Hello David from Fisker Automotive, I would like to ask you a few questions on the engine "noise". I think these questions are on the mind of many forum members/deposit holders, so that is why I ask them in public.
Considering that during the test drives by customers in the US and by journalists in Europe there has been mention of a loud, intrusive sound when the petrol engine and generator kick in (when the battery is low), can you tell us:
- If the cars used for the US test drives are pre-production models? (this was more or less already confirmed by the Fisker-people assisting with these test drives)
- If the cars used for the press day in Italy are pre-production models?
- If not, have these cars been fitted with the new mufflers?
- If yes, will the engine and generator in the real production cars be less loud/intrusive?
- If not, will this be solved with later production cars?
- If it is solved later, will there be a retrofit for early customers?
I hope you can look into this. Thank you.
