Faraday Future realizes the first FF 91 Body-in-White

Has Faraday Future finally abandoned the rollercoaster that it has been stuck in since the beginnings of sluggish ETUC by the FF 91.

After serious financial difficulties, Faraday Future has rocked like a ship in a storm. Sustained society spent the first half of 2018 buried deep in an unusual silence. He emerged from dormancy to announce that he finished the first FF 91 body-in-white, an industry term used to designate a complete and finished body without paint, trim and interior parts, or powertrain components. This is an important step on the road to mbad production.

Getting there was easier said than done; Faraday explains that the FF 91 uses more than 1,500 self-piercing rivets that retain its aluminum structure, for example. Faraday has also mastered the difficult technique of welding aluminum to steel and incorporated "transduced" torque tools into the production process to improve traceability, anti-error and accuracy.

Faraday notes that she has taken this important step. It is still aiming to launch the mbad production of the luxury all-electric FF 91 in December 2018. The first customers to receive the car will be those who will have booked at the opening of the order book early 2018. The Production will take place in a former Pirelli Factory located about 200 miles north of Los Angeles, where the company's headquarters are located.

The data sheet has not changed. Faraday Future further predicts that the FF 91 will race zero at 60 mph in under three seconds, a figure that will make it one of the fastest cars in the world. Bugatti Chiron does the action in 2.3 seconds; the Dodge Challenger Demon limited edition and high-end variants of the Tesla Model S correspond to this figure. Range? More than 300 miles, according to first estimates. This figure beats Jaguar's Model S and I-Pace. The price has not been announced but we expect it to start somewhere in the low six figures. We have contacted the company for clarification and we will update this story if we intend to return.

Of course, as Tesla recently discovered with the Model 3, turning predictions into a reliable and high quality fleet of cars is a big order. Time will tell if Faraday Future can learn from his rival's mistakes or he will fall into the same trap.
