Fisker is looking for collaboration with other low-volume EV manufacturers. And, the price of their next model–the oddly-named Pear–seems to be very reasonable.

Additionally, with a statement critical of Tesla technology, their CEO has given us some insight into the major reason for some Teslas being totaled after a crash. Hint: It isn’t because it is an EV:

_Fisker’s next model line, the U.S.-built PEAR, will start at $29,990 and will be shown for the first time on Aug. 3 in Los Angeles, Fisker said. Fisker plans to have the model assembled by contract manufacturer Foxconn at a factory in Ohio._

_The PEAR will have 25% fewer parts than a comparable car today, Fisker said. But the company is not following Tesla’s use of large cast parts to cut production costs:_

_“We didn’t want three giant mega-castings,” and put customers at risk of having to scrap cars after an accident. Instead, Fisker will build vehicles from steel, combining multiple parts into one using single stampings, he said._

In the past, it has not ended well for low volume vehicle makers. Of course that’s history and it’s a new age.

What you stated is true, but if Mr. Fisker can carry-out a collaboration with other low-volume EV makers, he just might have a good strategy. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have thought that the moribund Fisker company would have been able to bounce back, but it seems like they might be able to do so.
