Fisker Atlantic (Nina)

[JRP3]

I'm scared. Anyone else scared?

I was counting on no one taking me up on the offer. Thank you.

Not sure I'll be interested, but the dealer I went to to test drive the Karma sent me an email saying they were able to take reservations on the Nina. Something just doesn't feel right about that. Do the dealers take deposits independent of Fisker Corporate or are they just taking deposits and passing it on to the corp? I guess traditionally dealers take orders direct from customers and get allocations, but I thought for higher end vehicles the order had to go on up to corporate. Nissan took orders direct for the Leaf didn't they?

It seems dealers have also been taking orders on the Surf and Sunset and from the article posted earlier we know that it's unlikely the Sunset will even be produced -- so did Fisker authorize deposits on it or were dealers jumping the gun? Wonder how many dealers are issuing refunds or not even aware of the development.

Sure gives me a greater appreciation for Tesla's system.

Smaller crowd than Tesla, but better video feed (at least for the moment).

I missed the opening.

Where are they?

 

[JRP3]

Nice, as he's pushing the range anxiety FUD the sound cuts out :tongue:

That moment is over :biggrin: Sound and video quality dropping, I don't think I'll stick around much longer.

Watching the car love shots. Man, that thing is purdy.

And that color!

 

[doug]

Well, didn't really learn anything. Drivetrain is "top-secret" which means as of yet non-existent, they never showed the car moving. "A lot more room because of the second-generation drivetrain." Or perhaps it didn't have one.

I couldn't see the back seats well, but from the overhead shots, it looks like a 4 seater. I guess they'll be more official photos released soon.

The car looks great, much better than the Karma to my eyes. How is the performance and price?

I don't like these "rat view" photos. They should show how it will look for normal humans standing or sitting near the car. Ofcource all the manufacturers are guilty of these rat angles.

 

[DrTaras]

this is just not a flattering angle.
