On February 18, Faraday Future announced that the FF 91 production car will officially roll off the production line on February 24, Beijing time, and will show the off-line process in the form of live broadcast.
Faraday Future was founded in 2014, and at CES in January 2017, it released its first model, the FF 91, which has a horsepower of up to 1050 horses, a peak torque of more than 1800 N·m, an acceleration time of 2.39 seconds per 100 km/h, a NEDC endurance of 700 km, and a price of 2 million yuan in China.
Shortly after the release of the FF 91, Faraday Future announced the completion of the first phase of its Nevada facility, which will officially deliver the first FF 91 in 2018. In 2018, Faraday Future did not fulfill its commitments and moved the mass production of the FF 91 back a year. Later, we all know that FF 91 has not achieved mass production until now.
Faraday Future's entire car-making process has been constantly questioned by the outside world. Back in 2016, Nevada Treasury Secretary Schwarzer said LeEco's entire company was a Ponzi scheme. In 2017, Faraday Future's North American headquarters began to lay off employees and was exposed to fake recruitment.
The mass production drama of FF 91 seems to have a big ending this year. Since Faraday Future announced the roll-off of the production car on the 24th, it means that the FF 91 is really about to start delivery. For Faraday Future, it has been 7 years since the car was built, and now it has only achieved mass production, which is not a very happy thing.
Faraday's future faces many more. Faraday Future said that there are only about 300 owners who pay for the reservation, and it is difficult to say whether there will be more orders in the future. In addition, the positioning of FF 91 is a bit too high-end, the order volume does not go up, and the operating profit is limited.
Xiao Lei is more looking forward to Faraday Future's previously announced FF 81 model, its positioning is much more people-friendly, the official price has not yet been announced, it is expected to be within one million. Faraday can rely on this car to form a certain scale effect in the future, and the manufacturing cost can be gradually reduced. In addition, a larger number of users can provide more real driving data, and Faraday can continue to improve the level of autonomous driving in the future.
