Henrik Fisker stands with the Fisker Ocean electric vehicle after it was unveiled at the Manhattan Beach Pier ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show and AutoMobilityLA on November 16, 2021 in Manhattan Beach, California. Electric vehicle startup Fisker is facing new liquidity questions after a short seller report Thursday claimed the company's funds are "tied up." According to the report, much of Fisker's cash balance is tied up via bank guarantees on behalf of Magna International , the auto parts giant that began building Fisker's Ocean SUV under contract last month. "Fisker Inc. does not have a bank guarantee with Magna, and Fisker owns the intellectual property for the Fisker Ocean platform," Fisker said in a statement after the U.S. markets closed on Thursday. With a potential downturn looming, Fisker's cash hoard has provided some comfort to its investors.
☆ Fisker's cash tied up in bank guarantees, short-seller report says

Dec 1 (Reuters) - Short-seller Fuzzy Panda Research said on Thursday that Fisker Inc's (FSR.N) access to its funds is limited by bank guarantees that set a mininum cash balance, sending the electric-vehicle maker's shares down 5%. In a report disclosing an unspecified short position, Fuzzy Panda Research said nearly all of the $825 million Fisker has in cash "is tied up" in guarantees to its manufacturing partner Magna Steyr, the Austrian unit of Magna International Inc (MG.TO). The guarantees include Fisker paying for Magna's tooling costs as well as manufacturing margins and direct manufacturing costs, the short seller said, citing interviews with former employees. The EV maker is the latest target of Fuzzy Panda Research, which has previously issued reports on EVgo Inc (EVGO.O), Workhorse Group Inc (WKHS.O) and now bankrupt Electric Last Mile Solutions. The short-seller also said that Fisker has been selling shares to raise cash and pay expenses instead of funding operating losses using its cash balance.

Lucid Lucid epitomizes an aspirational EV, McNally said.
