Stunning car Brent, the color combo you chose is simply amazing. Congrats on the car and enjoy it! I am also quite jealous of your very cool vintage 1960-ish VW beetle! A beauty!

Well, for one thing, Fisker doesn't get to set the route. Fisker is a consumer of logistics and shipping services and they have to select from what's available on the market. Fisker puts a couple hundred cars on a ship that holds thousands from numerous manufacturers (as well as trucks, other vehicles, and general cargo). I'm sure Fisker chooses the routes with the best optimization of cost, timing and convenience. Pretty much the same thing any of us do when trying to plan a trip by the airlinesWOJO said:Can anyone explain why my Karma's route is what it is?
Why from Germany to Sweden then back to Belgium, etc...
The cars get trucked to Turku from the factory where they are shipped in a smaller vessel to Germany to get on the transatlantic ship. This is probably more efficient than trucking the cars all the way to Sweden or Belgium. People have been optimizing trade routes and shipping since the Phoenicians plied the waters of the Mediterranean, so this process is pretty well understood. I am willing to trust Fisker and their shippers on this one.WOJO said:But WHY? not load Fiskers on a vessel to a much closer port: Sweden or Belgium, not in Germany. On top of it, that is where that vessel is going to anyway with our Fisker.
JFYI - this seems to be the "standard route" that all Karmas take, so to make you feel better, your car is not being shipped any differently than others in the past. :thumbup:WOJO said:Can anyone explain why my Karma's route is what it is?
