Fisker is HQ'd in America and the R&D staff is all in America. The choice of Valmet in Finland for manufacturing was because, according to Fisker, there were no contract automobile manufacturers in America that could handle the job. The Fisker Atlantic was due to be manufactured in Delaware until the frozen DOE loan scuttled that plan.

I personally feel conflicted over covering Tesla and Fisker sometimes because both are targeting the 1% even though there might be cases where non-1%'ers are Tesla owners. At least in the case of Tesla they have a clear understandable plan/strategy/goal of moving downmarket and broadening their target market to include the 10%'ers.
