Tesla & FF – Partners Not Rivals

By perceiving Tesla their direct competitor Faraday Future is making another conceptual mistake. It is basically the Green-Vehicle manufacturers versus the rest of the traditional car makers that insist on their wrong-doing and not pro-actively helping towards a viable future.

This concept of rivalry on the part of Faraday Future will only make them alone in the game, since Tesla is the only company in the world that reached at the verge of producing EVs for the masses, they should be considered like guides, leaders and inspiration not competition.

Although FF is secretly and loudly following Elon Musk’s Master Plan, they are reluctant to admit it. At their ‘FF 91’ reveal event, most presenters were cautious not to utter the word ‘Tesla’ much and in addition they proudly presented drag races that showed the defeat of Tesla prodution-vehicles at the hands of their prototype.

Still in one of their videos the ‘FF 91’ prototype beats Tesla Model S by a fraction of a second and remember that Model S P100D is prior to the 8.1 software update that makes it go 0-60 in just 2.4 seconds and FF 91 at it’s very best and bigger battery does it in 2.39 seconds. So after the Tesla software update where will Faraday Future stand if they only have this feature as a selling point?

If Faraday Future starts to believe Tesla as their partner in the quest for a greener, sustainable future even in the abstract sense, they will have more time and energy to put towards more meaningful features for their products.

Most people don’t buy their cars for quarter-mile drag races, they buy it on the basis of trust in a brand and product.

Faraday Future should consider non-green manufacturers as their rivals not Tesla and surely they will progress in the right direction.
