Better that than the cars going to the junkyard.

True, but a death rattle nonetheless.

Unless Fiskers miraculously finds a buyer, they're almost certainly toast. And so far, no one wants to touch them. I suspect anyone acquiring Fiskers would take on tremendous liability, and they probably know it.

Still having issues with losses more than the cost of the car. Are they trying to push their re-tooling costs on the low number of cars sold so far?

A hybrid design is going to be much more popular than pure electric. Hopefully RAM get's it act together with the RAM charger.
