Just took delivery of a Fisker Karma EcoSport in Huntsville AL. Still recovering from the experience. Drove it to our condo in Atlanta yesterday. Amazed at the number of people taking pictures on interstate.

Marty,

If my EcoSport ever shows up we should get together in the ATL. We can form the Atlanta chapter of the Fisker Owner's Club Smile

Saw the Two and a Half Men episode. Looked the car up, pick the color and sent the link to my business partner. He told me to hop on a plane and come pick it up. His good friend owns the dealership in Huntsville and just got the car with the color and interior I wanted and it was mine if I wanted it. Have to thank Ashton K. for the great selling job on the show!

Congrats Marty, but brace for impact: Some folks on this forum have been waiting years for their cars to arrive (and are still waiting). You were very, very fortunate in that you were able to get in to an actual car in the color and feature combo you wanted so quickly. Thank your lucky stars, your business partners, and the good folks at Fisker in Huntsville for hooking you up. You may hear some sour grapes from those of us who have been waiting, but that's just jealousy!

Marty, I am one of those guys who have been waiting close to 4 years for our Karma to be designed, built, certified and delivered and wanted to congratulate you on getting one of these great cars. No jealousy here, on the contrary, I am absolutely delighted to see more Karmas on the road whether it is mine or someone else's.

Happy driving and please post pictures and descriptions of your experience with your new car.

Some of us are more jealous than others. Big Grin

I'm kind of torn myself between the "first!" thing and waiting long enough to get most of the major bugs out (like the crash Brian had with the infotainment system, which apparently occurred in the main driver loop based on the slim bit of info in the diagnostic window, but I don't know if that's the nav subsystem main loop or the "main" main loop, etc).

On the other hand, I haven't been waiting 4 years. Well, OK, I have, but I haven't had money in it for even a full month yet. Big Grin

As long as you didn't take my Signature Edition from Huntsville I have no problems with you Marty. ;-)

I live just north of Atlanta (Cumming, GA) and drove a Fisker today and am interested in getting one. I would love to hear some some feedback from owners who have been using the car. Thanks.

Love mine. Century sent a flatbed and loaner 7-series for me to drive while the battery was replaced. Got it back in a few days all cleaned up. Had my charging station installed by that time. The ride is sweet, especially on Stealth mode. It feels like it is gliding. The audio is amazing but I enjoy driving with it off to get the full effect of the all electric ride. Very responsive and quick in traffic. Most of my driving can be done in a day on a single charge. I haven't had any major issues, software or otherwise. Still trying to figure out how to get Sirius Radio to hold presets. Must be something simple. Be prepared to spend a lot of time explaining what it is.
