Faraday Future FF91 - Super fast electric car

Couple things to say about this video: 1) How did they go from this: to this: 2) Outperforming the Model S P100D by 0.11 seconds, a car that Tesla mass produces about 50,000 a year of, is not something to be making a big deal about. Tesla could spit out a concept car tomorrow that could blow that number away; but that's not the goal, the goal is *sustainable* transport. It's incredible they can do that performance whilst mass producing them and keeping them at a "reasonable" cost.

Glad to see that FF managed something more credible this year though I think that trying to out-Tesla Tesla in performance terms is a bad move. Regardless, given the parent company's financial problems, I'm still doubtful that this will ever make it to full-scale production.

Why? Just why would the world need an electric car that accelerates as fast as a Formula 1 car? You can't use that anyways because of all those speed limits. When I first heard about FF, I though they had a vision to transform mobility. Nowadays, it seems more likely that they will be just another hypercar manufacturer for the Top 0.01%. This won't transform mobility - an affordable mass market EV might have. Last but not least: I think it's not precisely a good looking car, especially from the side. I wouldn't buy it just for its looks.

Seems like FF is more concerned with creating the look and feel of a revolutionary company than building something that's attainable / sustainable. I'd be shocked if this car actually makes it off the assembly line. However, their team could probably start a pretty badass design shop as a plan B.

Is it just me or is the ff website one of the most frustrating, unintuitive, and impossible to navigate you've ever come across?

A 4 year old Nissan Leaf is more impressive... because it's not magic.

This was the worst presentation I have seen, beats Tidal's famous failed launch. The company's executives can throw shade AFTER they have the Model being delivered. Definitely don't believe any of the specs. Wouldn't be surprised if the 0-60 was without the massive battery on board (empty stripped and lightweight) and if the parking demonstration was remote controlled.

That is an incredible amount of tech they've tried to cram into a v1.0 product. And I don't mean that as a compliment. E.g., on top of still-nascent autonomous driving tech (including "self-valet parking"): - "Every person in the car’s seat will intuitively know and learn your individual preferences using profile identification with “seamless entry” that relies heavily on the company’s FF ID ecosystem." - "The FF ID makes you the key to the car, using Bluetooth and facial recognition to unlock the doors, which aslo continuously but “non-intrusively” learns about you." - "The car will also adapt to the environment as well, with a propulsion system that “just knows” and anticipates the passenger’s needs. It will adjust settings for comfort, performance and safety." - "It also features seamlessly integrated WiFi hotspots in the dual antennas, and transforming wheels to adapt with driving conditions and increase aerodynamic efficiency. Oh yea, and scissor doors and flying buttresses." (Source: http://jalopnik.com/this-is-fara...) Transforming wheels? Ostensibly, they're shooting for "It's magical," but to me, this just screams, "Let's have the most bugtastic product launch possible!" Won't do any favors for their already-tarnished brand or -difficult PR situation.

Honestly, I was expecting something more advanced and futuristic.
