They have gone bust!

Hope any deposits can be recovered!

Good luck..



For anyone interested, look up what a SPAC deal is, the sort of companies that use them to get listed on stock exchanges, and how well it always goes. Nikola anyone?

Noticed a couple of Fiskers on a trade to trade site during the week. They were looking for in excess of £25k with no bids.

Have also seen a couple on Carwow, private sellers reserved at very low £30’s with no bids.

Interesting view of it

I said earlier Grenadier Jim should buy the business and get it sorted. Not a huge fan of him but he could just make it work. He could rename it the “ Dog and Duck”.

Yeah, it seems the management were a bit on the psycho-screechy side:

Autotrader has 23 plate delivery mile cars for half price.

30k now for a 60k car

That's insane money for a 113kWh battery. I suspect they border on impossible to insure given the lack of replacment body parts.

They will probably be sold for parts.

The car was a hot mess anyway just look at the reviews on youtube.

I wasn’t aware anyone had one in the uk. That could end up being an expensive ornament.

Funnily enough, I saw an Ocean yesterday on the M1 going Northbound near Nottingham. Bright blue in colour. First one I've seen.

[dapprman]

I've seen 2-3 around Watford over the last few months. I say 2-3 as I've seen 1-2 blue ones which could have been the same car. Third was a black one.

[MrBig]

Shame, I was seriously considering an Ocean as our next family car, they look superbly practical and 'California mode' looks brilliant for the odd sunny we get!

Insurance is probably the only insurmountable gotcha.

Driven carefully you could probably do >100000 miles without even having to change the brake pads.

And if it goes wrong or has a software issue?

Likewise, didn't think any had been sold but saw my first Ocean in a dark blue around Harpenden this past weekend

There's a white one I see with a Fisker related number plate.

The base model would have potentially offered a lot of value but I wasn't brave enough to take the plunge.

I would have been interested in 2021/22 when I signed up for the pre-order list for the Ocean Sport, but by the time they actually became tangible, the whole thing had lost appeal and seemed a bit mouth and no trousers.

Love the look, but beyond that they are destined to be a pub quiz answer

[Mezzanine]

I’ve seen a few around my way recently (Milton Keynes/Northampton) they were on private plates so assume they were private buyers.

There's been over 350 registered in the UK!
