    Fisker Karma Deja vu?

    It's one thing for a huge Auto manufacturer to build 10s or 100s of thousands of ev's, but in today's over regulated world? Odds ain't so Good

    Low volume Fisker began to hemorrhage when their battery supplier A123 went bankrupt.

    Faraday future, speaking of low volume?

    One out of 16 cars catching on fire is not something to showboat over - especially if buyers have to pay over ¼ million (after taxes, registration, delivery)

    Then there's revenue;

    Lucid iirc has made over 15,000 units in comparison. Having only heard of one of them catching on fire that sounds like better odds regarding whether or not one's car might burst into flames .

    Still - who knew that we needed another overpriced EV running around the landscape - fire prone or not.

    How many gas cars have you seen by the side of the road burned out? Now how many EVs?

    Since ev's comprise just a little over 1% of all registered vehicles (not counting the many who drive unregistered) the odds of the one being on fire are are almost 99% it will be a gasser.
    So?
