We have been spoiled with dealerships everywhere for mainstream purchases. The company is so new that one cannot expect dealerships right in ones own city no matter where you live. When I bought this car, that was a given in my mind..and worth it! Otherwise, if that were the most important decision factor for each of us, we would be driving other cars. Dealerships had a difficult time I would imagine as did the brand with all the negative press initially. Today, some consolidation is taking place in some areas, and expansion in others. The Tampa Bay dealership sold off its Aston Martin position to replace it with Fisker. They have taken orders 10,15,20 in the first 3 months 2012. My Miami dealership has been outstanding! They send a flatbed to my home and if I wish, a loaner car to replace it while being serviced if a serious problem. They are 1 1/2 hrs away from me. THAT is service representing Fiskers reputation and backs the customer service pledge! In one aspect it is more convenient than a local dealership. Tesla has sold around 2100 cars and has been around for what 3 years now. They are valued at 4B and Fisker has just begun. Fisker and the dealerships are standing behind and doing everything right with private funding and distancing itself from the DOE. Bottom line for me..if someone offered me another car...Tesla(no nearby dealership),Porsche,Aston Martin,Ferrari,etc.. with a nearby dealership in exchange for my Fisker...no thank you! They are working every day to correct the issues and one by one they are doing so. I thank Henrik Fisker for this most beautiful car and Tom Lasorda for helping to make this comapany successful and prosperous for years to come. Everyday when I go into my garage to unplug it and drive it, I would do it all again with no hesitation!
