Both are in the works and will be resolved.

....Trust me.

The technology advances toward this brand are unbelievable.

Soon to be shipped in Europe in volume. Soon spreading to Middle East and Asia.

It's going to happen fella's! Be glad you received your car or soon will. In time the global demand will push the Karma to all corners of the earth. Demand will outstrip supply. It will become an Icon of the Automobile industry. Later Fisker will wake the world with the Project Nina line and the rest is history.

Plugitin,

Sorry about that. I am just loosing faith in Fisker Karma based on the way they dealt with all the command center problems. I do want them to do well, but I am not holding my breath. I learned to keep my expectation very low at this time. This helps me to be like Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

plugitin,

You seem to be very optimistic, which is great. Is there something you can share with us to boost our optimism or is it just your nature?

I can assure you, It's not my nature. I just deal with a number of big banks and Venture firms around the globe. Lot of insight.

My short term concern or priority is to get the Karma/Software - Stabilized. This must happen within the next few released IMO.

You have the some of the best in the business working on financing. I'm not worried here.

I have to say I'm seeing a lot of pessimism on this forum and not much optimism.

There was pessimism that Fisker wouldn't make it when the company was launched 4 years ago, and they made it. There was pessimism that they wouldn't complete the car and they did. There was pessimism they wouldn't be able to produce it in significant numbers and they are doing right that.

And now there is pessimism that they can't fix the electronic issues troubling the cars that have already been delivered, even though they are working hard on fixing them and seem to be making progress. Why not believe that they can solve them? There is pessimism the company won't survive because the Nina-program has been put on hold because they are renegotiating the loan-conditions, even though the Karma is fully funded. Why not believe that they can live on the Karma for now, that they can re-negotiate, that they can find more private funds, that they can go public...

There is not enough celebration of an American success. A little bit of setback or roadblock, non-doers come out in full force trashing and FUDding. Where has the American innovation and risk taking gone to? Is America going to take a back seat to the emerging countries?

I am looking at the Fisker Karma, they go from zero to a car in four years. That is mighty impressive. But some said they are two years too late. So late they should not be in business? Fisker has probably over promised. Better late than never. Look at the car, how nicely it drives, almost no trip to gas station for some, drives clean and it is stunning.

Karma is very much like a computer. It is not an ICE car, put in your key, turn and go. It need to do a complete boot up first. Impatient driver pressing multiple function before it boots up will confuse the computer. Should it happen that way? Probably not. Fisker delivered a working car, the fine tuning will be done...beauty of software. A lot of high-tech companies will ship their hardware to the field, deploy, gain field experience and improve. You all have got a great car. What is stopped is Nina which has nothing to do with Karma. Wouldn't you do the same thing if the business plan involving DOE changed? Take a breather and reevaluate.

Fisker designs too beautiful a car to go out of business. If you have the right product, you have no problem with demand. I have every confidence that Fisker will survive and flourish.

I agree with Sparky,

I have only had two glitchy rides and both were because I rushed the car.
Normally, I do not rush it.
I unlock it, open the door, and let it get fully AWAKE (dash fuel and electricity gages fully up) before I press the Start/Stop without the brake to bring it into ACC mode. Then I again wait for about a minute to try to press Accept on the Command Center for the first time. Once the Command Center is fully booted, then I plug in a USB stick, if I want, and then I remove the parking brake, press Drive, and carry on. Never had a glitch when I did it slow and steady like this.
