Faraday Future Launches Priced Humanoid and Quadruped Robots, Targets February Deliveries

The embattled EV maker is betting firm pricing plus late‑February shipments will jump‑start adoption despite questions over real‑world utility.

Overview

  • The company introduced three lines at the NADA show in Las Vegas—FF Futurist and FF Master humanoids and the FX Aegis quadruped—with preorders and sales opening immediately.
  • Starting prices are $34,990 for Futurist, $19,990 for Master, and $2,499 for Aegis, with optional ecosystem skills packages priced at $5,000, $3,000, and $1,000 respectively.
  • The Futurist uses Nvidia Orin with on‑device compute up to roughly 200 TOPS and a multi‑sensor perception suite; Master is quoted up to 157 TOPS; Aegis tackles 40‑degree slopes and 13‑inch obstacles.
  • Faraday says first units are planned to ship by the end of February and claims more than 1,200 non‑binding deposits for the lineup.
  • Coverage highlights a three‑hour operating time with swappable batteries on the flagship robot and raises skepticism about usefulness, battery life, and ecosystem maturity at the announced price points.
