There is a rule of thumb in real estate that your first offer is likely your best offer. It applies to any business transactions where the seller is in the weaker position. Pride cometh before the fall.
So eloquently put. 100% agree
I thought the rule of thumb is a Fallout thing XD
Picked up my Extreme yesterday at the discounted price. I find this vehicle really enjoyable and fun to drive. Its comfortable, quiet, handles well, looks great, has excellent build quality, range is insane and has impressive options and performance. True the software is a work in progress but can be fixed and upgraded in future versions like Tesla did early on. I can't imagine one of the established US or foreign automakers not picking up the Fisker intellectual property and completing the project. Hopefully, it will include taking on the service and warranty obligations for existing Ocean owners. 🙏
Congrats on your new Ocean! I hope someone picks it up
How much did you pay?
Congratulations. Did you have to pay cash? I heard that you can't get a loan, is that right?
@@brunoheggli2888all Extremes are approx. $40K inluding the destination charge. Vehicle listed for $73K with destination.
@@arshadkamel4640 Thanks. $1k cash down. Financed the rest through BOA. If you have good credit banks will lend against the Ocean.
I agree - ANY OFFER. Henrik can't believe he has any rights now. It's not about him. It's about the employees, owners, Magna, etc.
The EV can survive. The service has adapted. Magna has been more than capable of manufacturing quality cars and the IP would become the domain of whoever buys the company.
He's a narcissist and pathological lier
@@johnklaman9548why buy the company just for its IPs when it'll be way cheaper at BK auction?
Any offer.
Thank you so much for these videos! It is really good to see your summaries and opinions.
Thanks for watching!
My issue with this news is that Fisker puts things out like this, like with the Nissan merger and it all turns out to be fluff to keep people invested in the company. Based on how Fisker has handled this company, I just can't believe anything he puts out anymore. And as for it being an internal meeting. Does that mean he and his family had dinner to talk about the impending doom? I thought all the positions of power were all family members? It's a shame really, because it does look like he had some great vehicles in the works and I'd have loved to gotten a Pear.
The new board members reflect a bankruptcy filing. There were definitely several dinners. Based on the current situation, not many were jovial.
Makes a lot o’ sense Adam. Thanks for the insights.
Thanks for watching!
Spot on. My wife is an asset based lending finance attorney at a major firm and came to the same conclusion as you when I showed her this.
It’s a harsh reality
Congratulations on an honest and realistic analysis, in complete contrast to the dreamers on other RUclips channels who still believe someone will buy Fisker. You're quite right, Fisker is doomed, and that will mean ongoing parts and repairs will be difficult for owners to find, effectively making their cars worthless. Henrik has a track record...
Indeed. Totally true
That's it so heartbreaking because the ocean is such a cool car. The people my heart breaks the most for are those employees who poured their blood sweat and tears they didn't go to family functions they worked extra hours because they thought this company was going to make it!
Only to find the CEO making the exact same mistakes he's made before!! 😢
If it wasn’t for the fact they have Dubel and Deutsche Bank involved (and others), I’d pretty much completely dismiss this, however, with those guys now essentially running the company, I think there’s a chance this may be true. Whether or not a deal can be closed in time before the company completely runs out of money, however……
Well put and objective.
I don't believe anything Henrik says. If it came from someone else brought it in salvage the business, I'd be more inclined to believe.
I don’t blame you one bit.
>$1billion of debt is a big ask of a buyer to finance - we’ve seen similar sized buy outs of failing companies in Europe but there’s always been a write down of the debts or basically the buyer has bought the company for €1 and covered the debt and usually the failing company has something like tech or IP that the buyer is really keen to get their hands on and prepared to swallow that bitter pill. How many automotive companies are there out there with the cash/ loan ability to cover that amount of debt? Certainly not any of the Japanese car makers and very few of the European car makers could afford to cover that size of debt. There might be an Indian conglomerate or a Chinese one but even the Chinese would have a few wobbles about taking that much debt and Fisker doesn’t have anything really special in the tech or IP that the Chinese would want to buy.
But Fisker has a kind of access to the US market which is usually quite strange for Chinese and their way of thinking. They believe it is horrible to get their feet into the american market and such a buyer would pay something for such easier entry even though a detour.
And they would not pay anything and they must be also in need for a new market which means a stable production and limited success in their domestic market.
Come on man, that Taco Tray is such a game changing technology. Worth atleast half a billion. And don't forget about California mode, it rolls down ALL the windows. Who would risk the farm on that type of tech.
@@ramonhurt69😂
Solid info here
Thanks Adam for an honest and realistic analysis even if it's not what I would wish for.
Definitely not what I would wish for either.
Perfect summary Adam, I concur 100%. I also think that if there has been any interest from existing automakers, they would mostly be Chinese. Remember that Fisker Automotive (Henrik's previous bankrupt car company) was also sold off to Chinese buyers thru its bankruptcy.
Spot on. The reason he didn’t say the names of the companies is because nobody in this part of the world has heard of them anyway
great job, well done, and it must be really time consuming to dig deeper and deeper into the Fisker underground always asking yourself why you have bought this car and not a "usual" one like all the others.
At the end you have a very limited edition which will no longer increase, but decrease one way or the other.
Well said
You nailed it Adam
I appreciate this
Excellent analysis
Thanks for this!
Praying 🙏🏼 Toyota or someone else takes over. The Ocean is such a cool car. I've been waiting for it to hit the market. 😢 Now to witness this is very sad. Ocean seems to have major issues as well. I'm still drawn to want one!!! 😂 Yet getting updates and service with be a huge issue. 😢
I would not recommend this car.
Not sure there’s any control Henrick can have over his designs (sketches really), just a customer list. Contracts, engineering, and IP with Magna will be separately negotiated. There is no going-concern, no goodwill to acquire.
Thanks for your feedback
Adam, your highlighted points are spot on, if only Henrick could moved that ego to the left just a bit. Although it’s not putting lives in direct jeopardy as with the Titan Submersible founder Stockton Rush, but a man and his ego can be catastrophic.
Well said.
In order to continue selling the remaining cars and keep staff working hard to do so... Some promise of hope had to be given.
But the fact that no emphasis is being put on customer.service and servicing vehicles already sold.... Is a bit of a tell tale sign.
With that said... I already know GM servicing departments had internal emails on Fisker. GM is definitely 1 of the supposed 4 looking.
Hope. It’s all we have
I wonder if the ultimate buyer would even want the brand… I’m thinking it would be a badge swap opportunity at best. But who knows, people find strange value in a lot of things written off by others.
Let’s hope there’s some strange buyers out there
I received my Ultra at end of January. I received the 2.0 OTA update Easter Sunday without issue and am enjoying the ride. I received my license plate and registration within the 90-day temp tag timeframe. I also received a phone call last week following-up on receipt of the tag and an e-mail this morning to make sure I am taken care of. The last two interactions don't seem to be those of a company on death's door. PS. I also scheduled a visit from a Fisker tech in Feb. and had Raymond come out and assist me prior to the 2.0 update. My experience seems to be better than most.
My experience has been great (with the employees). Unfortunately, I analyze the company for videos. And I know more than I’d like to
@@Aslash304you have inside info?
@@angeladowden9538does anyone?
A quick thought, I am not sure if they are still have the leasing program in place but do you think that a lease is the safest bet?
What are your thoughts Adam going this route in the current state of Fisker? I wouldn’t consider cash or finance but maybe Lease???
There is no such thing as a Fisker lease in the US. Are you located in North America?
@@Aslash304 well according to a Fisker Advisor there is however I just got confirmation that it won’t start until later this year.
Problem is what would they be buying? They dont own anything production related, just designs.
As far as I could read in the 10k they own the FM29 Platform, which was created together with Magna. So this should be, beside the design, an asset, as with that platform many different cars could be built. But I do not know exactly...
The only reason to buy would be access to the US market for a Chinese firm
The problem is he’s so hard to believe. I’m an investor as well, and man…. I’ve never seen a company run like Fisker has been.
It’s unfortunate. Plain and simple
@@Aslash304 Yes. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Lol
I still haven't finalized the purchase. The dealer is waiting for me to answer. If it becomes true, I might. But I'll wait for now and see.
Good idea
Fisker: we need 5 billion dollars minimum to be our partner. Potential Partner: same.
Nice.
Some news goes around here in Germany
Hearsay START:
At the beginning of the year there was probably ONE offer from the Nissan corner. And there was probably ONE offer from Stellantis recently. Since Nissan wants to work with Honda and probably a third party when it comes to e-mobility, there are 3 partners from the first offer and one from the second offer. According to HF's understanding of mathematics - a total of 4 interested parties. 😉
What both offers had in common was that the new gentlemen would also bring their management with them and HF should have resigned (including his wife). That's probably why it failed in both cases. In both cases, Fisker would have been saved and safe for years. Because of his stubbornness, >400 Fisker employees have now been laid off and another 500 at Magna. It won't do any good if he sells his house now...
Both offers are probably off the table for now. We are heading towards an insolvency that could have been avoided weeks ago, including a golden handshake and securing Fisker Ocean's life's work.
Hearsay END
In my opinion, yesterday's report is a real smokescreen, intended to show that basically everything is good and HF has a choice of different partners.
He does not have !
Very well said. Thank you for sharing this!
Never underestimate the prince of Saudi
Thanks for your comment
not sufficient would mean that this buyer will be waiting for the bankrupcy to get a cheap deal.
The cars are still worth a lot if you had those on your parking lot, they are still in the books of Fisker.
Deutsche Bank is leading Henrik Fisker out of the mess or forcing him out of the company which would mean that no bank would work with him again. Therefore I guess there will be a solution but it is impossible to tell if that will happen before or after bankrupcy declaration.
I would bet AFTER cause in this case the warranty obligations are gone. But who would buy Fisker when ev market especially in the USA is in high water, the brands reputation could not sink any further and the assets are limited, most likely the cars if they have been paid fully and the patents and maybe some additional rights / licences they own and have given to Magna to be used in their behalf.
Why should I buy now if I can get it later for cheap. And of cause Henrik talking to employees about 4 potential buyers pushes the likelihood of a buyout before bankrupcy is declared cause they all know that there would be a competition afterwards to get Fisker. But that could be a bet on a poker table without the asses needed to win. Just a gamble but deutsche bank could let the one and only know that he is bidding alone which might hurt them a bit but they would get rid off Henrik this way for sure.
The only companies that could benefit a bit from the whole mess are chinese manufacturers which haven not entered the US market yet and would get access to a sales force - if that has not already quitted their jobs. Anyone else will struggle with all the fisker oceans and start with high burdens like the pile of inventory that has to be sold right now, the unhappy old customers waiting for 2.0 and hoping for 4.0 or more.
Good luck. Next week we will know more , at least here in europe the rumors are quite lwo or not existing even though Deutsche Bank headquarter is in Frankfurt germany who would be selling Fisker .
The Fisker is an American independent EV Company. I bet the big 3 automakers and the fossil fuel industry may have fired torpedoes at Fisker, Lucid, Rivian, etc. to discredit American independent companies. EV's were threatening the ICE industry too soon.
Henrik shot himself in the foot because he rushed his car to market before the car and the business plan was vetted.
Just my conjecture.
Agree. We should know more soon
I would think that it is possible that some auto manufacturers are interested in potentially purchasing Fisker. Think about this fact, many Chinese EV companies want access to the US & EU market. Fisker has that access it is something that a Chinese EV company could use. And if they can get it cheap, that could be the foot in the door that they are wanting. Same reason why Geely paid 1.8 billion for a 78.7% stake in Volvo! Granted Volvo was in way better shape than Fisker is. How to put a price on access to the US & EU markets.
Access to the US markets is the best asset Fisker has.
I highly doubt 10k just appeared in conjunction with deadlines. The noteholder still wants masked. Why even do it if BK is so near. Why do the 2.0 or open dealers. There will be a deal and Assume its multiple parts. A short term loan does nothing long term. Will noteholder file form 13 or did they sell? We need to see behind the curtain, all direct staff still there. I still think Acquisition will occur like mini cooper to bmw. Why Deutsche Bank? Tells me noteholder has tie in
Great points here
New dealership open in Charlotte Nc
Yep.
Chance of an acquisition? More like Henrik sent 4 emails to other companies and they haven't responded back yet 😂
This could be.
Is it true fire-sale Fiskers do not have parts or service warranties?
Great question. I’ll address this in an upcoming video
Well said. You don't expect honesty from a con man. Just wonder when he will get locked up.
These kind of crimes, unfortunately, do not typically lead to jail time.
I'm watching these videos for entertainment more than hope these days
I appreciate it either way
Did you buy shares or waiting for news?
My recommendation is would be heading over to draft kings at this point. Much better odds
Lots of information
Thanks for watching
What happens with the stock prize if fisker is sold, will it die or improve
If they're sold before bankruptcy, Fisker's stock price will reflect the sales price. For example, if they're selling at 420, the shares will move towards 420 a share, with the reliability of the news or rumor dictating how quickly the price moves.
We are all watching to see
Toyota should grab them, but it would be interesting to see if a company like Apple were to weight in.
It would be interesting. What’s the upside for Apple? Why not just get the same platform from Magna?
You said it very well Adam.
Thanks for this!
I expect an email anytime soon with the following message: “Congratulations, you got fisked”
A legitimate expectation
It is very sad to see people who invent companies to steal money. Shares rose to almost $30. There he took the opportunity to sell, earn a few million and retire for the rest of his life. It's good that this EV company no longer exists.
Thanks for your feedback
I don’t think ppl get it. They’re beta users of a car that’s manufactured by a shell corporation whose parent is Tata motors.
I would not be surprised if this was true
@@Aslash304 - I was thinking Tata might be the one interested as they bought another group of 'winners' with nice designs: Jaguar/Range Rover.
Whose parent company is Tata motors? My research shows no such relationship with Tata Motors on the Magna Steyr side or on the Fisker side. Site your sources...if you have any.
Having followed Henrik Fisker for many years now, the lie about being in negotiations with various other companies is one of his favorites. Extremely unlikely four automakers have signed an NDA and are considering purchasing the company and in terms of due diligence a couple minutes on Google would suffice to end any thoughts of acquisition. Why buy a company with no assets, employees that at best 1% are worth keeping around, a software with more bugs than an ant hill, a product with very little remaining demand...and some CGI of future products?
Well put. Top marks.
But what about the “Taco Tray” IP? That’s gotta be worth at least a Billion. 😂
@@davec866 LOL! Maybe Fisker can figure out a way to sell taco trays that come out of consoles or attach to glove boxes as after market accessories, and just sell that instead of cars! I better buy some stock right away!
rumors that he will open a statement today after noon.
Markets are closed. Not a peep
Any deal less then their debt is probably insufficient.
Bingo
I’d buy that for a dollar
Well said
First they took the customers for a ride by selling a half baked expensive car. Then they kept lying to investors by showing false hopes and failing every time. Now they are trying to lie to their own employees for their selfish motives. Integrity issue?
Well said
Signing an NDA does not mean the Co's in question wish to purchase Fisker. They may wish to just simply explore their tech asset value knowing that eventually Fisker will go bankrupt!
This is correct
Adam, is this company making you bald as it is making me? lol
It’s too late for the hair…and the company
@@Aslash304
Ha :)
@@Aslash304 - ha
SUUUUUURE.
Thanks for your feedback
While Henrik might be a great car designer, he and his wife have no clue how to run a company. Their mis-management of income is borderline criminal. His ego is disconnected from reality.
I agree with this
Any money Fisker makes they need to pay their creditor's and law suits anyone buying shares will lose it
Not bad advice
Delay delay delay. That’s their tactic.
no, this is not delay, quite the opposite. Henrik is pouring oil into the fire of the potential buyers if they do exist cause now they have to make tough decisions : buying now for 1$ incl. all or most of the debts and obligations or waiting till Bankrupcy and paying more but without any debts.
@@typxxilpsit’s all BS. This is going down. Why would any company want to buy a product that’s half baked. Better to start from scratch. $54 M is a joke.
Tactics and schemes and misdirection is all that’s left here
I don’t think Fisker does not have plan B before bankruptcy
Because this is will be a 2nd bankruptcy
Let’s see
Fisker the company has a plan B after bankruptcy but then without Henrik.
At the end the information given to the employees is telling the 4 involved potential buyers that there are more right now and most likely even after case B which means that one of these could think about getting it now incl. 1 billion of debt or fighting afterwards for Fisker in a bidding fight and pay more or less but without the previous debts.
I love some wait and see.
Yet...big stall before the hammer drops.
Indeed
Seems like you’re way more sour on the company to be really objective. I hate henrik and Fisker so I wouldn’t claim anything I say to be objective.
I do love your videos btw
I try to be. Maybe I’m not.
Fisker is probably not attractive because of their debt. And probably their terrible spending habits.
Totally true
Apple should buy them. They have the software experience.
Let’s see if Apple agrees over time
Great thought 🤔 apple just failed on a car project as well 😔
My experience with company acquisitions in the past is that the only thing they want is the technology like patents. They don't give a crap about current product or consumer.
Great insights
You are always trying to bring the bad scenario over the good scenario. Wait and see.
He's still stating facts. You're still in denial.
We lost brother just face it already
@@markoramovic1093 even so, in the worst-case scenario try to minimize the loss and maximize the gain ad much as we can ., this is called hope not denying.
No, he has read for us the facts incl. the quote. He showed Henriks messages to the employees or what has been reported and then talked about what this could mean. Could means he is telling his opinion and weighing the different aspects quite carefully based on the limited amount of information and i can tell you from over 40 years in the car industry after I had gotten my Matura and had been hired by 3 of the big german brands that what he is doing is quite a tough and time consuming job researching topics with a lot of roots overseas in Europe.
You have bought an austrian made car with mostly european and chinese suppliers and parts incl. a german bank = Deutsche Bank with its roots and network in the german car and supplier industry which is huge. Fisker inc was only listed in the US, but a lot has happened in the EU especially the whole production and assembly also the whole supply chain and spare part topics, mostly everything developed in the EU.
You will need to get an understanding what this means once you need a spare part being shipped from overseas incl . freight, customs, all the stuff till it arrives on your front door. Buying from china is easy, but I bet it will be much harder to get specific Fisker parts from Magna austria or one of their suppliers which are not ready to sell 1 mirror glas to the USA incl. import declaration and what not.
You will need a canadian magna warehouse operated by magna with full access to all the magna austria knowledge and supply chain to get bulk orders shipped across the atlantic at the price fixed before with Fisker to make a profit out of such warehouse deal in canada. Otherwise you will struggle big times with overseas orders and suppliers that do not wanna ship and forget about Fisker to look ahead.
@@abaza.ibrahim I hear you brother but I need this to go over 50 cents to minimize the loss and thats higly unlikely.
