<ul>
<li>Fardaday Future (FF) announced it lined up at least $100m in funding from two investors but gave little detail. Deal is set to close on or before August 8th. </li>
<li>Given that it's a senior secured convert deal, we doubt more than $100m-$200m can be raised, despite FF's release saying the deal has capacity for $600m.</li>
<li>FF only had $222m in cash in April after -$173m in FCF in Q1. They need $1bn to last through 2023. Anything less than $600m in funding would be negative.</li>

<li>EV start-up Faraday Future released their delayed Q1 2022 results &amp; had some hair-raising disclosures on their first-ever earnings call. </li>
