Fisker filing for bankruptcy

[Carmudgeon]

Fisker made some attractively styled EV's. Elon should hire their designers and put them to work asap on completely restyled Model 3's and Y's.

Yeah, I don't think Fisker and Musk are going to be working together (again) any time soon, based on their first go round, and subsequent relationship.

One might argue that Fisker's concepts still live on in the S (which he designed for hire) and the 3 (same ole, but smaller).

Some time in the future, when all the principals are dead, and the NDAs don't matter to anyone any more, I hope someone spills all the beans on Musk and his dealings with Eberhard, Fisker, etc.

I don't think Foxxconn or VinFast can stay in EV for long at all either.

Speaking of FoxConn, what's going to happen to the Lordstown assembly plant that (I think) they own now?

Not even Nissan wants the leftovers

I have seen like 1 or 2 of these Fiskers ever.

I can drive 5 miles from my house on any Tuesday and see 50-100 Teslas.

I think I've seen 1. I live in a sea of Teslas.

I’m not even sure what to look for, although I’d be surprised if I’ve never seen one. But I’ve definitely seen Lucid, Rivian, and even VinFast on the road.

It's not the first time. He's a good designer, but he needs to work for someone who knows how to build a car, not run his own company. He should head back over to Aston Martin and get us back to the DB9 era.

Funny front end.

Not a good look

I keep seeing the same dark grey Fisker Ocean in the city. I have posted this picture recently. It looks like any other run-of-the-mill appliance.

I still love that car. Completely pointless in its design efficiency wise but it just doesn't look real in person.

Hasn't it gone bankrupt like 5 times before? I swear it always comes back and goes into bankruptcy again.

Where's all of this "carbon offset " credit money? If Tesla gets it doesn't Fiskar?

I believe it’s selling credits based on cars sold, just like how CAFE numbers go off of overall sales. Fisker has to sell cars first. There aren’t many out there.
