In December 2023, Fisker realized that he had delivered several cars without collecting payments. Some transactions may have been saved, but some oversights may be lost forever.
While waiting for a savior, the automobile manufacturer Fisker is experiencing very complicated months. Latest episode to date: according to Techcrunch, Fisker realized in December that he had not collected several million dollars, sometimes even by delivering cars to customers who had not paid. Enough to cause panic internally, the time to trace the missing payments.

According to Techcrunch, Fisker had to recover the banking data of its customers, in order to be able to cash them retrospectively. In some cases, this data had expired, forcing Fisker to call back former customers to ask for their new payment information. Fisker’s sales teams reportedly spent a lot of time on this issue, instead of focusing on new purchases, and therefore the survival of the company.
“The checks were not cashed on time” a Fisker employee tells Techcrunch. This explains why Fisker is delaying publishing its financial results for the year 2023.
Once suspected of being the new Tesla, Fisker has transformed into an example of mismanagement. Its models are still attractive, but the company does not have the financial resources to assume its ambitions. Fisker hoped to be taken over by Nissan, but the transaction did not go through. As it stands, and despite the delivery of the first cars, Fisker’s near future seems very compromised.
