One View Of The Faraday Future Reveal
I wanted to write this while my impressions were still fresh because the one thing I felt that I never explicitly said during our special episode was…anger. It made me mad. I felt used. Faraday Future, from here on, FF, used me for a sucker and I had to sit there and take it. Why? Well, let’s talk about it.

Special LIVE Episode – Faraday Future Live Reveal at CES
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. Spend two hours with us being disgusted at how silly this presentation and more importantly, how clueless this vehicle is. We paid the price sitting through this so you wouldn’t have to. Watch us suffer and learn what folly really looks like, during this special What Drives Us live episode.

#201 Afternoon Delight
Danny and Russell take on the show as a duo this week. Here’s what they talked about:
MB says fuck pedestrians, we’re protecting our customers
From Tony
From Mark
Bolt begins oozing out
Chevy Bolt Allocations are given to some California and Oregon dealers.
And yet…
http://insideevs.com/dealer-reveals-additional-chevrolet-bolt-pricing-details/
“The next step in the process is to begin taking orders for the 2017 Bolt. Rumors suggest that could happen as early as this week, but only in the states of California and Oregon for now.
There are plans to go nationwide, but that’s not expected to happen until 2017.”
From Paul
Does Tesla even have the legal ability to make all the cars it’s promised to?
And yet…
The Force is strong with this one
“Clearly, it is kinda ridiculous now to say that an automaker with 1,000-plus workers is working on nothing at all. So, let’s drop that vaporware status and ready ourselves for some big reveals coming from Faraday soon –“
