Imagine how much parts will cost if Fisker goes out of business. You almost have to buy an extra two of them to be parts donors.

- mrighele 3y agoOn the bright side, the part donors will not be expensive to buy.
- rob74 3y agoWell, now you can (in theory) buy more than three of them for the (former) price of one, so the only problem is where to store the two part donors... Of course, the $21K is what you would be getting when you sell it, not what you would be paying if you want to buy a used one.

- londons_explore 3y agoI think the key issue is that when the OEM doesn't exist, software issues can likely never be fixed, and might make the car undrivable. For example, imagine the root filesystem of the infotainment system gets full with logs. Now it won't boot. But that system uses secure boot/disk encryption so you can't go in and fix it. And btw, the infotainment not working means the car can't be shifted into drive. No mechanic can fix that. The security features mean the parts can't be swapped from one car to another, and besides, even if you could do swaps, any swapped unit will get the same fault as the first. That is why the car valuation has dropped so much. The high chance that within a few years it becomes undrivable and unfixable.
