Power Failure: Electric Car Manufacturer Fisker Delisted from the NYSE
https://justthenews.com/politics-pol...startup-fisker
Quote:
Just like with the solar panel companies, the chances that the businesses will be OUT of business in the near to mid future makes buying this stuff the risky purchase of the day. If (when) Fisker goes belly up, who will service these cars? Where will the parts come from? I guess they can cannibalize all those cars that didn't sell for parts. |

Their cars are complete crap. Not surprised by this at all.

The ev market is destroying the American Economy, the ICE legacy, the capitalist market and the American taxpayers.

I think they look good. I know nothing about their quality.
They will be the next DeLorean in the collector world one day. |

There are 71 Fisker "Ocean" cars on Autotrader at the moment, all less than 6,000 miles, many with less than 1,000 and 2,000 miles on them, all 2023 models, quite a few with just a few hundred miles, all being sold as used. People that bought them new apparently dumped them quickly for some reason.
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...By=mileageDESC Here's a really nice Ocean One (the highest trim level) for $ 44K, from a BMW dealer, so you know they bought it for MUCH less. Less than 1,000 miles. Comes with the solar panel roof. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing https://www.caranddriver.com/fisker/ocean-2023 |

It looks like they were made only in 2012, so yes, possible collector car appeal. I'd worry about parts availability and then what about replacing the batteries?

Even my current ELR has parts availability concerns due to low production numbers. The battery is from a Volt so those are east get, its everything else.
