Too bad he can't focus on 2-door models. The rear doors look ridiculous.

And today's sign the end is near

That’s because the company sees a future where technology replaces horsepower as one of the primary attractions for new car buyers. Byton President and co-founder Daniel Kirchert, a former BMW executive, has stated he’s "more inspired by Apple than by Tesla."

Just placed my order for one... if it is Fisker or Tesla it must be good.

I own a 2012 Fisker Karma, and was an original investor. Some of you may have seen it at Mark McGowen’s Home a couple year back. I love it, but am currently running into some software glitches. I may pre-order the new car, but worry about Henrick’s ability to run his new company....Just sayin’

This thing looks like a teenage art class group project that came to life. Does it also have a “Fembot” that serves your every need?

If it did, I would be more interested.
 
Hope it comes with a built-in halon system
 
I’m not sure if it looks any worse than a Tesla.

Here are a few photos that may aid in your decision. Its interior looks fantastic:

I looked at Fisker's back in '12. The weekend I test drove one, 2 cars caught on fire in the US. I opted for an early Tesla P85. Have had it 5 years. My car is an early VIN. I've had some glitches including a broken gearbox shaft requiring a new power unit. No parking assist, lane divergence tech, etc. My car doesn't have the hardware to upgrade to current features. It's like owning an iPhone 3 compared to the what's now being offered (the verge of level 5 autonomy). Tech is turning over so fast including energy density in batteries. I worry about Tesla's business model and lack of profitability. For now I'll drive my P85 as it still has a service plan and 3 more years of warranty (8 total). I'm on the list for a Porsche Mission E. Looking to buy from a company that actually makes money :)
 
Henry Fisker is clearly a great designer. Not the best track record for bringing his killer-looking products to market with the quality and reliability that this increasingly sophisticated marketplace expects/demands. Anyone who think that this start-up or any other one can have a car ready for purchase in the short timeframe that he has suggested (2019), is crazy!
 
Call me crazy, but it looks nice to me.
