Fisker Automotive: The Rise and Decline of an American Electric Car Maker

Its no secret Fisker Automotive is in trouble. The maker of premium electric cars is clinging to life by its fingernails. One more setback could send them plummeting into the fiery abyss of financial ruin. Still, even if they roll snake eyes the firms founder has more than a few thoughts on what future transportation will be like.

Karmaversary: One year with my favorite car ever

Today is the anniversary of the delivery of my Fisker Karma. Given all that has gone on over the last twelve months, it seemed fitting to observe this occasion with both optimism and caution for the future.

Charging In the Wild

I have been taking photos of my Karma whenever I use a public charging station. It would be interesting if other owners could post about their experience with public chargers. I am usually parked next to a couple of Leafs, and very rarely a Volt. Here are some of the places:

The city of Palo Alto provides free Level II charging through the Chargepoint program at the city-owned parking garages such as this one:

NFL player Frank Walker recently posed with his new 2012 Fisker Karma on 24?s for Chrome Magazine. I guess just because hes driving electric now with a Fisker Karma doesnt mean he cant keep things flashy.

What do you think of the Fisker on 24?s?

Xpel Ultimate Install Pictures

So I finally figured out how to post the install pictures. Sorry if they are too big. Still getting this whole thing figured out. But At least I figured out the hardest part and that's posting the darn things. Very proud of our install though. Very fun car to work on. The best thing on the last picture is that you can't tell it's on the car which is the whole point. Hope everyone enjoys.:D

Under Promise, Over Deliver

What feature(s) in Karma that you felt was over promise and under deliver? or has yet delivered?

What about feature(s) under promised but over delivered?

I think listing out the features may help some of the new buyers to decide if Karma is right for them at this time.

My 5 Seater Karma with DVD's!

Hello All,

Four years ago, when I placed my deposit on my Karma I was a family of 4. My now,1 1/2 year old daughter came into our lives shortly before I took delivery. I had no choice but to make this work, as I loved my daughter but didn't want to give up my KARma!! Hence the family 5 seater karma was also born. Oh and of course my three little ones were happy to see they had their entertainment built in as well. Enjoy!!!

Doc....Fisker Enthusiast, Loyalist and Proud Owner!

PS the 2nd to last pic show the medium/ dark tint and also the H2 I had to balance out with the Karma.

MY FISKER - Body Kit - RESERVE by CEC

I finally got it.

CEC (Fisker Authorized Aftermarket Parts Dealer) had plans to build and sell their body kit thru Fisker but all plans have been put on hold until further notice.

So after long negotiations they sold me the only body kit in USA (possibly in the world). It's off of their own Fisker Karam they had at the SEMA SHOW. I was very pleased because I have the same color Karma so all was left to do is just to install it. They did a perfect job on paining it.
