Faraday Future, set to reveal its first production vehicle at CES in just under a month, has left little doubt as to its ambition with its latest teaser video. The company likely hopes to avoid a repeat of last year's underwhelming visit to Las Vegas, when hordes of tech journalists expecting a Tesla rival found a concept car instead. Leading up to this year's event, the company has been setting expectations with a series of short teasers of a camouflaged prototype car in testing. The most recent shows us that Faraday is aiming high, with the new EV benchmarked against Bentley, Ferrari, and Tesla.That means we can probably forget the idea of Faraday Future exploiting some new niche in the EV marketplace. No, we think the new electric SUV is gunning straight for the Tesla Model X, a vehicle that's both bonkers-fast and also rather practical. And we think the inclusion of Bentley's Bentayga as another rival means a more upmarket interior than the rather barebones Tesla.
However, we still don't even know the name of the production car, nor an expected price, how long it will take to charge, or pretty much anything concrete. And although we asked for a sneak peek before CES, it seems we'll have to wait until January 3 to find out the answers to those questions.
