Electric-Vehicle Startup Fisker Files for Bankruptcy​

Fisker runs out of cash after a failed effort to change its business model and find a financial savior​

Fisker FSRN -1.96%decrease; red down pointing triangle, a much-hyped startup that sought to mimic Tesla’s success, has filed for bankruptcy, roughly a year after releasing its first electric-vehicle model.

Hilarious attempt to deflect from, yet another EV manufacturer failure, and WIKI for your source, duly noted.

Your EV will be worth next to nothing very soon.

The Regime will have to mandate toy cars.

I do think this is coming.

Brandon has built all this infrastructure for Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD, I'm sure that they are very grateful.

Bah, battery power on anything bigger than half a car is NOT viable.

Now a small diesel + electric motor would be perhaps more doable.

Then there's the energy loss thing too..idk.

Diesel + electric works for trains, though.

Don't call that thinking.

Don't call that thinking.

As if you know what thinking is. What kind of EV do you drive, NerdSperg?

What kind of battery is in it?

...who made the battery?

 

[Matt Dillon]

...who made the battery?

Likely someone in Guangdong.

Likely someone in Guangdong.

I doubt he could make a battery.

 

[Matt Dillon]

I doubt he could make a battery.

NerdSperg? Fuck no!

I wouldn't even trust myself doing something like that.

Too many moving parts, too many chances for error. And the bigger the battery, the more moving parts and chances for error there are.

That's just how it is right now. There should be a better way, but "currently" there IS NOT.

"Currently".

We made batteries and gun powder with my chemistry sets. You could order about any chemical you wanted. We made some impressive shit.

Currently, I don't have a chemistry set.
