The Vultures Ready to Pounce on the Fisker Carcass

Hardly had Fisker’s bankruptcy been announced when the dismantling of the small manufacturer began quite quickly.

Fisker filed for bankruptcy on Monday, June 17, paving the way for a straightforward liquidation. The company declared shortly after communicating its bankruptcy that it had initiated the legal process to sell its assets, regretting that negotiations with a major automaker had ultimately failed.

This was enough for Lucid to already attempt to reclaim the name of its star SUV, Ocean. Nothing too dramatic since this fairly generic name will anyway be in the public domain for the automotive sector once Fisker’s liquidation is finalized. But it clearly illustrates what is going to happen in the coming months, or even weeks! Fisker is, above all, a technology recognized as serious, with a multi-model platform that could delight a young manufacturer wishing to embark on the electric adventure. It is also a great opportunity for a larger company whose technology would be inferior to that developed by Fisker, and believe us, in Europe or Asia, the list is long!!!

Henrik Fisker has always honestly acknowledged the teething problems of the Ocean, but remained convinced that they were related to poor interactions between its software, easily resolvable through updates. Fisker also has several interesting patents such as the solar roof of the Ocean, the retractable “Houdini” tailgate of the Pear, or the front trunk, the famous Frunk, heating of this unfortunately stillborn model.

In short, Fisker is becoming more interesting dead than alive. A sad reality of the industrial world…
