Re: Faraday is probably a front for the Apple Car
#2Nothing in this article showed any evidence that it's an Apple front other than the fact that Apple is interested in cars and has a lot of money. There are quite a few companies that have a lot of money, and consortia could also pool a lot. While it might make some sense for them to do something like this, it'd be nice to see real journalism....

#3The name of the company is Faraday? Can't they be any more original than that? It sounds like someone copied the naming scheme from Tesla.

If the article's speculation is correct, having a "derivative" name is a good idea for a front company. It gets you the opposite of attention; it's eminently forgettable.

#7It's probably a Chinese backed company. It makes no sense why Apple would create a completely separate company for a secret new product. They always do it internally with people they can trust.

#8A photo on their site shows their staff using a PC, I don't think Apple would use a PC and also have a photo of that on one of their sites. My bet is that it's a Chinese company.

#9On the contrary, an LA Times report [0] seems to have linked Faraday to a Chinese billionaire named Jia Yueting.
