I've been _driving_ the Fisker.
From canyon cruises, short and long freeway hauls & city driving to having it full of ladies and showing off, I've really put in the miles.
When I go somewhere to park, they give me the best spot. Sometimes paid parking is free. I picked up one lady friend and she said "my other gf's need to see this" so we went and picked them up too
The car has exceeded my expectations for the driving experience and design. It's just awesome.
Some feedback:
* navi wasn't used once.
* I wanted to browse the net on the console a couple times while parked.
* I used the climate control a lot and still can't figure out when "auto" is actually doing anything. I end up setting the fan speed and heat manually with a half dozen clicks. Its very dangerous to do while driving because the small buttons on the interface for critical things.
* I'd prefer physical controls for the most common things which for me are AC & Audio volume. The digital controls should be for various settings and more detailed tuning. Simple dials in the day: http://cl.ly/41411Q361W3c263j1L2k - and in this screenshot the more advanced controls could be in the GUI.
* At night there is no way to dim/turn off the console that I've found. This is a startling oversight.
* the voice command tag system is unusable. I tried several times.
* In stealth mode MPH should show in the same place it does on sport mode.
* Both clocks are terrible. Reading the one on the console may cause a crash and the one on the dash doesn't need to be laid out like it is.
* I'd like more control over the interior lighting - brightness / colors
* In Sport mode the accelerate bar never goes to "full". It's about 3/4th an inch away. Is this expected behavior?
