About LeSee

LeSee was the electric vehicle division of the Chinese technology conglomerate LeEco (formerly Letv), founded by entrepreneur Jia Yueting. Launched in 2015, LeSee aimed to take LeEco into premium electric cars, targeting consumers in China and the United States and positioning itself against players like Tesla.

Its flagship effort was the LeSee Pro, a concept car unveiled at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show and shown again at CES 2017. The sleek electric sedan promised a top speed of 130 mph, self-driving capability, and a distinctive light-up front fascia. Its interior was conceived as a connected entertainment hub, building on LeEco's video streaming and consumer technology strengths. LeEco also backed American EV startup Faraday Future, whose separate Nevada factory plans were affected by LeEco's later financial distress.

LeEco expanded aggressively across smartphones, televisions, and streaming services, which led to a severe cash crunch in late 2016. That instability stalled LeSee's path to production, and the project never reached mass manufacturing.
