Southern California-based electric-vehicle maker Fisker Inc. plans to start production of its PEAR crossover mid-next year at Foxconn’s auto assembly plant in Lordstown.
The PEAR (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution), “which is planned to be built” in the U.S. in “collaboration with Foxconn at a factory in Ohio” was publicly debuted Aug. 3 at the company’s first-ever Product Vision Day, a release from the company states.
“Manufacturing and deliveries are expected to commence in July 2025,” the release states. Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker announced in May 2022 plans to have the PEAR made in Lordstown.
He did so shortly after Foxconn acquired the facility, the former General Motors small-car plant, from Lordstown Motors Corp.
Foxconn and Fisker, however, do not have a formal manufacturing contract agreement in place. [emphasis added]
Cascade County Clerk and Recorder Sandra Merchant sat in the third row from the back of a filled lecture hall at Great Falls College on Tuesday night to hear a presentation from election conspiracist Douglas Frank.
Frank is known nationally as an elections skeptic who has toured the nation giving hundreds of presentations to push false and unfounded conspiracy theories surrounding election machines and urge audiences to “wake up” and investigate “fraud” in their communities.
“In the end you don't win with evidence,” Frank told the crowd. “You win with a movement.”
Frank’s theories, rooted in the baseless denial of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory, have been debunked as meaningless, yet he still draws crowds. An estimated 90 people attended in Great Falls.
