Remember Fisker, which eventually became Karma? Well, the company is still kickin’, and a document made its way to a forum run by our parent company that suggests the company has several vehicles planned for over the next few years. Including, possibly, a pickup truck.
VIN decoding shows that five product lines are planned: Revero GT, 1 Series, 6 Series, 8 Series, and High Performance.
Potential engines include a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 1.5-liter three-cylinder, a new engine that’s listed as TBD, and a battery-electric powertrain. Drivetrain layouts of front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive are all possible, depending on application.
Several body types are listed: Sedan, coupe, convertible, multi-purpose vehicle (two different MPVs), wagon, and truck. The two different MPVs could be a crossover and an SUV.
Model years covered are from 2021 to 2027, so it’s unlikely all these models would launch in model-year 2021. Especially given Karma’s relatively small size.

It should be a battery powered car with a plutonium 238 RTG so it recharges itself after a few weeks of being parked.
Your idea isn’t any more vaporous than their claims.
I’d be careful with the “vapor” claim. After all, vapor doesn’t necessarily burn, but the real-life cars this company actually built, sold and put on the road did.
(Sarcasm aside, point taken, though…)
Fusion powered.
With all of the powertrains this thing has had, I’m surprised the Flux Capacitor hasn’t been offered yet.
Run – don’t walk – away from this brand.
Yes, you should distance yourself immediately from things that burn.
And with that, I’ve now milked the “burning Fisker” line twice in one thread.
*Hypothetical* future.
More staying power than Elio, confirming the go big or go home approach works best in speculative ventures.
Their fires were caused by overheated engine exhaust plumbing, not the lithium batteries themselves. This doesn’t inspire confidence in their engineering.
