Fisker - could this be the next Tesla

Fisker went public through reverse merger. Do you think over the next few years this company could become the next Tesla? Thoughts

Definitely no

SAP lsjdind OP Nov 4, 2020

Why? Reasons?

Asurion tokkale Nov 4, 2020

No way.

As cool as some if their ideas are recently, they lack the engineering and design prowess to make a solid attempt. Unless something changes in that regard, they’ll continue to limp down the very long and complex road of building cars.

Haven’t they tied up with Magna or some other manufacturing giants to help them build cars?

Rivian qfPv78 Nov 4, 2020

Not sure tbh - but basically that would be a contract manufacturer if so, much of the engineering for design and feasibility still need to come from the OEM.

Tesla's software can't be matched easily. They have years of data points from actual cars on road baked into it.

Fisker blew their shot at being a big competitor almost a decade ago when they went bankrupt

Scam artist. His first EV company went bankrupt.

Thank you Blind! This is awesome to get a good review on a potential investment idea.

If you want a Tesla competitor, I’d go with NIO

Xpeng >

No

That guy should’ve stayed with Aston Martin.

Credit Karma 800 Nov 4, 2020

That car has also designed many other cars besides Aston Martin.

Not a lot. A few BMWs. He left AM and apparently stole Model S design and founded fisker.
