We can Faraday quiet, the most mysterious cars of the time. It seems that there are 400 people working and in 2017 they would with an “affordable” electric car. How?
With the rise of the electric car, it is relatively easier to as a total newcomer to take your first steps on the market, without that you have to limit to exclusive hypercars. No hassle with conventional internal combustion engines, but relatively simple electrical components. Tesla is the most sounding and yet also only successful example. Although there are already several companies have tried or are working on an electric car, it seems none of them really a success.
That is to say, outside of Faraday. Where the most early notice as soon as possible computertekening of their car to bring out to attention, operates on Faraday, as much as possible under the radar. And that is strange for a brand that already in 2017 the market will come with a relatively affordable electric car. Relatively, because earlier rumors that there was a battery with a specific capacity higher than 90 kWh in the Tesla Model S P90D. On the other hand, in the above picture (of the Faraday website), we see two cars, so probably they will come directly with multiple models in different price ranges.
The factory of 1 billion
On the website of Faraday’s Future, as the company officially called, we find but little information. There would be at this time 400 people work, and that should be the end of this year even 500. Among them a large number of ex-Tesla employees, but also old-werknemenrs of Ferrari, Lamborghini, General Motors, SpaceX and BMW. Knowledge, therefore, no lack. In addition, the company is currently based in an office (photo above) that they last year bought for 13.25 million dollars, and they came last week with the news that they have 1 billion dollars want to pump in the construction of a U.s. manufacturing facility.
If Faraday’s reporting is correct, then there must be a big investor behind the company sit. Not for nothing were there rumors that Faraday’s Future is actually a cover from Apple, including the long-awaited Apple Car would develop. That is not likely, according to the the American business magazine Forbes. They spoke to several anonymous sources around Faraday, and all they would have confirmed that Apple is not behind the company.
‘Chinese Elon Musk’
But then who is? Jia Yueting and his company LeTV. Jia Who? This billionaire is the man behind the ” Chinese Netflix’ LeTV and we called on Groen7 as the Chinese Elon Musk. The wealthy Yueting, that would be good for 7.3 billion dollars, had the vision of an electric car to build, but was looking for a partner to work with.
That they have apparently found, because Faraday seems to be not over one night of ice cream to go. Other signs that the Chinese and the company behind Faraday, that is, data from a real estate agency it appears that the office of Faraday was bought by LeTV, and according to sources, important figures within Faraday on Linkedin indicate working for the Chinese company. Yet there remains an atmosphere of mystery around the company, hang on and know we are not really sure who is behind it, if they are more open about going to give. And that they will soon have to start doing, if they, like Tesla, a local American government is so crazy want to get to heavily invest in their factory. With only castles in the air, you get little for each other.
