25 Jun
Summary
- Faraday Future is now selling robots, including a $90K humanoid model.
- The company has faced significant financial and legal challenges.
- Robotics shipments are expected to surpass 220 units in the first six months of 2026.
Faraday Future, an electric vehicle company, has undergone a significant strategic shift, now marketing a diverse range of robots. This new direction includes humanoid, quadruped, and robotic arm models, signaling a departure from its troubled automotive past. The company's history has been marked by financial instability, numerous lawsuits, and internal conflicts, impacting its ability to deliver on previous promises.
Recent efforts include the completion of its FX Super One MPV van's pre-production model in December 2025. However, the focus has increasingly shifted towards robotics. The Navi quadruped, designed for AI learning, starts under $2,000, while the Futurist humanoid robot is priced at nearly $90,000. An industrial robotic arm, termed a "mobile manipulator product," is also available without public pricing.
Faraday Future expects to ship over 100 robotics units in June 2026. Total shipments for the first six months of 2026 are projected to exceed 220 units, a notable increase compared to its previous reported vehicle sales of 15 or 16 units in January 2026.
