I sincerely doubt a &quot;super-futuristic&quot; aesthetic is going to catch on in the mainstream. One of the reasons the Model S has done so well is because it resembles other large luxury sedans that it competes against.<p>One very thing in particular about futuristic designs, to include many recent domestic cars (like the new dodge sedans and sports cars) is little vertical space given for windows. In contrast, one of the great things about the Porsche 911 design is that you have incredibly clear 360 views with big windows. That&#x27;s a major design feature that separates cars that are in continuous production for over 50 years and those that need design refreshes every few years.<p>Best of luck, FF.

&gt; It will have 15 percent higher specific energy than a Tesla Model S 85 kW-hr pack. That works out to 98 kW-hr.<p>Except that their ship date is 2 years out (best case, since it&#x27;s really aggressive!). That gives Tesla a pretty good window to improve their own battery packs. This isn&#x27;t a market you can win by getting a 10% improvement on battery life &#x2F; range -- there&#x27;s a lot more nuance than that. I hope they have other value propositions in mind...?

Interesting, of course talk is cheap as they say. I don&#x27;t think anyone has spun up a factory to make something as sophisticated as a car in less than 14months though. That is going to be a real challenge, and supply chain? Fugiddaboutit! Not to mention the entire world&#x27;s supply of Lithium battery production for the next 4 years is already allocated, going to be really tough to hit the 2017 date I think. But those things aside, the world could use more voices in the space, if only to keep the folks in the space looking in their rear view mirror and improving.

It is interesting to see that a new company is employing 200 persons and hiring at a rate of 10 per week.<p>In my opinion, this has been carefully planned long ago.

Well, with a name like that, I would naturally assume they are using super capacitors instead of lithium chemistry batteries. This would make sense if there was a challenge (or high cost) to getting sufficient current out of the cells-- but Tesla&#x27;s acceleration capabilities are about the max you could want to safely put into a passenger car I think.<p>Or maybe they just took the name cause it&#x27;s associated with electricity.<p>In that case, I think &quot;Faraday&quot; would be a much better name. Adding &quot;Future&quot; to it makes it sound like it&#x27;s a fictional high tech company from the 1950s. Feels retro.

So Tesla started with luxury cars only. Well that&#x27;s all you can buy still. I feel this companies real opportunity with a 2017 launch date would be a mass produced, under 40k EV. That will be right around the time Tesla might release the model 3. This company clearly has some massive funding and talent behind them, sounds like they can afford to start on the mass produced midrange EV right from the get go and be really successful. The market is begging for a 40k EV that is not the Chevy volt... We want a 40k tesla (or FF).

This is great news. As exited I am about Tesla, the more companies producing electrical cars, the better for all. When I read &quot;a new electrical car startup&quot; I was sceptical, but looking at who works there, there should be some business plan behind the company. Perhaps we really now live in a day and age where car startups become possible. That would mean some exciting times ahead for quick progress in the mobility sector.

I wish them good luck. The car market could use more players that attract attention to high-quality electric cars. However, I&#x27;m not so sure about this sort of &quot;all-star&quot; unnaturally born companies. I think they usually fail. But at least these guys aren&#x27;t making a hybrid, so they probably won&#x27;t screw it up with old-think.

They have a cool logo and I&#x27;m all for further progress in this field and hope the best, but I have a feeling this is yet another ooh-shiny company lacking the ability to really build something on the scale of what Tesla has done. The fact that the lead designer built the i3 doesn&#x27;t bode well either.

I think the big white space left by Tesla (aside from cheap cars, which is problematic) is reconfigurable or cargo&#x2F;commercial.

I&#x27;m sorry, why am I looking at renderings of the corporate headquarters instead of at least additional rendering of the vehicle exterior and interior?

I hope they just leap the driven electric car and focus on an autonomous electric car.

In case anyone was looking for the not-mobile version (removing the &quot;m.&quot; doesn&#x27;t work!), it&#x27;s here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wot.motortrend.com&#x2F;1507_new_california_based_electric_car_company_emerges_faraday_future.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wot.motortrend.com&#x2F;1507_new_california_based_electric...</a>

Another car for the 1%. Is this really necessary?<p>&quot;Connected&quot; may not be the future of cars. The Google self-driving car isn&#x27;t very &quot;connected&quot;. It doesn&#x27;t talk to other cars, nor does it need to. It watches what&#x27;s happening in the real world. Urmson, who heads Google&#x27;s self-driving effort, threw cold water on the &quot;connected car&quot; people at a conference recently. All the effort on car-to-car communications is a complete waste of time for automatic driving.
