It expects to complete final testing of 55 complete Fisker Ocean prototypes and go straight to production on November 17, 2022.

Henrik Fisker may sound familiar to sports car lovers, as he is the owner of the James Bond BMW Z8 Roadster, the best-selling Aston Martin V8, the Ford (NYSE: F) Shelby The infamous designer behind critically acclaimed models like the GR-1, the Artega GT and the Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model S. Ironically, the man known as the Tesla Killer was a Tesla designer who was the designer behind the team that designed the now-iconic Tesla Model S. Fisker crashed and burned in a flashy electric car called the Karma in his initial attempt, attracting many friends thanks to its celebrity client list including Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber, Colin Powell and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. Unfortunately, the company missed the milestone, resulting in a $528.7 million conditional loan freeze from the U.S. Department of Energy. Then Hurricane Sandy destroyed its original Karma order, and flooding shut down production, eventually forcing the company into bankruptcy in 2012. In 2016, Fisker Inc. resurrected and eventually reverse-merged with SPACE, a company called Spartan Energy, winning a second chance in the $1 billion war to enter the electric vehicle market.
Focus on asset-light and design models
The Fisker brand is associated with brilliant, cutting-edge, futuristic, award-winning designs. This time, Mr. Fisker tried to leverage his reputation for design by handing over manufacturing to seasoned Magna International (NYSE: MGA). By outsourcing production, Fisker has an asset-light and agile operating model that can focus on cutting-edge design and an enhanced end-user experience. Unlike rivals Tesla, Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID), and Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN), Fisker doesn’t have to build a factory to make cars. They simply outsource, like how Applied Materials (NYSE:AMD) outsources their semiconductor production to TSMC (NYSE:TSM), not like Intel (NASDAQ:NASDAQ: INTC) in its own factory.
D-Day is November 17, 2022
gentlemen. Fisker commented on its Q2 2022 conference call: “We look forward to embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime journey with our 5,000 Fisker Ocean One stakeholders as we approach production on November 17, 2022. These 5,000 With all vehicles pre-delivered, the order for Fisker Ocean One will generate potential revenue of approximately $350 million for Fisker.” He continued: “I am impressed by the seamless collaboration between Fisker and all of our partners and suppliers. Proud to make sure we start production on November 17, 2022,” Henrik continued. “After driving the test car on high-speed circuits in Italy and on the roads of Los Angeles, I am excited about all the features we will offer in the Fisker Ocean and the drivability of the Fisker Ocean.”
Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act
On August 17, 2022, President Biden signed the Reducing Inflation Act, which basically Allocate $370 billion for decarbonization efforts. It renews the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit from January 2023 through the end of 2032. While that might sound good to EV makers, it won’t benefit everyone. The tax credit applies only to electric vehicles made in the U.S. and battery materials must come from the U.S. or a country with which the U.S. has a free trade agreement. Unfortunately, Fisker Ocean was outsourced to Magna International, which assembles the cars at its Austrian factory. The company has taken advantage of this to help facilitate presales, as the $7,500 credit would still apply if a US customer’s $5,000 deposit was converted to a binding sales agreement before the law took effect.
