Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFAI) stock gained on Friday after it announced that its FX Super One completed the first round of U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) development tests for occupant protection in upper interior impact scenarios.

The results matched project expectations at this stage.

The FMVSS No. 201 tests evaluate how well a vehicle protects occupants’ heads during contact with interior structures such as A-pillars, B-pillars, and roof trim areas.

Engineers used a Free Motion Head form (FMH) to measure Head Injury Criterion (HIC) scores at multiple regulation-defined points and additional locations to reinforce Faraday’s commitment to safety.

Meanwhile, Faraday Future continues trial production of the FX Super One at its Hanford, California, facility. The program emphasizes process planning, operational verification, and quality training as the company prepares for full production. Comprehensive engineering, safety validation, and vehicle development will follow.

Unveiled in Los Angeles on July 17, the FX Super One features Faraday’s Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem) and FF EAI Embodied AI Agent 6×4 Architecture. Positioned as an EAI-MPV, the vehicle targets luxury market leaders like the Cadillac Escalade, aiming to redefine mobility through intelligent design and AI integration.

Faraday Future stock lost over 9% year-to-date as it grappled with severe financial and operational challenges. However, it remains engaged in a host of activities to drive value.

The company launched its “EAI + Crypto” Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Strategy at Pebble Beach, aiming to merge AI mobility with Web3. The plan introduces the C10 Index of top crypto assets and the FFAI C10 Treasury, targeting $500 million–$1 billion in crypto purchases to fund innovation, buybacks, and balance sheet strength.

The company also announced the EAI Vehicle Chain, designed to enable tokenized car sales, crypto deposits, and Web3-native engagement.
