Fisker Has A New Tesla-Fighting Car

It appears the car company Fisker actually has a future again. After years of seemingly like they were done, Henrik Fisker posted an image to his twitter previewing his new electric sedan.

Not much information has been released, so most information people have is what they can see in the picture, or the few tidbits that have been released to the press. The car has two sets of butterfly doors. We'll see if those actually make it into production, but as of now, they're pretty cool.

Henrik Fisker did send a letter to a few select members of the media that detailed a few more things about the car, according to Business Insider. The sedan will be mostly built out of carbon fiber and aluminum and will offer a roomier interior than its closest competitor, the Tesla Model S.

Clearly, they are gunning for the Model S, especially since Tesla really doesn't have any major competition.

Fisker even told Business Insider last week, "I think it's pretty clear when you look at the market, when you look at the premium market, there's really only one company that it out there, and it's Tesla."

Sure, most major companies offer an electric car or a high-gas mileage hybrid, but none of those cars are exciting. No one says, "Damn, is that the new Focus Electric?" or "No way! Is that the Chevy Bolt?"

According to Business Insider, the new Fisker will use cutting-edge graphene super-capacitors inn lieu of the lithium-ion batteries used by most modern electric cars. The estimate is that the sedan will have a range of 400 miles or more.

Pricing hasn't been released, but a safe estimate is that this car will be around the price of a high-end Model S, if not more. A price of around $100,000 is a safe guess. However, Henrik Fisker does have plans to eventually release a mass market electric car with a starting price below that of the Model 3 and even the Chevy Bolt.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
