When I tried to register the anti-bot verification code did not display, so I was unable to type it in. Registration failed.

Good starting list. Some comments:

•PRND "disco light" effect
You may not *like* it, but AFAIK this is intentional behavior and not a defect.
***** Can you explain why or when it does this effect or is it just random? If just random, how can that possibly have been intentional? Or is this just a case (as I suspect) of calling a "Bug" a "Feature"?

•Requirement to "wait" to plug in charger. Car needs to automatically recycle fans and allow full charging no matter how quickly you plug in.
Where does this 'requirement' come from? It's not in the owners manual, and I've always plugged in immedately after parking without any charging issues.
***** No, it's NOT in the owners manual (because it's not supposed to work this way) but if you plug in before the fans and lights go out you may not get a complete charge and the fans/lights continue to operate the entire cycle. I was advised by my dealer upon delivery to "wait". Others at this forum have commented on this issue.

•Diagnostics display should actually do something (i.e., "OK" when that's the status of a sub-system or should show values, like tire pressure). In 6.14, it does nothing....
The diagnostics display does show something when there is a fault. I agree that I'd like to see tire pressure all the time, but that's an enhancement, not a bug
***** Are you sure it does something? My dealer says "not until next revision (6.15)".

•Ability to turn OFF City time display. (Don't care what time it is in New York).
You can do this already. Under settings turn off the second time zone display
***** My bad.

}}}}}}} No, I've not figured out a rhyme or reason either, but other threads here have discussed this and even some Fisker-knowledgeable people have weighed in. The car has a few design flourishes (window to nowhere, anyone?) that I'm not sure I 'get'

}}}}} I've never heard of this, and it's not something Fisker is telling all owners. Like I said, it works for me correctly every time. Have you actually had problems with it, or are just leery based on what you've heard?

}}}} Yes, I'm sure. The diagnostic screen displays faults. If nothing is displayed (all systems OK) then it's just a mostly static screen, with a grey-on-grey display and a slow animation in the center. When there is a fault, the Diag button turns orange, and pressing it displays the Diag screen with the offending subsystem(s) displaying in orange as well. Pressing the system in question will display a detail page describing the particular fault. I've seen it on my car for a Parking System fault, and many others have seen it for a Tire Pressure fault. There are screenshots in the forums somewhere too. Your dealer gave you inaccurate information. The enhancement I was referring to is that if you get a tire pressure fault, the detail page will tell you the pressure of the offending tire and the pressure of the other three tires as well. Unfortunately, the only way to see that page; and therefore your tire pressures, is when one of the tires is out of spec.

Could someone with some time and preferably bug management experience (cough cough, Dennis? ) create an initial structure for classification, reporting and management of these bug reports? Wikipedia is great not just because it includes gobs of information, but also because the information is searchable, somewhat accurate/reputable, and logically and consistently presented. A good set of goals for the FiskerBuzz wiki, IMHO.

I also can't seem to figure out how to log in. Any tips ?

As requested, I added a Problem Classification page to the wiki here. Content follows for those of you who have not yet created an account on the wiki:

Users entering problems into the system should designate them with one of the following classifications:

Severe - Problem interferes with the ability to operate the vehicle or could constitute a potential safety hazard. Example: Instrument panel display sometimes spontaneously goes blank and resets while driving.

Moderate - Some aspect of the vehicle's operation is not working according to its specification, and there is no obvious workaround. Example: Proximity sensor warning beeps sometimes do not turn off.

Minor - Some aspect of the vehicle's operation is not working according to its specification, but there is an easy workaround or the problem can be ignored. Example: Front proximity sensors do not work if the vehicle is in Hill mode.

Enhancement - The vehicle is operating as designed, but would be better/more user friendly if a change were made to its behavior. Example: The large MPH display in the center of the instrument panel should be active in Stealth mode, not just in Sport mode.

BTW, I am happy to support this effort, but I believe it is most likely redundant with the system that Fisker Customer Support and Engineering are using to track the status of problems reported by the dealers and through phone support. So it might make us feel better, but provides little utility to Fisker in getting our problems solved.

Thank you dennis for contributing.

More improvements forthcoming.

Thanks Dennis! I suspected you'd be the perfect guy to set this up

Ok, I made the first entry. Basically recopied my original "bugs" and "enhancements" list with a few changes based upon responses at this forum and based onb some additional personal experience and also some limited responses from a Fisker factory rep.

I realize this may seem redundant with the list we all presume Fisker is keeping but I find it useful as a punch list for when I am told 6.15 is ready....
