From Yugo to Daewoo, Isuzu to Suzuki, buying clearance priced cars from defunct automakers is part of our rich cultural heritage.

Was curious about this too and found this on Motor Trend:

And he’s funding a guy campaigning to kill electric cars if he wins. It’s a shame Tesla’s board isn’t independent and so isn’t able to crack down a guy damaging the company.

I think the EB110, Veyron, and Chiron are amazing performance cars but I never thought they looked great. I think this one looks great.

Big dope thinks VW spends a highest in the industry 5% of their revenue on warranty costs for their hunks of shit because one of them had a stuck fuel door.

Much better than the truck but seems like they should be updating their existing volume cars. The S is what 13 years old now?

Americans like big things but also like cheap things. If they could stick $15-16k pid3 I expect they could sell at least 60k/year.

gfy you dope.

Congratulations to the jeep angry eyes inventor on his new role leading BMW design. 

Not a lot and most of those, even those with more assets, have liquidated!

That’s fine, just clarifying that the two points you have concerns about:

Chapter 7 is relatively common in BEV bankruptcies and I’ll be shocked if they don’t convert to Chapter 7. Fisker just doesn’t have much of a business. Their “asset light” model means almost all of their assets are unsold cars that are becoming less valuable every day.

The article points out that PHEVs no longer make sense because easy home charging now exists, which is actually a point in favor of PHEVs...And then goes on to argue that nobody charges at home

A judge will have to approve whatever they do, but I’d be shocked if they don’t convert to Chapter 7 given Fisker’s lack of assets, intellectual property, customers, everything.

Fisker doesn’t have many assets or valuable intellectual property. They don’t own the Ocean platform, or assembly plant. Magna built a white label BEV platform - FM29 - for customers including Fisker to use. So a mainstream automaker could go directly to Magna to order BEVs without being burdened with Fisker’s debt.

Surprised the bankruptcy isn’t under Chapter 7. I’ll be stunned if they can find creditors willing to lend the Fiskers the amount of money they need. I liked the Ocean (on paper) enough to reserve one with a deposit and given the reported awful accounting I’m counting my blessing that I did not end up buying one and

Would ya mind quoting where exactly I stated that this is adequate engineering?

Last year China added over 200GW solar, 75 GW wind, and 70GW fossil which includes 40GW coal.

Wow, know what’s unintelligent, willfully ignorant, and intellectually dishonest?
