Fisker enters into dumpster fire territory and Tesla chases FSD revenue


TechCrunch Mobility is a weekly newsletter about the future of transportation. This week, read about Fisker entering into dumpster fire territory and Tesla chasing FSD revenue.

The tl;dr: Fisker temporarily lost track of millions of dollars in customer payments as it scaled up deliveries, leading to an internal audit that started in December and took months to complete. Ionobell, a seed-stage startup that says its silicon material will be cheaper than the established competition and help boost range in EV batteries, closed an unpriced$3.9 million seed extension, TechCrunch exclusively learned. I rarely test out internal combustion engine vehicles, but I made an exception this week when I had the chance to spend a few hundred miles behind the wheel of a 2024 Land Rover Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE.
