Special LIVE Episode – Faraday Future Live Reveal at CES

4 Jan , 2017 Video

Dr. Evan Fusco, Tony Schaefer, Mark Coughlan and Russell Frost get taken for a ride waiting for the reveal of the FF91, Faraday Future’s “first production” vehicle.

Watch us suffer and learn what folly really looks like, during this special What Drives Us live episode.
