IDK heard it was pretty bad from almost all the reviews but fixed is fixed i guess
The Fisker weighs 5,300 lbs but your going to call the Model S fat? Or do you mean just batteries tech in general? Either way, glass houses and such.
That's more around what I expected. $5,550? In that case no one would make their own cars!! Obviously, I don't know the actual number I just assumed the same logic from the Roadster would apply here too. My 40% reduction was to say that other then styling it's not fundamentally different then the Cadillac ELR, Could be wrong and experience would say I am but with the ELR price around mid $50,000 to $70,000 range, the Fisker looks ATLEAST $30,000 over-priced.
The Command Center works as it was designed to. It will never be an Ipad, it was never designed with that in mind (despite what Henrik Biden Fisker says in a couple of interviews). The Command Center is faster now, and should be faster with the March update. It doesn't crash ever and does exactly what it was meant to do. No you can't surf the web on it, nor do the maps on the Nav look particularly attractive. But c'est la vie.
Regarding the weight, the Karma is indeed thicker around the hips and weighs as you pointed out 5,300 lbs (about 600 lbs more than the Model S 85kwh at 4,700lbs). But that was not the point of my comment - my point was that at 5,300 lbs, the Karma has UNLIMITED range - that is, it can take advantage of the existing gas infrastructure which is ubiquitous. The Model S, at present, has a realistic range of 210-240 miles and for more than that, you need to be on a Supercharger route, ginger your car at low speed and without heating/cooling, and have about an hour to spare (or more - the comments JB made in a recent CNN article said that on weekends, the Harris Ranch Supercharger has an average of 6 Model S' waiting in line for the single connector!). When I was in college nearly a decade ago, I would frequently make the drive from the Bay Area down to LA in about 5.5 hours or so, stopping quickly for gas. In the Model S, as Dennis and a few others have pointed out, that trip would take more like 8 hours. In my Karma, that trip would take 5.5 hours (even with the radio blasting, the heat on, traveling at 75mph++). I don't have to change the way I drive my car, nor change my driving patterns (the thought of waiting an hour or two in line for a charger, then another hour to charge ... that's basically a dealbreaker). So back on topic, my point is that when EVs realistically offer say 400 miles+ of realistic, real world range per charge and/or can recharge in the same time it takes for me to fill up, that's when EVers and ICEs will be made fully obsolete. Until then, its EVer all the way (again, your mileage may vary). Again, the beauty of the EVer is that if you drive less than (realistically)40-45 miles per day, you can drive in pure EV mode - using zero gas. If you have an impromptu trip or you forgot to plug-in overnight, you can fret not - because you have Plan B ready to go (ie gas). Its all about flexibility and freedom.
Lastly, tastes do vary, but I have yet to meet someone who isn't stunned by the Karma's looks. In photos, its impressive, but in person it is stunning. To say that the Karma and the ELR look like they should be in the price category is to say that a Vantage and Toyota FRS are in the same category (the Vantage gets up to 60 in about 5.2s, and the FRS in about 6.2s, the FRS has better fuel economy). The first few weeks I had my Karma, people had asked what new Ferrari/Aston/Maserati this was and had guessed the car cost upwards of $200K. That was before they knew anything about the car (that it was electric, brand new car co, etc).
