But, if Sync crashes and reboots on you, the car is driveable.
There are growing reports on internet forums that Fisker's Karma suffers from software bugs that make the car unsafe. For example, this report on FiskerBuzz.com:
complete blackout while drivingAnd, of course, the now famous Consumer Reports' own Karma bricking.
situation driving at 7pm pst this evening and for the second time in two weeks at 70 miles per hour the "idiot lights" behind the steering wheel all light up the car goes dark including the headlights and then the dash disappears and after a few seconds it rebuilds itself. This is very dangerous and random. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what have you done about it. This condition is a safety issue and an accident/lawsuit waiting to happen.
Why would Fisker ship a vehicle that was suffering from severe software issues? My guess is the need the money badly, and expect the owners to understand that beautiful cutting edge cars need some growing time.
The problem for Fisker is that there are lot of ways to spend $100,000, and get world class transportation. For example, one could buy one of the industry's most reliable hybrid vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius or Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, and have money left over for a killer sports car.
