Looking through some work archives in preparation for some historical work on Henrik #Fisker and #FiskerAutomotive and came across this photo of him at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.
'Since Fisker’s bankruptcy, people with even minor problems with their Fisker EVs have found themselves owning expensive, inert lumps of conflict minerals and auto-loan debt; as one Fisker owner described it, “It’s literally a lawn ornament right now”.'
Stories like this give me renewed respect for hand tools like screwdrivers, hammers and wrenches. They just work - today, tomorrow and even for the next generation.
And there's no issues with loss of functionality, wind-down funding or privacy concerns.
