    Ironically, these fisker automobiles looked like a mixture of a z8 and and a db9.

    Remember when Mac Miller won one and it broke down on the way home from the factory.

    I saw a Fisker Karma when I was driving on the highway one day. Hands down one of the most striking car designs I've ever seen in person, and that's saying a lot. I still think it's an extremely compelling design, it's just too bad they had so many flaws.

    Was hoping for a Childish Gambino reference. You guys did not disappoint.

    About them choosing Valmet Automotive all the way in Finland to build the first cars: They're a contract manufacturer who started out building Saabs, but have since built cars for a whole bunch of brands, including Porsche and are currently building cars for Mercedes Benz. During the Porsche building days the union in Germany complained so they took two one car off the line in Finland, one off the line in Germany and took them apart to see which one was put together better, whereafter the union shut up. Thus if you don't know their history having them build your cars may sound like a really weird thing to do, but if you consider we're talking about a start-up trying to build luxury cars, them contracting manufacturing to a company that's previously built Porches better than Porsche themselves it completely makes sense.

    So Fisker tried to Zuckerberg Musk?

    My dad was one of the many employees who were laid off in 2012. But he absolutely loves this car and is over the moon that they didn't let it die. He thinks of it as his baby. I remember him telling us all about all the problems the car had, so he's super happy that another company was able to fix them all. We both hope the "Karma Revera" succeeds
  • @gremlincc
