That might help square away the bevy of contractors suits that have been shoveled Faraday Future's way in recent months. In a statement to Reuters, LeEco—the Chinese company backing Faraday who controls the land in question—played coy and said it was looking for a "development partner" for the land. As Reuters noted, LeEco is "developing luxury electric vehicles with Faraday Future in the United States, a startup Jia funds and controls." However, the outlook remains unclear after Faraday said it was scaling back production plan at a factory it has yet to build in Nevada. Oof. Now that's certainly a succinct way to sum up the shitpile of a situation here.
