FSR closed the day at $0.97 (was close to $8 a year ago) the company is now valued at at just $338 million. That's why I said:

Could end up with a car that has no company to back it up. I hope they make it but things are looking iffy.

Maybe a buy the dip opportunity.

I was in Florida last week and saw about 10 of these things out and about. Surprised that some folks are spending $$$ on these just like the Lucid and Rivian cars.

Here are some pics of one when i was in Palm Beach:

Yep, reviews haven't been great. I think it's mostly because of incomplete software. They do look nice though

I do see more than I honestly expected in my area. I do love the design. But the recent news on this company and the quality of the product is definitely cause for concern.

I've got one in my parking lot at work and see another out and about. I think they look pretty slick all things considered.

I just saw one of these driving around yesterday. Had all of the windows down, including the rear window (like a 4Runner). Pretty cool feature. I could see the interior pretty well when I was stopped next to the guy at a light; looked pretty nice. It looks very small though.

If you remove the fisker badges and put land rover / range rover I think it would fool 99% of people....not a bad thing.

hopefully they can fix it fast... mostly it is software issues. All done by major automotive suppliers, which just shows how hard it is.

It's too bad about this car. It actually looks pretty good, and as I said if there was a BEV that I would consider, this would be it...minus the fob and software issues obviously.

That solar roof is badass too. Here's drone pics of a huge meetup in San Diego:

I'm surprised no one post anything about the Fisker price cut here.

"The U.S.-market MSRP for the 360-mile Ocean Extreme drops from $61,499 to $37,499. The lower Ultra grade now starts at $34,999—down from $52,999 before. And Fisker has reduced the starting price of the Ocean Sport grade from $38,999 to $24,999"

At this point, they could drop all to $10k and I still wouldn't be enticed.

Me as well. It looks really cool as a commuter, but it's so half baked. I like my meat well done

Because you'd be crazy to get one even at those prices, with the risk of being left *stranded* if the company goes belly up. Edmunds recommends not buying.

On first look, Rivian is another BEV that could be in trouble unless the EV market turns better. Their 2026 R2 release is too far in future. I mean, it's only the first half of 2024.

So, will it turn into a stationary battery pack if Fisker eases its operation?
