I just took a small "ish" position in the company. If it continues to fall I will add more. As I understand it the delivered 1.2k cars in October...assuming they can keep that pace for November and December that is 3.6k cars. If they are able to do even better like today they said they were able to deliver 100 cars yesterday. If they can do that everyday between now and end of next quarter that would be approx. 4.5k cars, plus the approx. 1.8k cars prior to today. That's 6.3k cars this quarter. That would be about 140 million in revenue on the low end and 245 million in revenue on the high end using my numbers. Is that enough to impress Wallstreet? Have any reputable analysts come out with 4th Q projections that anyone has seen.

Hi
I don't understand american philosophy. VW stopped the production for the id3 id4 and id5 for the rest of the year. No engines for the car. Also haves VW a terrible software. More than 100 years car production! Fisker is a start up, with so much innovation, solved problems quickly and gets a unbelievable shit storm. For what?
I really don't understand.

It is a bit easier to understand if you do not believe every lame excuse a business puts forth.
Automakers make up all kinds of stories to cover up lack of demand. VW on parts, Fisker on delivery etc....it is a matter of pricing, with competitors offering more for less.

Thank you very much, I understand.
I have been working in the automotive business for almost 40 years. With all the leading car manufacturers in the world. I myself was in China for 5 years when they still wanted to learn.
The lies are necessary to lure inverstors and to give consumers the impression of a perfect world. The best slogan is "we are the good ones". In Germany 20 years ago, 80% engineers were the managing directors, today it's 70% businessmen. They only calculate in 5-year intervals. If it doesn't work out, it goes somewhere else. The rest should see where they stay. These are the facts. I'm also unhappy when I don't get something according to plan. But you used to be able to talk about it. Today you have to let yourself be insulted and everything bad is lied about. It's best to punish them immediately!
I just stick to the facts. I can see someone saying that they are not launching a perfect product at the time of the first deliveries. But mechanically delivers amazing mechanical quality for a start up. Of course, the tests (databases) from 100 years of experience are missing. But these are small things compared to the other leading electric vehicle manufacturers on the market who have databases. Let's be honest, 1-2 months later isn't a big deal. Others wait over a year with initial forecasts of 3 months, so the delivery date is permanently postponed by +- 6 and sometimes even +12 months!
I'm also unhappy if I don't receive something on the agreed date. But people used to talk to each other about it. Today you get told off immediately and then you have to let the whole world know. You yourself are the yardstick.
In Germany we say . "Bevor wir andere kritisieren, sollten wir erst einmal vor der eigenen Tür kehren!" Before we criticize others, we should put our own house in order first!
You see i like the Fisker Company. Its a other feeling, familiary. And the car design is magnificent (timeless) also 50kg-200kg (Alaska) recycled material its 500% to 2000% more than others!
