Faraday Future Live Event

Do they all have to spend an inordinate amount of time parroting nearly incomprehensible jargon? Ugh. I listened to a LeEco presentation a few months ago and it was nearly just as insufferable.

Ooo "backseat experience"

The chat comments on the youtube video are hilarious. Oh, and how did I miss this being a car in production already............come on Pete, it's not the fastest production car out now........

This all would be great if it was $30K.

 

[techmaven]

They do seem to have added quite a bit of whiz bang features. But I have to wonder at the cost.

 

[ggies07]

Chelsea is killing it. hahaha

And...speaker #4. Nearly 1 hour in. Richard Kim, VP of Design. Had to happen eventually... 0.25 cD. So...Toyota Prius.

Ok, overall I actually like this better than the retro-style Atieva Air. The utility might be a lot better too.

But they need to drop the Apple-inspired presentation style. It's played out. Do people still want to listen to Jony Ive technobabble?

I think the side mirror idea is nice to future proof the car, I'd love to get rid of the mirrors on my car.

Aaaannndd... I'm out. I don't like Elon's stage presence, but at least it seems honest. This seems some kind of polished snake oil presentation. Given that I wanted to like this, I am not sure what rubbing me the wrong way, exactly. Just seems hinky.

 

[hockeythug]

Epic fail. Can't wait for next years CES presentation.

 

[jsrawa]

FAIL, what a sham.

 

[Zoltrix77]

That's embarrassing.

This thing reminds me of the Homer, how much will this thing cost? Does the world really need all this wizbang stuff immediately?

Elon's stage presence undoubtedly leaves something to be desired but I interpret it to be a brilliant man on stage not a showman. This on the other hand is a disaster in all regards.

"What if I told you there is an app on the market"

Yeah. I'm thinking this might be a $200k+ car...

 

[techmaven]

Well, this might have been Tesla is some way if Elon had started with a lot more money. It makes the Model X gimmickry not seem too bad.

They didn't explain in the 91 in the FF 91 did they? What is this anthropomorphic BS?

 

[jsrawa]

Yeah. I'm thinking this might be a $200k+ car...

Ill guess starting $149k with different "ownership models" which they have alluded to. Whatever that means.

 

[pmadflyer]

Everything about this is terrible. I want companies that make BEVs look serious. This is not that!

 

[Dithermaster]

Something tells me that by the time it ships, Model S/X will be faster <g>. Tesla loves a challenge.

 

[hockeythug]

Is this really the first time the CEO has seen the car?
