Faraday Future finally starts production on the FF91 Futurist Alliance launch trim. A final launch event is planned for April 26.
The first 5,000 sedans to leave the factory will ostensibly be the FF 91 Futurist Alliance trims that reservation holders put $5,000 down on, but we're not sure that's what's going to happen. Last May, Faraday financial statements claimed 401 genuine reservations — meaning customers put money down to secure a spot. The company's reservation page continues to indicate the FF 91 Futurist Alliance is sold out, as it has done for years.
We don't know when deliveries will commence, though. Faraday says there will be a"final launch event" on April 26, which sounds like a fine day to hand over some keys to the 1,050-horsepower sedan with the 130-kWhproviding an EPA-rated range of 381 miles. It sounds like customers have been sorted into three groups for delivery sequence.
The retail sales operation kicks off in a new Flagship Brand Experience Center being planned for Beverly Hills, followed by direct sales centers in San Francisco and New York. Overseas, Shanghai and Beijing begin the international onslaught. And when we write"begin," we mean the company has plans to make as much or more money from mobility ancillaries as it does from the cars.
For all of this, Faraday Future still hasn't publicly shared a price for any trim of the FF 91. With the brand aspiring to become"a major player in the high-value user market," and the market having moved way upmarket since 2014, the common expectation is an FF 91 is going to ask more than six figures, perhaps close to $200,000. A sub-six-figure offering isn't anticipated until the FF 81 debuts.
