Yeah, this is a Lotus chassis gussied up at VLF so Fisker can pretend he has a new electric car company.

The wheels are not big, that is a tiny car built on a Lotus chassis at VLF so Fisker can pretend he has a new car company. It has the same overall length as the Roadster, about 150 inches.

Yes, you are close here. It is not actually vaporware though, that implies that Fisker will attempt and fail to make these cars. No such attempt will be made. This is scamware.

Yeah, they can literally claim anything they want to about this car since they have zero intention and zero capability of ever making one.

Yeah, Fisker has no intention of making cars, and not a vague chance of being able to if he did have honest intentions.

Lucid and Faraday have real companies with over a thousand employees and in Lucid’s case a pretty admirable car they want to build and they are begging desperately for the money they need. Fisker has…

Fisker can sound super ambitious and make all sorts of promises since he has literally zero intention of ever making a single one of these cars. Nor could he if he wanted to. But keep giving this obvious blatant attempt to scam deposit money from people more ink here...

Absolutely. Could we please just have even 5% of a normal human’s skepticism from the EV automotive writers? This week they continued to “cover” Henrik Fisker’s glaringly obvious scam as if the man will be making cars at some point. His “company” has no factory, no capital or hope of raising capital, NO OFFICE OR…

Yes, you are right. This is a pretend new car company that Fisker has “founded” to fleece deposit money from the gullible.

The man has nothing. His new company is a fiction. It has no employees. It has no office. It has no factory. It has no capital. It has no battery supplier. His partner in his new company also is “CEO and Founder” of two companies with breakthrough cancer treatments, another company with “30 feature films in various…

The assets of the company Fisker used to run were sold in bankruptcy to a Chinese company, the reincarnation of that company is now called Karma Motors. What they did with the MD facility I am not sure, most likely sold it. Main point in that Henrik Fisker has nothing, there literally is not even an office with a desk…

Fisker’s previous company sold 1,800 cars and lost $1.3 billion, the biggest ever loss of venture capital money. Along the way they lied to the US government about how much each car was costing them to produce, and estimates go as high as $900,000 per car. Fisker’s new company is not exactly attracting a lot of…

Good, then give Fisker deposit money for a car less likely to ever be made than an Elio.

None will ever be built, there is no capital behind this, they have no factory or offices or employees...

Faraday has employees, offices, and a real delusional fantasy of making cars and selling them. Fisker does not, this is just a scam which the press should stop covering.

Me too! I am actually the one with first mover advantage in this industry (the give me piles of money while I pretend I can make this electric car industry, other contenders include Fisker with his new pretend company) since I designed a solar electric and pedal powered car when I was 13 back in 1980.

Yeah, VW admits they have no idea where they will get batteries from for their planned production. They state that the claims of the various battery companies to be able to increase supply to meet demand are not credible, that they themselves would require $21 billion dollars and a major battery company company…

GM and the other majors will not have the batteries to make their own EVs in volume for many years. But you are right generally that Lucid is too late to the party. If they had a huge pile of cash, say five billion dollars, they could use the nice car they have and have a shot at making it. Lacking the capital to even…

“...when there actually is common demand from consumers for electric cars, the big guys will be able to whip them out without issues. It’s not like they can’t, they just don’t want to right now. The bolt is a really great example of how easily they can without really even putting a lot of effort behind it.”

These are…

Wow, most of these comments are amazingly...off the mark, generally. Almost everyone here is still thinking about being an active driver, while Elon Musk has clearly stated that the Model 3 is designed as an autonomous vehicle. In an autonomous vehicle, the CAR watches the speed, you do not. You do not need easy to…

Too bad the entire project is fictional. There is no breakthrough in battery technology, no patents, no Fisker Nanotech, no financing, no employees, no offices...
