2018 Faraday Future FF91 vs 2017 Tesla Model S P100D

But the first production vehicle won't be here for "a couple of years," as Nick Sampson, a senior vice president at Faraday and a former Tesla engineer, said on stage Monday night (to be fair, he used the word "only" when stating a couple of years and also had praise for Tesla: "Tesla and Elon Musk have created something we should all applaud them for”). The challenge is, in a couple of years, the Tesla Motors TSLA +0.37% Model X crossover will be a maturing platform and pouring out of Tesla factories. And of course that's when the mass-market $35,000 Model 3 should hit the streets. And, needless to say, Tesla will have new car and technology announcements over the next couple of years.
