Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation	1. Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business and Organization Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (“Company” or “FF”), a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 11, 2020, conducts its operations through the subsidiaries of FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. (“Legacy FF”), founded in 2014 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. On July 21, 2021 ( “Closing”), the Company consummated a business combination pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 27, 2021, by and among Property Solutions Acquisition Corp (“PSAC”). and Legacy FF (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to which the Company received gross proceeds of $229,583 from the PSAC trust account. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PSAC changed its name from “Property Solutions Acquisition Corp.” to “Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.” Concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into separate agreements with a number of investors (“PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, on the Closing, the PIPE Investors purchased, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 76,140,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10 per share with an aggregate purchase price of $761,400 (“PIPE Financing”). Shares sold and issued in the PIPE Financing included registration rights. The Company operates in a single operating segment and designs and engineers next-generation, intelligent, electric vehicles. The Company expects to manufacture vehicles at its ieFactory California production facility in Hanford, California and has additional engineering, sales, and operations capabilities in China. The Company has created innovations in technology, products, and a user-centered business model that are being incorporated into its planned electric vehicle platform. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Company consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, including the accounts of any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2022 (“Form 10-K”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, has been derived from the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, its results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those disclosed in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Form 10-K, except as described below. Reclassification The Company reclassified certain amounts in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the: (i) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (ii) valuation of equity securities; (iii) recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves; (iv) fair value of related party notes payable, notes payable and warrants liabilities; (v) estimated useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees; (vii) fair value of warrants, and (viii) incremental borrowing rate used to measure operating lease liabilities. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and financial models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates. As of the date the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. While the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 on its estimates and assumptions, due to the level of uncertainty regarding the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, there may be other judgments and assumptions that the Company has not considered. Such judgments and assumptions could result in a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Income Tax The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0 and $9 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $0 and $3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The difference in the Company’s effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate of 21% is due to the ratio of domestic and international loss before taxes. The Company records a full valuation allowance to reflect limited benefits for income taxes in jurisdictions that historically reported losses and a provision for income taxes in jurisdictions that are profitable. The income tax provision for each period was the combined calculated tax expenses/benefits for various jurisdictions. The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, California and China. The Company’s income tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is not under any tax audits on its income tax returns. All of the Company’s prior year tax returns, from 2016 through 2021, are open under Chinese tax law. The Company did not accrue any interest or penalties related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022, as the uncertain tax benefits only reduced the net operating losses. The Company does not expect the uncertain tax benefits to have material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within the next twelve months. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements Leases In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options Derivatives and Hedging In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments	1. Nature of Business and Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business and Organization Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company” or “FF”), formerly known as Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (“PSAC”), a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 11, 2020, conducts its operations through the subsidiaries of FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. (“Legacy FF”), founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Legacy FF had previously changed its name from Smart King Ltd. to FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. on February 14, 2020. On July 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated a business combination pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 27, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, PSAC Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned subsidiary of PSAC (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy FF. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FF, with Legacy FF surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), PSAC changed its name from “Property Solutions Acquisition Corp.” to “Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.” For more information regarding the Business Combination, see Note 3, Business Combination The Company operates in a single operating segment and designs and engineers next-generation, intelligent, connected, electric vehicles. The Company expects to manufacture vehicles at its production facility in Hanford, California and has additional engineering, sales, and operations capabilities in China. The Company has created innovations in technology, products, and a user-centered business model that are being incorporated into its planned electric vehicle platform. The Company intends to commercially launch the FF 91 series in the third quarter of 2022. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Foreign Currency The Company determines the functional and reporting currency of each of its international subsidiaries based on the primary currency in which they operate. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in China is their local currency, Chinese Yuan (“CYN”). For foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is their local currency, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity (deficit) is translated at the applicable historical exchange rate, and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. The effect of exchange rate changes resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiary financial statements is accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and currency translation adjustments have been immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the: (i) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (ii) valuation of equity securities; (iii) recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves; (iv) fair value of related party notes payable and notes payable; (v) estimated useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees; and (vii) fair value of warrants. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and financial models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances. Given the global economic climate, unpredictable nature and unknown duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, estimates are subject to additional volatility. As of the date the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. While the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 on its estimates and assumptions, due to the level of uncertainty regarding the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, there may be other judgments and assumptions that the Company has not considered. Such judgments and assumptions could result in a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement The accounting guidance for fair value measurement requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds. Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 instruments typically include U.S. government and agency debt securities, and corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained through market data of the investment itself as well as market transactions involving comparable assets, liabilities or funds. Level 3 Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial or nonfinancial asset or liability. ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments Concentration of Risk Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, restricted cash, notes receivables, and deposits. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and restricted cash is held at financial institutions located in the United States of America and in the People’s Republic of China. The Company maintains its cash and restricted cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash and restricted cash account balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits ($250 per depositor per institution) and China Deposit Insurance Regulations limits (CNY 500 per depositor per institution). Management believes the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and restricted cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and restricted cash. Cash and restricted cash held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries is subject to foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. Dollar. If, however, the U.S. Dollar is devalued significantly against the Chinese Yuan, the Company’s cost to develop its business in China could exceed original estimates. The Company has notes receivable of $0 and $40 and deposits of $63,370 and $6,412 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company receives certain components from sole suppliers. The inability of a supplier to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements could materially impact future operating results. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the assets lives, are charged to operating expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and for leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter. Useful Life Buildings 39 Building improvements 15 Computer hardware 5 Tooling, machinery, and equipment 5 to 10 Vehicles 5 Computer software 3 Leasehold improvements Shorter of 15 years or Construction in progress (“CIP”) consists of the construction activities related to the Company’s Hanford, California plant and tooling, machinery and equipment being built to serve the manufacturing of production vehicles. These assets are capitalized and depreciated once put into service. The amounts capitalized in CIP that are held at vendor sites relate to the completed portion of work-in-progress of tooling, machinery and equipment built based on the Company’s specific needs. The Company may incur storage fees or interest fees related to CIP which are expensed as incurred. Construction in progress is presented within Property and Equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an assets (or asset groups) may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets, including any cash flows upon their eventual disposition, to the assets carrying values. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are written down to their fair value. Assets classified as held for sale are also assessed for impairment and such amounts are determined at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell the asset. No Property and Equipment, Net Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders. Elements of the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) and consists of equity-related foreign currency translation adjustments, which are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Research and Development Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees focused on R&D activities, other related costs, license fees, and depreciation and amortization. The Company’s R&D efforts are focused on design and development of the Company’s electric vehicles and continuing to prepare the Company’s prototype electric vehicle to achieve industry standards. Advanced payments for items and services related to R&D activities have been classified as Deposits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included in operating activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company expenses deposits as the services are provided and prototype parts are received. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees focused on sales and marketing, and direct costs associated with sales and marketing activities. Marketing activities include expenses to introduce the brand and the FF 91 to the market. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options granted to employees, directors and non-employees for the purchase of common stock. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation . The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For options with service conditions, the value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. For performance-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the expected performance achievement period of individual performance milestones when the achievement of each individual performance milestone becomes probable. Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and judgments, including, but not limited to the following: Expected term Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Dividend yield Forfeiture rate Fair value of common stock “Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation” Income Taxes The Company accounts for its income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the basis used for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided based on the enacted tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize those tax assets through future operations. The carrying value of deferred tax assets reflects an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets because the Company expects it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company utilizes the guidance in ASC 740-10, Income Taxes The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. Substantially all of the Company’s consolidated operating activities, including its long-lived assets, are located within the United States of America. Given the Company’s pre-revenue operating stage, it currently has no concentration exposure to products, services or customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources [Abstract]
Liquidity and Capital Resources	2. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Based on its recurring losses from operations since inception and continued cash outflows from operating activities (all as described below), the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. The timing of first deliveries of FF 91 vehicles is uncertain and is not expected to occur in 2022 and remains subject to various conditions, many of which are outside of FF’s control, including the timing, size, and availability of additional financing as well as the implementation and effectiveness of FF’s headcount reductions and other expense reduction and payment delay measures. It is also subject to suppliers meeting their commitments on program deliverables including parts, and timely and successful certification testing. FF is seeking to raise additional capital from various fundraising efforts currently underway to supplement its cash on hand of $31,766 as of September 30, 2022. The Company has taken steps to preserve its cash position, including reducing spending, extending payment cycles and other similar measures. As part of its funding efforts, on November 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, which provides the Company the sole right, but not the obligation, to direct Yorkville from time to time to purchase up to $200,000 (“Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock during the commitment period ending November 11, 2025, at a 3% discount of the VWAP (as defined below) of the shares during the three preceding days of each issuance. The Company has the option to increase the Commitment Amount to up to $350,000 during the commitment period. The Company agreed to issue 789,016 shares of Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of the commitment fee agreed upon in the SEPA. As of the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement were issued, the Company did not direct Yorkville to buy any shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued under the SEPA (including the 789,016 commitment shares). The Company shall not have the ability to draw funds until the effectiveness of such registration statement and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Any purchase would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville shall not purchase any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Class A Common Stock or any shares that would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock of the Company outstanding on the date of the SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval was obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including where the average price of all shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $0.62 per share. Further, and as more fully described in Note 9, Notes Payable, Notes Payable Stockholders’ Equity Despite the access to liquidity resulting from the SEPA when, and if, it shall become effective, the Warrant Reserve and the unfunded commitments from the SPA, the Company projects that it may require additional funds during the remainder of 2022 and will require additional funds beyond 2022 in order to continue operations and support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 to generate revenues to put the Company on a path to cash flow break-even. Incremental capital needs beyond 2022 to fund development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 and the Company’s ability to accurately estimate and control costs. Since its formation, the Company has devoted substantial effort and capital resources to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of its electric vehicle platform, development of initial electric vehicle models, and capital raising. Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit of $3,322,685 as of September 30, 2022. After the closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing on July 21, 2021, the Company received gross proceeds aggregating $990,983 which it used to settle certain liabilities and the remainder of which management has used to finance the ongoing operations of the business. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through the net proceeds received from capital contributions, the issuance of related party notes payable and notes payable (see Note 8, Related Party Notes Payable Notes Payable Stockholders’ Equity Business Combination The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs will depend on the extent to which the Company’s actual costs vary from the Company’s estimates and the Company’s ability to control these costs, as well as the Company’s ability to raise additional funds. The timely achievement of the Company’s operating plan as well as its ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity are subject to various risks associated with the Company’s ability to continue to successfully close additional sources of funding, control and effectively manage its costs, as well as factors outside of the Company’s control, including those related to global supply chain disruptions, the rising prices of materials, potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and general macroeconomic conditions. The Company’s forecasts and projections of working capital reflect significant judgment and estimates for which there are inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company expects to continue to generate significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The plans are dependent on the Company being able to continue to raise significant amounts of capital through the issuance of additional notes payable and equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s future funding raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company will be required to reduce discretionary spending, alter or scale back vehicle development programs, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures. Any such events would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in default on a related party note payable with a principal amount of $8,451. In January 2022, the Company defaulted on the Optional Notes (see Note 9, Notes Payable The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.	2. Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Based on its recurring losses from operations since inception and continued cash outflows from operating activities (all as described below), the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one The Company’s business plan contemplates that it will launch the FF 91 for delivery to customers beginning in Q3 2022, with testing, validation, and certification complete in Q3 2022. Since its formation, the Company has devoted substantial effort and capital resources to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of its electric vehicle platform, development of initial electric vehicle models, and capital raising. Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit of $2,907,644 as of December 31, 2021. After the closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing on July 21, 2021, the Company received gross proceeds aggregating $990,983, which it used to pay $84,278 in transaction costs and $139,557 to settle certain liabilities. The Company expects to use the remaining net proceeds of $767,148 to finance the ongoing operations of the business. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through the net proceeds received from capital contributions, the issuance of related party notes payable and notes payable (see Note 9, Related Party Notes Payable Notes Payable Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) Business Combination . The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs will depend on the extent to which the Company’s actual costs vary from the Company’s estimates and the Company’s ability to control these costs, as well as the Company’s ability to raise additional funds. The Company is exploring various funding and financing alternatives to fund its ongoing operations, including equipment leasing, construction financing of the Hanford, California manufacturing facility, secured syndicated debt financing, convertible notes, working capital loans, and equity offerings, among other options. The particular funding mechanisms, terms, timing, and amounts are dependent on the Company’s assessment of opportunities available in the marketplace and the circumstances of the business at the relevant time. The timely achievement of the Company’s operating plan as well as its ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity are subject to various risks associated with the Company’s ability to continue to successfully close additional sources of funding, control and effectively manage its costs, as well as factors outside of the Company’s control, including those related to global supply chain disruptions, the rising prices of materials and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to the section titled, “ Risk Factors The Company expects to continue to generate significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The plans are dependent on the Company being able to continue to raise significant amounts of capital through the issuance of additional notes payable and equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s future funding raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company will be required to reduce discretionary spending, alter or scale back vehicle development programs, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures. Any such events would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in default on a related party note payable with a principal amount of $9,411. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in January 2022, the Company defaulted on the Optional Notes (see Note 10, Notes Payable The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. COVID-19 Pandemic The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on March 11, 2020, with respect to the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic. There are many uncertainties regarding the current global COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including the impact on its employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. For example, the Company’s employees based in California have been subject to stay-at-home orders from state and local governments. While the stay-at-home orders were lifted on June 15, 2021, the Company continues to operate under various return-to-work protocols and must continue to follow certain safety and COVID-19 protocols. These measures may adversely impact the Company’s employees and operations and the operations of suppliers and business partners and could negatively impact the construction schedule of the Company’s manufacturing facility and the production schedule of the FF 91 electric vehicle. In addition, various aspects of the Company’s business and manufacturing facility cannot be conducted remotely. The extent of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution, and effectiveness of vaccines; the imposition of protective public safety measures; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy, including the Company’s supply chain, and on the demand for consumer products. Future measures taken by government authorities in response the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the Company’s construction and manufacturing plans, sales and marketing activities, and business operations. On July 21, 2021, the Company consummated the Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FF, with Legacy FF surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. to Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination	3. Business Combination On July 21, 2021, the Company consummated the Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FF, with Legacy FF surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the registrant changed its name from Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. to Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Commitment to Issue Class A and Class B Common Stock As part of the closing of the Business Combination, former stockholders and noteholders of Legacy FF are required to submit a signed Company share letter of transmittal or converting debt letter of transmittal along with a lockup agreement to the Company’s transfer agent in order for shares of the Company to be issued in their name in exchange for their shares in, notes from, vendor trust or other supplier agreements with, Legacy FF. Until the holder of the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is issued shares, that holder does not have any of the rights of a stockholder. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 20,264,715 and 89,152,131 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, and 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock in full satisfaction of its commitment to issue Class A and Class B Common Stock. The Company determined that the commitment to issue shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock is indexed to the Company’s own equity, within the meaning in ASC 815-10-15-74 and met the scope exception to not be subject to derivative accounting under ASC 815-40-25. As such, the Company classified the commitment to issue shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock in equity. For purposes of presentation of shares outstanding in the Company’s financial statements, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Commitment to Issue Class A Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) present legally issued and outstanding shares. For purposes of presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, the Company includes shares to be issued in the denominator in accordance with ASC 710-10-54-4 and ASC 260-10-45-48 as if they had been issued on the date of the merger, as such shares are non-contingent and are issuable for no consideration.	3. Business Combination On the Closing Date, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, all issued and outstanding Legacy FF Ordinary Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock were cancelled and converted into the holder’s right to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the exchange ratio of 0.14130 (“Exchange Ratio”). Gross proceeds from the PSAC trust account were $229,583, out of which the Company received $206,435 in cash, after netting PSAC’s transaction costs related to the Business Combination, and redemptions of $206. Each non-redeemed outstanding share of Common Stock of PSAC was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company. The shares of Legacy FF held by Legacy FF shareholders were converted into the right to receive 127,949,403 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and 64,000,588 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock. The conversion of the right to receive shares in the Company into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock is subject to the shareholders executing and delivering certain customary documents to the Company’s transfer agent (see Note 13, Stockholders Equity (Deficit) Commitment to Issue Class A and Class B Common Stock As part of the Closing of the Business Combination, former stockholders and noteholders of Legacy FF are required to submit a signed Company share letter of transmittal or converting debt letter of transmittal along with a lock-up agreement to the Company’s transfer agent in order for shares of the Company to be issued in their name in exchange for their shares in, notes from, vendor trust or other supplier agreements with, Legacy FF. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s transfer agent issued 167,280,677 legally outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock out of 320,433,395 shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock the Company is obligated to issue as part of the Business Combination, including the conversion of certain notes payable, related party notes payable and Vendor Trust obligations which the Company determined were legally settled upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the agreements executed with those parties. Until the holder of the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock is issued shares, that holder does not have any of the rights of a stockholder. The Company determined that the obligation to issue shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock is indexed to the Company’s own equity, within the meaning in ASC 815-10-15-74 and met the scope exception to not be subject to derivative accounting under ASC 815-40-25. As such, the Company classified the obligation to issue shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock in equity. For purposes of presentation of shares outstanding in the Company’s financial statements, the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) present legally issued and outstanding shares. For purposes of presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, the Company includes shares to be issued in the denominator in accordance with ASC 710-10-54-4 and ASC 260-10-45-48 as if they had been issued on the date of the merger, as such shares are non-contingent and are issuable for no consideration. Earnout Shares Legacy FF shareholders, as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination until its fifth anniversary, are entitled to contingent consideration of up to 25,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate in two equal tranches upon the occurrence of each earnout triggering event (“Earnout Shares”). The earnout triggering events and related Earnout Shares as defined in the Merger Agreement are: ● The minimum earnout of 12,500,000 additional shares is triggered if the Class A Common Stock volume weighted average price (“VWAP”), as defined in the Merger Agreement, is greater than $13.50 per share for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days (“Minimum Target Shares”); ● The maximum earnout of an additional 12,500,000 additional shares is triggered if the Class A Common Stock VWAP is greater than $15.50 per share for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, plus the Minimum Target Shares, if not previously issued. The Company recognized the Earnout Shares at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and classified them in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) since the Earnout Shares were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the requirements for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815-40. The Company treated the issuance of the Earnout Shares as a deemed dividend as the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Since it had a deficit of retained earnings, the Company recorded the issuance of the Earnout Shares in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), where it had a net-nil impact on the APIC balance. The Company determined that the fair value of the Earnout Shares at the Closing Date was $293,853 based on a valuation using a Monte Carlo simulation with key inputs and assumptions such as stock price, term, dividend yield, risk-free rate, and volatility. Public and Private Warrants In connection with the Business Combination, the Company assumed 22,977,568 public warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 594,551 private warrants (“Private Warrants”) previously issued by PSAC, each with an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Warrants and the Private Warrants are exercisable into Class A Common Stock within a period of five Reverse Recapitalization While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination was PSAC, for accounting and financial reporting purposes under GAAP, Legacy FF was determined to be the accounting acquirer and the Business Combination was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” based on the facts and circumstances, including the following: ● Legacy FF’s former shareholders hold a majority ownership interest in the combined company; ● Legacy FF’s existing senior management team comprise senior management of the combined company; ● Legacy FF is the larger of the companies based on historical operating activity and employee base; and ● Legacy FF’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company. A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Legacy FF. Under this method of accounting, PSAC was treated as the “acquired” entity. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Legacy FF became the historical financial statements of the Company, and PSAC’s assets and liabilities were consolidated with Legacy FF’s on July 21, 2021. Operations of Legacy FF prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of the Company in future reports. The net assets of PSAC, as well as assumed transaction costs related to the Business Combination, were recognized at their carrying value immediately prior to the Closing Date with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded and were as follows, net of transaction costs: PSAC Cash in the PSAC trust account at the Closing of the Business Combination $ 229,583 Other current assets 36 Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities (225 ) Accrued transaction costs (5,108 ) PSAC transaction costs assumed as part of the Business Combination (18,040 ) Related party notes payable (1,080 ) Private Warrants liability (2,152 ) Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock assumed as part of the Business Combination (32,900 ) Net assets acquired $ 170,114 Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, all of the issued and outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Stock held by FF Top Holding LLC (“FF Top”) converted into Legacy FF Class B Ordinary Stock at a ratio of 1:1. Upon the consummation of the merger, these shares were cancelled and converted into the holder’s right to receive 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock using the Exchange Ratio. Similarly, immediately prior to the Closing, all other outstanding shares of Legacy FF converted into Legacy FF Class A Ordinary Stock at a ratio of 1:1. Upon the consummation of the merger, these shares were cancelled and converted into the holder’s right to receive 127,949,403 shares of Class A Common Stock using the Exchange Ratio. Each of the Company’s options that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination remained outstanding and converted into the right to purchase Class A Common Stock equal to the number of original Legacy FF’s Ordinary Stock, subject to such options, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price per share equal to the current exercise price per share for such option divided by the Exchange Ratio for aggregate outstanding options of 42,193,512 under the EI Plan and the STI Plan (defined under Note 14, Stock-Based Compensation Notes Payable PIPE Financing Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into separate Subscription Agreements with a number of investors (“PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, on the Closing Date, the PIPE Investors purchased, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 76,140,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share with an aggregate purchase price of $761,400 (“PIPE Financing”). Shares sold and issued in the PIPE Financing included registration rights. The closing of the Private Placement occurred immediately prior to the Closing Date. Settlement of Liabilities and Commitment to Issue Shares In conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company paid $139,557 in cash and committed to issue 24,464,994 shares of Class A Common Stock at a value of $10.00 per share to settle liabilities of the Company and to compensate current and former employees, including: (i) notes payable principal amounts of $85,202 and accrued interest of $7,436; (ii) related party notes payable principal amounts of $91,420 and accrued interest of $13,581; (iii) interests in the Vendor Trust of $124,671, including payables of $102,950 and purchase orders in the amount of $8,380 related to goods and services yet to be received, and accrued interest thereon of $13,341; (iv) $19,791 of amounts due to vendors; and (v) $9,592 to current and former employees as a bonus. In addition, the Company issued 1,350,970 restricted stock awards, net of forfeitures, to current employees as a bonus (see Note 14, Stock-Based Compensation).

Tooling, machinery, and equipment are either held at Company facilities, primarily the Hanford plant, or at the vendor’s location until the tooling, machinery and equipment is completed. Of the $275,048 and $251,633 of CIP, $43,496 and $42,734 is held at Company facilities and $231,552 and $208,899 is held at vendor locations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $8,158 and $3,517 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On February 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) for the Company’s headquarters (“HQ”) with Atlas Capital Investors V, LP (“Atlas”) for a sale price of $29,000. In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to lease its headquarters back from Atlas for a term of three years, with an option to repurchase the property at any time prior to the expiration of the lease for a purchase price equal to the greater of $44,029 or the fair market value of the HQ, as determined in accordance with the lease agreement. Due to the inclusion of the purchase option in the lease agreement, the Company was considered to have continuing involvement and, thus, accounted for the transaction as a failed sale leaseback, with the HQ assets subject to the sale leaseback remaining on the balance sheet and the sale proceeds recorded as a liability in accordance with the financing method. The Company recognized a $29,000 financing obligation recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Capital leases, less current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020. No gain or loss was record on the failed sale-leaseback. The Company continued to capitalize and depreciate the HQ asset. The ongoing lease payments to Atlas were recorded as reductions to the finance obligation and Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company recorded interest expense of $1,464 and $1,760 and during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On October 29, 2021, the purchase option for the Gardena headquarters expired. Accordingly, the Company removed from its Consolidated Balance Sheets the HQ asset, net and finance obligation in the amounts of $25,381 and $28,880, respectively, resulting in a gain of $3,499. The Company recognized the gain using the installment method, deferring the gain and recognizing it over the remaining lease term of five years by applying the percentage of profit inherent in the transaction to the remaining lease payments. Capital leases of $14,180 and $43,882 have been capitalized within property and equipment as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company has three capital leases, one in Gardena, California for its headquarters and two equipment leases. Due to the build out of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Hanford, California, the Company established an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) of $2,974 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recorded an ARO liability and a corresponding ARO asset, within tooling, machinery, and equipment. The ARO asset is depreciated to operating expense over the remaining term of the lease through December 2027. During 2021, the Company disposed of $72,055 of CIP relating to the abandonment of certain FF 91 program assets, primarily vendor tooling, machinery and equipment, due to the redesign of the related FF 91 components and implementation of the Company’s cost reduction program. Disposals of CIP of $64,191 were charged to operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, there were disposals of CIP of $7,864, which reduced Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021.

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following: September 30, December 31, 2021 Accrued legal contingencies $ 14,606 $ 16,881 Engineering, design and testing services received not invoiced 7,637 6,620 Deposits from customers 3,708 4,354 Accrued legal contingencies due to affiliates 6,551 6,673 Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock (1) — 12,635 Bridge Warrants (2) 4,686 — Other current liabilities 8,916 21,597 Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 46,104 $ 68,760 (1) The obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock was reclassified to Commitment to issue Class A Common Stock upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, and subsequently to Additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) upon the issuance of Class A Common Stock on July 21, 2022 (see Note 7, Fair Value of Financial Instruments). (2) Issuance of Liability-classified Warrants On various funding dates and as part of the SPA (as defined and further discussed in Note 9, Notes Payable The Company determined that the Bridge Warrants represent a liability that should be measured at fair value at each issuance date and reporting period, with changes recorded in Changes in fair value measurements in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, as the Bridge Warrants contained provisions that allow the holders to redeem them in cash at any time upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the warrants agreements, among other events, as a sale or transfer of the majority of its assets, merger with or acquisition by a third party. Accordingly, the Company recorded the Bridge Warrants in Accrued expense and other current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet upon their issuance based on the relative fair values of the Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants with portions of the proceeds, net of original issue discount and allocated transaction costs, so allocated to the warrants in the amount of $6,971. On September 30, 2022, the Company determined the value of the warrants to be $4,686 and recorded the difference as gain in the amount of $2,285 in the Changes in fair value measurements in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.	7.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds. Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 instruments typically include U.S. Government and agency debt securities and corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained through market data of the investment itself as well as market transactions involving comparable assets, liabilities or funds. Level 3 Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models or similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial or nonfinancial asset or liability. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to certain notes payable with conversion features as discussed in Note 9, Notes Payable Notes Payable The Company has elected to measure certain notes payable at fair value. Specifically, the Optional Notes and the June 2021 Notes (as defined below), issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”), and the Bridge Notes (as defined below), issued pursuant to the SPA (as defined below), as amended, as they contain embedded liquidation premiums with conversion rights that represent embedded derivatives (see Note 9, Notes Payable The fair value adjustments related to notes payables were recorded in Change in Fair Value Measurements on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Commitment to Issue Class A Common Stock Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company assumed an obligation of PSAC to deliver 2,387,500 registered shares of Class A Common Stock to an entity that provided consulting and advisory services in connection with the Business Combination to PSAC for no consideration. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the agreement with the service provider specified that the shares to be delivered are required to be registered, which is considered to be outside of the control of the Company, and therefore this obligation failed to qualify for equity treatment under ASC 815-40-25-10, and net cash settlement was assumed. As a result, in conjunction with recording the assets and liabilities of PSAC on the closing of the Business Combination, the Company recorded a liability of $32,900 for the Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock in the Consolidated Balance Sheets during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the liability was $12,635 resulting in a gain of $20,265 recorded in the Change in Fair value measurements in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. On January 1, 2022, upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the requirement to consider whether settlement is required to be in registered shares is no longer required to be considered in an entity’s evaluation of net cash settlement, however ASC 480-10-S99-3a was not amended in a similar fashion and therefore the Company, as part of the adjustments due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, reclassified the Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock from liabilities to the Commitment to issue Class A Common Stock within temporary equity. On July 21, 2022, the Company amended its agreement with the service provider and delivered 2,387,500 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of its obligation. Upon its settlement, the carrying amount of the commitment equaled its initial carrying amount, therefore the Company classified the entire commitment to issue Class A Common Stock to APIC in the amount of $32,900. Transfer of Private Warrants to Unaffiliated Third Parties On August 9, 2022, PSAC Sponsor transferred 398,420 Private Warrants to unaffiliated third-party purchasers on the open market. Upon such transfer, the transferred warrants became subject to identical terms to the Public Warrants underlying the units offered in the initial public offering of PSAC. Therefore, upon their transfer the Company classified the warrants to APIC at their fair value of $186. Issuance of Liability-classified Warrants The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of the warrants, where the significant assumptions used the volatility rate, the forecasted term of the Bridge Warrants and the projected stock price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock over such term. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables present financial assets and liabilities remeasured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy: September 30, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Notes payable $ — $ — $ 46,950 Private Warrants — — 130 Bridge Warrants — — 4,686 December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Notes payable $ — $ — $ 161,282 Private Warrants — — 642 Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock — — 12,635 The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, restricted cash, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term nature or contractually defined value. The following table summarizes the activity of Level 3 fair value measurements: Bridge Notes Private Obligation Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ — $ 161,282 $ 642 $ 12,635 Additions 6,971 44,500 — — Changes in fair value measurements (2,285 ) (4,549 ) (326 ) — Payments of notes payable, including Payment Premium — (87,065 ) — — Conversions of notes to common stock — (67,218 ) — — Reclassification of Private Warrants to Public Warrants — — (186 ) — Reclassification of obligation to issue registered shares upon adoption of ASC 2020-06 — — (12,635 ) Balance as of September 30, 2022 $ 4,686 $ 46,950 $ 130 $ —	8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash Equivalents The fair value of the Company’s money market funds is based on the closing price of these assets as of the reporting date, which are included in cash equivalents. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Related Party Notes Payable and Notes Payable at Fair Value The Company has elected to measure certain related party notes payable and notes payable at fair value issued under the Notes Purchase Agreement, as amended (“NPA”) as they contain embedded liquidation premiums with conversion rights that represent embedded derivatives (see Note 9, Related Party Notes Payable Notes Payable Notes Payable The fair value adjustments related to related party notes payables and notes payables were recorded in Change in Fair Value Measurements on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Warrants In conjunction with notes payable agreements entered into with Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) on March 1, 2021 (see Note 10, Notes Payable (1) The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the Ares Warrants. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of several assumptions including, the exercise price of the warrant, the term over which the warrants can be exercised, the risk-free rate, the underlying stock price, and the volatility of the underlying stock price. In conjunction with notes payable issued under the NPA (see Note 10, Notes Payable (10) In conjunction with the issuance of additional notes payable to the same US-based investment firm on June 9, 2021 (see Note 10, Notes Payable In conjunction with the issuance of the Optional Notes on August 10, 2021 (see Note 10, Notes Payable, Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company assumed 22,977,568 Public Warrants and 594,551 Private Warrants from PSAC. The Company also issued 80,000 Private Warrants to settle related party notes of PSAC (see Note 3, Business Combination Fair value measurements associated with the Private Warrants liabilities represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy. Obligation to Issue Registered Shares of Class A Common Stock PSAC entered into a transaction services agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (and amended on October 28, 2020), pursuant to which Riverside Management Group (“RMG”) provided consulting and advisory services in connection with the Business Combination in exchange for (i) $10,000 in cash from PSAC at the closing of the Business Combination, (ii) 1,697,500 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock with an equal amount of shares of common stock in PSAC being forfeited by the PSAC Sponsor for no consideration immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) 690,000 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock issued by the Company in conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination having a value equal to $6,900 and an attributed value of $10.00 per share. On July 18, 2021, the Company entered into an omnibus transaction services fee agreement and acknowledgement (“Agreement and Acknowledgement”) with RMG. Pursuant to the Agreement and Acknowledgement, the Company will issue 2,387,500 registered shares of Class A Common Stock to the parties upon effectiveness of the registration statement covering these shares. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s registration statement is not effective. As the Agreement and Acknowledgement specified that delivery of these shares will occur upon effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares, which is considered to be outside of the control of the Company, this obligation failed to qualify for equity treatment under ASC 815-40-25-10 and 25-14, and net cash settlement is assumed. As a result, in conjunction with recording the assets and liabilities of PSAC on the closing of the Business Combination, the Company recorded a liability of $32,900 to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock, with a corresponding amount recorded in APIC as transaction costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the liability was $12,635 resulting in a gain of $20,265 recorded in the Change in Fair Value Measurements in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (see Note 13, Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) The Company used the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) to determine the fair value of the obligation to issue registered shares. The PWERM framework is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of the obligation based upon an analysis of future values of the settlement of the obligation to issue shares, assuming various outcomes. The probability weightings assigned to certain potential scenarios were based on management’s assessment of the probability of settlement of the liability in cash or shares and an assessment of the timing of settlement. In the equity settlement scenario, the obligation valuation was based on the Company’s share price as of each valuation date. In the cash settlement scenario, the obligation valuation was based the cash payment that equates to the share price times total shares to be issued, discounted to each valuation date. Fair value measurements associated with the obligation to issue shares represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables present financial assets and liabilities remeasured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Notes payable $ — $ — $ 161,282 Private Warrants — — 642 Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock — — 12,635 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Related party notes payable $ — $ — $ 32,949 Notes payable — — 59,742 The9 Conditional Obligation — — 1,128 The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, restricted cash, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term nature or contractually defined value.

(“Leview”) provided the Company with cash contributions for a total of $278,866. F&F HK was previously controlled by the Company’s founder and former CEO and Leview is controlled by the Company’s founder and former CEO. On March 30, 2018, the cash funding was restructured via an agreement in the form of notes payable bearing an annual interest rate of 12.00% and maturing on December 31, 2020. The notes payable are unsecured and there are no covenants associated with these notes payable. Faraday & Future (HK) Limited F&F HK provided an aggregate principal loan in the total sum of $212,007 to the Company as part of the agreement on March 30, 2018. On June 27, 2019, the Company entered into a note payable cancellation agreement for a portion of the note payable with F&F HK effective January 1, 2019 and simultaneously the note payable was assumed by a third-party lender. The agreement cancelled $48,374 of principle and $5,805 of unpaid interest due to F&F HK. There was no loss or gain on the extinguishment of note payable due to the net carrying amount of the note payable extinguished being equivalent to the reacquisition price of the new note payable. Leview Mobile (HK) Ltd Leview provided an aggregate principal loan in the total sum of $66,859 to the Company as part of the agreement on March 30, 2018. Beijing Bairui Culture Media, Co. Ltd Between December 2017 and July 2018, the Company executed several notes payable agreements with Beijing Bairui Culture Media Co., Ltd. (“Bairui”) for total principal of $27,329. Bairui was previously controlled by the Company’s founder and former CEO. Each note payable originally matured one year after its issuance. The notes payable originally bore interest of 0% per annum. The notes payable were unsecured and there were no covenants associated with these notes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Bairui forgave $2,487 of the outstanding notes payable. Due to the notes payable having below market interest rates, the Company imputed interest upon entering into the notes payable resulting in a notes payable discount and a capital contribution due to the related party nature of the arrangements. On January 1, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to consolidate the notes payable into one note for the same amount, extend the maturity date of this note payable to December 31, 2020, and increase the interest rate from 0% to 12%. Since the cash flows of the modified note payable exceeded the cash flows of the original notes payable by more than 10%, the modification was accounted for as an extinguishment with a loss on extinguishment of $314 recorded in (Loss) Gain at Settlement of Related Party Notes Payable, Notes Payable, and Vendor Payables in Trust, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the year ended December 31, 2020. The net carrying value of the original note payable of $20,842 was replaced with a note payable with a fair value of $21,156. Additionally, accretion of $657 and $2,586 was recorded in Interest Expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the unamortized discount. CYM Tech Holdings LLC On August 28, 2020, the related party notes payable with F&F HK, Leview, and Bairui were restructured to consolidate the lenders and extend the maturity date through June 30, 2021, transferring both the principal and accrued interest to the new lender, CYM Tech Holdings LLC, wholly-owned subsidiary of members of management. The related party notes payable that were restructured were the following: Before Restructuring Lender Principal Faraday & Future (HK) Limited $ 149,081 Leview Mobile (HK) Ltd 66,859 Beijing Bairui Culture Media, Co. Ltd 24,603 Total $ 240,543 After Restructuring Lender Principal CYM Tech Holdings LLC $ 240,543 The restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring because the Company was experiencing financial difficulty and the conversion mechanism results in the effective borrowing rate decreasing after the restructuring which was determined to be a concession. Since the future undiscounted cash flows of the restructured note payable exceed the net carrying value of the original notes payable due to the maturity date extension, the restructuring is accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company concluded that the conversion features do not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. On April 9, 2021, the Company executed agreements with CYM Tech Holdings LLC to convert their notes with principal amounts of $194,810 and accrued interest of $71,764 into the commitment to issue Class A Common Stock. Under the agreements, the notes ceased to accrue interest on March 31, 2021. On May 13, 2021, principal amounts of $90,869 and accrued interest of $43,490 were converted into shares of Legacy FF convertible preferred stock and on July 21, 2021, were converted into Class A Common Stock upon the closing of the Business Combination. Prior to Closing of the Business Combination, the Company converted principal amounts of $130,479 and accrued interest of $29,958 into Class A Common Stock. In conjunction with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued Class A Common Stock to settle the remaining principal of $19,196.

The aggregate principal amount that may be issued under the NPA was $200,000. All obligations due under the NPA bore interest of 10% per annum and are collateralized by a first lien, with second payment priority, on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

The Company elected the fair value option for this note payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments In July 2019, the Company executed a joinder agreement to the NPA with a company owned by an employee for a convertible note payable with total principal of $16,462.

In April 2017, the Company entered into a $728 note payable with an employee. The note originally matured on October 2, 2017 and bore interest at 0% per year. The note had no covenants and was unsecured. Due to the note payable having an interest rate below market rates, the Company imputed interest upon executing the note payable resulting in a note payable discount and a capital contribution due to the related party nature of the arrangement. On September 25, 2020, the notes payable was modified to extend the maturity to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature to allow conversion of the note payable into a variable number of SPAC shares if a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. Since the conversion feature is substantive as it is reasonably possible to be exercised, this modification was accounted for as an extinguishment. The conversion feature does not require bifurcation because it is clearly and closely related to the debt host since the conversion does not involve a substantial premium or discount. The modification agreement and the accounting conclusions are collectively referred to as the September 2020 Modification. The Company recorded an immaterial gain on extinguishment and immaterial accretion of discount in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

On the same day, the Company entered into notes payable agreements with Ares for an aggregate principal of $55,000. The notes payable were collateralized by a first lien on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, bore interest at 14% per annum and matured on March 1, 2022. On February 25, 2022, the Company repaid the $55,000 principal amount of the March 1, 2021 Notes with accrued interest of $7,721. On August 26, 2021, the Company exercised its option under the March 1, 2021 notes payable agreement with Ares to draw an additional principal amount of $30,000 which matured on March 1, 2022. As the August 26, 2021 Notes mature in less than one year, according to the terms of the amended NPA, the Company expected to repay them with payment premium of 14% (“Payment Premium”). On February 25, 2022, the Company repaid the $30,000 principal amount of the August 26, 2021 Notes, with accrued interest of $2,135 and Payment Premium of $2,065. The settlement of the March 1, 2021 Notes and August 26, 2021 Notes are summarized below: September 30, December 31, March 1, 2021 Notes Outstanding principal $ — $ 55,000 Accrued interest — 6,455 Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 1,266 — Principal payments 55,000 — Interest payments 7,721 — September 30, December 31, August 26, 2021 Notes Outstanding principal $ — $ 30,000 Accrued interest — 1,473 Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 662 — Principal payments 30,000 — Interest payments 2,135 — Payment Premium payments 2,065 — (2) In April 2022, the Company paid the remaining principal and accrued interest in an aggregate amount of $193. (3) On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “ATW July Amendment”) with entities affiliated with ATW Partners LLC (collectively, the “Investors”), to extend the maturity date, adjust the conversion price and otherwise amend the terms (as described further below) of the Optional Notes and the June 2021 Notes (together, “ATW NPA Notes”). Pursuant to the ATW July Amendment: (a) the maturity date of each of the ATW NPA Notes was extended to October 31, 2026. This extension does not, however, defer the accrual of interest to the new maturity date. Interest shall accrue on the Notes at 10% per annum following February 10, 2023; (b) the conversion price of each of the ATW NPA Notes was adjusted to equal the lesser of (x) $10, (y) 95% of the per share daily volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date and (z) the lowest effective price per share of Class A Common Stock (or equivalents) issued or issuable by the Company in any financing of debt or equity after July 26, 2022, subject to possible adjustment as set forth therein (the “Set Price”). However, from July 26, 2022 to December 30, 2022, the conversion price of each of the ATW NPA Notes is equal to the lesser of (i) the Set Price, and (ii) 92% of the lowest of the VWAP during the seven (7) trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date; (c) a “forced conversion” feature was added to each of the ATW NPA Notes that allows the Company, on or after December 31, 2022, to cause the conversion of all or part of, in the aggregate among all of the ATW NPA Notes, up to $35,000 principal amount of the ATW NPA Notes less any principal amount of the ATW NPA Notes voluntarily converted by the holder thereof after July 26, 2022, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the ATW July Amendment; (d) the date by which the Investors must exercise their option to purchase additional June 2021 Notes of up to $40,000 from the Company under the terms of the NPA was extended to July 20, 2023; and (e) within 45 days of the date on which at least $50,000 in senior secured convertible term loans have been funded to the Company by the Investors or their affiliates under the “Tranche A Loans” facility (the “Tranche A Facility”) (which funding by the Investors or their affiliates is conditioned upon the Company obtaining binding commitments for at least $100,000 in additional financing) (the “Collateral Trigger Date”), subject to agreement by the Company and the Investors on the terms of such Tranche A Facility, the Amendment provides that the Company and the Investors will enter into a security agreement to secure the obligations under the Notes with a junior lien on substantially all of the assets that secure the Tranche A Facility (the “Lien Security Agreement”). The ATW July Amendment was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring, Interest expense on the ATW NPA Notes is computed using the contractual interest rate. The Company concluded that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. Between August 16, 2022 and September 14, 2022, the Investors converted $67,218 of principal at conversion prices ranging from $0.84 to $2.29 per share into 64,843,850 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Tranche A Facility was funded on October 10, 2022 (as further described below with regards to the Fourth Bridge Notes), which was considered the Collateral Triggered Date. On the same day and on October 19, 2022, the remaining ATW NPA Notes in the aggregate amount of $6,699 were exchanged for 11,496,868 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (see Note 15, Subsequent Events (4) On August 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with certain entities affiliated with ATW Partners LLC and RAAJJ Trading LLC (and together with Senyun, as defined below, the “Purchasers”) to issue and sell the Company’s senior secured convertible notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in three tranches aggregating to $52,000 in principal (as increased on September 23, 2022 to $57,000, which increase was subsequently terminated upon the Initial Senyun Funding Date, as defined below) and maturing on August 14, 2026 (subsequently extended to October 27, 2028). The Bridge Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible, along with any interest accrued, into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $2.69 (or $2.2865 for the initial tranche) (“Conversion Price”), subject to a full ratchet anti-dilution protection. When calculating the shares issuable upon conversion, the converted amount shall be decreased by 50% of the original issue discount pertaining to such amount. As of September 30, 2022, the Purchasers funded $44,500, less total original discounts of $4,450 and transaction costs of $2,813, equating to net proceeds of $37,237. The Bridge Notes bear interest of 10% per annum payable quarterly and on each conversion and on the maturity date in cash or in shares of Class A Common Stock. Unless earlier paid, the Bridge Notes entitle the Purchasers, at each conversion date, to an interest make-whole (“Make-Whole Amount”), in a combination of cash or Class A Common Stock at the Company’s discretion, in the amount of the interest that would have been payable if such converted amount was held to maturity based on an interest rate of 15% per annum. The conversion price of interest is the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price or (b) 90% of the lowest VWAP for the five consecutive trading days. As part of the SPA, the Company issued to the Purchasers 6,043,623 warrants with ratchet clauses triggering an increase to 42,342,839 warrants (“Bridge Warrants”), with an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, exercisable for seven years from the date of issuance (see Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity Total commitments under the SPA shall not exceed $300,000, however each Purchaser has the option within 12 months from November 12, 2022 (the “Form S-1 Effective Date”) to purchase additional senior secured convertible notes under similar terms for a total potential commitments of up to $600,000 (“Tranche B Notes”). On September 23, 2022, the SPA was amended (the “SPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to accelerate their funding obligations, with $7,500 aggregate principal amount (the “Third Bridge Notes”) being funded and issued on the same day, and the remaining $7,500 aggregate principal amount (the “Fourth Bridge Notes”) being funded and issued on October 10, 2022. The Third Bridge Notes and Fourth Bridge Notes are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.05 per share, mature on October 27, 2028, and are otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions in the SPA as applicable to the Bridge Notes described therein. The Bridge Notes are secured by the grant of a second lien upon substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as guarantee by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, the SPA Amendment modified the conversion price of $25,000 of principal of the Bridge Notes, which were funded on August 14, 2022, to $1.05 per share. The Company evaluated the SPA Amendment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt On September 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment Agreement to the SPA (the “Joinder”) with Senyun International Ltd., an affiliate of Daguan International Limited (“Senyun”), pursuant to which Senyun agreed to purchase incremental notes under the SPA in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60,000, subject to the completion of due diligence by the Company of Senyun and its financing sources. Senyun has all of the same rights and obligations as a Purchaser under the SPA. Pursuant to the Joinder and following the completion of the Company’s due diligence of Senyun and its financing sources, Senyun is expected to fund its commitments according to the following schedule (subject, in each case to the satisfaction of certain conditions): (a) $10,000 in principal which was funded on October 27, 2022 (“First Senyun Funding Date”), out of which the Company received $8,800, net of original issue discount and transaction costs); (b) $10,000 in principal on the later of (x) 14 business days after the First Senyun Funding Date and (y) the receipt of approval of the Company’s stockholders of certain proposals (which was obtained on November 3, 2022), and was funded on November 15, 2022, out of which the Company received $8,970, net of original issue discount and transaction costs (“Second Senyun Funding Date”); (c) $10,000 in principal amount not later than 15 business days after the Form S-1 Effective Date; (d) $10,000 in principal amount within 30 business days after the Form S-1 Effective Date; and (e) $20,000 in principal amount on a date that is no later than ten (10) business days after the launch of the FF 91. Upon the First Senyun Funding Date, the Purchasers’ obligation to purchase an additional $5,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes automatically terminated. The Company elected the fair value option afforded by ASC 825, Financial Instruments On September 30, 2022, the Company determined that the fair value of the Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants was $40,769 and $4,686, respectively, resulting in a loss in Changes in fair value measurements in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the amount of $7,690 and $2,285, respectively.

The commitment to issue the warrants meets the definition of a derivative, was accounted for as a liability, and will be marked to fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair market value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The notes payable are collateralized by a first lien on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and bear interest at 14% per annum and mature on March 1, 2022. As the August 26, 2021 Notes mature in less than one year, according to the terms of the amended NPA, the Company expects to repay them with a payment premium of 14% (“Payment Premium”). The Company has elected the fair value option to value the notes as the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the cash requirement prescribed in the NPA increased from $5,000 to $25,000. The Company has classified $25,000 as Restricted Cash on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. On February 25, 2022, the Company paid $96,921 in cash to settle the March 1, 2021 Notes and the August 26, 2021 Notes with principal amount of $85,000, accrued interest of $9,856 and Payment Premium of $2,065.

The Company received net proceeds of $35,603 as part of the June 2021 Notes inclusive of $4,200 of original issuance discount and $197 of debt issuance costs paid by the lender. The June 2021 Notes are subordinate to the notes payable issued to Ares on March 1, 2021 and August 26, 2021 (see (1) above) and senior in priority to the notes payable issued under the NPA prior to September 9, 2020. The June 2021 Notes mature on December 9, 2022, and do not bear interest unless extended beyond its maturity date by the US-based investment firm, in which case, the June 2021 Notes will bear interest at 10% per annum starting upon their original maturity. Each of the June 2021 Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 8% and 13%, respectively. One of the June 2021 Notes with a principal amount of $20,000 contains a conversion premium that, within a year of a Qualified SPAC Merger, the then outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes playable plus a 30% premium may convert into Class A Common Stock of the Company, at the election of the US-based investment firm. In conjunction with the issuance of the June 2021 Notes, the Company issued warrants to the US-based investment firm to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $10.00 per share and an expiration date of June 9, 2028, which were adjusted for down-round provisions in the original warrant agreements. The fair value of the warrants of $5,125 upon issuance was recorded in APIC (see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments As part of the amendment to the NPA from June 9, 2021, on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Qualified SPAC Merger, the US-based investment firm has the option to purchase additional notes for up to $40,000 and if drawn, would be subject to similar original issue discounts, warrant provisions, and conversion premiums as the June 2021 Notes. The warrants issued with the June 2021 Notes and the Optional Notes, along with the notes previously issued to the same lender, are provided with anti-dilution protection. The US-based investment firm has not elected to convert the Optional Notes to Class A Common Stock and they are outstanding as of December 31, 2021. On August 10, 2021, in accordance with the NPA, the US-based investment firm exercised its option to purchase optional notes (“Optional Notes”) with principal of $33,917, whose option was in conjunction with the original September 9, 2020, January 13, 2021 and March 12, 2021 notes payable. The Company received net proceeds of $30,375, which is the total principal amount of $33,917 net of 8% original issue discount and $828 of issuance costs. The Optional Notes bear interest at 15% beginning December 2021, and have a maturity date of February 10, 2023. The Optional Notes are convertible at the option of the holder with a conversion price of $10.00 per share. The Optional Notes contain a conversion premium, effective until August 10, 2022, according to which the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes payable at the time of liquidation plus a 30% premium are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company elected the fair value option to measure the Optional Notes (see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments In conjunction with the issuance of the Optional Notes, the Company issued the US-based investment firm warrants to purchase up to 1,187,083 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable within seven years of their original issuance dates. The fair value of the warrants of $7,976 upon issuance was recorded in APIC (see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in January 2022, the Company defaulted on the June 2021 Notes and the Optional Notes. The holders of the Optional Notes have waived the default.

The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and provided for loans to qualifying businesses. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable so long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities, as described in the CARES Act. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the later of the first six months or when the amount of the loan forgiveness is determined. The Company used the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP requirements. The note matured on April 17, 2022, had no covenants, and was unsecured.

Closing of the Business Combination As described in Note 3, Business Combination (5) In January 2019, upon extinguishment of a portion of the Faraday and Future (HK) Limited related party notes payable, the Company borrowed $54,179 through notes payable from a Chinese lender. The notes payable originally matured on December 31, 2020, bore interest of 12.00% per annum, had no covenants, and were unsecured. On December 31, 2020, the notes payable were modified to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature. The conversion feature, which was contingent upon the closing of a Qualified SPAC Merger, requires the Company to issue Class A ordinary shares to the lender based on a fixed conversion ratios immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified SPAC Merger to settle the outstanding note payable before being exchanged for Qualified SPAC Merger shares at the closing date. The modification was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring because the Company was experiencing financial difficulty and the conversion mechanism results in the effective borrowing rate decreasing after the restructuring. Since the future undiscounted cash flows of the restructured notes payable exceed the net carrying value of the original note payable due to the maturity date extension, the modification was accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company concluded that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. In conjunction with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued Class A Common Stock to settle the note payable. As of and for the Year Ended 2021 2020 Outstanding principal $ — $ 57,293 Accrued interest — 13,769 Interest expense 3,408 7,387 Foreign exchange (gain) loss on principal (1,293 ) 4,108 Principal settled with equity 56,000 — Interest settled with equity 17,177 — (6) The Company issued 10% interest notes with various third parties through the NPA.

In September and November, 2020, the notes payable were modified to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature. This feature, contingent upon the closing of a Qualified SPAC Merger, required the Company to issue Class A ordinary Stock to the lender based on a fixed conversion ratio immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified SPAC Merger to settle the outstanding notes payable before being exchanged for Qualified SPAC Merger shares upon the Qualified SPAC Merger closing date. The modification was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The modification was accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	10. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its commencement if the Company is both able to identify an asset and conclude the Company has the right to control the identified asset. Leases are classified as finance or operating based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. An ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments related to the lease. The Company recognizes operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes renewal options when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, and excludes termination options. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.

Commitments and Contingencies	11. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of any such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty. On December 23, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against the Company, among others, and its current Global CEO, its former CFO, its current Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer, as well as the CFO of Legacy FF and former CFO of the Company, and the Co-CEOs of PSAC. Also, on March 8, March 21, April 11, and April 25 2022, putative stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California and United States District Court, District of Delaware against numerous current and former officers and directors of the Company alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various common law claims. Also, on June 14, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, among others, the Company, its current Global CEO, its former CFO and its current Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer alleging breaches of fiduciary duties. Lastly, on September 21, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, among others, the Company, the Co-CEOs and independent directors of PSAC, and certain third-party advisors to PSAC, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, and aiding and abetting the alleged breaches, in connection with disclosures and stockholder voting leading up to the Business Combination. On March 8, 2022 and March 21, 2022, putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. On April 8, 2022, these two derivative lawsuits were consolidated. On May 24, 2022, the consolidated derivative actions were stayed pending resolution of a motion to dismiss in the putative class action described above. Additionally, on April 11 and April 25, 2022, putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, District of Delaware. These lawsuits purport to assert claims on behalf of the Company against numerous current and former officers and directors of the Company. Lastly, on June 14, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, among others, the Company, its current Global CEO, its former CFO and its founder and Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer alleging breaches of fiduciary duties. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claims. On June 14, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, among others, the Company, its current Global CEO, its former CFO and its current Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer alleging breaches of fiduciary duties. On August 11, 2022, the Court of Chancery granted a stipulation and order governing briefing on a motion to dismiss the complaint. On September 21, 2022, an additional verified stockholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against, among others, the Company alleging, among other issues, breaches of fiduciary duties. On October 12, 2022, plaintiff filed a motion to consolidate the Cleveland Yun Cleveland’s On September 23, 2022, plaintiff and defendants of the original June 14, 2022 action filed a stipulation and proposed order vacating the briefing schedule set forth pending consolidation of the action alongside the September 21, 2022 complaint. If the proposed order is entered by the court, the parties will meet and confer regarding a schedule governing further proceedings following consolidation of the actions. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of potential loss. On September 19, 2022, three Company employees and stockholders brought an action seeking to compel the Company to comply with its obligations under Delaware law to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors. Plaintiffs have stayed this action until January 10, 2023. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of potential loss. On October 20, 2022, FF received a subpoena from the SEC requiring FF to produce certain documents relating to FF’s transactions with Senyun International Ltd. FF intends to fully comply with the subpoena. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued legal contingencies of $22,417 and $16,881, respectively, within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Accounts Payable on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential financial exposure related to ongoing legal matters primarily related to breach of contracts and employment matters which are deemed both probable of loss and reasonably estimable. Accrued legal contingencies recorded to Accounts Payable relate to disputes with service providers, whereas legal contingencies recorded to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities include all other anticipated legal accruals. During the nine months ending September 30, 2022, the Company settled a legal dispute for breach of lease under which the Company was named a co-defendant, in a civil action case with the plaintiff seeking damages including unpaid rent, future unpaid rent, unpaid expenses, and unpaid taxes related to the lease for a total of $6,400. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay $1,800 in cash in January 2022 and an additional $3,400 plus 5% interest in October 2022 and was liable for the remainder of the settlement, in the amount of $1,200, in the event the co-defendants failed to make the payment in January 2022. In January 2022, the Company made the initial settlement payment of $1,800 and was relieved of the liability of $1,200. As of the date of issuing these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has not made the additional $3,400 settlement and interest payments, as prescribed in the settlement agreement. On October 26, 2022, the plaintiff filed a motion to enforce the settlement agreement in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara, seeking no material additional damages. Such hearing is scheduled for December 22, 2022. Special Committee Investigation As previously disclosed on November 15, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) established a special committee of independent directors (“Special Committee”) to investigate allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures, including those made in an October 2021 short seller report and whistleblower allegations, which resulted in the Company being unable to timely file its third quarter 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, first quarter 2022 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258993) (the “Form S-1”). The Special Committee engaged outside independent legal counsel and a forensic accounting firm to assist with its review. On February 1, 2022, the Company announced that the Special Committee completed its review. On April 14, 2022, the Company announced the completion of additional investigative work based on the Special Committee’s findings which were performed under the direction of the Executive Chairperson, reporting to the Audit Committee. In connection with the Special Committee’s review and subsequent investigative work, the following findings were made: ● In connection with the Business Combination, statements made by certain Company employees to certain investors describing the role of Yueting (“YT”) Jia, the Company’s founder and former CEO, within the Company were inaccurate and his involvement in the management of the Company post-Business Combination was more significant than what had been represented to certain investors. ● The Company’s statements leading up to the Business Combination that it had received more than 14,000 reservations for the FF 91 vehicle were potentially misleading because only several hundred of those reservations were paid, while the others (totaling 14,000) were unpaid indications of interest. ● Consistent with the Company’s previous public disclosures regarding identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting requires an upgrade in personnel and systems. ● The Company’s corporate culture failed to sufficiently prioritize compliance. ● Mr. Jia’s role as an intermediary in leasing certain properties which were subsequently leased to the Company was not disclosed in the Company’s corporate housing disclosures. ● In preparing the Company’s related party transaction disclosures, the Company failed to investigate and identify the sources of loans received from individuals and entities associated with Company employees. In addition, the investigation found that certain individuals failed to fully disclose to individuals involved in the preparation of the Company’s SEC filings their relationships with certain related parties and affiliated entities in connection with, and following, the Business Combination, and failed to fully disclose relevant information, including but not limited to, information in connection with related parties and corporate governance to the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The investigation also found that certain individuals failed to cooperate and withheld potentially relevant information in connection with the Special Committee investigation. Among such individuals were non-executive officers or members of the management team of FF, and remedial action was taken with respect to such individuals based on the extent of non-cooperation and/or withholding of information. The failure to cooperate with the investigation was taken into consideration in connection with the remedial actions outlined below with respect to Mr. Jiawei (“Jerry”) Wang, the Company’s former Vice President, Global Capital Markets, and withholding of information also affected the remedial action taken with respect to Mr. Matthias Aydt, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Definition and a director of the Company. Based on the results of the investigation, the Special Committee concluded that, except as described above, other substantive allegations of inaccurate FF disclosures that it evaluated, were not supported by the evidence reviewed. Although the investigation did not change any of the above findings with respect to the substantive allegations of inaccurate FF disclosures, the investigation did confirm the need for remedial actions to help ensure enhanced focus on compliance and disclosure within FF. Based on the results of the Special Committee investigation and subsequent investigative work described above, the Board approved the following remedial actions designed to enhance oversight and corporate governance of the Company: ● certain remedial actions designed to enhance oversight and corporate governance of the Company, namely the following: ● the appointment of Ms. Swenson, a former member of the Board, to the then newly created position of Executive Chairperson of FF; ● Carsten Breitfeld, FF’s Global Chief Executive Officer, reporting directly to Ms. Swenson and receiving a 25% annual base salary reduction; ● the removal of Mr. Jia as an executive officer, although continuing in his position as Chief Product & User Ecosystem Officer of the Company. Certain dual-reporting arrangements were eliminated with respect to Mr. Jia, and he is required to report directly to Ms. Swenson, a non-independent director nominated by FF Top Holding LLC (“FF Top”). Mr. Jia also received a 25% annual base salary reduction, and his role was limited from a policy-making position to focusing on (a) Product and Mobility Ecosystem and (b) Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and Advanced R&D technology; ● Mr. Matthias Aydt, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Definition and a director of the Company, being placed on probation as an executive officer for a six-month period, during which period he will remain as a non-independent member of the Board; ● the appointment of Mr. Jordan Vogel as Lead Independent Director; certain changes to the composition of Board committees, including Brian Krolicki stepping down from his role as Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and becoming a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board; Mr. Jordan Vogel stepping down from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Scott Vogel becoming the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; ● the suspension without pay of Mr. Jiawei (“Jerry”) Wang, the Company’s former Vice President, Global Capital Markets, who subsequently notified the Board of his decision to resign from FF on April 10, 2022; ● the assessment and enhancement of FF’s policies and procedures regarding financial accounting and reporting and the upgrading of FF’s internal control over financial accounting and reporting, including by hiring additional financial reporting and accounting support, in each case at the direction of the Audit Committee; ● the implementation of enhanced controls around FF’s contracting and related party transactions, including regular attestations by FF’s employees with authority to bind FF to contracts and related party transactions, for purposes of enabling FF to make complete and accurate disclosures regarding related party transactions; ● the hiring of a Chief Compliance Officer, who reports on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit Committee, and assessing and enhancing FF’s compliance policies and procedures (and a search for a Chief Compliance Officer of FF is still pending as of the date of this Report); ● the implementation of a comprehensive training program for all directors and officers regarding, among other things, internal FF policies; ● the separation of Mr. Jarret Johnson, FF’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and ● certain other disciplinary actions and terminations of employment with respect to other FF employees (none of whom is an executive officer). As of the date hereof, FF is continuing to implement the remedial actions approved by the Board. However, no assurance can be provided that such remedial measures will be implemented in a timely manner or will be successful to prevent inaccurate disclosures in the future. SEC and DOJ Investigations Subsequent to FF announcing the completion of the Special Committee investigation on February 1, 2022, FF, certain members of the management team and employees of FF received a notice of preservation and subpoena from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC had commenced a formal investigation relating to the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. FF, which had previously voluntarily contacted the SEC in connection with the Special Committee investigation in October 2021, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation. The outcome of such an investigation is difficult to predict. FF has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation. At this stage, FF is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of the SEC’s investigation or estimate the range of any potential loss. In addition, in June 2022, FF received a preliminary request for information from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. FF has responded to that request and intends to fully cooperate with any future requests from the DOJ.	12. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase obligations Purchase obligations represent legally binding commitments to purchase inventory, tooling, machinery and equipment as well as items to be used in research and development activities. Although open purchase orders are generally considered enforceable and legally binding, some of the Company’s purchase orders give the Company the option to cancel, reschedule and/or adjust its requirements based on its business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services and to inspect and reject products, for example, if they do not comply with its specifications. Obligations to purchase inventory and other commitments are generally expected to be fulfilled within one year. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had binding purchase obligations and other commitments of $388,672. The Palantir License In July 2021, the Company and Palantir entered into a master agreement that sets forth the terms of the Palantir’s platform hosting arrangement which is expected to be used as a central operating system for data and analytics. Subsequent to entering into this arrangement, Palantir invested $25,000 in the Company through the PIPE Financing and became a shareholder of the Company. Under the platform hosting agreement, the Company committed to pay a total of $47,000 of hosting fees over a six-year term, $5,333 of which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2021. The software is cloud hosted for the entirety of the subscription term and the Company cannot take possession of the software. Accordingly, the Company determined that the subscription agreement represents a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The Company amortizes the hosting costs on a straight-line basis over the agreement term. Facility Leases The Company’s lease agreements include leasehold improvement incentives as well as escalation clauses. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for office space, with various expiration dates through April 2027. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from three to five years and require the Company to pay all executory costs such as maintenance and insurance. The Company recorded rent expense of $2,665 and $2,452 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The minimum aggregate future obligations under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2021 were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2022 $ 2,384 2023 2,695 2024 2,775 2025 2,859 2026 2,944 Thereafter 991 $ 14,648 The Company has three capital leases, one in Hanford, California for its main production facility, and two equipment leases.

In the opinion of management, the outcome of any such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty. On December 23, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against the Company and its current Chief Executive Officer, its current Chief Financial Officer, its current Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer, as well as the CFO of Legacy FF, and the Co-CEOs of PSAC. On March 7, 2022, the court appointed co-lead plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel. Co-lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 6, 2022. Defendants’ currently scheduled deadline to respond to the amended complaint is July 5, 2022. Thereafter, the defendants will have the opportunity to answer or file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The Company believes the suit is without merit and therefore intends to vigorously defend the suit. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claims. On March 8 and March 21, 2022, putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Additionally, on April 11 and 25, 2022, putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, District of Delaware.

The amendment set forth the rights, privileges, and preferences of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively “Common Stock”). The amendment authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors are empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue the Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock; provided that any issuance of Preferred Stock with more than one vote per share will require the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Voting The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders until the occurrence of a Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization, following which holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten votes per share and shall continue to be entitled to ten votes per share regardless of whether the Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization shall continue to exist or not thereafter. A “Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization” is defined as at the end of any 20 consecutive trading days, the Company has a volume weighted average total equity market capitalization of at least $20,000,000 as determined by multiplying the average closing sale price per share of Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ at the time of determination by the then total number of issued shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and other shares of the Company. Conversion Shares of Class B Common Stock have the right to convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at any time at the rate of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock. Class A Common Stock does not have the right to convert into Class B Common Stock. Liquidation In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by them.

The STI Plan does not specify a limit on the number of stock options that can be issued under the plan. Per the terms of the STI Plan the Company must reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the requirements of the STI Plan. On January 27, 2021, in conjunction with entering into a service agreement with its lessor of the facility located in Hanford, California, the Company issued 399,553 fully-vested options with an exercise price of $2.767 per share.

Upon close of the Business Combination, the intrinsic value of the option was more than the accrued outstanding rent payments and therefore the accrued outstanding rent was deemed paid. On the Closing Date and in connection with the Business Combination, each of the Company’s outstanding options under the STI Plan immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination remained outstanding and converted into the right to purchase Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares subject to such option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price per share equal to the current exercise price per share for such option divided by the Exchange Ratio.

The subscription price of $0.50 per common unit, payable by the executives and employees of the Company, was financed through non-recourse loans issued by FF Global Partners payable in equal annual installments over ten years. The common units to be purchased with a non-recourse loan are required to be treated for accounting purposes as stock options granted by FF Global Partners to executives and employees of the Legacy FF. The awards were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Net Loss per Share	14. Net Loss per Share Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares issued and shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares, as these shares are issuable for no consideration. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares issued and shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares for potentially dilutive instruments. For purposes of presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share, the Company includes shares to be issued in the denominator in accordance with ASC 710-10-54-4 and ASC 260-10-45-48 as if they had been issued on the date of the merger, as such shares are non-contingent and are issuable for no consideration (see Note 3, Business Combination The net loss per common share was the same for the Class A and Class B Common Stock because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights and are therefore, combined on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Because the Company reported net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents were determined to be antidilutive for those periods and have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.

In addition, pursuant to the Third Amendment, each Purchaser and the Agent waived certain defaults and events of default under the SPA, any notes issued pursuant to the SPA and other related documents. On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Amendment to the SPA (the “Fourth Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that (i) in no event will the effective conversion price of any interest or interest make-whole amount payable in shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of Bridge Notes issued or issuable under the SPA be lower than $0.21 per share of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) in order for the Company to make payment of any interest or interest make-whole amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, certain price and volume requirements must be met, namely that (x) the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is not less than $0.21 per share on any trading day during the preceding seven trading day period, and (y) the total volume of the Class A Common Stock does not drop below $1,500 on any trading day during the same period (in each case, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions).

Authorized Shares As of the date of issuance of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and as a result of securing additional commitments subsequent to September 30, 2022, as described above, the Company does not have sufficient remaining authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to fulfill its obligation to issue shares upon exercise of all of the warrants and conversion of all of the notes issued or issuable under the NPA and SPA, or to pay interest Make-Whole Amounts in shares upon conversion of such notes. Under the SPA, each Purchaser has the option, from time to time until November 10, 2023, to purchase additional Tranche B Notes and warrants of the Company, subject to certain conditions, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the initial principal amount of the Bridge Notes and Incremental Notes issued to such Purchaser. Under the NPA, the Investors have a similar option to acquire additional Optional Notes and warrants of the Company, subject to certain conditions. If there is an insufficient number of remaining authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company would be required to pay the interest “Make-Whole Amount” in cash, which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity position, business and results of operations. At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on November 3, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved (among other proposals) a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to increase the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock from 825,000,000 to 900,000,000 shares. In order to have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to issue to the Purchasers and/or Investors pursuant to the NPA and SPA, the Company intends to call a subsequent special meeting in January 2023 to obtain stockholder approval to further increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock.

Subsequent Events Other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Special Committee Investigation As previously disclosed on November 15, 2021, the Company’s Board established a special committee of independent directors (“Special Committee”) to investigate allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures, including those made in an October 2021 short seller report and whistleblower allegations, which resulted in the Company being unable to timely file its third quarter 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258993). The Special Committee engaged outside independent legal counsel and a forensic accounting firm to assist with its review. On February 1, 2022, the Company announced that the Special Committee completed its review. On April 14, 2022, the Company announced the completion of additional investigative work based on the Special Committee’s findings, which were performed under the direction of the Executive Chairperson, reporting to the Audit Committee. In connection with the Special Committee’s review and subsequent investigative work, the following findings were made: ● In connection with the Business Combination, statements made by certain Company employees to certain investors describing the role of Yueting (“YT”) Jia, the Company’s founder and former CEO, within the Company were inaccurate, and his involvement in the management of the Company post-Business Combination was more significant than what had been represented to certain investors. ● The Company’s statements leading up to the Business Combination that it had received more than 14,000 reservations for the FF 91 vehicle were potentially misleading because only several hundred of those reservations were paid, while the others (totaling 14,000) were unpaid indications of interest. ● Consistent with the Company’s previous public disclosures regarding identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting requires an upgrade in personnel and systems. ● The Company’s corporate culture failed to sufficiently prioritize compliance. ● Mr. Jia’s role as an intermediary in leasing certain properties which were subsequently leased to the Company was not disclosed in the Company’s corporate housing disclosures. ● In preparing the Company’s related party transaction disclosures, the Company failed to investigate and identify the sources of loans received from individuals and entities associated with Company employees. In addition, certain individuals failed to fully disclose to individuals involved in the preparation of the Company’s SEC filings their relationships with certain related parties and affiliated entities in connection with, and following, the Business Combination, and failed to fully disclose relevant information, including but not limited to, information in connection with related parties and corporate governance to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Further, certain individuals failed to cooperate and withheld potentially relevant information in connection with the Special Committee investigation. Based on the results of the investigation, the Special Committee concluded that, except as described above, other substantive allegations of inaccurate FF disclosures that it evaluated, were not supported by the evidence reviewed. Based on the results of the Special Committee investigation and subsequent investigative work described above, the Board approved the following remedial actions: ● certain remedial actions designed to enhance oversight and corporate governance of the Company, namely the following: ● the appointment of Susan Swenson, a member of the Board, to the newly created position of Executive Chairperson of FF; ● Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, FF’s Chief Executive Officer, reporting directly to Ms. Swenson and receiving a 25% annual base salary reduction; ● the removal of Mr. Jia as an executive officer, although continuing in his position as Chief Product & User Ecosystem Officer of the Company and reporting directly to the Executive Chairperson, receiving a 25% annual base salary reduction, and his role limited to focusing on (a) Product and Mobility Ecosystem and (b) Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and Advanced R&D technology; ● Matthias Aydt, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Definition and a director of the Company, being placed on probation as an executive officer for a six-month period, during which period he will remain as a non-independent member of the Board; ● the appointment of Jordan Vogel as Lead Independent Director; certain changes to the composition of Board committees, including Brian Krolicki stepping down from his role as Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and becoming a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board; Jordan Vogel stepping down from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Scott Vogel becoming the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; and ● the suspension without pay of Jiawei (“Jerry”) Wang, the Company’s former Vice President, Global Capital Markets, who subsequently notified the Board of his decision to resign from FF on April 10, 2022; ● the assessment and enhancement of FF’s policies and procedures regarding financial accounting and reporting and the upgrading of FF’s internal control over financial accounting and reporting, including by hiring additional financial reporting and accounting support, in each case at the direction of the Audit Committee; ● the implementation of enhanced controls around FF’s contracting and related party transactions, including regular attestations by FF’s employees with authority to bind FF to contracts and related party transactions, for purposes of enabling FF to make complete and accurate disclosures regarding related party transactions; ● the hiring of a Chief Compliance Officer, who reports on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit Committee, and assessing and enhancing FF’s compliance policies and procedures; ● the implementation of a comprehensive training program for all directors and officers regarding, among other things, internal FF policies; ● the separation of Jarret Johnson, FF’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and ● certain other disciplinary actions and terminations of employment with respect to other FF employees (none of whom is an executive officer). SEC Investigation Subsequent to the Company announcing the completion of the Special Committee investigation on February 1, 2022, the Company, certain members of the management team and employees of the Company received a notice of preservation and subpoena from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC had commenced a formal investigation relating to the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. The Company, which had previously voluntarily contacted the SEC in connection with the Special Committee investigation in October 2021, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation. The outcome of such an investigation is difficult to predict. The Company has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation. At this stage, The Company is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of the SEC’s investigation or estimate the range of any potential loss. Settlement of the Hans litigation In January 2022, the Company settled an outstanding legal dispute for breach of lease under which the Company was named a co-defendant in a civil action case with the plaintiff seeking damages including unpaid rent, future unpaid rent, unpaid expenses, and unpaid taxes related to the lease. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $1,800 in cash in January 2022 and agreed to pay an additional $3,400 plus 5% interest in October 2022. Issuance of Options under the 2021 SI Plan In January 2022, the Company awarded 3,646,557 stock options to employees and nonemployees under the 2021 SI Plan with an exercise price of $5.32 per share.

Triangle Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Landlord”) for an approximately 13,000 square feet property in Beverly Hills, California for its first flagship store. The lease will commence on the earlier of the substantial completion of the Company’s leasehold improvements and June 1, 2022, and will continue for a period of 126 months thereafter.

The Company has two consecutive options to extend the lease beyond its initial term for five additional years each by giving the Landlord not less than nine months prior notice. Rent fees during extension periods will be determined according to the fair value mechanism agreed upon between the parties. The lease agreement was effective on March 16, 2022. As part of the agreement, the Company is allowed tenant improvements in the amount of $1,030 by the Landlord. In connection with the lease agreement, on March 4, 2022, the Company obtained an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit from East West Bank in the amount of $1,500.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities and Joint Ventures	4. Variable Interest Entities and Joint Ventures The LeSEE Arrangement In November 2017, as part of a broader corporate reorganization and to facilitate third-party investment, the Company incorporated its holding company, Smart King, Ltd., in the Cayman Islands to enable effective control over the Company’s Chinese operating entity, FF Hong Kong Holding Ltd., and its subsidiaries without direct equity ownership. The Company entered into a series of contractual arrangements (“VIE contractual arrangements”) with LeSEE and LeSEE Zhile Technology Co., Ltd. (“LeSEE Zhile”), a related party of the Company, to enable the Company to exercise effective control over LeSEE and its subsidiaries, to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of such entities, and to have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in LeSEE. On August 5, 2020, an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) was entered into between the Company and LeSEE Zhile, pursuant to which, LeSEE Zhile transferred 48% equity of LeSEE to the Company for no consideration. After the transfer, LeSEE Zhile owned 1% of LeSEE and the Company owned 99% of LeSEE, making LeSEE a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and no longer a VIE, since LeSEE is consolidated through majority voting and equity interests. As such, LeSEE is consolidated by the Company within the Consolidated Financial Statements. The9 Arrangement On March 24, 2019, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) with The9 Limited (“The9”). Pursuant to the JVA, the Company and The9 agreed to establish an equity joint venture in Hong Kong, which would in turn establish a wholly-owned subsidiary in China, intended to engage in the business of manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing the planned Faraday Future Icon V9 model electric vehicle in China. The Company and The9 would each be 50% owners of the joint venture. The9 made a $5,000 non-refundable initial deposit (“The9 Conditional Obligation”) to the Company to participate in the joint venture. The9 had the right to convert the initial deposit into various classes of stock in the Company. For accounting purposes, the deposit is a financial instrument that embodies a conditional obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of shares. The9 Conditional Obligation was measured at fair value, was remeasured at each reporting period, and represented a Level 3 financial instrument under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments) The Geely Arrangement In December 2020, the Company entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely Holding”), which was also a subscriber in the PIPE Financing, pursuant to which the parties contemplate strategic cooperation in various areas including engineering, technology, supply chain, and contract manufacturing (“Geely JV”). In January 2021, the Company and Geely Holding entered into a cooperation framework agreement and a license agreement (“Geely License”) that set forth the major commercial understanding of the proposed cooperation among the parties in the areas of potential investment into the Geely JV, engineering, technology, and contract manufacturing support. The foregoing framework agreement and the Geely License may be terminated if the parties fail to enter into the joint venture definitive agreement. On September 7, 2021, the Company paid Liankong Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Liankong”), a subsidiary of Geely Holding, which was also a subscriber in the PIPE Financing, in accordance with the Intellectual Property License Agreement dated January 11, 2021, as supplemented on September 7, 2021, a one-time amount of $50,000 for a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and sublicensable license to use a platform, the Geely License. The Geely platform is an electric automotive chassis that the Company plans to use in the development of future electric vehicle models. As the Company intends to use the license in the design, construction, and testing of pre-production prototypes and models of future electric vehicles and the license has no alternative future use, the total cost to acquire the license has been expensed as incurred as research and development within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Vendor Payables in Trust

Vendor Payables In Trust [Abstract]
Vendor Payables in Trust	11. Vendor Payables in Trust On April 29, 2019, Legacy FF established the Faraday Vendor Trust (“Vendor Trust”), with the intention to stabilize its supplier base by providing suppliers with the ability to exchange their unsecured trade receivables for secured trust interests. Repayment of the trust interests was governed by a Trade Receivables Repayment Agreement dated as of April 29, 2019 (“Trade Receivables Repayment Agreement”). All interests in the Vendor Trust were collateralized by a first lien, with third payment priority, in agreement with applicable intercreditor arrangements, on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of Legacy FF. The applicable interest rate for the vendor trust principal balance was 6.00%, calculated daily from the date of contribution and was non-compounding. Management determined that the economic substance of the obligations under the Vendor Trust was an in-substance financing. A total of $0 and $111,574 of Legacy FF’s trade payables have been included in the Vendor Trust with accrued interest of $0 and $11,840 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made aggregate payments of $4,500 on the Vendor Trust. The Vendor Trust also included approximately $8,380 of purchase orders as of the Closing Date related to goods and services yet to be received (“Future Work”). These vendors did not contribute any receivables into the Vendor Trust related to the Future Work, as the goods and services are to be received at a future date. As such, the Company may cancel the vendor’s interest in the Vendor Trust related to these purchase orders until such time that the vendors begin to fulfil the requested goods and services. On October 30, 2020, the agreement governing the Vendor Trust (the “Vendor Trust Agreement”) was modified to add a conversion feature to allow the secured interests in the Vendor Trust to convert into PSAC shares if a Qualified SPAC Merger (as defined in the Vendor Trust Agreement) occurs. Management accounted for this modification as an extinguishment because the conversion feature was considered substantive, as the conversion feature was considered to be reasonably possible to be exercised. The conversion feature did not require bifurcation because it is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, since the conversion did not involve a substantial premium or discount. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $1,812 against the carrying value of the Vendor Payables in Trust. The Company recorded accretion of $1,350 and $462 in Interest Expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the discount created from the gain on extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. These adjustments resulted in the Vendor Trust having a net carrying value of $110,224 as of December 31, 2020. On March 1, 2021, the maturity date of the secured trust interests in the Vendor Trust was extended to the Closing of the Business Combination. Termination of Interests in the Vendor Trust On June 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor with an interest in the Vendor Trust for future services. The Company and the vendor agreed to forgive $14,166 relating to a portion of the total Future Work outstanding instead of converting these interests to equity upon the close of the Business Combination. In addition, it was agreed to terminate and forgive $1,901 of the vendor’s interest for work performed, resulting in a gain of $1,731. On June 7, 2021, the Company entered into agreements with two vendors and settled in cash part of their interest in the Vendor Trust totaling $5,367. The vendors’ remaining interests were settled along with the outstanding interests in the Vendor Trust as part of the close of the Business Combination. On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to cancel the vendor’s interests in the Vendor Trust totaling $1,167 and instead transferring them to accounts payable to be repaid in cash as part of the ordinary course of business. At the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the Company settled the outstanding payables in the Vendor Trust and accrued interest, by paying $22,355 in cash and the commitment to issue 9,618,542 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company recorded a loss at settlement of the Vendor Trust, and accrued interest thereon, of $41,776 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the payment of an exit fee of $2,250, as required by the Vendor Trust Agreement, and converting the beneficial interests in the Vendor Trust at $10.00 per share which was below the fair value of the stock on the date of conversion. The Company committed to issue 838,040 shares of Class A Common Stock to settle Future Work, which were recorded as deposits in the amount of $8,380 as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination. Through the payments and issuances of shares for outstanding payables, accrued interest and Future Work, the Company settled the outstanding interests in the Vendor Trust and no amount remains outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Income Taxes The provision for income tax consisted of the following: 2021 2020 Current: Federal $ — $ — State 3 3 Foreign 237 — Total current 240 3 Deferred: Federal (48,017 ) (11,456 ) State (49,894 ) — Foreign (9,956 ) (2,044 ) Valuation allowance 107,867 13,500 Total deferred — — Total provision $ 240 $ 3 The components of losses before income taxes, by taxing jurisdiction, were as follows for the years ended December 31: 2021 2020 U.S. $ (408,520 ) $ (79,605 ) Foreign (107,745 ) (67,480 ) Total $ (516,265 ) $ (147,085 ) The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21% to losses before income taxes as a result of the following: 2021 2020 Federal income tax expense 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes (net of federal benefit) 3.8 % 0.0 % Permanent differences (0.1 )% (1.3 )% Fair value debt adjustments (4.5 )% (0.6 )% Disallowed interest (0.4 )% (2.7 )% Foreign tax rate difference (0.2 )% (6.7 )% Return-to-provision adjustment (3.1 )% 0.4 % Uncertain tax benefit (0.4 )% — Expiration of tax attributes (1.7 )% (1.0 )% State tax rate change on deferred taxes 6.4 % — Valuation allowance (20.8 )% (9.1 )% Effective tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % The main changes in permanent differences related to fair value adjustments on convertible related party notes payable and notes payable and disallowed interest expense due to embedded features. The main changes in foreign tax rate difference and valuation allowance related to higher foreign losses incurred in 2021. The tax effects of temporary differences for the years ended December 31, that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are provided below: 2021 2020 Deferred Tax Assets: Net operating losses (“NOL”) $ 225,339 $ 123,633 Research and development credits 4,240 7,921 Accrued liabilities 16,258 7,564 Construction in progress — 3,061 Excess interest expense under section 163(j) 5,018 3,670 Capital losses 3,420 2,407 Amortization 12,176 — Stock-based compensation 187 428 Other 1,714 296 Gross deferred tax assets 268,352 148,980 Valuation allowance (256,413 ) (148,546 ) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 11,939 434 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Depreciation (573 ) 454 State taxes (11,366 ) (888 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (11,939 ) (434 ) Total net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ — $ — The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 since, in the judgment of management given the Company’s history of losses, the realization of these deferred tax assets was not considered more likely than not. The valuation allowance was $256,413 and $148,546 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with increases attributable to the current year’s provision. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. During 2021 and 2020, the Company evaluated the realizability of its net deferred tax assets based on available positive and negative evidence and concluded that the likelihood of realization of the benefits associated with its net deferred tax assets does not reach the level of more likely than not due to the Company’s history of cumulative pre-tax losses and risks associated with the generation of future income given the current stage of the Company’s business. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has U.S. federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $718,798 and $113,019, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2034 and 2022, respectively. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $638,270 generated post the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to the 80% taxable income limitation on the utilization of the carryforwards. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $80,528 generated prior to December 31, 2018 may be carried forward for twenty years. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has California net operating loss carryforwards of $518,073, which will begin to expire in 2034. The Company has no U.S. federal R&D tax credit carryforwards and a state R&D tax credit carryforward of $4,230 as of December 31, 2021. The U.S. state tax credits do not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) and Section 383 (“Section 383”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a cumulative change (by value) of more than 50% in the equity ownership of certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and R&D tax credits to offset post-change taxable income and post-change tax liabilities, respectively. The Company’s existing NOLs and R&D credits may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and the ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code. In addition, future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, some of which may be outside of the Company’s control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code. The Company’s intention is to indefinitely reinvest earnings in all jurisdictions outside the United States. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no material cumulative earnings outside the United States due to net operating losses and the Company has no earnings and profits in any jurisdiction, that if distributed, would give rise to a material unrecorded liability. The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, California and China. As of December 31, 2021, the 2017 through 2021 federal returns and 2017 through 2021 state returns are open to exam. The Company’s 2017 and 2018 federal returns are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company is not under any tax audits on its China tax returns. All of the prior year tax returns, from 2016 through 2021, are open under China tax law. Uncertain Income Tax Position The aggregate change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, is as follows: 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 2,666 $ 2,598 Increase related to current year tax positions 2,331 68 Ending balance $ 4,997 $ 2,666 In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall The following table summarizes the valuation allowance: 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 148,546 $ 135,046 Increase related to current year tax positions 107,867 13,500 Ending balance $ 256,413 $ 148,546

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Company consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, including the accounts of any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2022 (“Form 10-K”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, has been derived from the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, its results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those disclosed in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Form 10-K, except as described below.	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Reclassification	Reclassification The Company reclassified certain amounts in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the: (i) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (ii) valuation of equity securities; (iii) recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves; (iv) fair value of related party notes payable, notes payable and warrants liabilities; (v) estimated useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees; (vii) fair value of warrants, and (viii) incremental borrowing rate used to measure operating lease liabilities. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and financial models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates. As of the date the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. While the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 on its estimates and assumptions, due to the level of uncertainty regarding the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, there may be other judgments and assumptions that the Company has not considered. Such judgments and assumptions could result in a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances. Given the global economic climate, unpredictable nature and unknown duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, estimates are subject to additional volatility. As of the date the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities.

Income Taxes	Income Tax The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0 and $9 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $0 and $3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The difference in the Company’s effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate of 21% is due to the ratio of domestic and international loss before taxes. The Company records a full valuation allowance to reflect limited benefits for income taxes in jurisdictions that historically reported losses and a provision for income taxes in jurisdictions that are profitable. The income tax provision for each period was the combined calculated tax expenses/benefits for various jurisdictions. The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, California and China. The Company’s income tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is not under any tax audits on its income tax returns. All of the Company’s prior year tax returns, from 2016 through 2021, are open under Chinese tax law. The Company did not accrue any interest or penalties related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022, as the uncertain tax benefits only reduced the net operating losses. The Company does not expect the uncertain tax benefits to have material impact on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within the next twelve months.	Income Taxes The Company accounts for its income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the basis used for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided based on the enacted tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize those tax assets through future operations. The carrying value of deferred tax assets reflects an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets because the Company expects it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company utilizes the guidance in ASC 740-10, Income Taxes The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Foreign Currency		Foreign Currency The Company determines the functional and reporting currency of each of its international subsidiaries based on the primary currency in which they operate. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in China is their local currency, Chinese Yuan (“CYN”). For foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is their local currency, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity (deficit) is translated at the applicable historical exchange rate, and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. The effect of exchange rate changes resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiary financial statements is accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and currency translation adjustments have been immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents		Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value Measurements		Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement The accounting guidance for fair value measurement requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds. Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 instruments typically include U.S. government and agency debt securities, and corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained through market data of the investment itself as well as market transactions involving comparable assets, liabilities or funds. Level 3 Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial or nonfinancial asset or liability. ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Concentration of Risk		Concentration of Risk Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, restricted cash, notes receivables, and deposits. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and restricted cash is held at financial institutions located in the United States of America and in the People’s Republic of China. The Company maintains its cash and restricted cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash and restricted cash account balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits ($250 per depositor per institution) and China Deposit Insurance Regulations limits (CNY 500 per depositor per institution). Management believes the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and restricted cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and restricted cash. Cash and restricted cash held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries is subject to foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. Dollar. If, however, the U.S. Dollar is devalued significantly against the Chinese Yuan, the Company’s cost to develop its business in China could exceed original estimates. The Company has notes receivable of $0 and $40 and deposits of $63,370 and $6,412 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company receives certain components from sole suppliers. The inability of a supplier to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements could materially impact future operating results.
Property and Equipment, Net		Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the assets lives, are charged to operating expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and for leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets		Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an assets (or asset groups) may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets, including any cash flows upon their eventual disposition, to the assets carrying values. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are written down to their fair value. Assets classified as held for sale are also assessed for impairment and such amounts are determined at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell the asset. No Property and Equipment, Net
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders. Elements of the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) and consists of equity-related foreign currency translation adjustments, which are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Stock-Based Compensation		Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options granted to employees, directors and non-employees for the purchase of common stock. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation . The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For options with service conditions, the value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. For performance-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the expected performance achievement period of individual performance milestones when the achievement of each individual performance milestone becomes probable. Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and judgments, including, but not limited to the following: Expected term Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Dividend yield Forfeiture rate Fair value of common stock “Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation”

Convertible notes payable description

The BL Notes accrued interest at 12.75% per annum through January 31, 2021 and at 15.75% per annum thereafter. The BL Notes mature on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations pursuant to an event of default. Additionally, the BL Notes contain a liquidation premium that ranges from 35% to 45% depending on the timing of settlement with 50% of this premium convertible into equity and the lender is able to demand repayment if an event of default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. The Company determined that the feature to settle the BL Notes at a premium upon the occurrence of a default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger is a contingently exercisable put option with a liquidation premium and represents an embedded derivative. The Company elected the fair value option for this note payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the note payable was $20,972 as of December 31, 2020.

[1]On March 1, 2021, the Company amended the NPA to permit the issuance of additional notes payable with principal amounts up to $85,000. On the same day, the Company entered into notes payable agreements with Ares for an aggregate principal of $55,000, receiving net proceeds of $51,510, inclusive of a 4.00% original issue discount and $90 of debt issuance costs paid directly by the lender. The notes payable are collateralized by a first lien on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and bear interest at 14% per annum. The notes payable mature on March 1, 2022.[2]On June 9, 2021, the Company amended the NPA to permit the issuance of two notes payable, each with a principal value of $20,000 (“June 2021 Notes”), to a US-based investment firm. The Company received net proceeds of $35,603 as part of the June 2021 Notes inclusive of $4,200 of original issuance discount and $197 of debt issuance costs paid by the lender. The June 2021 Notes are subordinate to the notes payable issued to Ares on March 1, 2021 and August 26, 2021 (see (1) above) and senior in priority to the notes payable issued under the NPA prior to September 9, 2020. The June 2021 Notes mature on December 9, 2022, and do not bear interest unless extended beyond its maturity date by the US-based investment firm, in which case, the June 2021 Notes will bear interest at 10% per annum starting upon their original maturity. Each of the June 2021 Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 8% and 13%, respectively. One of the June 2021 Notes with a principal amount of $20,000 contains a conversion premium that, within a year of a Qualified SPAC Merger, the then outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes playable plus a 30% premium may convert into Class A Common Stock of the Company, at the election of the US-based investment firm.[3]The Company issued notes with various third parties through its operations in China.[4]On April 17, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from East West Bank of $9,168 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and provided for loans to qualifying businesses. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable so long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities, as described in the CARES Act. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the later of the first six months or when the amount of the loan forgiveness is determined. The Company used the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP requirements. The note matured on April 17, 2022, had no covenants, and was unsecured.[5]In January 2019, upon extinguishment of a portion of the Faraday and Future (HK) Limited related party notes payable, the Company borrowed $54,179 through notes payable from a Chinese lender. The notes payable originally matured on December 31, 2020, bore interest of 12.00% per annum, had no covenants, and were unsecured.[6]The Company issued 10% interest notes with various third parties through the NPA. Notes payable issued under the NPA are collateralized by virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Upon both a preferred stock offering and prepayment notice by the holder or the maturity date of the notes payable, the holder of the notes payable may elect to convert all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes payable plus a 20% premium into shares of preferred stock of the Company issued in a preferred stock offering. The Company elected the fair value option for these notes payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into the Second A&R NPA with Birch Lake and the lender, which extended the maturity dates of all NPA notes to the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations pursuant to an event of default, as defined in the NPA, as amended.[7]The Company issued the following notes with an interest rate of 12.00% per annum.[8]On September 9, 2020, the Company issued $15,000 of secured convertible promissory notes to a US-based investment firm by entering into a joinder to the NPA, received net proceeds of $13,800, inclusive of an 8% original issue discount. The senior convertible promissory notes bore interest at 0%. The NPA notes mature on the earliest of (i) March 9, 2022, (ii) the Vendor Trust maturity date (See Note 11, Vendor Payables in Trust), as amended, (iii) the maturity of any First Out NPA Notes, which include the notes with Birch Lake and FF Ventures (“First Out Notes”), or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA notes payable pursuant to an event of default.[9]On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Second A&R NPA with Birch Lake borrowing $15,000 in secured convertible notes payable (“BL Notes”). The BL Notes accrued interest at 12.75% per annum through January 31, 2021 and at 15.75% per annum thereafter. The BL Notes mature on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations pursuant to an event of default. Additionally, the BL Notes contain a liquidation premium that ranges from 35% to 45% depending on the timing of settlement with 50% of this premium convertible into equity and the lender is able to demand repayment if an event of default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. The Company determined that the feature to settle the BL Notes at a premium upon the occurrence of a default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger is a contingently exercisable put option with a liquidation premium and represents an embedded derivative. The Company elected the fair value option for this note payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the note payable was $20,972 as of December 31, 2020.

[1]In January 2019, upon extinguishment of a portion of the Faraday and Future (HK) Limited related party notes payable, the Company borrowed $54,179 through notes payable from a Chinese lender. The notes payable originally matured on December 31, 2020, bore interest of 12.00% per annum, had no covenants, and were unsecured.[2]The Company issued the following notes with an interest rate of 12.00% per annum.[3]The Company issued 10% interest notes with various third parties through the NPA. Notes payable issued under the NPA are collateralized by virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Upon both a preferred stock offering and prepayment notice by the holder or the maturity date of the notes payable, the holder of the notes payable may elect to convert all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes payable plus a 20% premium into shares of preferred stock of the Company issued in a preferred stock offering. The Company elected the fair value option for these notes payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into the Second A&R NPA with Birch Lake and the lender, which extended the maturity dates of all NPA notes to the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations pursuant to an event of default, as defined in the NPA, as amended.[4]The Company issued notes with various third parties through its operations in China.[5]On September 9, 2020, the Company issued $15,000 of secured convertible promissory notes to a US-based investment firm by entering into a joinder to the NPA, received net proceeds of $13,800, inclusive of an 8% original issue discount. The senior convertible promissory notes bore interest at 0%. The NPA notes mature on the earliest of (i) March 9, 2022, (ii) the Vendor Trust maturity date (See Note 11, Vendor Payables in Trust), as amended, (iii) the maturity of any First Out NPA Notes, which include the notes with Birch Lake and FF Ventures (“First Out Notes”), or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA notes payable pursuant to an event of default.[6]On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Second A&R NPA with Birch Lake borrowing $15,000 in secured convertible notes payable (“BL Notes”). The BL Notes accrued interest at 12.75% per annum through January 31, 2021 and at 15.75% per annum thereafter. The BL Notes mature on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations pursuant to an event of default. Additionally, the BL Notes contain a liquidation premium that ranges from 35% to 45% depending on the timing of settlement with 50% of this premium convertible into equity and the lender is able to demand repayment if an event of default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. The Company determined that the feature to settle the BL Notes at a premium upon the occurrence of a default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger is a contingently exercisable put option with a liquidation premium and represents an embedded derivative. The Company elected the fair value option for this note payable. See Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the note payable was $20,972 as of December 31, 2020.[7]On April 17, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from East West Bank of $9,168 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and provided for loans to qualifying businesses. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable so long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities, as described in the CARES Act. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the later of the first six months or when the amount of the loan forgiveness is determined. The Company used the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP requirements. The note matured on April 17, 2022, had no covenants, and was unsecured.
