It's probably a good time to create a list for owners & technician/mechanic shops (dealers that are going to stay in the game even if Fisker gets dismantled) of what we need to maintain the cars.
Plan A is for FA to be acquired by a strategic investor that sees that they can accomplish the vision for the Karma, Atlantic, etc.
Plan B is for us to create an ecosystem that can maintain our Karmas.
We can't do anything on Plan A, except to hope. But on Plan B, we can begin to brainstorm and support our dealers.
Harleyguy, I wonder if we can get your dealership, and an couple others to get together on a stock up strategy.
This would provide FA with added cash by pulling through any inventory, and second, I'd feel more secure knowing the inventory is owned by the dealer/garage and not subject to auction. Third, it is a good investment for the dealerships that have a community of owners in the area.
I read a little about the scrap yards for hurricane sandy (below), and wondering if there is anyone who knows where the damaged Karmas went. Seems like there may be many parts for salvage.

Scrap Yards Are Among Hurricane Sandy’s Beneficiaries

One of the nation's busiest scrap-metal yards—a sprawling 83-acre site in Jersey City populated by cranes and a massive shredder that can crush a car in 10 seconds—sat right in the middle of superstorm Sandy's path.

I wonder if there are any experts in the forum that are connected with garages that maintain rare cars, and therefore might have some advice on what we should be trying to secure now to make maintaining in the future a lot easier.
I also wonder if there are any dealers that might want to hire a few former employees as consultants to build out a parts list and support plan for their customers (or if any of the 50 employees kept at Fisker have any focus on creating a transition plan for their ~2000 customers).
I am a bit stream of consciousness here with this post, and wondering, anyone in the forum have expertise on how to get us organized and prepared just in case we end up with plan B instead of the preferred plan A?
