Cars: Huh? What?

[GLASNOST]

This thing just moved into my neighbourhood within the past couple of weeks. "Fiskar" in Swedish means fisher/fisherman. What the hell is it?

Isn't there a brand of the same name which makes cutlery and utensils for lawn care etc?

Yes, there is. A very famous brand. Normally with orange coloured handle. I have a few scissors.

It's only been here a couple of weeks and I'm waiting for a chance to see who owns it so I can ask him about it.

Not the same company.

Fisker Automotive and Fiskar scissors are not affiliated. Fisker Automotive was an American car manufacturer, while Fiskars is a Finnish company known for its scissors and other cutting tools.

EV from a failed startup. The inventory got dumped for pennies on the dollar because there's no support for it.

Went bankrupt in '24 but the remaining stock was auctioned off fairly recently.

KBB doesn't recommend them--too many problems. A used 2023 sells for ~$12,850. New price for a Fisker Ocean base model is around $37K with the top of the line at $70K. It is an EV with an estimated range of 360 mi.

That is a respectable distance.
