I really enjoyed my Fisker, but found myself worrying about it too much. Guess I don't have what it takes to be an early adopter, but I use my car on a daily basis and don't want to have to always be worrying about "what if": what if I am in an accident and can't get parts? what if something happens and I can't find someone to service it?
My daily driver car is an important tool in my life, not a luxury that sits on the shelf 90% of the time. I didn't mind taking some chances when the company was on sound financial footing, but with bankruptcy apparently imminent and the company in crisis mode I didn't want to sit by and watch while issues are being sorted out. Yes there are some good outcomes possible, but there are plenty of bad ones as well (at least for those in my position).
I respect those of you who can take those chances, and wish I was there with you. Perhaps if I was more of a car collector all would be well, as I could just take the car out on special occasions and I could handle possible adversity a bit better.
So my SE has been traded in for a Maserati Quattroporte. It's also fun to drive, but doesn't turn heads the way the Karma did. I'll miss that, but I won't miss the need to follow the Fisker drama.
Good luck to you all. Skibum out.
