Well the day finally arrived: My wife and I took delivery of our new Fisker Karma! We bought the car from Fisker of Atlanta (shout out to Jamin Workmaster who took great care of us!).
Our Karma is an EcoSport, painted Deep Ocean with the Black Sand Monotone interior. It is gorgeous.
Some notes and observations:
Here are a couple of photos to prove it happened:

I think I'm going to sign off now and go driving around!

Our Karma is an EcoSport, painted Deep Ocean with the Black Sand Monotone interior. It is gorgeous.
Some notes and observations:
- Our car is on software version 6.14.2
- The fit and finish is excellent. There are virtually no gap issues, and the problem areas - the trunklid, the bumper/hood/headlight junction and the windows at the pillars are all very acceptable. I personally beleive that because the Deep Oceans ended up being hand painted there was more attention to some of these issues
- The car did not come with floormats but the dealer is throwing them in. They usually retail for $180 which we both agreed was silly for a $100K car. The mats are on backorder and I should get them in about two weeks
- I had a couple favorable surprises at the dealership: They ended up giving me $1000 more for my trade-in than they had originally offered (they chalked it up to a typo in my favor
) and the finance rate was 0.2% lower than expected. They were able to get me financing at 2.7%, which is better than my bank.
- I haven't tested everything, but so far I've had no problems with the PRND, backup camera, radio or some of the other common gremlins
- I did have my first glitch: After I stopped for my impromptu photoshoot (see below) the Check Engine light came on when I restarted the car. The car is now in the garage charging. I'll see if it's on when I get back in it later.
