    Did Fisker Push The Karma Out Too Soon?

    Even after its release, Fisker has been having their share of problems with the new Karma; battery defects, software problems, and Consumer Reports having their Karma die during their testing.

    A former Fisker employee isn't surprised. The employee told GigaOM that Fisker pushed the Karma before it was production ready to try and meet its milestones from the Department of Energy for its $529 million loan.

    Unfortunately, the report and the source didn't go into details.

    When asked for comment, a Fisker spokesperson said,

    “Quality and customer satisfaction are the top priority for Fisker Automotive. With any new technology there will be unanticipated bugs and we have demonstrated the ability to quickly resolve them on a case-by-case basis. In addition, Fisker’s 24 hour VIP call centers and comprehensive vehicle warranty are also designed to give our customers complete peace of mind.”

      People thinking they can buy a car for under $20,000 new will be sad to learn there are no more cars that cheap unless they are used. The $20,000 new car is officially dead

      Yes, the incompetent leadership is hurting this country more than helping and talk about wasting billions on repainting plans into his stupid colors as if it would last and he clearly did not listen to the science that shows his colors cause overheating and issues with the electronics on the plane.

      Interesting, I am far more satisfied with my Kia over anything I have seen, experienced with Tesla. I think BMW is nailing it right now especially compared to Mercedes. Interesting is that Tesla is considered Luxury and yet my EV9 is more expensive than Tesla garbage. I totally agree with the JD Powers EV Ownership Experience. Tesla Still Rules EV Satisfaction, Though One Rival Just Caught Up | Carscoops

      True they could have done better, but then if that is all they are loaned by the companies, who can you blame but the company who loaned a single stage to go up against a dual stage. Kinda like folks that compare dual pane to triple pane windows and complain about the cost without looking at the full picture. This comparison had some valid data but agree with you that it could have been a fairer comparison of like units. Makes one wonder if he clearly stated he wanted all dual stage units or just asked for a snow blower to compare.
