Want To Know What’s Wrong With Fisker? Here Are Two Reports

Fisker is at its last gasp. After burning through $1.4 billion, "the company is out of cash," writes Reuters, "for months, key investors have been footing the car maker's day-to-day expenses to keep it alive in diminished form." Reuters has an in-depth report on what went wrong at Fisker. Reuters also has the one sentence version:   "Executives simply couldn't orchestrate the complex dance that leads from a design sketch to the production and sale of a profitable car."   Read the Reuters in-depth report by their Detroit reporters Deepa Seetharaman and Paul Lienert.   And if you want to know how Fisker even bungled a rescue by China's Geely, a deal cut by Joel Ewanick, working as a consultant, then Reuters has another report for you. Read how Ewanick already had convinced Geely Chairman Li Shufu to put $250,000 into Fisker, which would also have provided Geely with U.S. production for Volvo and Geely as part of the bargain. Read how wires were crossed with another team scouring China for money. Should you ever think of putting money into a startup carmaker, read these reports first.   from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
