Faraday Future: Tesla's opponent arrives in 2016

Anonim

Faraday Future is a brand that has been developing, in total secrecy, cars to compete with Tesla. Its first concept will be unveiled at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) early next year.

Nobody knows the origin of the brand, where the financing comes from or even the name of the CEO of Faraday Future. One thing is certain: they want to be Tesla's greatest opponent. With each passing day, you can be closer and closer to your goal.

The Los Angeles-based company doesn't hide that it wants to become a Tesla killer: from engineers at Tesla, to those responsible for designing the innovative i3 and i8 at BMW, former employees of Apple, they all work with the purpose of building the automobile of the future (is it really an all-electric car?…) that intends to revolutionize the car world.

Faraday Future says that the concept that will be presented at CES 2016 will have 15% more battery capacity compared to the Tesla Model S. The most recent statements were on the side of Nick Sampson, former director of chassis engineering for the Tesla and models models. who is currently an engineer at Faraday Future.

In an interview with The Verge, which you can see in the video below, Sampson broke some “secretism” of the brand and advanced some details of the central idea of ​​Tesla's competitor.

Faraday Future is strange and confusing, that's for sure. But… what does it mean not to introduce the CEO? Speculation is growing that the futuristic brand may be linked to Apple, which has long been interested in building a car.

The countdown present on the website further increases the anxiety of knowing what Faraday Future will present at CES 2016, a kind of Motor Show for technology. It will take place in Las Vegas between the 6th and 9th of January of next year.

“The future of mobility is closer than you think” is the message that the new American brand leaves “in the air”.
