The latest video from Faraday Future, the secretive electric car company, has gone so far as to let slip a look at (what might be) a silhouette of one of its to-be-revealed vehicles:

However, the company has been stressing its upcoming appearance at the Consumer Electronic Show on January 4, 2016 Las Vegas — a time when hopefully curious folk can finally know what the future holds for Faraday, a company that has in the meanwhile worked to show that their plan already comes with personality installed:
