Henrik Fisker Teases Some Sort of Transportation Pod

We've known for a while that legendary car designer Henrik Fisker is working on a new electric car called the EMotion. He's been talking about it for a while, promising incredibly fast charging, a long range, and an oddly designed front end. He's also promised to reveal the car at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, including a demonstration of his newly developed batteries. But after his tweet this morning, there's a new, completely different Fisker-designed thing to speculate about.

The image has been cropped, so it's hard to tell what we're even looking at, but it seems to be some sort of car. Unlike the alien-faced EMotion, though, it appears to be one of those shapeless transportation jelly beans that promise to be a "mobility solution" for crowded cities. It could also be some sort of train, since the cut-off text looks like it says, "Departure In:" and "Next Stop Terminal B."

And aside from the tweet itself that promises an "exciting Fisker product in a whole new segment," and a change to "mobility" forever, Fisker hasn't said much of anything since. Based on previous tweets, we might have to wait for him to finish the EMotion's interior, but hopefully, he'll release more information soon.

One thing we do know, however, is that Fisker recently announced that it's patented solid-state battery technology that offers two and a half times the energy density at a third of the cost of a conventional lithium-ion battery. The announcement claims that when the technology is ready in 2023, it will be able to offer a battery that can go "

As with all supposedly revolutionary technology, we'll believe it when we see it. But if Fisker really has figured out how to make this all work, then it could give Fisker, Inc. a huge advantage over automakers that still use conventional batteries.
