competition is a good thing and Tesla has some major competition with the Faraday ff9 one this is an all-electric SUV competing with the Model X we took the Model X on a road trip from Salt Lake down here to CES and now I'm gonna take the Faraday ff9 one out for a spin I think it's super interesting that Tesla's named after an inventor that lived you know 150 years ago who worked on like the a alternating current that we see in the power lines and Faraday was yet another scientist with about 150 200 years ago and was the one of the pioneers in electromagnetic induction so we have two famous scientists whose names are now being used in competing electric car companies pretty awesome so one of the extremely unique features of the Faraday future are these dual antennas on the back these little shark looking fin things which actually give it a really strong internet connection with 350 megabits down which is faster than most broadband connections in the United States you could live stream from it you can download videos from it and a lot of that data connection will be used for the self-driving section you know giving updates on the road other cars around you things like that the logo right here when looked at sideways it's actually an F F for Faraday future so you've seen the Model X and the Falcon wing doors the doors on the Faraday future a little bit different there's a button right here the button right here and hold them are automatic that is opened the opposite directions huge things a fair day for sponsoring this video and give me a chance to take their car out for a spin remember this is a pre-production model so we're checking out the exterior and the performance of the car and not so much the interior that will come later when the car is actually released so now we're inside the Faraday the ff9 one this is kind of the pre-production model is mostly just to show off the performance you know it's not built for comfort we're in these like bucket seats with harnesses it's definitely not gonna be what the finished car is gonna look like inside but I can already feel the power from the two motors we can see out the front windshield right here and then over here on the side for the rearview mirrors they're just like this little stick with a camera in it so it's gonna be interesting with the final version where they're gonna put that right now it's up here for like the rear view mirror you can see each of these sides right here and over here and then the rear here is the back camera what happens when you honk the horn what are the cool things about this car is that you know you've seen the Tesla battery pack there's been Tesla's dismantle and you can see like the huge rectangular battery packs what Faraday has been using though is like these little modules that connect like little Legos all underneath the car so like if something goes wrong with the battery pack they can just pop one out and replace it and they're not limited to one solid battery pack you know they can increase the capacity and decrease the capacity whenever they want to with these modules I imagine you know if you damaged some of the modules talk about the little Lego components and replace the modules that are damaged into the whole battery pack itself which i think is pretty awesome so the zero-to-sixty of this thing is 2.3 nine seconds we have reached a stop sign and we are gonna floor this thing and see how fast we can really go wait.you the tires feelin so I'm holding the camera with my hand and the cheese from that just like bends the legs of my tripod backwards towards me that was sweet that was so sweet not everything's on the table right here boys one of the coolest things about electric cars for me and the reason that I think they're the future is because they're electric motors don't need like a transmission to shift you know I just bought my Toyota Tacoma and for me to get to zero to sixty I have to shift the gear shifter five times you know let off the gas shift the gear let off the gas shift the gear but with these electric cars they're instantly zero to 60 just straight up no shifting at all required and that's why they're so fast two point three nine seconds is ridiculous two point five seconds is ridiculous my Toyota Tacoma can reach zero to 60 in seven point seven seconds that's still pretty good some of the safety features going on inside of the Faraday is that this thing is going to pop up with lidar and then we have some radar up top which is pretty similar to what we saw inside of the Model X there's also some of these same proximity sensors and stuff so we'll have some cameras right here on the side as well as this is the rear camera that we saw earlier that was showing up in the display off the dashboard so as the Faraday is driving the tires move a little bit as it turns I think it has a turn of like three degrees or something like that and that helps give a tighter turn radius then you would normally see and like a Tesla Model X so because this car is named after Faraday one of the scientists from the past I think it would be cool to toss a wireless charger on the bottom of this thing so you just roll into your garage and start charging I think that'd be a pretty sweet thumbs up to Faraday and his work with the electromagnetic induction and that wireless charging stuff electric cars are the future gas powered cars are going the way of the dinosaur let me know what you think of this car would you ever buy an electric car and what do you think of the Faraday ff9 one I'm super stoked I love the competition that's happening right now thanks a ton for watching and I'll see you guys around
