Exhibit 99.1
Faraday Future Launches Survey to Solicit Opinions on Ticker Symbol Change from FFIE to FFAI
Los Angeles, CA (May 23, 2023) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq: FFIE) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that it is seeking public opinion through an online survey on changing FF’s stock ticker from “FFIE” to “FFAI.”
On May 2nd of this year, FF announced its Generative AI Product Stack to the public. The product stack combines FF’s foundational capabilities such as the Company’s computing platform, advanced operating system, ultra-fast internet connectivity, AI and natural language processing abilities, multiple displays, with generative AI capability designed to give extraordinary abilities to users. FF is one of the first automotive manufacturers to integrate and demonstrate generative AI capabilities in a vehicle.
Vehicle I.A.I (Internet, Autonomous Driving, Intelligence) and artificial intelligence research and development have always been FF’s core strategic focus. Today, these research and development achievements have become core highlights of the Company’s flagship FF 91. The Company intends to announce more details regarding its AI strategy at its FF 91 Final Launch & Faraday Future 2.0 event, set to occur on May 30th.
The “FFAI” ticker was the Company’s first choice when FF went public in 2021 on Nasdaq, but it was not available then. The Company recently learned that “FFAI” has become available again and management feels this name more accurately aligns with the core vision for the Company. Co-creation and sharing have always been the core principles upheld by FF, therefore the Company would like to solicit opinions from all stakeholders, enthusiasts, and other interested parties on whether to change the stock ticker to FFAI.
If you would like to express your opinion on this matter, please fill out the survey in the following link:

We will consolidate all opinions and submit proposed recommendations to the board of directors for their reference before making the final decision.
As intelligent electric vehicles become super robots, the driving experience and digital cockpit will be fully intelligent. FF believes AI will become the core competitiveness of the future mobility ecology and redefine the usage scenarios of future mobility products. As one of the world’s first intelligent electric vehicle manufacturers, FF has been committed to the research and development of AI technology platforms, applied to autonomous driving platforms and the third intelligent internet space.
