They also gave us a side shot into it with both doors open - it appeared to have a four seat configuration and what looked like wine glasses sitting on the rear center console...

Pretty sure they were aiming for comfort, not utility. That's just me judging by how they were describing the car.

This car is probably going to be a big deal in China...

Yeah I agree with you.
But to advance their new "species", I feel they ought to have targeted the Model X (or S) market. To me, they really needed to hit the FF91 out of the ballpark, which I don't believe they did. Sure, they achieved a remarkable engineering feat, but to target a seemingly small market? Fail in my books. And it really pains me to say this, being an EV/clean energy enthusiast.

I'm watching FF's presentation, frankly if you don't consider the company's financials etc.etc. this is a very well put together show. Seems like a nice car .. of course .. two main big questions remain,
a) How much
b) When
BTW - too bad it looks like a minivan.

For China market, you might need spa seats from Lucid and some one needs to provide warm water tubs for your feet please:
Impressive vehicle - terrible presentation.
I don't see any of these rolling off the assembly line in 2018 - if ever. They don't even have a factory building - how can you build and tool a factory, create a supply chain of parts and employ enough labor to start stamping these out in 12-18 months? Not to mention the time it will take to debug the multitude of tech features this monster has!
I also wonder why LG doesn't just start making their own vehicles. They make about 60-70% of the Bolt and it sounds like they'll be heavily involved in FF production (battery and maybe drive train?).

I don't know why they claim theirs is "fastest production vehicle in the world" when they don't even have a production line yet.
They should use the word "prototype" instead of "production."

In which case, they should just shift production to China to join the LeSee. No point building them in the U.S. only to ship the majority of them overseas.

Yeah, it's odd how the silver presentation car hugs the back wall as it drives on stage. Notice how it is always centered on the white strip on the stage floor? It's as if the embedded strip is used to guide/control the movement of the car to give the impression it's driving autonomously on stage.

Agreed, to be fair though they appear to have a "clip on" mirror to make the side mirrors legal until/if regulations ever allow camera use only. I actually think this is rather clever.
I too think this may be the case, a cheap trick.
Apparently that's all that's happening. Construction seems to have halted. That's no way to move forward and no way to reach a competitive state with Tesla or anyone else. We've seen how hard it is to get from 0 to thousands of cars per month. Faraday Futures seems more intent on boasting that they have 1,000+ employees without showing us anything in great detail.
Or have them demo their car without a finished interior (which I presume is what FF did). Dropping a few hundred pounds might give Tesla the delta in time.
