Took our first gas-free drive today to the store. After fiddling with the settings all morning, my 13-year-old and I got in the car, pushed the start button with my foot on the brake, and heard a "thunk." It was an electronic "thunk", but a "thunk" nonetheless. We looked at each other, each of us mouthing, "Oh shit..." (he said 'crap'), but the "Agree" came on as normal. And then suddenly, everything went dark.
So I pushed it again.
This time all came up normal after touching "agree", but I waited a solid 60 seconds before doing so.
All my radio presets were gone, same for satellite. We headed out to the street, where he asked how fast I was going. I looked and said, "Woah, I don't know, it's says zero."
"But Dad, we're moving, it can't be zero, duh..."
After rolling my eyes, I finally realized that not only do I have a sarcastic 13-year-old, but I just had my first real Fisker Glitch.
But on the plus side, it came back after locking it to go shopping and then restarting. Even better, was that we went about 17 miles round trip, and used about 19 miles of battery charge in the process, thus not using a single drop of gas.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is cool.
Oh yeah, and it still says we're getting 409 MPG...
