An electric car company that delivered about sixteen vehicles — ever — just launched nine humanoid and quadruped robots with public prices from $9,990 to $137,900. We audited the strangest robot launch of the year, line by line.
7:40 — the complete film audio plus the companion postscript, attached to this post.
On September 19, 2026, Faraday Future held its annual 919 launch event in Los Angeles and rolled out nine new embodied-AI robot configurations across five models — humanoids and quadrupeds priced from $9,990 to $137,900, on sale now through FF.com, Amazon, and RobotShop. Eleven days later, this film drops.
9 robots. Full prices, right on the page. And the company selling them has built sixteen cars — total. The strangest robot launch of the year. Let’s audit it.
The by-the-numbers check. Faraday Future claims 552 robots shipped through August — unverified. Longest published runtime: 8 hours on the Futurist — under quote, standard conditions.
The 552 figure comes from the company itself — Faraday Future’s own September 17, 2026 release says cumulative EAI robot sales and shipments reached 552 units by end of August, since deliveries began in February. No independent source confirms it. Claimed, not verified.
September 19, 2026, Los Angeles. Nine new AI devices across five models, plus four industry solutions. The company says they’re all on sale now — FF.com, Amazon, RobotShop.
The price ladder is the story. $9,990 for the Master Mini. $137,900 for the Aegis Hyper. Nobody in humanoids has published prices this aggressive. Confidence or desperation?
The flagship: the all-new Futurist. 51 degrees of freedom — 71 with the upgraded hand. $89,900 standard, $129,900 Ultra. The most articulated humanoid ever listed for sale — if the number holds.
Power: a 1,152 watt-hour dual battery, about 8 hours — under standard conditions. No payload figure. No task profile. Claimed autonomous charging — the robot docks itself. Claimed.
The Ultra’s brain: Nvidia Jetson Thor, 700 TOPS. Serious edge compute. At $129,900, it’s the priciest humanoid on the public market. Allegedly the most capable. We’ll see.
Every number with its source, or the gap shown honestly. That’s the whole channel.
SUBSCRIBE TO NEXARAUBOTICSThe other end: the Master Mini. 95 centimeters, 19.5 kilos, for classrooms. 48 to 200 TOPS. $9,990 — a humanoid for the price of a used car.
The AI Insider notes the three Master Mini versions run 48, 117, or 200 TOPS and range from $9,990 to $17,990 — North America’s first compact embodied-AI humanoid under $10,000, per the company.
The quadrupeds. Aegis Mega: $74,990, 50-kilo payload, climbs 25-centimeter stairs, 5 hours unloaded. Hyper: $137,900. Classic: $12,990.
Spec detail, per The AI Insider (September 21, 2026): the Mega carries up to 50 kilograms, clears 25-centimeter stairs and 80-centimeter obstacles, and runs at least 5 hours unloaded on hot-swappable dual batteries. The Hyper is built for extreme environments and high-risk operations — thermal imaging, gas detection, 3D scanning payloads. Every figure is company-sourced.
The company asking you to wire a hundred and thirty thousand dollars for a robot has delivered about sixteen cars. Ever.
Impressive spec sheet. Now the other half of the audit. The company asking you to wire $130,000 for a robot has delivered about 16 cars. Ever.
The receipts. The FF 91: production March 2023, six years late. That year: 4 sold, 6 leased. Revenue: $784,000 — on a $309,000 car costing over $4 million apiece to build.
The 2023 numbers check out: production began March 2023, first deliveries August 2023 — six years after the original 2018 target — with 4 sold and 6 leased for the year, $784,000 in automotive revenue against $42.6 million in auto sales cost. And InsideEVs put total FF 91 sales at just 16 vehicles since production started.
The balance sheet: Q1 2026 revenue, $512,000. Operating loss, nearly $36 million. Update — recorded September 29. Faraday just signed a term sheet for AIxC to acquire its robotics business at a $200M valuation, all stock. AIxC becomes FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem — ticker FFR — live today. The stock jumped 53% after hours. It’s non-binding, so it may not close. But the robot business you just watched may soon trade on its own ticker. Remember this when you read “available for delivery.”
The Q1 2026 figures are confirmed: $512,000 in revenue against a $35.9 million operating loss. Days before the 919 event, the company also warned the SEC of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The update checks out: Faraday Future’s own September 29, 2026 release confirms the non-binding term sheet with AIxC (soon FFR) for the robotics business at an approximate $200M all-stock valuation — and notes the deal may not close.
The gap, stated plainly. No independent teardown of any Faraday robot exists. No third-party benchmark. Every number here is company-sourced. Independent verification: zero.
552 units? Company-reported, through August, covering the earlier lineup too. Sold and shipped is not deployed and working. This channel counts logged hours — not press releases.
As of September 28, 2026: no independent teardown, no third-party benchmark, no verified customer deployment of any Faraday Future robot exists in the public record. The company’s 919 update describes the ecosystem in detail — but every performance number in this film traces back to Faraday Future itself.
The strategy: Four-Core Full-Stack AI. Not just robots — skills packages, industry solutions, RoboShare rentals. The hardware is the razor. The software and services are the blade.
Credit where due: humanoids with public prices, on Amazon today — a genuine milestone. Two years ago these were lab demos. This price list drags the industry toward transparency. Sunlight is the point of this channel.
The ecosystem framing is the company’s own: a “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem with a 6+1 direct-sales and RoboShare rental network — including a RoboShare MOU with U.S. rental platform Hifivebot, per TipRanks.

Accountability. Three predictions, dated. One: by December 26, 2026, reported shipments stay under 2,500. Two: no independent Futurist teardown exists by then.
By December 26, 2026, Faraday Future’s reported robot shipments stay under 2,500 units — against its own 2,000-unit full-year target and the 552 claimed through August.
No independent teardown of the All-New Futurist exists by December 26, 2026.
Three: by December 26, another financing round is announced — $512,000 of quarterly revenue doesn’t fund a robot company. We grade all three on camera.

Three claims. Ninety days. We grade them.
9 robots, priced to move, from a company still proving it can manufacture. Bold spec sheet. Brutal balance sheet.
