It will make two high performance crossovers with sleek coupe lines, the SF5 and SF7. Think Model X without the tricky "falcon" doors but with 1,000 horsepower in the top four-motor configuration that gets to 60mph in 3.0 seconds. Versions with less power, fewer motors and a lower MSRP will be the bulk of production, of course. Notably, SF Motors will design and build its own motors, inverters and batteries as well as assembling cars in its own factories in Indiana and China, factories that actually exist unlike the gold-shovel theater we got from Faraday recently.

A planned range of 300 miles on a charge is, frankly, nothing special nor is the ability to swallow an 80 percent charge in 30 minutes on a fast charger. But down the road that paradigm could change as they digest the recent acquisition of InEVit and its founder, Martin Eberhard of Tesla fame. In the meantime, SF Motors says a range extender option is under development for virtually endless electric range; Chevy Volt showed that can be a popular architecture, BMW i3 showed it also can't.Since the fatal Uber/Volvo self-driving crash in Tempe, the world looks at self-driving cars differently. SF Motors CEO John Zhang says his company's head was already wrapped around autonomy as a safety technology, not one that frees you to scroll Facebook as you roll down the highway. They'll continue to develop it as a major driver assist, but not quite replacement.
