Okay, I think that we're getting a long-term arc clue or two here.
Faye's resentment towards May and Sam is potentially quite toxic and she's going to have to face up to that at some point. It may be for different reasons but, ultimately, it's about selfish things and things that are only marginally her business (Sam being a local pop culture trend for however long it takes until the Next Big Thing arrives) and May is just trying to be the girl's friend. However, it all links to some of Faye's worse personal characteristics. She can be immature, petty and possessive and these things can cause lots of problems.
The other arc is that I suspect Faye is going to make it her 'project' to help May get fully on her feet. Initially, the motive is selfish ("She'll stop hanging around here") but , in time, she'll genuinely want the girl to escape the trap she got it by being an idiot, something she now deeply regrets.

They've said "forever", so fiancee is closer.
Since they've exchanged vows and live together it could be considered a common-law marriage.

If memory serves, that additionally requires cohabiting for at least two years. Where are we with that in in-comic time?

Wait, there's a time-limit now? Not just a formal declaration of intent? Since when?
FWIW, Faye and Bubbles have only ever used the term 'girlfriend', so I consider that the right description to use.

Note that they do custom work as well, like Millefeuille's new buttocks. Which ties in nicely with them also hosting Sam's business.

Theres a market for aftermarket repair for automobiles in real life. A lot of shops specialize in a single type of repair, like an auto body shop or an a/c shop, or a single type of vehicle, for example theres a mechanic near me that specializes in European import repair (Mercedes, BMW, etc.) Hell, a shop like Subieworks specializes in repair and modification for a single brand of car, and I'd sooner go to them for something like a transmission rebuild than the dealer, because the dealer shop is going to tell me that my car has been out of warranty for ten years and then tell me they cant rebuild the thing, only replace it, and it'll cost me $5000 instead of $1500.
That was more than I needed to type; I guess my point is that most people can't afford to always have a car with a warranty and there's no reason to assume AI chassis would be different. That's all ignoring the modification scene, the desire for which would be even higher if we're talking about people's physical bodies rather than cars. There's also the cases of draconian warranty terms, like Roko turning off Whoopsieguard (tm) voiding her warranty.

I figure it would be more like a watermelon than a soda can.
