Fisker Karma Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle at Discovery Channel

my dream car!!

My next car!

hey im from denmark and i am friend with henrik fiskers nephew and that is true

sorry forgot to add: much greater range, 7 seats, 17 inch touchscreen and humugous cargo space

major flaw in the video:
Henrik fisker didnt invest Li-Ion batteries, and was also not the first one to put them in a car.
It also wasnt his idea to use huge-torque electric motors to power cars.
major flaw in most comments:
the competition for this car is not the tesla roadster, its the tesla model s, which isnt QUITE as beautful, but cheaper, more fuel efficient (0l/100km), and faster.
the roadster is already outdated

I have seen the 7-seater Tesla prototype. nothing to brag home about, with 2 small kids completing the 7 and facing back ! (??)
The Karma and that Tesla prototype are for completely different consumer markets.
BTW, Fisker will put to production a low cost (relative term) car in the next years, around $47k.

Those are not "big errors". The Karma is the status symbol for a hybrid car, much better looking than any hybrid out there.
And so what if the 0-60 time needs the IC engine running? I fail to see the error or big deal.

The error was that they said it did 0-60 in "under six seconds" while "using no gasoline". Got to burn some gasoline to get those times. Not sure why; maybe there's a current limit in the battery system. I believe Fisker uses an EnerDel pack, but I don't know the specs on that pack.

They said "ultimate status symbol" without qualifier. If they had said "ultimate hybrid status symbol", I would be fine with that statement. :-)

Nothing fundamentally wrong with the GM engine; it should last OK given that it's going to run at constant speed, and only when being used as a generator.

I like the Tesla drive system design better overall myself (because internal combustion engines are so klunky), but the limited electric-only range on the Tesla is a problem for me.

So nothing wrong with the GM engine, we both agree then.
You like Tesla because combustion engines are "so klunky"?? People love the sound of IC engines, and that is why sound is being added to the hybrid/electric cars.
