“The company is Fisker’s second automotive startup. His previous startup, Fisker Automotive, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2013. Fisker launched his second automotive company in 2016.”
Actual picture of investors of the second company: 🤡
Marques is actually very balanced even in his critical reviews.
Even with the Humane AI pin, he did commend them on their physical build quality, even if the rest of the device was practically useless, he never outright said that, just points out the flaws.
Although I do wonder sometimes how much he tries to hard to be balanced, as some products, especially cars due to the price, don’t deserve kind treatment for noticeable faults.
It wasn’t really. It certainly didn’t make me want to go spend $70k for one, but I wouldn’t have entirely dismissed the brand as a whole for one of their first forays into both auto engineering and EV production. If I got one for free, I’d drive it. By the time I need a new car, it would have been worth looking into again.
In this case yes but as an example Linus Tech Tips has put companies in trouble by botching their reviews: using the wrong GPU with a prototype cooler (despite being provided the GPU…) and not removing the protective film on a gaming mouse.
And all it took was scapegoating a reviewer kid. (Don’t look at the stock prices before that, please)

That typo is hilarious
I don’t get it
Marques Brownlee is actually, rather brown.

And I didn’t really think his review was all that scathing.

The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D
I guess. But as long as it’s actually true and he actually believes that, I see no real issue with it.
It wasn’t. Fisker’s shitty response is what made it an even bigger deal.
I agree, but to be fair the title was a little clickbaity and was seen by a whole lot of people who didn’t watch the video and just scrolled past it.

Yeah… if the car wasn’t shit, the review would have been more positive. It’s not the reviewer’s fault the car sucks lol

30 year olds are kids now? This is big
Well tbf a lot of people have been following him since he actually was a kid. He started the channel when he was in high school.
Ask the Fisker technician who called the guy who rented out the EV to Browlee.
