- Gore-backed (and US govt-backed) Fisker Automotive delivers $100,000 plug-in hybrid lemon to Consumer Reports; inexplicably broke down after 180 miles of testing

Fisker received a $528.7 million conditional loan from Dept. of Energy's...That's a LOT of money to produce only 200-300 thus far, some of which seem to be lemons.
