Ohhh, Fisker the Car company not Fiskar the scissor company.
Fiskars the blade company also makes Gerber products. The knives, not the Baby food.
Babies can eat knives if they're brave enough
Have you met babies? They'll eat anything, period. Except their food. That's half the challenge in parenting.
It's Fiskars
I bet they'd make a sharp looking car
Really cutting edge.
Stop with the puns... We get the point
I get that we're chopping it up here, but can we cut back on the puns?
In the irradiated wasteland after the climate wars there will be a blacksmith somewhere stamping Fiskars on the crude sheers he uses to shave his two headed sheep.
Then he will be zapped for trademark infringement with an orbital laser operated by the space oligarchs.
And all it took was scapegoating a reviewer kid. (Don't look at the stock prices before that, please)
Fisker found out Brownless got the car from an outside source
That typo is hilarious
“The company is Fisker's second automotive startup. His previous startup, Fisker Automotive, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2013. Fisker launched his second automotive company in 2016.”
Actual picture of investors of the second company: 🤡
And I didn't really think his review was all that scathing.
Marques is actually very balanced even in his critical reviews.
Even with the Humane AI pin, he did commend them on their physical build quality, even if the rest of the device was practically useless, he never outright said that, just points out the flaws.
Although I do wonder sometimes how much he tries to hard to be balanced, as some products, especially cars due to the price, don’t deserve kind treatment for noticeable faults.
It wasn't. Fisker's shitty response is what made it an even bigger deal.
Yeah... if the car wasn't shit, the review would have been more positive. It's not the reviewer's fault the car sucks lol
30 year olds are kids now? This is big
Well tbf a lot of people have been following him since he actually was a kid. He started the channel when he was in high school.
Likely well deserved — but still unfortunate. The EV space only benefits from more options and more competition.
Competition is great, a company that can't produce a quality product and ships a CAR with beta level software that can't update OTA is NOT competition.
The auto industry is highly unfavorable to startups, the competition you want will come from the old ICE OEMs.
Fisker said it hired a Chief Restructuring Officer in the hopes of staving off bankruptcy.
Ah yes. No better way to reduce costs than hiring another C*O.
and then abruptly cut its price so it could quickly get rid of existing inventory.
Why would anybody buy a new car that has no future of warranty or parts availability?
You can buy like 2-3 for the price of one. If you didn’t need to worry about software issues it would be a good purchase.
If you’re looking for a good chassis and powertrain with no need for anything g else it might make sense.
If it's cheap enough, someone will buy. I'm interested to know how it'll work in this case though.
I read that as Fiskars first, and thought noo not the scissor company! But all is good, just another EV startup gone flop.
THANKS MKBHD
Thanks MKBHD for not sucking corporate dick and actually showing issues with products and helping people make informed decisions on their purchases, right?
of course, i posted this as a joke (like "thanks Obama"), i really doubt his review had anything to do with the company going bankrupt, but seeing the downvotes i'll really think twice before commenting
Down votes are fake on here. Never think more than once before commenting.
dont let the disagree votes stop you. their weight is meaningless
and if you get downvoted for a good joke, let it roll
Surprise surprise. The CEO of a company I used to work for migrated to Fisker a good 10 years ago. By migrated I mean he injected a shit CEO who then ran down the company into bankruptcy and sold the pieces. This seems appropriate somehow. I mean the guy was alright, it's just that the other junk CEO fucked up the company. Sort of like Google do no evil meets "hey you're running out of the 15gb so I'm deleting your shit next month" CEO.
Friend, I've read this three times and still have no idea wtf you're trying to say.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
