So this is what, the seventh time?

Or have they just made a career out of living 99.5% of the way to insolvency?

So has Fisker produced more cars or bankruptcies at this point?

In reply to Tom Suddard :

They've got to be leading the bankruptcies per car ratio, at least.

In reply to cyow5 :

They might be 2nd behind DeLorean, but it's close...

Edit: Looking into it more closely Fisker has a strong lead, at about 12k cars produced and 2 bankruptcies (at least?) vs. 9k cars produced and 1 bankruptcy for DeLorean. There were actually more than 3 DeLoreans produced for every Fisker Karma (not counting the all-ICE rebrand sold by another company).

There were several rebrands of the Fisker Karma, including the VL Automotive Revero and the Karma GS-6. That design seemed to get exhumed by another company on an annual basis.

In retrospect maybe naming his new car Ocean after the ocean bankrupted his previous company was just asking for failure. Seems like bad.... Karma. Ba-dum-tsh.
