Isn't Fisker going out of business (chapter 11)? Who will step up to the quality issues?

If it's purely a looks discussion I vote the first Fisker
As far as long term reliability, I am no expert on either but I too am curious who will service the car.

I read somewhere recently that Fiskers are selling at stupid discounted prices. Why not just keep the Panamera when you purchase the Fisker?

The car turn heads, people taking pictures when you driving IT get lot of attention.. ,, beautiful design very fast all torque single speed transmision ..
Cost 1.8$ to charge for 50 mile, my daily drive less than that .. with charger on board ( V6 TURBO 170 KW) you don’t have that range anxiety like when you driving a tesla,, take 8 gallon gas good for 300 mile ,, solar panel on the top help on AC AND RADIO.. 60-80 mpg
BREMBO heat regenerative braking ( pads replaced every 100k mile), the car charge from brakes, Solar panel and when you drive on highway on cruise control..
i owned jaguar xfr maseratti porsche .. nothing drive like a fisker 6000lb car it handle like sport car ..

Fiskers look great – But As for Plug-ins go, I’d have theTesla. That PV6 looks really sad lol. I actually considered the Karma until I saw a plethora of negative reviews regarding theirquality (or lack thereof). Ownersspecifically cited cheap interior materials and poor craftsmanship… I never gotto see/drive one for myself, but have “fun”. At $60 – 70K, it’s a steal

I have two friends with them. very cool car. their biggest concerns are no dealerships and when car driven hard range goes way down.

for me it would not work as a daily driver and could never replace the ability of the panamera, more of a novelity car

still very cool!
