    So you don’t want to give any credit for any new car company which starts to produce EVS and you expect them to compete with Tesla from the start?! fisker already sold 5000 cars and this is good for a company which only started delivering in September 2023.

    Fisker claimed that they would sell 42,000 cars last year, at the end of February 2023. Also claimed to have 65,000 reservations. Well, Magna can definitely manufacture the cars…what happened? Fisker was lying. Fisker didn’t have the capital to order the parts to make 42,000 cars, and knew it. Fisker struggled mightily to deliver 3,000 cars in Q4, do you think they had plans in place to deliver 21,000? Started deliveries earlier than September, but whatever. Fisker never had 65,000 reservations either. Bottom line is that Henrik Fisker is a scam artist pathological liar who dumped his stock long ago and is not buying at 44 cents a share, not loaning Fisker Inc the $200 million he cashed out either. When the CEO super clearly doesn’t believe in the company, why would you?

    @@Ukacip Look, I am just some dude with only a couple years in university, none of it studying economics or business, and a year ago while Henrik Fisker was predicting production and sales of 42,000, I was predicting 10,000. Am I a super genius uni drop out who works in a call center, or is my incredibly rare (apparently) skill the ability to multiply? All I did was assume a reasonable number for the cost of parts and multiply it by 42,000...assume the parts of the car cost $40,000 for the top of the range cars, and Fisker would need $1.68 billion dollars to buy the parts. Which is a lot more cash than Fisker Inc had in February of 2023. And Fisker would have had to place most of the orders by the end of February 2023 to get their claimed production rate of 21,000 cars for Q3. And I do not think many parts suppliers are going to extend credit to any small undercapitalized EV startup, least of all to one run by Henrik Fisker. So Fisker for sure knew they did not have the parts ordered to make 42,000 cars, but told investors otherwise. If you people think you are investors and you cannot do multiplication, put your money in the bank.

    The Ocean is a superior car to the Model Y once the remaining software gets finalized. The Nissan deal will give Fisker that much needed liquidity it needs to get through this ramp up. Once the dealership start selling their inventory of Oceans, they will be in a much better spot and will be a true competitor.

Could it be from marketing department because they shifted to the dealership distribution model? What do you know about the company aside repeating negative stuff? If you want to make an honest content compare Fisker Ocean Sport with Tesla Model Y or 3, starting how do you feel driving each or which features are working better for your buck. Another thing if you are not financial analysts, you did not drive either cars or not comparing them as far as inside and out and performance, what are you telling in your video??? What is the goal.

    When you have a startup you either need to have something really special which makes a big fat margin to finance your investment, or a huge amount of risk capital to cover the first startup period. Tesla had the huge risk capital, and less competition. So Fisker were bound to fail, as will many of the other EV entrants. The real question is out of the big vehicle manufacturers how many have deep enough pockets to cover the first 10 years, losing $50 billion or so. as Tesla will drop their prices again when they either get cheaper production, or they decide to keep their market share at the expense of profit, probably a combination. The structure of existing public companies makes this unlikely as stockholders will not often tolerate a loss of stock value and a lack of dividends for a few years.

    Fisker hasn’t had a second year of production, and is not likely to. Tesla grew at the fastest average percentage increase ever recorded for a decade plus span. Tesla also could not meet demand for the first thirteen years of production, and Fisker delivering less than half the cars manufactured their first year paints a very different picture.

Likewise, Chinese auto manufacturers need to do massive merging and closing down some of the ~90 auto manufacturers in existence today.

    Vans are the ultimate EV platform.

It never ceases to amaze me, how EVs are always just-out-of-reach for those need them most, or they don't even have a relevant model. The people who NEED an EV (low economic position, large families) basically have no options at all.
