You wouldn’t just out of the blue completely drop support for something existentially necessary for someone to live their life and get to their job day to day would you?
Wait, you would? What the fuck? Weren’t you the one lecturing me about the ethics of downloading a car?!??
Before Fisker’s 2024 bankruptcy, just 419 Fisker Oceans made it into British driveways. One unfortunate buyer, a marketing manager from Southampton, experienced the worst of the brand’s teething troubles. After taking delivery, her Ocean was plagued by persistent software glitches. Following a call to Fisker, engineers were dispatched to collect the vehicle for repairs, but when the car was due to be collected, it refused to start. Mere days later, Fisker declared insolvency, leaving the Ocean stranded as a 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) driveway ornament for the next ten months with no solution in sight.
I would otherwise be excited about the idea of getting an electric car but the way they are steeped in bullshit like this makes me end up planning to only drive old cars indefinitely.
