Sampson's departure isn't the only notable departure in recent days, either. On Monday, Peter Savagian, the company's SVP of technology and product development, also left the company.

"FF is requiring certain employees to take an unpaid leave of absence (furlough) for the months of November and December and is offering other employees the option of taking the furlough for the same period of time," Faraday Future said in an emailed statement. "This was an extremely tough decision to make, and we recognize the emotional stress and financial strain this puts on people's personal lives. We are grateful to all of the hundreds of employees who are willing to stay and continue to work on the FF 91 core project, as well as those who will be on a temporary furlough." The company also confirmed both recent departures.
