Fisker CEO: Prospective Investment Partner 'Not Chinese'

- Fisker is seeking a financial lifeline as liquidity challenges put its survival in doubt, the latest sign of stress in an electric vehicle market plagued by slowing growth and questions over consumer demand. Fisker CEO Henrik Fisker joins Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Technology."
I'm a FOO owner, and other than the software issues that look to be getting better soon , this car is amazing. The build quality is excellent with no exterior or interior issues to speak of, other than needing to replace the air vents. The customer service is significantly better than when I took delivery of the car in October. They sent me the parts and the next day the tech came to my house to repair. No other dealer or manufacturer has done better in my experience. I'm rooting for Fisker, competition is key for a better consumer outcome.
Tesla had a solid 8 years to get their software decent. People expecting perfection from Fiskers software in the first year is very strange. I think most folks are low-key hurt the Ocean is a much better product than the Y in terms of build quality and styling, so they go extra hard on its software shortfall. I'm keeping my preorder for the Alaska and I'm very happy Henrik mentioned "it's ready to go." Hopefully Christmas 24 I'll be getting some good news.😅
@@BremboT Yes, you are absolutely right
We love our FOU so much. Such an incredible car. The Pear and the Alaska look so dope as well. These are cars that consumers are going to love and i believe Fisker can gobble up a lot of EV market share. This is too good of a product lineup to go down.
Well done Henrik. Nissan would be a fantastic partner.
Very good interview well done from the Bloomberg journalists. 👍
Mazda or Toyota. Nissan already has the Arya, which is a solid offering. Great space, decent design and charging is surprisingly strong.
@@BremboTNo you don't get it. Reuters has named Nissan. It's to build a pickup truck.
@@martinmcnulty8155 Wow!! My Alaska being built by Nissan would be pretty amazing!
@@martinmcnulty8155 So Magna would keep the Ocean and Nissan build the Alaska?
@@BremboTYes that seems to be the plan.
Let's go FISKERRRRRRRRRR
Fisker really made a great car with 3 other models in the bullpen. I put 15.5k miles on my Ocean One already in 12 weeks and it will only get better as the software is updated and improved. I am absolutely impressed with how evenly the tires are wearing as well. My other EV'S killed the tires by this point. I have at least 5k miles left on this set. How long will the tires on a CT last?
only 20k miles on tires? is this an across the board ev thing?
@parkdavis2079 I wish! Barely saw 15k on my wife's 2022 Wrangler OEM tires and I see a lot of other vehicles, both EV and ICE getting short use from OEM tires.
thats terrible. I mean im really used to getting 40k-60k and tires are quite expensive.@@fastgolfr32
Fisker will turnaround and thrive
I think it's gonna hit .36 cents then it's gonna turnaround to .60 cents
Sadly not going by this morning's news.
2 cents now
Great Interview
The FISKER Ocean sells itself. It's a solid build and very stylish.
the OCEAN not even made by Fisker, they are FRAUDS.
Nothing was mentioned about them running out of cash this quarter.
The fisker ocean drives amazing i just dont know why the stock is shorted so heavily they need to partner with someone immediately
Because it’s simply not a good car. It’s very simple
Fisker and Nissan! 🚀
Naw.. the Arya is a competitor to the Model Y and Ocean.
It would be Mazda and Fisker if anything. Mazda has surprisingly turned their petrol vehicle business into a more premium offering. Where they struggle is with EVs. Their EV was atrocious! Mazda's build quality would sort of align with Fisker. But what would a Mazda Fisker partnership look like? Would Fisker share ev tech patents for cash?
Both Mazda and Toyota are struggling with pure EVs, and conveniently, they both share manufacturing in Alabama. Strong possibility it's Mazda, or Toyota. Which is the same, when it comes to US manufacturing.
@@BremboT these partnerships already exist with the large OEMs, Toyota and BMW with the Supra/Z4, Toyota and Subaru with the 86/BRZ, GM/Honda with the Blazer/Prologue. Mazda's North American are a Toyota plant in Alabama and another factory down in Mexico. Mazda isn't the best partner considering their development budgets aren't that huge. Plus this partnership is for a midsize electric truck platform that Nissan needs to replace the aging Frontier platform.
Nope. Not now.
Very relieved to hear he is not talking with any Chinese OEM. That was a real possibility based on what occurred with the Karma back in the early 2010’s.
I can’t wait for 2.0 to download. My car has been running better every trip i have taken since Nov 2023. Done 4 roundtrips between Seattle and Portland(or Salem,OR) of anywhere from 350-450 miles and the mileage/efficiency has improved each time, the alerts have all but disappeared and the car rides as smooth/smoother as my previous German sedans.
Hang in there, HF, but maybe loosen up your grip in the reigns a bit?
I bought 10k shares after those nissan kind of news
What do they sell? I might want to buy too
A high quality ev that looks good and is affordable @@CharlieKelly-ub5qw
How much did you pay for?
Big mistake. Fisker now toast.
Fisker will recover and if you invest in the way to cheap stock now, you will make a lot of money in the future.
Great car yes, he needs to focus on the car and be stripped of finance decisions.
EXCELLENT BRAVO HENRIK
Strong 300 % Increase in Ocean Suv EV deliveries expected in 2024 compared to 2023...22,000 to 4,900. Revenue surging 180 % in 4 th quarter..$ 201 million compared to 3rd quarter 2023 of $ 71 million. Nearly 360 million shares trading Today.
Yes, you are absolutely right
After driving the Ocean, and driving the Y, I can say there is no competition, Fisker wins every day in every way. Future looks great for Fisker.
The FIsker Ocean is an outstanding automobile! Love it!
the OCEAN is not even made by Fisker, it's made by MAGNA, on a OUTDATED ICE car platform.
Give me an Ocean, hell, let me lease it super cheap and ill drive and advertise it.
NISSAN
I will bet on Jaguar Land Rover being the partner.
As an Ocean One owner, I am biased, but this car is absolutely amazing and feels like much better quality than the Y and 3. I haven't sat in a model S so can't compare (and not the same category anyway).
All it needs is for all the features to be unlocked and it is a beast of a car for the price. OS 2.0 is finally the right version of this car that needs to be reviewed and showcased.
It's Nissan.
Interesting speculation with the Jag and Rover group. iPace is a hot mess, and Rover not really in the EV space yet. I could easily see a Jag customer feeling at home in an Ocean. However, I think it's Mazda and Toyota. Both are struggling with EVs, and both share manufacturing plants in Alabama, which means the Ocean and the Alaska would qualify for EV incentives.
But... Foxconn!? Henrik said its not Chinese. But Foxconn is Taiwanese, but China refuse to let them have their independence. So I'm not sure if Foxconn is Chinese or Taiwanese😅.
Well all news reports say Nissan now. I'm ok with that.
@@SilvanoWilliams Those were blogs. Unless an actual news site reported?
@@BremboT Reuters did and several others. But they may just be spreading sensationalized stuff, who knows. Fisker hasn't said anything I don't think.
“We don’t need a saviour. Let me spend 5 minutes pumping the stock, and 1 minute answering your questions, which are all about understanding how great we are while going bankrupt”. -Henrik
It's Nissan
Why would it be Nissan? The Arya is already a decent offering. Most likely Toyota and Mazda
Hahaha. Nissan with its $51 billion debt classed as Junk by S&P. What kind of partnership would that be? The only thing Nissan has to offer is a dedicated EV production line. Something Fisker doesn’t need. They need cold hard cash. And only a fool would give Henrik more money to burn on a great looking inferior product.
@AKA001 Inferior in what way? Teslas first software was garbage, took them north of 10 years to get it working somewhat right. This is the first year of the Ocean
Its been confirmed the OEM in talks is Nissan... 🎉
Fisker will BANKRUPT Nissan even Faster.
The Car is great, Software with 2.0 stunning. Comeback is possible.
Idk about that, MKBHD recently reviewed it and he wasn't impressed lol. Also the Fisker tried to stop him from reviewing it, doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Brownlee didn't have the current software. Not his fault but context matters.
@@kryptomaniac4946 Think his water was off because he didn't bother to wash it, background was staged, gloomy day outside too . He didn't even do much research on the Ocean, looked like an amateur utuber.
@@kryptomaniac4946Something weird about that "review". Reviewers tend to use the most current software for their reviews (sometimes they install future builds ahead of official release). Marques reviewed an Ocean running very old software, and I'm sure he knew. So many owners pointed out the obvious older software layout, and I too saw a lot of missing features that are currently out today. I hate to say this, but Marques did that "review" maliciously. He's been doing tech reviews long enough to know using the most upto date software for tech products is standard.
I hope for Fisker Great EV:s!! I'll buy one if the Company makes it thru 2024
Seeing a lot of these in Atlanta. Never driven one but they look very elegant for an EV
Hello I would like to invest into Fisker. Please let me know how. I detail a Fisker Ocean & I am sold on them & want to be a part of the team
The Fisker has been a fantastic car for us at EV-365. Software needs work but they have the road map and are pushing updates. The car itself is built well, drives great, and looks fantastic. This merger would be great.
Fisker is FRAUDULENT, does not even make the OCEAN, it's made by MAGNA.
on a OUTDATED ICE car platform.
$FSR LES GOOO! 🔥
I hope they get saved I'm the schmuck that believed in then over 2 years ago and bought at $22 and I'm still holding now when it's at like 50 cents. Ouch
Me too, dollar cost averaged to $2.10 🤞
Same I’m holding as well…nothing to lose now! Haha
Don't worry they will pull through! I believe in the fisker ocean
same
I still believe FISKER will bounce back.. due to its great SUV with very unique features, like Solar Roof, lowering rear window, digital rear camera, Taco Trays...Best part is option to choose between AWD and FWD. Other cars are fixed either FWD or AWD. But we can choose that option in FISKER, so reduce the power consumption.
Nissan.
What do they sell?

#FSR #Fisker
#fiskerFRAUD.
CEO just wanted screen time to say "our car is better than world's best selling car" 😂😂
I was interested in Fisker Ocean. I’ve asked about their flex lease. About 3.5 months later last week the rep from Fisker emailed me. I saw the email and was turned off what the rep said. The rep was telling me an order to financing/leasing you have to have ownership or leasing/ finance any of these brands an order to qualify. I’m talking high end brands cars. The rep listed these brands. I was are you kidding me just to get a Fisker Ocean flex lease or financed through them only if you had one of those brands cars. Oh well, lost my service!
Fisker and Vinfast? I know Vinfast is struggling to get their EVs, like the VF8, to beat simple EVs like the Chevy Bolt in range, not to mention Teslas. With Vinfast massive capital and Fiskers prowess for EV efficiency, that would be a massive collaboration. I can see a future where Vinfast VF Wild and Fiskers Alaska, perhaps becoming the same truck. They both look gorgeous, both targeting compact truck market, both have folding midgate.. interesting times.
Why he keeps saying that Fisker is the only Model Y competitor? There are clearly plenty, Ioniq 5 for example. Maybe I’m missing something?
Two late filings and this one is still unaudited. To save the company, they first of all need a real CFO with battle hardened experience, not just hiring his wife.
Yup, she has to go. Two late filing is just ridiculous.
Nissan needs to gain all the knowledge and techniques all they can from this partnership so they can improve their EV offerings, but personally I would rather Nissan just acquire Fisker, Fisker is cheap right now their stock is tanking, Nissan can just literally rebadge their products into either Nissan or Infiniti. Fisker needs Nissan more than Nissan needs Fisker. If its just a partnership and a cash infusion then Fisker will still go bust, they don't have a factory of their own in USA, but if Nissan buys them out then they can retrofit their cars into Nissan's own North American plants.
Fisker has ZERO technology. the OCEAN is made by MAGNA on a OLD ICE car platform.
Still no confirmation on Henriks claim to 5 star crash safety rating made in April 2023. Nearly a year ago.
Fisker in Deal with Uber to provide the Ocean One as rental to Uber drivers. Would be good to expand Ubers Green Fleet and good for volume sales for Fisker.
I reckon it's Toyota
I like Fisker it's kinda funky in design. They just need a sedan.
4:34 longer range… is claimed longer range. With a significantly bigger battery and unproven efficiency.
fantastic car, unbelievably amateurish behavior by HF - please step back and let professionals save what can still be saved.
the OCEAN is a very CRAPPY car made by MAGNA, not Fisker.
Fisker is just unlucky with woth their timeing!If they would have started 2 years earlyer things would looks way better!
How about AAPL
if you get a merge or investor you will get your stock price up fast!!!!!
They should have dumped this price reduction in Canada where there are no import tariffs on European built goods. This would not have affected future US pricing. They could have been sold and serviced through Canadian Tire almost overnight.
So HF says "We are doing really well, despite all the warnings and concerns out there".
What a liar and fraud! How can you say that line, knowing the warnings and concerns were real and true!?
Con man.

A partnership only works if you something to offer. The only thing you offer is looks. Looks is only skindeep. Tesla isn’t even worried about you. Why bring them up?
0:53 Features… are not benefits. The stuff that is supposed to work just doesn’t.
if i had the money i would partner fast..this is a liquidation price kinda situation any smart buisness person would jump in. ev is the future gas cars are bad for atmosphere . its killing people . just like the internet people didnt understand it at first technology scares people but its evolution the future we need to improve not stay in the past gas cars will be done ev is the future
Fisker CEO is blinking 35-40 times per minute during this interview, an obvious sign of someone lying.
no need for bankruptcy get a investor or merge with an existent company fast you have cars ready to go thats money any good business person even from saudi arabica would merge go to dubai or uk. or even american company merge fast both make money profit gains dont give up you will get sued not good keep going even if you have no money in your bank bit get it going sleep in your office if you have to henrik,,,
There is no competitive advantage in this company. And that's why he failed twice, I think.
Good car tough time.
This video aged like milk..
When he said 'they wanna kill us" he was reffering to Elon and his dogs
I think it's gonna hit .36 cents then it's gonna turnaround to .60 cents
I needs to be over 1$ otherwise im still in the lose and they getting delisted.
LOL in just one month, Fisker is now close to bankruptcy. All it took was one reviewer saying the Ocean sucks, and moreover, can't suck enough.
Nissan Won’t save Fisker with money. Which means they can’t be saved.
Ford or Stellantis? Comes down to who wants to go after a piece of Tesla
Why Ford? Their Mustang EV SUV is decent and they already have a truck in the Lightening. Fiskers two first vehicles are an SUV and a Truck. Lol. Very unlikely.
@BremboT more leverage for Ford if their EV brand gets disrupted. I'm not sure, but I think I heard Ford is also an investor in Rivian.
Fisker need make better approach on Vlogers..a Bad review can destroy a good work...
More range is weak differentiation against a company that has a huge charging network and fast charging.
Tesla has opened up their charging, that's no longer an advantage.
Why buy Fisker when there is Tesla? I dont see any reason besides cheaper price, if it is cheaper
Fisker Alaska is really going disrupt the market place. The legacy OEM's have dropped the ball basically going to standard hybrids which the technology is probably 10 years old or more. Fisker has shown to be really innovative. Now with the dealer model I and others will be able to test drive the vehicles which is key. I will be buying more shares and reserving my Alaska soon.
Fisker is FRAUDULENT.
As an Ocean One owner and Fisker investor... this video is as much BS as the MKBHD one was. The lady in pink asked the only real question - and of course got no answer or acknowledgement. The truth is Fisker is in trouble. They need to sign the OEM ASAP. They cant even push the 2.0 out in Feb - to a handful of owners. How do we know cars going to dealerships will be updated with the critical parts of OS 2.0 and OS 4.0?
they are screwed to be polite. they wont survive. this is just some marketing, but like you said, he numbers are really too bad
@@Frenchy78180 22,000 Ocean Suv Ev sales equals approx $ 1.2 billion in 2024 revenue.. they will be find, just can't produce the Alaska until things improve.
When will you stop diluting the stock, Mr Designer. $.51 what a POS
He has to delude the stock,thats the only way to get some money!
Good, dawn the drain u go. Bad management eh? Really? When they tried to trick Tesla and accuse Tesla? Since thats what they founded their company on by the founder. If Nissan go ahead I am bot buying any Nissan anymore. Or Mitsubishi which I actually like.
It is written all over the wall. 'Strategic' initiatives are just buzzwords execs use when they don't know what they do and have a poor track record.
This dude should collect 1 billion n go private. People will respect him more retail buyers will never buy his vehicle if the stock price doesn't bounce. Bankrupt next!?
I just bought $30k in stock.
Did you really ?
How many shares is that
I just bought 10k shares at .15😊
Because it is STELLANTIS
Could be..
TESLA is the BEST!
Fisker does not have the longent range and neither does Tesla... look around or stop lying
"Priced less than a Model Y"
This is not a positive thing. There is zero chance Magna (who makes the Fisker) will beat Tesla on cost. This guy is a scam artist.
I bloody well hope it is not the Chinese.. I will curse at the Chinese stupidity if they are the investors.
FSR..."good night nurse".
What is Henrik smoking? I want some of his pot. Has more features than Tesla? Dude, please watch the review of your car, it's horrendous. It's called "the worst car he ever reviewed" by MKHB. There's other famous reviewers who come to the same conclusion. Fisker went bankrupt already once with his previous cars and he will go bankrupt again. He might be a good designer but he doesn't know how to build a car at a profitable price, nor manufacture it in high production numbers. Sorry dude, you're in the wrong job and I can't believe that you found investors who believe in the BS you're saying to back you up financially.
Fisker last try got $520 million and a free old GM plant . Went broke , screwed dealers and gone with $taxpayer money 💰 let’s do it again ? The great green swindle 😮

Whith dealers' "mark-ups" how is it going to be a better priced vehicle?? One of the reasons Tesla is so successful is that customers don't have the deal with the usual nonsense with dealers.
There are no dealer markups!
The reality is that no Chinese auto maker is interested in Fisker because Fisker doesn’t have anything that they don’t have. And their cars looks totally like cheap gimmicky shit
He is such a liar. Cheaper price than model Y my ass. Long Range Model Y = $48,990. A similar equipped Ocean Ultra with max package = $59,998
lol he is definitely a con. I dont know why he pull that lie. seriously
This guy is delusional. There are suv out there right now beating the model y , avatr, and zeekr. I doubt any Chinese OEM would want to partner with Fisker as they are better. I also chose Tesla because I am so sick of dealing with greedy stealership. Ppl on here all cheer for them are probably deep in losses.😂
He isnt delusional,but its very hard right now for every ev startup!
@brunoheggli2888 This guy just has a very bad track record, not the first time he flopped and lost billions. Lied about tech that didn't exist or worked, overstated production numbers, in congressional hearing because he lied about the federal loan. I hope Nissan or whichever OEM will buy into this bs.
Is this Karma? 😂😂😂😂
Karma is now CHINESE owned.
@markplott4820 we know that it, this was a play on words. Fiskar is toast without help from a major.
EV prices are too high and what makes the experience worse is you CAN"T get QUALIFIED service when something breaks....
Really a good, well built and steady car killed by Henry's inefficient operations.
Its not hes fault!Hes just very unlucky,because of bad timeing!If he had been starting this new Company 2 years earyer things wouls look way better!Thype around ev is gone,so its more difficult to get some money from Investors!Interesst rates are also way higher!
Stock will likely get tripled of the investors are indeed Chinese😂
Look up MKBHD’s review of Fisker Ocean. Titled “Worst car ever.”
Not saying it's a good car but mkbhd lives in an alternate universe and isn't well versed.
Fisker is about to be delisted.
They have about 160 days to remedy the stock price

And why wouldn’t you wanna partner ship with Nissan a completely shitty Japanese manufacture out of all the Japanese automobile companies Nissan is the weakest company
This is a terrible car company ran by a terrible person. You can’t make this up about Fiskar it’s a terrible company. They are headquartered in Manhattan Beach California. Why would you do that a very expensive city and you don’t manufacture anything. The reason why you would have your headquarters in Manhattan Beach is because the soul sucking CEO that owns that company or runs it lives in a multi million dollar home in Manhattan Beach. Do you know this man would not want to drive more than 5 miles to the headquarters of his worthless company. People should’ve seen the writing on the wall when this company took well over $100 million from the federal government and declare bankruptcy immediately but yet this man continue to live in his mansion and continue to run the company. Only people from X Soviet satellite states Could possibly take so many millions of dollars from people and keep a straight face living in your mansion having your headquarters in a city that you don’t manufacture anything
