Fisker May Not Produce The Atlantic In Delaware

The Fisker Atlantic, which debuted this week at the New York Auto Show, could built somewhere else besides their facility in Wilmington, Delaware.

"The whole plan has changed," said Fisker CEO Tom LaSorda to Automotive News. "Wilmington is our primary site…but there are other options. We have to look at what's best for the company and the shareholders."

LaSorda went onto say that a decision on where the Atlantic will be built will be made by the end of summer. This would cause another delay on the vehicle, which was set to begin production sometime within the second half of 2012.

Asked if Wilmington was chosen, how fast could Fisker get the facility up and running, LaSorda said "really quickly."

    I suspect that people are not lining up to buy this over priced electric toy. In todays economy, more people are going for function over form and a limited use vehicle like this has lost it's shine. Not to mention, people are a bit shy about trusting an unproven company like Fisker.

    This whole we can build it any place is a dela tactic due to a lack of customers.

    It will be manufactured in cyberspace by midget gamers covered head to toe in tattoos wearing spike heels, fishnet stockings, and sporting bright blue mohawks.
