I'm an original Karma owner (Eco Sport Inferno Red) having put my deposit down in 2008 and received delivery in May 2012.
I enjoyed driving the car and have used it for my daily commuting and now have 25,550 miles on it.
Most issues were resolved with software patches in the first few months, and I've lived with a number of minor issues since. Of the "250", I've probably experienced less than 10.
I appear to have my first major issue as the battery won't charge any longer. It goes into charging mode and clicks back off about 10 seconds later. I've been reading through the forums and see there could be a few different issues.
I use a 240V GE charger at home at use the 120V that came with the care at the office. I will be testing again with the 120V charger but suspect it was connected to that charger when it stopped working, so I will also try a public charging station.
Lifetime average fuel economy has probably been in the 120-145 mpg range - which I fully appreciate.
