The fall of EV startup Fisker: A comprehensive timeline


Here is a timeline of the events that led fledgling automaker Fisker to file for bankruptcy.

October 5 — The landlord of Fisker HQ’s final resting place — a facility in La Palma, California — says the building was abandoned in “complete disarray,” with hazardous waste and even full-size vehicle clay models left behind. October 7 — The U.S. Department of Justice, writing on behalf of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tells the bankruptcy court it thinks Fisker’s attempt to push recall labor costs on owners is illegal. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
