Exhibit 99.1
Faraday Future Announces Launch Event Date for
China-U.S. Automotive Bridge Strategy
| · | FF seeks to leverage its unique bridge value to integrate the strengths
of the U.S. automotive industry with those of Chinese OEMs and parts suppliers and their respective supply chains. |
Los Angeles, CA (Aug. 19, 2024) -- Faraday Future Intelligent
Electric Inc. (Nasdaq: FFIE) (“FF”, “Faraday Future”, or “Company”), a California-based global shared
intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that it will hold a launch event for its China-U.S. Automotive Bridge
Strategy on September 19, 2024. The event will provide more details and an execution plan for the strategy and introduction of FF’s
second automotive brand.
FF’s China-U.S. Automotive Bridge Strategy and second brand approach positions it to leverage
cutting-edge AI and software technologies for its users across multiple market segments, potentially accelerating FF’s mass-market
entry while maintaining its ultra-luxury offering. FF remains focused on executing its global strategy and bringing its unique vision
of intelligent electric mobility to a broader audience. The Bridge Strategy marks a return to a two-brand approach. As part of
its dual-home-market strategy, FF expects to leverage its unique bridge value to integrate the strengths of the U.S. automotive industry
with those of Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and parts suppliers and their respective supply chains, focusing on the
$20,000 to $80,000 price segment.
“Our Bridge Strategy could introduce a ‘performance capable
EV at a fraction of the price,’ by empowering a second brand with much of the core technologies used on the $300,000 FF 91,”
said Matthias Aydt, Global CEO of Faraday Future. “A mass-market second brand could make the ‘AI car of the future’
the AI car of the people”
The Company has engaged in discussions with several leading Chinese
OEMs and global suppliers, receiving positive feedback on how FF could help build a bridge between U.S. and Chinese automotive industries
through industrial coordination and collaboration. The platform would leverage FF’s expertise and capabilities in product, technology,
regulation processes, along with its manufacturing plant in Hanford, California.
ABOUT FARADAY FUTURE
Faraday Future is the pioneer of the Ultimate AI TechLuxury ultra spire
market in the intelligent EV era, and the disruptor of the traditional ultra-luxury car civilization epitomized by Ferrari and Maybach.
FF is not just an EV Company, but also a software-driven intelligent internet Company. Ultimately FF aims to become a User Company by
offering a shared intelligent mobility ecosystem. FF remains dedicated to advancing electric vehicle technology to meet the evolving needs
and preferences of users worldwide, driven by a pursuit of intelligent and AI-driven mobility.
