Granted Fisker seems to be run by amateurs but high-impact social media influencers like MKBHD need to be carefully managed, pampered, and yes, probably paid.

He reviewed the current state of affairs for Fisker buyers, which is valuable to prospective buyers. What do you suggest Fisker should have paid him for? Change the narrative?

Now it is probably too late - but yes - before the review - carefully manage, pamper, and pay.

Recommend listening to the segment on the Waveform podcast about it - they say Fisker was weird from the get go, they asked for a loaner vehicle to review and Fisker kept trying to offer them money (that they didn’t want).

I disagree, I prefer when reviews are not bought and paid for. Whenever I find out a reviewer is doing paid reviews I know to disregard everything they say because objectivity is gone.
