Faraday Future Announces Pinnacle Real Estate Group President Calvin Gong Takes Delivery of His New FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance at a Co-Creation Ceremony held in Bradbury, CA, Exploring Synergies between Real Estate, Mobility and Crypto Industries

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, announced today that it held a “Drive Home Together” co-creation ceremony for Calvin Gong, the newest FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance owner. The delivery took place in Bradbury, California, on October 8 and was attended by FF leadership, Including FF Founder and Global Co-CEO YT Jia and FX Global CEO Xaio (Max) Ma. Other guests included fashion model and designer Suede Brooks, who is also an FF 91 2.0 user and Developer Co-Creation Officer for the Company.

Calvin Gong is the President of Pinnacle Real Estate Group, one of the largest Chinese-American real estate brokerages in Southern California.

“Calvin is our first Co-Creation Officer since we announced the “EAI + Crypto” Dual Flywheel & Dual Bridge Eco-Strategy, making this moment especially meaningful,” said YT Jia. “Our Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales model goes beyond selling cars, it’s about user acquisition, user co-creation, and user operations. Together with Calvin and Pinnacle, FF and FX are looking forward to building a value co-creation and sharing ecosystem that connects real estate, mobility, AI, and crypto.”

In June 2025, Faraday Future also signed a deposit agreement with Pinnacle Real Estate Group for the FX Super One, the Company’s new first class EAI-MPV. This agreement includes a non-refundable deposit and non-binding reservations for 1,000 units of the FX Super One.

This collaboration marks a first-of-its-kind global innovation: a “B2B2C” business model that brings together the AIEV and real estate sectors in a shared ecosystem. The initiative leverages Pinnacle’s expansive real estate footprint to unlock powerful synergies between smart mobility and lifestyle. Pinnacle and Calvin Gong are paid co-creation partners.

Headquartered in Southern California, Pinnacle Real Estate Group operates three branches with a total of more than 1,000 real estate agents. Its business spans a broad range of services — from residential and luxury home sales to commercial real estate investment, financing, and property management.

“I’m thrilled to become the latest FF 91 2.0 user and Co-Creation Officer for FF and can’t wait to not only get behind the wheel of this amazing vehicle but also proud to be leading the way with Faraday Future in our unique cross-industry collaboration,” said Calvin Gong. “This partnership represents a powerful new approach to how people experience both real estate and mobility.”
