wow. I love it when dealers don't know crap about the product they're selling.

[RickenbaughCadillac]

I am curious to know what it is that you know about the product that we don't? All that was repeated is what was told to us by Fisker about their product. Which I must admit has been very little. If you know something that we do not I would really like to know so that we do not mis-state any information in the future.

At 1:10 "In addition to being fully electric"

I certainly hope they will inform customers how to fill up the gas tank upon purchase otherwise you will have some stranded people.

It's not a big slip-up but when you're selling $80k cars you should be very careful what you represent them as.

Good point. We were not clear when we were talking about the Karma as a PHEV. We should have said the the first 50 miles are purely electric, with the extended range coming from the 2.0L ecotec engine that re-charges the battery, which powers the two electric motors that turn the rear wheels. By no means were we trying to mis-represent the vehicle.

Just release it already

I completely agree. This has been going on for too long now. I do know that the first production Karma's are being built this month, but they are only show cars. Still no new information on when retail production will start.

Great Video, the car is awesome, I have seen it in person and it lives up to the beauty shown. This car is going to be a smash hit.
