New isn't easy: Henrik Fisker at TEDxChapmanU
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2012
- In his TEDxChapmanU talk, Henrik asks "What if?" and challenges the audience to take risks to keep their passions alive. He encourages everyone to work toward proving the "doubters" wrong and to believe in extraordinary ideas. He describes the setbacks he faced in designing a vehicle that was different than the rest, and walks us through his thought process and vision along the way.
Henrik Fisker, a world-renowned designer in the field of luxury cars, is the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Fisker Automotive. After a fulfilling career, which included both design and executive positions at BMW, Ford, and Aston Martin, Henrik decided to partner with Bernhard Koehler and forge a new and radical perspective on what is possible in the automotive world. In 2007, they founded Fisker Automotive, a pure automobile manufacturer which introduced the world's first ever premium hybrid electric vehicle, the Fisker Karma. Henrik began his career in Germany at BMW's advanced design studio, BMW Technik GmbH, upon graduating from The Art Center College of Design in Switzerland. A few of his automotive design legacies include the Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Shelby GR1, BMW Z07 and Z8 roadster.
About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I'm delighted that I invested in this man and his vision takes balls to follow your dream even if everyone including your close friends and family don't believe in what your doing..least when your on your death bed u know u did your absolute best. H.Fisker ya legend 🙌
So called my motivation, sir.
Loved the story of how he came to be a car designer. I only have one question: what's an idear? 0:34 lol
The comments of people saying things cant be done... and now looking at it in 2018 xD its alright you non believers i hope you understand peoples visions now
I was merely saying that a 0.4 ton electric car is not possible. Say whatever you want but that shows how intelligent you are.
this guy seems nice, one day he may be one of the richest man on the planet.
Same path to being one of the richest, as to one of the biggest failures, because you never know how things will play out. He gives all these stories of success, but there were stories of failure which started entirely the same. Survivorship bias. Or maybe he'll just do alright, have a nice run for a while, quit with a nice cushion, enjoy peaceful life.
that you have never thought about it before doesn't mean it isn't possible
as your first step, look up the GM Ultralite. then come back and tell me you have new understanding of how light cars can be and that you now understand how wrong 2.4ton is.
I can then tell you about how it can go even further down and how your intuition that batteries are so heavy that it is impossible is wrong.
Is my dream even become a car designer...
if you could soften your heart and listen to reason I could show you that indeed it is very possible despite what you think you understand about the ariel atom
Yes and you are clearly showing your intelligence by calling people morons on UA-cam. Great job your parents will be proud.
It's not possible, even the Ariel Atom weighs 600kilos which is just 4 wheels and an engine.
but that's 100% wrong. a light car needs proportionally less energy to move the same distance. same as an electric bicycles doesn't grind to a halt right away just because it doesn't have a 400kg battery pack. that's stupid.
light and aerodynamics are the key to EV viability. it makes it so much easier to make it quick. ferrari killing quick. and the battery pack costs so much less.
think a little. a properly designed car can be made to have over 1000km range on a single charge at under 1 ton
HahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Dude,
The GM Ultralite doesn't weight 0.4 tons... if weights 1.42... 1.4 ! you sir, have miserably failed.
It isn't meant to compete with a Ferrari. What you're describing there is a RACING focused electric car, which the Fisker is not. It's like blaming Rolls Royce for not making lightweight cars and not competing with Ferrari, it's stupid. Think a little.
The batteries weigh too much, if you want a 0.4ton electric car then you wouldn't even be able to drive for a mile without recharging. Luxury cars should be heavy so they feel more planted to the ground, more solid. With all that much torque electric engines have 2.4tons is nothing.
The future has proved you wrong
Wow. That is a ton of gross mistakes you just made.
The GM Ultralite weighed 635kg, I never said it weighed 0.4ton!
And you confused 1400 pounds with 1.4 ton..
You want to try that again? Maybe some apologies..
what if it didn't weigh 2.4ton..
what if it weighed 0.4ton
it was a big mistake to design it from opulent decadence and engineering reason was a distant second.
electric drive only truly shines when you appreciate the engineering like low weight and aerodynamics. otherwise the physics will punish you. you will make a beast of burden and you wont even know it.
when it ended up at 2.4ton in the name of outrageous design it was doomed. Fisker auto wont survive and will have burned over 1bn$
Tesla's Elan Musk actually stole Fisker's vision, and made it more feasible.
+Hammond EZ
Nice try troll.
Fisker backstabbed Musk & the entire Tesla team; he gave them shit designs on purpose and only once he knew what Tesla was doing, did he backstabbed them all.
+Hammond EZ
Musk already had the vision for a great looking and non-goofy electric car before Fisker came into the picture.
It's called the Tesla Roadster. In case you heard of this thing called "doing your homework".
Valdric Lim tesla roadster is Lotus Elise with different lights. He loves stealing ideas and there is the proof, dumbass.
They originally wanted to design a Roadster from scratch. But didn't know that doing so was easier than basing it on an existing design.
Steal ideas? Then prove it dumbass.
@@vasred4265you know the roadster is the one car tesla doesn’t have yet right? The S,3,X,Y are the models you’ll be more familiar with…guess who didn’t design those and who did?
he's a decent designer and brave and right to have chosen electric drive but brilliant is perhaps overstating it and they are not here to stay. if you actually look at the facts you will see the chance of survival is virtually zero.
they have burned through a billion dollars and are selling very few cars, no where near enough to pay their expenses let alone with surplus to pay new development. they are super dead and Henrik knew this at the time of this talk
he went heavy and decadent. mistake
hi
@@Michael_Chater hi
@@DanFrederiksen this isn't aging well
@@wizofsorts You do understand that the company failed as I predicted? what's called Fisker today is a new company with new money that started in 2016 iirc. And will likely fail as well although it is in many ways a much better effort. It's pure electric for one but even with a good product it's probably very difficult to succeed in car marking alongside successful Tesla and all the old brands going electric fast.
@@DanFrederiksen you do know why it failed the first time right? Don't act like you predicted what happened. This is way different.
