The best thing to do with those Fiskers would be to break them for parts to keep other Fiskers on the road. Fiskers aren't known as being particularly reliable, and the parts backup and supply makes Citroen look like a really good, caring, and thoughtful parts supplier - yep, Fiskers really are that bad ! #-o

Well not according to the user write ups Bobins, seems to have failed for the lack of finance for a startup company.
If I was a bit younger I'd be bidding.

They're lovely when they work, but a bit of a disaster when they don't.
I dare say some of the write ups are from people who don't want to admit that the car they bought is a bit of a long term liability - which is a standard enough human trait. Don't forget, Fisker have built cars before and then gone bust. Once bitten etc, etc.

We had a big Fiskars showroom here in Paggers... It did not last long...

It's still extant and looks like it could reopen any time, except there's no stock in the showroom. There's a big workshop area behind - it used to be a big Land Rover dealership - so maybe that's still full of the bankrupt stock...
