Insights

Strategic Partnerships & Commercial Affairs Expert

Ceremony confirms a marketing partnership and a deposit arrangement for 1,000 FX units; commercial impact is modest but visible.

Faraday Future held a delivery ceremony on October 8, 2025 for an FF 91 2.0 owner and disclosed a deposit agreement with Pinnacle Real Estate Group that includes a non‑refundable deposit and non‑binding reservations for 1,000 units of the FX Super One. Pinnacle operates three branches with more than 1,000 agents and Pinnacle and Calvin Gong are paid co‑creation partners, which anchors the announcement in explicit commercial terms rather than pure marketing rhetoric.

The business mechanism links vehicle reservations and user co‑creation to Pinnacle’s real estate reach; this could drive lead flow and brand exposure but does not guarantee revenue recognition because the reservations are non‑binding and the deposit terms are not quantified. Key dependencies and risks include conversion of reservations into firm orders, collectability and size of the deposits, and the timing of deliveries; none of those specifics were disclosed. Watch for concrete milestones such as deposit amounts, firm purchase contracts, and scheduled delivery windows in the next 3–12 months to assess material commercial impact.

FF and FX look forward to creating meta-chemistry between real estate, automotive, and crypto together with industry leaders like Pinnacle
