Driving Richard Hicks’ matte blue Fisker Ocean One down Highway 95 in Palm Beach Gardens, I found it hard not to like the car. Despite a slightly wonky accelerator pedal, the car was comfortable, quick, and enjoyable. However, I did notice that the cabin felt warm, a problem Richard faced since taking delivery of his Ocean in October—Fisker never resolved the ventilation issue.
With Fisker Inc. facing financial struggles, concerns arise about the fate of Richard’s $70,000 car if the company were to go under. Will it ever get repaired?
Fisker’s Current State Of Health
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Fisker Inc. is in a precarious state. Share values have plummeted, and bankruptcy advisors have been hired. Production has been paused due to challenges in delivering the Ocean crossover, leading to several issues reported by owners.
Considering the uncertain future of Fisker, Ocean owners like Richard Hicks and Bruce Bartlett are anxious about the potential repercussions, including unresolved service issues and poor customer support.
While Fisker remains tight-lipped about the situation, concerns loom over the long-term viability of the company and the fate of its current owners.
