Fisker Inc. is continuing a trying month of March as it claws at the hole it has found itself in, staring down the barrel of potential bankruptcy.

Fisker has shared preliminary details of its Q4 and full fiscal year 2023 results, and they’re… not great.

American EV automaker Fisker Inc. recently shared a business update, outlining several changes in the works, including leadership moves, accelerated deliveries, and potential partnerships with other OEMS.

As Fisker looks to hit its production stride (and annual output target) going into Q4, it’s also preparing for its 2024 model year. Beginning today, Fisker has lowered the price of its top-tier Ocean Extreme trim by $7,500 – but if you’re looking to get any other version of Ocean, best to buy now, as MSRPs are set to see some price increases when the 2024 models go on sale next month.
Fisker Inc. has shared intentions to increase US deliveries of its flagship Ocean SUV while simultaneously ramping up overseas production to 300 units per day. While the scaling is encouraging news, can the American automaker still hit its 2023 production guidance after lowering its target once already?

Reservation holders who have been waiting patiently for Fisker Ocean deliveries to begin here in the states may see the new SUV in their driveways as early as this month… as long as they sprang for one of the top tier trims.
