While there is no official release date yet for 6.15, I learned from my dealer today that it is targeted for March 15. Fisker is doing a 2-3 week beta test before releasing it to all the dealers - a definite improvement in their process!

Included is a fix for the gas gauge resetting to zero, a problem I have experienced several times.

I heard 6.15 will fix whatever 6.14.2 did not fix

What I've heard from the dealer is that 16.5 is currently in beta, and will be ready for installation mid to late March.

I am thrilled that 6.15 is coming.
Not great that we get this info from dennis instead of FISKER.

Unlikely given that 6.14.2 didn't necessarily fix all that was not fixed in 6.13...

Wouldn't it be great if Fisker made a list of what is fixed in 6.15 available to the dealers when they release the software to them? :idea:

That way they wouldn't be bypassing their distribution and service channel. Each owner could consult with their dealer to determine if it was worthwhile to schedule a service appointment to upgrade their software. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but what would I know. I'm just a customer.

BTW, my service manager agrees. But again, what would he know. He's just a guy working for a firm that invested millions of dollars to sell and service Fisker automobiles.

Good thing they are bèta-testing this version. I hope two weeks of testing is enough though, I'd be more happy with two months. But as many cars are being delivered every day now (deliveries have finally started in most European coutries, until now just customers in The Netherlands were getting their Karma) it is important to get the major bugs fixed quickly and get all cars relatively bug-free as soon as possible. So that the tone of this forum can change to what it should be. Perfection in the form of a really thoroughly tested version (6.18, 6.19, 6.20?) can come later.

Before Arun was laid off he made several accurate predictions concerning deadlines on my car including that I would get my car this week. He told me that Fiskers goal is to have everything fixed by 6.30 .

Just a heads when they release an update they do include what the update is going to do and list which modules get the software update . Before we start a update we check what the latest software version that module has and after the update we make sure the software version has changed .

It would be nice if the customer was told what would change or was given release notes so we didn't feel in the dark so often. We could provide better feedback if we knew what to expect.
