Management sucks in multiple level, they should just do like vf8 cheap lease and qualify the $7500 credit. So it make seems the company still standing, now they just destroyed the brand. 38k? Sht Even at 20k it's a huge risks
I'd say a Fisker Ocean is probably better built than anything from VinFast—but VinFast still has better long-term viability…and that's saying something. At least you can lease a VinFast and not be stuck owning a paperweight (not that I'd personally vouch for or recommend either car with so many better options available.)
I totally agree with EV maintenance costs being far far lower than an ICE vehicle. I have an EV for 2 years now and with almost 54K miles in, the only time I have visited the service center is for washer fluid refill and for checking the tire tread depth. So if a person can afford an EV and has good access to public or private charging infrastructure and if the car is from a good established manufacturer then I see no reason for not getting an EV over an ICE. Guaranteed savings over the lifetime!!
Both of you guys should do a service on the caliper slide pins to clean and grease them. Every couple years if you live in a area with cold winters.
Fisker Inc. is an American automotive company founded by Danish automotive designer Henrik Fisker and his wife Geeta Gupta-Fisker. Also, nearly every car has parts made globally -- and some so-called American cars are made in Canada, Mexico, etc. In a global economy, you may want to research your stance.

the company is in a bit of financial trouble but if they get saved, raise money, or get acquired this may be a good deal.
Everything else aside, this is horrible logic when buying a car. It's not an investment that will rise in value along with the company's stock market value, it's a capital cost that will depreciate in value incredibly rapidly 100% of the time.
Buy a car cause you like it and feel it costs something you are willing to spend. If you choose to sell it in a few years, you'll always only get a fraction of that money back.
If having a brand new car is important to you then that's a valid choice, but something you will always pay heavily for. But if you want a "good deal", never buy a brand new car. Buy a 3 year old used car and sell it in another 2-3 years to minimize the depreciation. Or buy a 10 year old car and keep it for as long as you want. I've bought my last few cars from trustworthy sources for fleet vehicles like a rental car or a government vehicle, and I'm very happy with that choice and how much money I saved.

Did you also pay them $500 to replace wiper blades?
Hydrogen is literally the stupidest technology in existence when it comes to renewable vehicles, thanks for basically showing you don't know what you're talking about.
Think about this, if you own an EV with an average sized battery, say 80kwh, and chose to charge at the most expensive DC charger station charging $.50/kwh, you may pay $40 even accounting for charging loses.
Here in CA, hydrogen is about $35/kg. To fill something like the mirari it will cost about $190.
And consider the range for the Toyota mirari and say a model y/Mach E are about the same 250-260 real world miles.
In what world would a consumer suggest paying $190 vs 40?
I don't know why you were down voted, everything you said is correct.
The car is made in Austria if what I heard on the electric Viking is accurate.
The ceo is a known crook. The car has a lot of issues as is, and definitely had some previously used technology but this is a very risky move.
If you buy it and get a commercial loan and register the car commercially as a dba or corp you can get a write off every year for 5 years valued at 60k most likely.
I think the car had a major flaw that's creating this discount and I wouldn't want to find out 40k later.
Hell you can always end up getting in a mysterious accident I guess, if all else fails

The company is a joke of a penny stock and is trading at 20 cents per share. over $600m unpaid liability ready for default.
The "CFO" of this joke of a company is the guy's wife.
The "global head of marketing" is this guy's daughter, who has a "degree" in some "fashion institute".
And you want to give him $37,499?
LOL
