Faraday Future Introduces Prototype Against Tesla Models

The details and images of Faraday Future's prototype are disclosed through Twitter.

A prototype is introduction to threaten the interests of Tesla Motors. Images and details of the concept car of Faraday Future were disclosed on Twitter a day ago before its official introduction at Las Vegas technology trade show CES, a weeklong expo’s very highly anticipated event.

The disclosure was done after Tesla’s iOS application made a premature, brief appearance on the App Store. The all-electric powered vehicle would be able to run at the highest speed of 200 miles per hour, compared with Tesla Model S, which is able to run at a top speed of 155 miles per hour, and provide an autonomous driving mode to its users.

The design of Faraday is already being compared with Batmobile, due to its aerodynamic tail fin and cabin covered with glass. The startup is making efforts to manufacture a unique modular battery technology that would equip its bigger cars with more batteries into a frame. After showing the nonproduction prototype vehicle at CES, the organization would probably launch a manufacturing version at the earliest in 2017.

Faraday Future was founded in May 2014 by a team of former Tesla workers, including former director of vehicle and chassis engineering, Sampson. The new organization has not disclosed most of its basic details. For instance, Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting is its investor, but it has described its financing only as "ample”.

The scope of the enterprise's production line is somewhat a mystery, as it has been able to indicate  its plan to explore the rest of the areas of automotive and technology sectors, such as "in-vehicle content" like applications and "unique ownership models", such as a subscription technology.

Faraday also said it aims to launch everything from pickup trucks, crossovers, to sedans and SUVs. No prices were disclosed during the show on Monday. In approximately a year, the Chinese billionaire backed corporation has expanded to over 750 workers.

According to Bloomberg, surprisingly however, a key member quit the organization yesterday. Chief battery designer of Faraday, Porter Harris, has changed his LinkedIn profile by mentioning Lotus Research and Development as his employer.

With its head office located outside Los Angeles in Gardena, Calif, the company announced in December 2015 that it would establish an automotive manufacturing facility in North Las Vegas. The initial phase of the plant would be requiring $1bn of investment. It has revealed that the ‘three million sq. ft. plant’ would cover 900 acres and provide job opportunities to 4500 people, where at least half of the workers would be hired from the local workforce of Nevada. 

Clean Technica has reported that Tesla would soon be opening its first Supercharger station in Poland as it would act according to its deal with Orlen.
