La startup californiana de coches el\u00e9ctricos Faraday Future, en crisis, planea una reestructuraci\u00f3n integral. El consejero delegado, Jia Yueting, dejar\u00e1 su cargo para salvar la empresa y pagar sus deudas.<\/p>\n
Jia Yueting est\u00e1 intentando saldar tanto sus deudas personales como las de la empresa mediante la creaci\u00f3n de un fondo fiduciario. Seg\u00fan pandaily.com<\/em>, el fondo fiduciario se financiar\u00e1 con las acciones de Jia en Faraday Future. Esto deber\u00eda proporcionarle a \u00e9l y a la empresa el dinero suficiente para pagar la deuda, de la que ha declarado p\u00fablicamente que asumir\u00e1 toda la responsabilidad.<\/p>\n La ya vol\u00e1til historia de Faraday Future<\/a> se enriquece as\u00ed con otro cap\u00edtulo un tanto confuso. No parece claro c\u00f3mo convencer\u00e1 la startup a los inversores y accionistas tras algunas disputas muy p\u00fablicas, sobre todo con su principal financiador, Evergrande, y la venta de la sede de Los \u00c1ngeles.\u00a0Evergrande<\/a>El ascenso estelar de Faraday Future en la industria de los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos comenz\u00f3 en un terreno muy inestable: Aunque la acuerdo inicial<\/a> valorada en la friolera de 2.000 millones de d\u00f3lares no se resolvi\u00f3 hasta julio del a\u00f1o pasado, las dos empresas entraron r\u00e1pidamente en disputa.<\/p>\n Evergrande acus\u00f3 a Faraday Future de manipularla para que pagara 800 millones de d\u00f3lares estadounidenses por adelantado y luego pidiera m\u00e1s, mientras que el fabricante de autom\u00f3viles dijo que Evergrande estaba frenando deliberadamente la inversi\u00f3n para matar de hambre a la empresa<\/a> con el fin de obtener su propiedad intelectual. Los empleados de Faraday incluso se volvi\u00f3 hacia<\/a> crowdfunding para mantener la empresa a flote. En diciembre del a\u00f1o pasado, Evergrande dijo que aceptaba reestructurar su compromiso de inversi\u00f3n en Faraday Future, y ambas partes acordaron retirar todas las acusaciones mutuas. Hasta la fecha, Evergrande ha invertido 800 millones de d\u00f3lares estadounidenses en Faraday Future y ahora posee una participaci\u00f3n de 31% en la empresa, pero no realizar\u00e1 m\u00e1s inversiones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La startup californiana de coches el\u00e9ctricos Faraday Future, sumida en una crisis, planea una profunda reestructuraci\u00f3n.

At Faraday Futures, Krause had recruited<\/a> potential investors who said they would only invest if controversial Chinese investor Jia Yueting would be willing to loosen its ties with the company. Jia Yueting was not, and in late 2017, Krause \u2013 a former BMW executive \u2013 left Faraday Future to found Evoluzity, now called Canoo<\/a>.\u00a0Krause’s financing talents were thus lost to Faraday Future and devoted to the new startup where he was able to secure 1 billion dollars in funding<\/a>. Even having left the company Krause’s startup efforts were hampered by a rather belligerent and famously difficult Jia Yueting, who accused Krause and other former Faraday Futures employees of stealing secrets<\/a> from their former employer. Now Jia Yueting is doing what Krause suggested back in 2017. It remains to be seen if Jia’s resignation should enable the company to revive itself.<\/p>\n Those hoping to buy Faraday’s electric SUV will have to wait a while at least. According to pandaily<\/em>, the startup still needs close to $500 million to put the FF91 into production. At the same time, the company will have to contend with the lawsuits from suppliers and contractors that are piling up \u2013 at least 11 companies are individually suing the Faraday Future for a total of more than $80 million worth of unpaid bills.<\/p>\n It is possible that a well-known name in a joint venture may help to rebuild Faraday Future’s reputation. The most recent reports indicate that Faraday Future is also likely to partner with another company but further details have not yet emerged on this front.<\/p>\n
