OK ... dang it, I'm back... not that i really want to be and hear my posts getting trashed. yes, I posted one earlier that said "I told you so" and got blasted for saying that and that Fisker wasn't bankrupt yet so I can't help myself but say it again... "I told you so!"
anyhoo, let's get past that.
I'd like to get people's opinions on how we Fisker owners can mitigate risk in a "post invalid-warranty" world. Body panel and exterior work is something I'm not too fussed about as any good body shop should be able to fix things unless you're in a serious accident. The engine is also something I'm not as worried about after I heard that they're just the old 2L Saturn engines so mechanics should be familiar with them.
I'm more worried about the drive train and electronics... the dealership techs seem to know their way around so there's hope there but my big question is with the batteries.
Why wouldn't Tesla batteries or any future batteries be able to be swapped in for our batteries? Isn't it just a electrical storage unit so how difficult is it to customize batteries to fit into that center module space that runs down the middle of the car? Could there even be a possibility that newer batteries that are smaller and lighter fit in as well?
