Luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, casting doubt on its status as an automaker and its ability to support customers who have purchased its vehicles.
The company’s financial struggles have been ongoing, leading to concerns about its ability to provide customer service. Owners of the Fisker Ocean, the company’s first EV, are struggling to contact the company for assistance with issues such as cars being rendered inoperable, or “bricked.”

One distressed owner expressed frustration, stating, “It’s my aunt’s car and she’s distressed beyond measure. What the hell is she supposed to do? She waited on call for more than an hour and there’s nobody who seems to help! Who’s gonna do something about the bricked car? It won’t even turn on, the doors won’t open.”

Despite the bankruptcy filing, Fisker is exploring options to sell its assets and continue operations. However, the outcome remains uncertain, leaving owners in a state of limbo regarding servicing and deliveries.
