Earlier this morning I finally picked up my Karma, yay!!! Here's my quick report:
Good things:
1. Car looks AMAZING!!!
2. Car sounds amazing!
3. Car drives pretty much exactly like the Roadshow cars minus the leaf blower.
4. Visibility is excellent - I drove it all around town in traffic and on highways and it is absolutely no problem to see what's around you.
5. I actually got about 50 miles on my charge! And that was doing a mix of city and highway with some pretty heavy driving (no A/C or heater going tho).
6. Hill Mode 2 kicks ass!! I was using it constantly which is probably why I got 50 miles on the charge.
Bad things:
1. Fisker has a loooong way to go on build quality if they want people to pay $120k for this. There isn't a single panel on that car that is fitted correctly. From 10' away it all looks fine, but up close you can see what is probably the sloppiest assembly job I've ever seen. I'll send photos later.
2. The infotainment software has a loooong way to go. Very, very sluggsh - to the point of impossible to use, and it malfunctions a lot. I used the Nav system to get me home and when it got home, the computer actually CRASHED. Error dialog with crash messages and all. When I turned off the car and turned it back on everything was frozen for about 20 seconds until I tried again and the system apparently did a hard reset.
3. Infotainment system is really hard to see. It's in a difficult location and a difficult angle to see - horrible glare, and with sunglasses it's 2x worse.
That's all I can think of for now. I put about 60 miles on it today, but Ill be putting on a lot more in the next couple of days.
