Consumer Reports lost any credibility it had long ago. Now it is nothing but a shill for all things "green".
CU, it's parent company is a big Obamacare cheerleader.

Give me a break! This is the PERFECT green car. You buy it for $100+K to show everyone how much you love Gaia and then you park it out front because it won’t run. Zero pollution, zero energy use, and lots of kudos from your red-diaper doper friends.
Then you sneak out the back way to your house in your Suburban...

Typical Obama, a great step backwards.

I saw a Fisker on the road a couple of months ago...the only US dealer is in our town...great looking car...I didn’t know what it was...did the research and almost puked at its story...glad to see it’s nothing but a POS.

Half a billion dollars is a small price to pay to subsidize a rich liberals $100,000 car! /s
What, most people cannot afford a $100,000 car? And those that can don't really need the government to subsidize it? Who knew?
And here I thought a $100,00 a car eco friendly vehicle was our long-term mass produced SOLUTION to the dangers of global warming! NOT!

Even immobilized, I'd take it. Nothing wrong that a little LS7 therapy couldn't cure.

Is there a complete running list anywhere of all the failed or failing Obama-promoted taxpayer-funded “green” companies and projects? Plus an accounting of how much money has been flushed down the poop chute for this and how much in campaign cash has been laundered back to the regime?
Like: the Volt, SpectraWatt, Solyndra, Beacon Power, Fisker, Ener1, etc. etc. etc.
Just remember that oil is “the fuel of the past” according to Obama.

Maybe they can get Boy George to do the commercials.

At least Fisker is taking the car back to fix it.
After a half dozen Tesla Roadster owners bricked their cars by mismanaging the battery charge state, Tesla told them that they would not cover the cost of the battery replacement, so they are on the hook for $45,000.
These cars are all vaporware, anyway. They exist to bilk credulous investors out of their money and milk the government of subsidies. Producing actual cars for actual customers is the last thing they want to do.
