Fisker Ocean

[NecroJoe]

After seeing cars totalled because they couldn't get a replacement headlight cluster after a relatively minor crash, I'm definitely too gunshy to pull the trigger on a Fisker, knowing that they likely aren't making a single "extra" spare part if they can help it.

For 21k would you buy?

When/if the company goes under, the problem will quickly be, how do you get spare parts. They would have to have two way charging for me to even consider one. That way I could use it as part of a home power setup.

even without parts availability uncertainty - so if it were made by an established manufacturer - and while the car does many things right, it seems to simply not be finished...
