"Fisker went bankrupt and owners built open source car company from the ashes"

They hosted free global key fob pairing events, saving each owner $100 to $250.

In Europe, they created what they call the “Flying Doctors” program — a mobile repair network where technically skilled members travel to help other owners keep their vehicles running.
