$22,500 New EV - Fisker PEAR, built by the maker of the iPhone $22500

$22,500.00
-18 Deal Score
8,277 Views
Car will come out in 2024, but will be revolutionary city car.
Price starts at $29,990, $22,500 with current tax credit.
17 in touch screen
360 degree digital imaging radar setup with cameras

It will be built in Ohio by Foxconn off the MIH platform.

This will probably be a very good flip opportunity.
Reservation cost is $250 for the first, $100 for the second. If you cancel the reservation, Fisker would keep $25 as an administration fee. They did this to reduce fake reservations.

There is a little risk involved here, I just don't think its too much. Foxconn knows how to make stuff, and they're going to make lots of cars off their MIH platform globally.

Apple designs the iphone, Fisker Designs the PEAR. Foxconn and suppliers do most of the engineering.

At this price, I guarantee that the battery will be sold separately.

You can spend $25 to make the bet. EV makers know they have to lock pricing for early reservation holders after the meltdown with Rivian.

Henrick Fisker is designer for lot of high end cars. I am reserving my judgement on how Fisker Ocean will work before reserving the Fisker Pears. He may have experience designing car and Magna may produce it but engineering an EV is where they may struggle.

It could.
Your battery range will be EXTREMELY low though.

With lithium shortages and the political push to go all EV, prices will go up and not down if we all want 300 mile vehicles on current lithium tech.
Likewise, to charge will cost more, too. More demand on the energy grid = higher $0.xx/kW.

That said, my cousin who has a Tesla said it cost him like $20 to charge at home, so definitely cheaper at the moment than gas. But he did pay a premium, so he's getting his ROI now when gas prices are high. Granted, I WFH, so it would take me decades to break even with an EV compared to current gasoline prices.

Hopefully, the next innovation comes sooner rather than later and helps the EV market. I still think that charging is bad, especially for those without a dedicated charger at home (apartments, townhouses/condos) and living in colder climates.

You could travel the world, with an Emeritus level education, and still underestimate the power of fossil fuel integration into industrialized nations.

With the exception of some Scandinavian countries' educational systems; ignorance wins again. Short of making Behavioral Science core education worldwide; this is heading to one BIG Crunch.

Tipping Points are a b*tch.

The bet is $25. I've looked at everything coming out and nothing comes close to $22,500 in 2024.
I'm in the market for a car, but honestly I don't think there's even a 5% chance they'll release it in 2024 for reservation holders. Also what happens when you need car servicing? How easy will it be to get parts/service for a car from a boutique brand?

I'd pay 20% more for a Tesla rebadged as a Toyota cause I know the supply chain/servicing wider.
