We published first post on Faraday Future on July 16, 2015, under the headline, “Faraday Future breaks stealth, promises 2017 EV launch.” Now we know that promise, like Luca Brasi, swimming with the fish; it turns out that a longer stealth phase helps everyone a lot. But Faraday Future, like Aptera Motors and Elio Motors, has perfected the enduring if not the art of making cars; last year, FF guaranteed New sponsorship from Volvo owner Geely and a reverse merge with a SPAC. With those funds and intent to continue, the company took to Twitter last week to announce that we’ll be seeing the new, production-purpose battery-electric FF91. intersection premieres tomorrow, February 23. The The event will be streamed live from California at 4 p.m. PST, 7 p.m. EST.
7 more days until we announce the first Production Intent # FF91! This achievement marks Production Milestone #4 – purpose-built manufacturing for ultimate technical validation and certification.

Faraday previously released a prototype tester in 2017, followed by a pre-production example in 2018. Two years later, we did a short spin in a “coming soon” unit at CES 2020. The one we drove wasn’t far from the basic specs we’ve promised for years, a 130 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery the battery The package pushes electrons to three electric motors, each with 350 horsepower. Two motors spin the rear axle, one spins the front wheels, for a combined output of 1,050 horsepower and 1,328 pound-feet of torque. The company’s CEO Carsten Breitfeld said at the time that he had 110 miles of range left after driving the 250-mile highway from LA to Las Vegas. He must be from somewhere a little west of LA, like West Covina; Still, the 360-mile range, even years later, will keep the FF91 at the bottom of the EV crossover pack.
Target EPA Rated is 378 miles. As for recovery range, DC fast charging up to 200 kW is said to be able to recover up to 200 miles in an hour.
Faraday says there’s nothing left to do but “finally validate and certify the technique.” The goal is to get the FF91 into production by the end of the year at the plant in Hanford, California. Tomorrow, we will watch the live stream to see what has changed in the coming years and hope to hear a lot of good reasons for us to believe that all dreams of Faraday Future will come true this time and a recent update investors are confused by inaccurate statements.
