Should be competitive with the eventual R2T.

I'm done with reservations.

KIA, fisker et al just want to drum up some hype and cash without actually providing any meaningful information like timelines, pricing and options.

At least KIA had some renderings of the ev9 but at $1000 for a reservation with no actual pricing they can take a long walk off a short pier.

I felt the $100 for the lightning res was reasonable and it was clearly refundable to boot.

Will they have a 'Baked' addition?

Zero specs, give us your money.

They managed to make a smaller, uglier SIlverado EV. So now we have an Avalanche, Alaska, what's next, Antarctica? Hoth? And $250 for no specs is laughable.

Haven't they delivered like three Oceans and then immediately recalled them? You'd figure after he pocketed quite a bit of money from the State of Delaware before backing out of building cars at an old GM plant he would be able to afford to not release broken shit.

It will start around $45k.

"Fisker said Thursday that the Alaska will get up to 340 miles of all-electric range along with some unique features, including a “big gulp” cupholder and water bottle, an extendable bed that goes from a 4.5 feet to 7.5 feet with the push of a button, and various cubbies and storage bins, including one for a cowboy hat.

The extendable bed has an interesting feature that might be attractive to campers. The back window of the cab and rear wall can be dropped, allowing the cabin to open up to the truck bed and lengthening the entire area (when the tailgate is down) to 9 feet, 6 inches. This feature, which Fisker calls the Houdini Trunk, would offer a sort of sleeping platform for owners or could be used to carry longer items."

I agree with you. It's a dumb system and Ford scarred alot of us with it.

Just an FYI, Fisker's reservation is refundable. It's $250.

Oh ya, I checked it out earlier before it was posted here. But absolutely no specs or even renderings of what it might be.

Fisker is trying to raise quick, interest free cash.

I'm with ya. Never again, I'll be waiting everything out now. I can only be an early adopter for one vehicle at a time as well.

Or, you could reserve the Pear SUV. That's right ... the Pear.

I don't want to even try to imagine their target market.

Starting at $30k it's not hard to imagine their target market, IMO.

They're setting themselves up for 'went pear shaped' headlines if/when the company fails.

Jesus christ, what an absolute bathtub. Hideous and visibility has gotta be atrocious.
