Fisker EVer

[sailsmen]

Saw a Fisker EVer today. Fit and finish looked good and I like the styling.

Only an idiot would by a car like this and only a biggger idiot would take $528,000,000 in tax payer money and loan it to Fisker.

Time for the pitch forks and torches!

More like a Fisker nEVer, they ofcourse after a lot of tax payer subsidies are now bankrupt too. How can you stay in business when your press car breaks down in front of the media. LOL So much for stimulus. I want my money back

Last we heard, Fisker Automotive was still "committed" to building the recently revealed Atlantic sedan at the former General Motors plant in Delaware. A few years ago, Fisker announced that site would be the company's new domestic production home (the Fisker Karma extended-range plug-in hybrid is made by Valmet in Finland). Still, Fisker did say that any definitive statement on the Atlantic's production location would not come until the end of the summer.

So we were interested to read new reports from local media that show more signs that the Atlantic might not ever be built in Delaware. On Friday, Delaware Online reports, 12 more workers – including engineers and maintenance technicians – were laid off at the plant, leaving "only a small maintenance team" left there. One of those let go was Jeff Garland, who had been working on community affairs and business development efforts in Delaware. He said the plant is currently "absolutely empty." This is because Fisker has taken out the old GM equipment but has not yet installed the machines it would need to build the Atlantic. As Garland told Delaware Online, "I think what happened was the budget numbers are so tight right now and they're working so hard to preserve as much cash as they can that something had to give. We're not making a car in Wilmington right now, so given that situation it was an obvious place to make a cut."

Fisker spokesman Russell Datz said that the company has flexible plans and will hire people when "we ramp up the project again." Production of the Atlantic is being delayed, at least in part, because of issues with Fisker's Department of Energy loan.

The Greed and Waste in Government is a direct result of using "OTHER PEOPLES MONEY"!

Reported that they will file for Chapter 11 this Friday. Another failed green energy attempt, how many does that make now? I also read Carbon Motors may be done.

Epic fail there.... Had potential with the 2.0L turbo generator setup. Gorgeous leather in them... But for 100+k ill pass.
