Tesla blacklists Fisker Ocean in the United States

In the face of bankruptcy threats, Tesla has decided to no longer accept trades of Fisker Ocean in exchange for the purchase of a new car.

No mercy for the degrowth advocates. With clouds gathering over Fisker, amid great bankruptcy threats or a potential low-cost acquisition by a competitor, the current risk of buying a new car arises.

But in the United States, those who have already taken the plunge and are therefore owners of a Fisker seem to be looking to get rid of it as quickly as possible. So much so that Tesla has instructed its dealers to no longer accept its rival Fisker’s cars as trade-ins for the purchase of a Model 3, Y, or others.

Another nail in the coffin?

By making this announcement, Tesla drives its rival Fisker further down. It’s all part of the game, one might say. Tesla’s second argument against Fisker stems from the endangered manufacturer’s decision to massively lower the price of its Ocean for its 2023 stock models. These now start at $24,999, a staggering price aimed at clearing out inventory and urgently bringing in cash.

This has a gigantic impact on the resale value of used models, which see their value collapse instantly. But this emergency decision, like a final spasm before death, has greatly frightened Fisker owners.
