Project Nina It sounds like the design for the Nina Concept is done. After the plant announcement there was a special dealer meeting where they got to see it. Fisker Reveals Project Nina Concept Car | Fisker Car Forum

It's important to keep in mind that first, the media has very little real information to work from. They have obviously not done very much research on this topic. Second, that for all intents and purposes Tesla and Fisker are exactly the same to them. Almost without fail you hear in each report...

Fisker to Debut High Voltage Home Charger in Frankfurt It's not big news but it might be interesting to see if they do anything different from Tesla's approach. Fisker to Debut High Voltage Home Charger in Frankfurt

For me it was practicality. With no access to high power recharge stations the all electric just doesn’t work for anything more than a daily commuter. I could not even take it in for service without spending the night on the way there. The plug-in hybrid is the best alternative for now. I can go...

I did get a FedEx package from Tesla today. Somehow I got side tracked and did not open it. How crazy is that. I didn't have time to open a package with a $5,000 check in it. Assuming it is in there, I will be cashing it tomorrow just in case.

I received an email telling me that the check is in the mail. Should be here this week.

I hear what you are saying. I was in the same boat last month. Now, here I am again this month. I hope you are right. On the other hand these things can always get explained away and seem logical when they are happening. I would prefer to not be the one in the news getting quoted as saying "I...

I hope you are right. Of course many $5k's, plus suppliers, plus trade shows, plus... can all add up quickly.

I was in at the $5k spot. I was not ready to pony up any more cash so I basically lost my place in line. I didn't wait moving the deposit was all mental. Good thing to, I would have lost over 300 spots (and counting) in line with Fisker if I had waited for Tesla to get my money back.

English is my first language. I just don’t know how to use it properly. Now if you can learn how to quote properly then we can all understand things better. :biggrin: Basically what I was saying is that anyone can walk in off the street right now and get the same spot. Leaving money...

Is this a Sign of a Bigger Issue? This is not looking good to me. I first send in a request for a refund on December 8th, 2008. My first reply came back on December 9th, letting me know that they do not exactly understand why I would want it back, but that they would be happy to return it to...

That is where I am at as well. I can't get out of my head that the reason for all the delays of Martin's car was so they could go over it with a fine tooth comb. I'm not convinced that all the cars have the same build quality. I'm waiting to see more reviews from real customers.

This is the most telling part of the whole thing. There are no cars in the hands of non investors. The management of Tesla has made a decision that it is better to not have the cars in the hands of unsupervised impartial parties. At some point something is going to give. I wonder if they think...

What happened to his car? Seems odd he would be in a VP.

I do not consider anyone who has money invested in the company an "actual customer." Perhaps one day soon we will see one.
