After Selling Just Over 15 Cars, Faraday Future Now Wants You to Buy Its Robots
Embattled EV maker Faraday Future, which sold only 15 to 16 vehicles, is pivoting to robotics, offering a humanoid, a quadruped, and a robotic arm.
Faraday Future, the electric car company that has faced financial turmoil and sold only 15 or 16 vehicles as of January 2025, is now marketing a lineup of robots. The company, which debuted its first production-ready EV at CES 2017, is pivoting to robotics as part of a turnaround strategy.
Its new offerings include a humanoid robot called Futurist priced at $89,900, a quadruped named Navi starting under $2,000, and an industrial robotic arm ("mobile manipulator product") with no public pricing. The Navi robot, designed to look like a dog, is targeted at children for learning embodied AI, while the 5'8" Futurist uses NVIDIA Sonic's full-body motion control system.
Faraday Future has a troubled history: dozens of lawsuits, internal strife, layoffs, and funding issues. Founder YT Jia returned as sole global CEO in May, and the company completed its first pre-production FX Super One MPV in December. Now, despite its rocky past, Faraday Future expects to ship over 100 robots in June and more than 220 units in the first half of the year, according to its latest press release.
