Katie you seem to hate this company and have a personal vendetta against them. I hear your husband works for tesla.

Even with all the delays, I think they shipped cars before they were ready. Besides the minor glitches, some customers are reporting critical issues such as: the car refusing to shift into drive, the speedometer freezing because the touchscreen infotainment system locked up, the car breaking down on the highway with a full tank of gas because the generator didn’t turn on when the battery ran out, etc…

On top of this is seems the communication from Fisker with it’s customers has been rather poor. I really hope they get their act together, because this may reflect poorly on the entire EV industry.

And it was originally 15,000 planned to ship in 2011 back in the day. Then 3,000 even by Sept 2011.

Ouch, 225 vehicles delivered versus 5000 planned.

@Nick Prudent. Agreed. I think it was a stretch to try to plan a 100,000 volume second car before the first was built.

Great job gathering the facts. Hopefully, they’ll put the whole Nina project on ice until they are profitable on the Karma & can fix the early manufacturing bugs.
No point in starting a new project when their first car has such a poor MPG.
