Fisker came to the market with a PHEV (EREV type) that was not as good as the GM Volt, but more expensive. A more expensive product that is not as good as the competition? This is a fail in economics 101. They didn’t do anyone any favors. I would have terminated the effort earlier.
Henrik Fisker will need to do better than this. Just coming back is not enough.

Rand wrote mediocre fiction which gets young boys all tingly-legged.

Unfortunately, some don’t make it past the belief that what she wrote has some application to the real world.

“In a move worthy of a few paragraphs in one of the good Ayn Rand novels …”
Some people, not me, are attracted to the silly ideas advertised in her books. But you cannot seriously claim she wrote any good novel.

…Hooray. Fisker is saved.

Sorry, I just can’t seem to get too enthusiastic about Fisker. They sell a single, very expensive, (and in my opinion) very ugly car, and that’s about it. They say they have a cheaper model in the works, but they seem to be much less capable of achieving that goal than Tesla currently is.

Their Eco-sustainability model is laudable. I just wish they were more competent at executing it.
