Not only has the car depreciated 80% in a year, the company went bankrupt and of course, the car got a OTA update and bricked lol. Can't get it out of "Neutral." Has to wait to get the car fixed by a mobile squad that either Fisker or whatever company that provided him aftermarket warranty (through Fisker, I think, it's really convoluted but necessary since nobody knew if the company would make it or not). He's 100 on the list of cars that this happened to, meaning there's 99 other cars that these guys have to fix prior to his. Which i'm actually really surprised that there are only 100 cars in the country that this happened to. So that's the good news? Good luck.
Fisker’s first car was a trainwreck of poor performance and poor efficiency, all wrapped up in a giant chassis no one understood. This is a bad idea because Fisker and nothing else.

Most people in the automotive world saw Fisker as a complete train wreck. Bummer your buddy bought one.

'Unintentional acceleration by the Tesla may have contributed to this tragedy' with a pedestrian hospitalised from the exploding debris.
The remains of the occupants should be shown to the public to make them think twice before going for an EV.

I heard that every living thing within a mile of the blast radius was instantly vaporized. The media just aren’t telling us the truth.
