Faraday Future teases SUV’s interior

Fully reclining rear seats highlight of pure-electric Tesla Model X-rival, said to have been NASA-inspired

Faraday Future has once again teased the car it plans to reveal at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at Las Vegas on January 3.

This time, instead of the SUV's exterior, the fledgling Chino-US car maker has released a video that gives us a glimpse of the show car's interior.

Claimed to be "defying gravity", the short film appears to show a pair of rear seats that can fully recline horizontally.

Separated by a centre console, the two individual seats have been claimed to have been "NASA-inspired" and include two retractable foot rests.

Towards the end of the video it's also possible to just see the car lacks conventional door mirrors, using a pair of rear-view cameras instead.

So far we've seen plenty of teases from the Faraday Futures, that include a drag race that appears to show its first car will be faster than a Ferrari 488 GTB but little is known about the new pure-electric SUV.

All we know is the pure-electric SUV has been styled by former BMW i3 and i8 designer Richard Kim.

It’s also very likely the new Tesla Model X rival will come with a powerful 100kWh lithium ion battery that will provide for a range of at least 500km.

All will be revealed at CES, if the car maker actually lasts long enough to reveal a physical car.

According to reports, its Chinese backer has run out of the billions needed to build the factory and finish development of Faraday’s first vehicle.

In the US some suppliers, including the seat makers for the SUV, have had to sue the car maker for unpaid invoices worth up to US $10 million (A$14 million).
