I don’t get it. Last night there was an article on FP about how Faraday’s newest promo vid makes 0-60 runs look like drag races between the new FF mule and other vehicles. It wasn’t the best article and went too in depth but JEEZE there were so many FF defenders on there! I didn’t know a company with hundreds of millions of dollars behind it needed to be defended so vehemently in dishonest advertising....I mean, god forbid they actually *show* a 0-60 pull without any edits in it.
Seriously, watch the video and let me know where there’s more then two seconds of car movement before it cuts to another camera.
I honestly haven’t seen that level of front page defense of a deceitful (at best) company since Elio......And the Elio is at least a smaller idea and a car many people can afford and would buy if it comes out. And these are the same people who shit on Tesla and yell at Jalopnik for being to nice to them......I don’t get it.
Am I missing somethign about Faraday Future here? Is their video actually impressive to people? It’s nice, and well edited. But it seems like it says nothing to me.

they still have hundreds of millions? Or do you mean “behind them” as in “spent, gone, history?”

anyway, their responses are pathetic. “You’re just naysaying us because we’re disruptors!” Which is akin to those douchey white kids on YouTube and IG who go around irritating people and call it a “social experiment.”

Honestly I thought you were defending Jalopnik too hard in the comments. FF said exactly what the test was. Sure you might assume the finish line is at the end of the quarter mile, but it also demonstrates the end of the 0-60 race.
Its the same shit as “We have the BEST pickup” Marketing.

I see what you’re saying on the video and I haven’t been to the FP yet today.
Have they been celebrating this? I agree it doesn’t actually demonstrate much without a full run video. Especially because you can’t tell if the other cars are sand bagging.

I love how people are getting hyped up about this stupid mule...I mean, they realize a mule regularly has little similarity with the final product, right?
It’s like, if I got all excited over the Tesla Roadster powered smart...there’s literally no reason for me to expect a factory built smart to be as fast as a Tesla, so there’s no point in me getting excited over a stupid mule designed to test the battery.

Not defending jalopnik so much as asking why, if it was just a 0-60 video, they never actually show a 0-60 run. Yeah, they went a little too in depth trying to prove that it wasn’t a drag race, but again......why not jut show it? Why the cuts and edits for every “race to 60"?

Eh....celebrating is a strong word, but people got butthurt that I and others agree that it’s staged to look like a drag race but they don’t ever say it is. And there’s truth to the fact that they only ever talk 0-60 and never say it’s a drag race.....but they sure as hell stage it like a drag race.

Because thats how advertising works? Especially teaser videos. Truck commercials never just show a truck towing 32,500lbs up a 10% grade.
Jump cuts are cool yo
