On the eve of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Faraday Future (hereinafter referred to as FF), a US start-up electric vehicle company and LeTV's strategic partner, officially released its first production model in Las Vegas, USA - ff91, FF strategy Partner LeTV's founder, chairman and CEO Jia Yueting helped to set off the climax of the day's press conference. "FF is creating a new category of cross-border integration, hoping to replace all models with one model, ff91 completely subverts human perception of the car." At the press conference, Jia Yueting called the world's first Internet eco-electric vehicle Being able to rebuild the century-old automotive industry is a “new speciesâ€. After Jia Yueting admitted that too much investment in the auto sector directly led to insufficient financial support for LeEco, the public questioned the mass production. As the car and founder and CEO Li Xiang said, whether it is from the perspective of suppliers or from the point of view of self-built factories, it may still be difficult to deliver the first batch of cars in 2018. In this regard, FF Global Manufacturing Vice President Dag Reckhorn revealed in an interview with NBD Auto that in the context of the tight construction time of the existing factory, FF also has an alternative, that is, using a custom workshop to carry out small batch production. . "Since the promise is made, we will achieve this goal. In 2018, we will deliver the first batch of ff91 to consumers." Obviously, FF wants to replicate Tesla's success, but it doesn't seem to stop there. Dag Reckhorn bluntly said that in the process of building a car in Tesla, there was no mistake, and a lot of new products were the best proof. “Why are so many former Tesla employees coming here, one important reason is that we want to avoid Tesla’s mistakes, we have to deliver FF products faster and with better quality, then put the cost Lower." It can be seen that they want to build a company beyond Tesla on the basis of Tesla. Alternatives guarantee production car delivery Although this huge press conference is full of eye-catching, but the FF Nevada factory has not yet completed, the doubts about mass production remain unbroken. Previously, FF experienced a series of public opinion challenges including the departure of executives, the arrears of suppliers, and factory shutdowns. In response, when NBD Auto was invited to visit FF's R&D center in Los Angeles, FF executives said in an interview with NBD that the first phase of the plant has been completed and the second phase of construction will begin. However, due to the total investment of 1 billion US dollars, the 918-acre factory needs to wait for the approval of the factory, so the delivery of the first batch of 300 ff91s in 2018 is indeed tight in time, but this commitment Will not say anything. “We will prepare a high-end custom workshop for the first users.†Dag Reckhorn revealed to NBD that this option will guarantee the delivery of the first batch. Specifically, FF will build a workshop for small-volume manufacturing on a piece of land in Las Vegas as an intermediate transition. After the successful completion of the Nevada plant, complete stamping, welding, painting, and The assembly shop will achieve mass production. “In addition, we will use the same batch of parts and work with the same suppliers, whether it is produced in large or temporary workshops, we can guarantee quality.†Tom Wessner, vice president of global supply chain, told NBD, FF Compared with the foundry model, it is agreed that the self-built model can better grasp the quality and time. “We have to build our own cars because we have to build our own brand at this stage.†FF shareholding structure is still under discussion At the press conference, ff91 conducted a live racing test. The results show that the 0-60 mph acceleration time is only 2.39 seconds (1 mile is equal to 1.6 km), surpassing most traditional cars and similar electric vehicles. At the same time, in terms of cruising range, FF also surpassed Tesla with a battery pack total capacity of more than 130kWh and a single-charge driving range of more than 378 miles (EPA) and 700 kilometers (NEDC). It is reported that the Tesla Model S has a maximum cruising range of 480 to 500 kilometers. Although Jia Yueting only attended the press conference with the title of LeTV's founder, chairman and CEO, FF's shareholding structure seems to be a mystery, but one of the FF's main investors has a pivotal position within FF. In fact, from the various parameters announced by FF and the structure of the executive team, it can be seen that the direct competitor of ff91 is Tesla. NBD Motors learned that four of the six existing FF executives in FF are from Tesla. Among them, Dag Reckhorn served as Tesla and served as Production Director of Model S; Nick Sampson, currently Senior Vice President of FF R&D and Engineering, was Tesla's Director of Vehicle and Chassis Development; Tom Wessner, Vice President of FF Global Supply Chain It is Tesla's former purchasing director; in addition, Alan Cherry, vice president of human resources at FF. 12V Solar Charge Controller,60 Amp Power Solar Charging Controller,60A Solar Controller,Solar Charge Controller GuangZhou HanFong New Energy Technology Co. , Ltd. , https://www.gzinverter.com
