Los Angeles, Feb 14 — 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 encouraging progress following the conclusion of the Company’s recent FF Partner (Par) Summit, held in Las Vegas on February 5, 2026.
The Par summit marked the formal introduction and strategic positioning of the Company’s FF Par model positioned as a next-generation Co-Creation User Ecosystem—designed as a hybrid sales and user-operation platform rather than a traditional dealership framework.
The private summit occurred in conjunction with the Company’s unveiling of its new robotics strategy, which ran in parallel with the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to the three humanoid and bionic robotic entries revealed at the show, the Company also unveiled the “Three-in-One” FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Strategy, Technology and Product, which includes three core components: EAI Device, EAI Brain & Open-Source Open Platform, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory.
Company leadership including Chris Chen, Global Head of User Ecosystem and Co-CEO of FF AI-Robotics, Iris Deng, Senior Director of Sales and Network Management, and Scott Wang, Senior Director of B2B Sales, as well as representatives from the aftersales, product delivery, and automotive finance teams, attended the event. Iris Deng and Scott Wang introduced the FF Par model to approximately 75 guests in attendance.
Summit Indicates Strong Dealer Response and Early Interest
The presentation received highly positive feedback, and follow-up discussions are currently progressing. Key themes from dealer discussions included:
Strong resonance with the long-term, partnership-oriented mindset, particularly around shared growth and aligned incentives.
Positive feedback on the flexibility of the model, especially its ability to support both automotive and AI robotics products under one ecosystem.
Recognition of FF Par as a model that balances innovation with operational discipline, addressing common dealer concerns around CAPEX, inventory risk, and margin compression.
Several leading U.S. dealerships, including top-tier luxury dealerships, which have strong operational track records, customer service excellence, and strategic maturity, expressed interest in the Company.
“The FF Par Summit was a great success for us in Las Vegas last week, and it represents a significant milestone in the Company’s U.S. dealer channel strategy,” said Max Ma, CEO of Faraday X. “By securing early indications of interest from high-quality dealer partners and establishing a differentiated hybrid ecosystem model, the Company has laid a solid foundation for a scalable rollout and deeper collaboration in 2026 and beyond.”
Differentiated, Asset-Light Hybrid Model
The Company’s FF Par model is structured to combine centralized digital commerce with localized partner-operated experience centers, creating a scalable and capital-efficient expansion path.
Key structural features include:
The hybrid, asset-light structure combines online transactions with localized partner-operated experience centers.
Zero wholesale / low inventory risk, eliminating floorplan pressure for partners.
Unified national pricing via centralized digital checkout, avoiding intra-brand price competition.
Sustainable revenue model built on vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent device ecosystem operations. Partners share value across the entire product lifecycle—assuming traditional risks such as high inventory pressure, elevated operating costs, or pricing volatility.
The model was widely received as a forward-looking alternative to conventional dealership structures, particularly amid industry concerns around capital intensity, inventory risk, and margin compression.
Next Steps: Structured Execution and Pilot Rollout
Following the summit, the Company is moving into a structured execution phase. FF will continue aligning with signed and prospective partners on scope, territory planning, and phased rollout strategy, while advancing pilot programs in priority U.S. markets including California, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Texas, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. Pilot timelines will be coordinated with key milestones for the FX Super One and EAI Robotics launches.
At the same time, FF will maintain ongoing engagement with interested potential partners regarding program structure and incentive mechanics, while preparing the next iteration of FF Par agreements and a tiered partner framework to support scalable expansion.
