Fisker's woes serve as a reminder to carmakers: the doors should open
Fisker, the embattled California-based EV startup flirting with bankruptcy, is facing yet another speed bump: the US auto safety regulator is looking into reports that its doors won’t open. It’s the regulator’s third investigation into the automaker’s 2023 Ocean SUV this year.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it’s received 14 complaints that the doors on Fisker’s SUVs sometimes don’t open from the inside or outside, leaving customers stuck.
As you know, opening the door is the first step to nearly everything you can do with a car. Naturally, this is likely an issue Fisker will want to address.
That said, their to-do list is rather long! Also a priority: Fisker was delisted from the NYSE last month. The company is hardly the only EV maker with manufacturing problems: some Tesla Cybertruck owners are already complaining that their $57K+ stainless steel vehicles have begun to rust.
