I am still confused as to how Henrik Fisker is going to deliver the Karma in November of this year. A car that according to them averages 100 MPG, has 402 horsepower, weighs 4650 pounds. GM can barely build a Volt with all its expertise. Tesla, who is now in a lawsuit with Fisker claiming theft of trade secrets as they hired Fisker originaly to design a 4 door for them, is selling an Elise body 2 seater at over 100K. The Karma, which looks like 3X the car is $87K? Even if this car was a regular non-electric propulsion vehicle, that price seems cheap. The body is gorgeous. Possibly the best looking 4 door available. 959 lb/ft of torque available at 0 RPM's. *CURVED* solar roof panel.
I mean it all just seems too good to be true. One of my family members is about to put a deposit down on one. He relies on me for automotive info and once I showed him pics, he was hooked. But part of my brain still says 2 and 2 are not adding up. Does anyone have any insight or opinions on this thing?
