What do you get when you submerge 14 Fiskers in Sea Water while they are sitting at Customs?

This is the same company that defrauded our government for Stimulus funds. Serves them right..... Yes, Karma would be the correct term.

Well, I guess when I can afford a $100,000 car, I'll worry.

You got that right.

I added up the purchase price of ALL THE CARS I HAVE EVER OWNED and still lack a bit of coming up to $100K... :lol:

You completely missed the point. This is about Karma. Not a warning not to buy. They ripped us off and now karma is getting a piece of that ass.....

No, you didn't do your research. This is another bullshit right wing meme circulated amongst the right wing blogosphere. The stimulus money went toward developing the vehicle here in the States. The eventual goal is build the cars in the US.
“Half a billion to an electric car company that created hundreds of jobs in Finland.” Actually, the first round of government loans to Fisker Automotive went toward design, engineering, sales and marketing work done in the U.S. It’s true that the cars it has built so far were made in Finland, but a second round of funding has gone for development of a second, less-costly line of cars that the company plans to build in a shuttered GM facility in Delaware. http://factcheck.org/2012/05/stimulus-money-for-jobs-overseas/ Do you always believe everything your AM radio tells you?

It turned out to be an international effort. Build them overseas, burn them here. Win-Win.

I do know what happens when you submerge rechargeable batteries in salt water. I had a dive light that leaked when I went deep. It blew up in my hand like a depth charge going off as I went to the surface. Luckily I did not get hurt, but I did feel like I just had somebody box my ears.
