So they will charge under $30k due to their millions of sales. That’s cool and I will give everyone on this board $100,000 when I make my first billion dollars.

The Ocean is expected to start at $37,499 ($29,999 after the $7,500 federal tax credit).

Not getting 250 to 300 miles with those tires

I presume he's talking specifically about the MEB platform, which will be a shared platform amongst different models (and potentially manufacturers), so millions amongst the platform, not Fisker. Though to me its crazy that they are this far along (or I guess, really, this far behind) and are changing up the platform of the vehicle. Also not sure how you can claim to have a proprietary development process? That seems like "business-talk" gibberish.

Not getting 250 to 300 miles with those tires

Its a little (or a lot) odd for him to use that image in his tweet promoting the vehicle, but the Ocean won't have those tires, that's a render of an off-road version that won't be part of their (at least initial) line-up.

Lol @ him boasting the $29,999 price. Misleading much


How many people owe $7,500 in taxes each year? You only get a credit for the amount that you owe.


This is really a near and over $40,000 SUV with tax and options, if it actually ever comes out that is

Those HP and 0-60 numbers are way off too. No way you are hitting 0-60 under 3 with out at least 500hp on a heavy EV. No way this comes to market like how he says. I doubt it will even make it to market at all.

This confuses a lot of people. What you said is technically correct, but will likely be read wrong by a lot of folks because of the employer withholding situation.

The amount of the refund you get or punt you have to pay in a typical year is irrelevant for the tax credit - that’s about how well the money your employer withheld matches what you owe.

The tax credit goes against your total tax liability, and so most folks that make more than ~$50k per year in the US can receive the full credit.

Once you bankrupt a business in a certain field it makes sense to move to another area,
how otherwise will you be able to secure credit, GM and French auto industry exempt of
course.
Karma can be a bxxxx, sorry Henrik.

Looks like he changed field and is now back into car designing business. Manufacturing will be purely VW I assume.
For VW this is will basically be another brand to add to their portfolio, with full $7,500 tax credit for another 200k cars in USA.

Toyota Supra builder could produce Fisker Ocean, too - Roadshow

May be unprecedented! Magna is a contract builder for car brands.
The moment it decides to build Fisker cars, it will become a competitor for its own clientele.
No doubt, Fisker will ask Magna to step in sharing part of the risk.

Fisker sold out two trim levels destined for the United States for its Fisker Ocean SUV: the $37,499 Fisker Ocean Sport and the $49,999 Fisker Ocean Ultra. Last month, Fisker sold out of the $68,999 Fisker Ocean One limited edition globally, securing $5,000 deposits from 5,000 reservation holders in just 30 days.
