors at risk of severe losses if something happens to the company that sours the market's sentiment. Quantum Computing Inc. may be trying to replicate Nvidia's business, but its limited revenue suggests it's lagging in the Photonic Integrated Circuit field, rather than leading it. Consider allowing Quantum Computing Inc. to prove itself, establish a larger revenue base, and then reevaluate the stock's investment potential. It's just not there yet.

Should You Buy Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Before Aug. 27? Here's What History Says.

Key Points AI developments have boosted Nvidia's valuation, making it the world's most valuable public company. There is no direct correlation between an earnings beat or miss and Nvidia's immediate stock performance. But the high valuation of Nvidia's shares could leave it extra volatile, regardless of its reported results. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) into the mainstream, driven by the popularity of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, numerous tech companies -- as well as those from any industry that utilizes AI -- have seen their valuations skyrocket. No stock has benefited more from recent AI developments than Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), which is up over 900% in just the past three years and is the world's most valuable public company with a market capitalization of over $4.2 trillion. For perspective, the is "only" up around 60% in that span. On Aug. 27, Nvidia is set to report its fiscal second-quarter earnings. Only time will tell what those earnings reveal, but it's natural for investors to wonder if they should buy Nvidia's stock before the earnings to potentially take advantage of a post-earnings stock price boost. In theory, it sounds like a smart move if you anticipate good results; however, history has shown that this doesn't always work out in investors' favor, regardless of the earnings results. No correlation between earnings and stock performance The first thing to notice in the above chart is that there's no consistency between Nvidia's earnings and the immediate performance of its stock price. Below is how Nvidia's stock price has performed the day after its past four earnings reports: Reporting Date Beat Earnings Per Share Expectations? Next-Day Stock Performance May 2025 No (2.9%) February 2025 Yes (8.5%) November 2024 Yes 0.5% August 2024 Yes (6.4%) Data source: AlphaQuery and YCharts. Even after beating earnings expectations, Nvidia's stock has experienced noticeable declines on the next day. This shows that investors aren't solely concerned about over- or underperformance. They may also be looking at factors like future guidance, valuations, and overall market sentiment. Correlation (or lack thereof) aside, one thing to keep in mind is that trying to time the market is a recipe for disappointment and can often be counterproductive. Even if it seems like a stock's price should move in a certain direction because of results, the stock market doesn't operate on logical cause and effect. Nvidia's high valuation leaves little room for error Nvidia's trailing-12-month price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 29 is the highest you'll find in an S&P 500 stock and 10 times the S&P 500 average. This ultra-high valuation leaves Nvidia with little room for error -- or what investors may perceive as error -- and can increase volatility. If you like Nvidia as a company, a smart strategy would be to dollar-cost average. This will allow you to slowly but surely accumulate shares and offset some of the volatility risks. Nvidia's stock has shown long-term growth despite short-term drops, and that's what investors should focus on the most and bank on. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
