Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business and Organization Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “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 (the “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”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), 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 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 Company operates in a single operating segment and designs and engineers next-generation, intelligent, 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. 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 (the “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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period's presentation. Revision As previously disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the findings of the Special Committee Investigation, the Company found misclassifications in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting in an overstatement of interest expense and understatement of related party interest expense of $687 and $1,369, respectively. The misstatements did not affect any subtotals or totals on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company concluded that such misstatements were not material to the previously issued financial statements, however, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been revised to correct for these misstatements. 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 and notes payable; (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 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Income Tax The Company recorded an income tax provision of $9 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $3 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, 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 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. As of June 30, 2022, the 2017 through 2021 federal returns and 2017 through 2021 state returns are open to examination. 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. The Company did not accrue any interest or penalties related to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as of June 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 Condenses 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 (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”), which outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model that supersedes the previous lease guidance. The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements , which provides the option of an additional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective basis and recorded operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) of $11,191 and operating lease liabilities of $11,191 on that date. As part of this adoption, the Company reclassified the deferred gain related to a previous sale and leaseback of $3,393 to accumulated deficit. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842 which does not require reassessment of initial direct costs, reassessment of the classification of leases as operating or financing, or reassessment of the definition of a lease (see Note 10, Leases ). Finance lease liabilities and related property and equipment assets did not change as a result of the adoption of this standard. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in ASC 470- 20, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options , for convertible instruments. The ASU updates the guidance on certain embedded conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, such that those features are no longer required to be separated from the host contract. The convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Further, the ASU made amendments to the earnings per share guidance in Topic 260 for convertible instruments, the most significant impact of which is requiring the use of the if-converted method for the diluted EPS calculation, and no longer allowing the net share settlement method. The ASU also made revisions to Topic 815-40, which provides guidance on how an entity must determine whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. The amendments to Topic 815-40 change the scope of contracts that are recognized as assets or liabilities. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 on a modified retrospective basis and reclassified the Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock of $12,635 from Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and reclassified $20,265 from Accumulated deficit to Commitment to issue Class A Common Stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). The ASU clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU made amendments to the earnings per share guidance in Topic 260 for an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. Further, the ASU made amendments to the Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments guidance in Topic 470-50. The ASU also added references to revised guidance within Topic 505 and 718. Additionally, the ASU made additions to Topic 815-40 related to the issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2022. There was an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2021-04.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Liquidity and Capital Resources	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 Company’s business plan contemplates that it will begin deliveries of the FF 91 in the third or fourth quarter of 2022, with testing, validation, and certification also completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2022. In order to fund its ongoing operations and business plan, including to launch the FF 91, FF is seeking to raise additional capital from various fundraising efforts currently underway to supplement its cash on hand of $120,585 as of June 30, 2022. Although the Company has taken steps to preserve its cash position, including reducing spending, extending payment cycles and other similar measures, it projects that it will require additional funds by early September 2022 in order to continue operations, and will also need to raise additional financing during the remainder of 2022 and beyond 2022 to 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 $3,219,308 as of June 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 and Note 9, Notes Payable ), the sale of Preferred and Common Stock (see Note 12, Stockholders' Equity ) and the net proceeds received from the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing (see Note 3, 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 June 30, 2022, the Company was in default on a related party note payable with a principal amount of $8,940. In January 2022, the Company defaulted on the Optional Notes (see Note 9, Notes Payable ). The holders of the Optional Notes have waived the default. 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.

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. As of June 30, 2022, 20,264,715 shares of Class A Common Stock remain unissued. 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. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company issued 20,264,715 shares of Class A Common Stock related to the commitment to issue shares. As of August 1, 2022, there are no shares of Class A Common Stock that have not been issued related to the commitment to issue shares. 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , which defines a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relate to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value 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 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 . Fair value measurements associated with the warrant liabilities, and notes payable represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy. Notes Payable at Fair Value The Company has elected to measure certain 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, Notes Payable ). The Company used a binomial lattice model to value the notes payable issued on June 9, 2021 and August 10, 2021 to a US-based investment firm. A binomial lattice model is widely used for valuing convertible notes. The significant assumptions used in the binomial lattice model include the risk-free rate, annual dividend yield, expected life, and volatility of the Company's stock. The fair value adjustments related to warrant liabilities and 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. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s registration statement covering these shares is not effective. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022. On July 21, 2022, the Company amended its agreement with the service provider to permit the delivery of 2,387,500 unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of its obligation. The shares were issued on July 22, 2022. 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: June 30, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Notes payable $ — $ — $ 68,199 Private Warrants — — 316 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.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	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. The incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized loan for a similar asset over a similar term. The Company’s leases do not include any material residual value guarantees, bargain purchase options, or asset retirement obligations. To the extent that the Company’s agreements have variable lease payments, the Company includes variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and excludes those that depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Amortization of right-of-use assets on finance leases is recorded on a straight-line basis within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest expense incurred on finance lease liabilities is recorded in Interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. Additionally, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components. Operating leases are included in Right of use assets, Operating leases liabilities, current portion and Operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Finance lease liabilities, current portion, and Finance lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s lease arrangements consist primarily of corporate office, store, equipment, and vehicle lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2032, some of which include options to extend the lease term for additional 5 years periods.

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. The incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized loan for a similar asset over a similar term. The Company’s leases do not include any material residual value guarantees, bargain purchase options, or asset retirement obligations. To the extent that the Company’s agreements have variable lease payments, the Company includes variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and excludes those that depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Amortization of right-of-use assets on finance leases is recorded on a straight-line basis within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest expense incurred on finance lease liabilities is recorded in Interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. Additionally, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components. Operating leases are included in Right of use assets, Operating leases liabilities, current portion and Operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Finance lease liabilities, current portion, and Finance lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s lease arrangements consist primarily of corporate office, store, equipment, and vehicle lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2032, some of which include options to extend the lease term for additional 5 years periods.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	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 and its current Chief Executive Officer, its current Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer, as well as the two former CFOs of the Company (one of which is also the former 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. On July 5, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company believes the suit is without merit and 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, 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 current 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued contingent liabilities of $14,808 and $16,881, respectively, within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 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. During the six months ending June 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. 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 and amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258993) (the “Special Committee Investigation”). 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 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. Many of such individuals were not 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 Jerry Wang, and withholding of information also affected the remedial action taken with respect to Matthias Aydt. 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: • 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; • 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. 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. 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; • 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). 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 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. 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

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation 2021 SI Plan In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“2021 SI Plan”). The 2021 SI Plan allows the Board of Directors to grant up to 49,573,570 incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, and other stock-based awards for the Company’s Class A Common Stock to employees, directors, and non-employees. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock available under the 2021 SI Plan will increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2022, and continuing until (and including) the calendar year ending December 31, 2031. Annual increases are equal to the lesser of (i) 5 percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors. As of the effective date of the 2021 SI Plan, no further stock awards have been or will be granted under the EI Plan or STI Plan. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 45,310,505 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future issuance under its 2021 SI Plan. A summary of the Company’s stock option activity under the SI Plan is as follows: Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 — Granted 4,347,492 5.15 Exercised — Cancelled/forfeited (84,427) 5.32 Outstanding as of June 30, 2022 4,263,065 $ 5.15 9.55 $ — The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows: Risk-free interest rate: 1.61 % Expected term (in years): 7.01 Expected volatility: 43.50 % Dividend yield: 0.00 % As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining stock-based compensation expense for unvested stock options was $5,022, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.58 years. EI Plan On February 1, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (“EI Plan”), under which the Board of Directors authorized the grant of up to 42,390,000 incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards for Legacy FF’s Class A Ordinary Stock to employees, directors, and non-employees.

Net Loss per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss per Share	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 six months ended June 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. The following table presents the number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as of the following dates: June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Stock-based compensation awards – SI Plan 4,263,065 — Stock-based compensation awards – EI Plan 28,211,821 31,125,216 Stock-based compensation awards – STI Plan 8,255,472 9,285,845 Public Warrants 22,977,568 — Private Warrants 674,551 — Other warrants 4,544,258 3,357,175 Convertible notes payable 9,009,166 9,009,166 Total 77,935,901 52,777,402

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Other than as described below and in Note 3, Business Combination and Note 7, Fair Value of Financial Instruments , the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Amended ATW Convertible Notes On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Amendment”) with FF Aventuras SPV XI, LLC, FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC, FF Ventures SPV IX LLC and FF Venturas SPV X LLC, 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 certain existing convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) held by the Investors with a combined original aggregate principal amount of approximately $73.9 million. The Notes were issued in 2021 to the Investors pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “NPA”), among certain subsidiaries of the Company and guarantors party thereto, U.S. Bank National Association, as the notes agent, Birch Lake Fund Management, LP, as the collateral agent, and the note purchasers party thereto. Pursuant to the Amendment: (a) the maturity date of each of the 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 Notes was adjusted to equal the lesser of (x) $10.00, (y) 95% of the per share daily volume weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date and (z) the lowest effective price per share of 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 Notes is equal to the lesser of (i) the Set Price, and (ii) 92% of the lowest of the VWAPs during the seven (7) trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date; (c) a “forced conversion” feature was added to each of the 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 Notes, up to $35 million principal amount of the Notes less any principal amount of the Notes voluntarily converted by the holder thereof after July 26, 2022, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Amendment; (d) the date by which the Investors must exercise their option to purchase additional “Subordinated Intermediate Last Out Optional Notes” 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 million 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 million 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. New ATW Financing On August 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC, an affiliate of ATW Partners LLC, and in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain purchasers, including FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (collectively with additional purchasers from time to time party thereto, the “Purchasers”), to issue and sell $52 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes, in each case upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, in multiple tranches, as follows: $27 million initially (the “Initial Bridge Notes”); $10 million on the 20th business day following the closing of the Initial Bridge Notes (the “Second Bridge Notes”); and $15 million (the “Third Bridge Notes” and with the Initial Bridge Notes and the Second Bridge Notes, the “Bridge Notes”) on or prior to October 11, 2022. Under the SPA, the Company is permitted to obtain incremental senior secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $248 million within 90 days after the closing of the Initial Bridge Notes, which incremental senior secured notes have not been committed by any additional Purchasers as of the date hereof (the “Incremental Notes” and together with the Bridge Notes, the “New Notes”). The Company is in active discussions with several potential additional Purchasers of the New Notes and other debt and equity investments in the Company, but there is no assurance that any additional New Notes will be issued under the SPA. The New Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.69 (or $2.2865 for the Initial Bridge Notes and up to an additional $31 million of additional New Notes to the extent committed on or prior to August 17, 2022 and funded on or prior to August 19, 2022), plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the New Notes, subject to customary adjustments, including full ratchet anti-dilution protection. The shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes are not transferable for six months without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The New Notes are secured by the grant of a first priority perfected lien upon substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as guaranty by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The New Notes mature on August 15, 2026 or earlier under certain conditions set forth in the SPA. The New Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, provided that, subject to certain conditions set forth in the SPA, the Company may elect to pay such interest in Company Class A common stock if the Company also pays the Purchasers an additional cash interest payment equal to 5% per annum. Except in the case of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to the SPA, if any of the New Notes are prepaid, repaid, reduced, refinanced, or replaced in whole or in part prior to the August 15, 2026 maturity date, then the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a “Premium Percentage” in an amount ranging from 0% to 10% of the principal amount of such Note(s) as determined in accordance with a schedule set forth in the SPA. Pursuant to the SPA, each Purchaser that then owns at least $25 million principal amount of New Notes (when aggregated with any affiliates of such Purchaser) shall have customary preemptive rights to participate in any future financing by the Company as provided in the SPA. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) financial viability exception pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5653(f) for the issuance of the Bridge Notes as soon as possible following the signing of the SPA. As a closing condition under the SPA for funding of each of the Bridge Notes, the Company is required to deliver to each of the Purchasers a warrant (a “Warrant”) registered in the name of such Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to 33% of such shares issuable to such Purchaser upon conversion of the Note, with an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share, subject to customary weighted average anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven years on a cash or cashless basis. The Company may repurchase the Warrants for $0.01 per Warrant share if and to the extent the volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Class A common stock during 20 of out 30 trading days prior to the repurchase is greater than $15.00 per share, subject to certain additional conditions. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to efforts to (i) file, within 90 calendar days of the date of the SPA or as soon as practicable thereafter, a registration statement on the appropriate form providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the New Notes, (ii) cause such registration statement to become effective within 180 days following the date of the SPA and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement at all times until each Purchaser no longer owns any Warrants or New Notes or shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof. Each Purchaser has the option, from time to time for 12 months after the effective date of the aforementioned registration statement, to purchase additional senior secured convertible notes (referred to as “Tranche B Notes”) and Warrants of the Company on the same terms as the Incremental Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed the initial principal amount of the Bridge Notes and Incremental Notes issued to such Purchaser, subject to certain conditions.

Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	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.
Basis of Presentation	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 (the “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	Reclassification The Company reclassified certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period's presentation.
Revision	Revision As previously disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the findings of the Special Committee Investigation, the Company found misclassifications in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting in an overstatement of interest expense and understatement of related party interest expense of $687 and $1,369, respectively. The misstatements
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 and notes payable; (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 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax	Income Tax The Company recorded an income tax provision of $9 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $3 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, 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 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. As of June 30, 2022, the 2017 through 2021 federal returns and 2017 through 2021 state returns are open to examination. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”), which outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model that supersedes the previous lease guidance. The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements , which provides the option of an additional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective basis and recorded operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) of $11,191 and operating lease liabilities of $11,191 on that date. As part of this adoption, the Company reclassified the deferred gain related to a previous sale and leaseback of $3,393 to accumulated deficit. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842 which does not require reassessment of initial direct costs, reassessment of the classification of leases as operating or financing, or reassessment of the definition of a lease (see Note 10, Leases ). Finance lease liabilities and related property and equipment assets did not change as a result of the adoption of this standard. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in ASC 470- 20, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options , for convertible instruments. The ASU updates the guidance on certain embedded conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, such that those features are no longer required to be separated from the host contract. The convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Further, the ASU made amendments to the earnings per share guidance in Topic 260 for convertible instruments, the most significant impact of which is requiring the use of the if-converted method for the diluted EPS calculation, and no longer allowing the net share settlement method. The ASU also made revisions to Topic 815-40, which provides guidance on how an entity must determine whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. The amendments to Topic 815-40 change the scope of contracts that are recognized as assets or liabilities. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 on a modified retrospective basis and reclassified the Obligation to issue registered shares of Class A Common Stock of $12,635 from Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and reclassified $20,265 from Accumulated deficit to Commitment to issue Class A Common Stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). The ASU clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU made amendments to the earnings per share guidance in Topic 260 for an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. Further, the ASU made amendments to the Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments guidance in Topic 470-50. The ASU also added references to revised guidance within Topic 505 and 718. Additionally, the ASU made additions to Topic 815-40 related to the issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2022. There was an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2021-04.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , which defines a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relate to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value 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 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.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders	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 ).
