Everything Wrong With The Fisker Karma In 90 Seconds | BLIP!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
There's no question that the Fisker Karma is a unique vehicle, but it also seems like it's plotting to kill anyone who drives it. Watch Jason flip out and narrowly escape death and ball-crushing in this Blip.

This came out before the model s. But really the main reason for teslas success is their great use of media. Instead of giving it to car journalists they gave it to tech journalists which built up hype to the point that the car journalists had to say that everything is perfect or they would get death threats. Don't get me wrong it's a good car but it's far from perfect.

bdpa kaknox it also breaks down
My family owns a fisker and I've never had an issue with the exhaust. The motor turns off in traffic even when the battery is low. Even at speeds of 2 mph it simply glides under the car.
The exhaust and panel gaps are valid points. Nothing else mentioned here is actually a problem.
...and I still want 1! ;)
Based on the title, I was expecting a large list of issues to be crammed into a short duration. Seeing the same 3 items repeated over and over and over makes the video seem as though there's absolutely nothing else wrong with the vehicle other than "exhaust location" (fixable by rolling up window when idling), steering wheel adjustment "potency", and some panel gaps. Repeating the same 3 issues just starts to seem like a malicious substitute for actual complaints.... I'm confused, does this car drive poorly, feel uncomfortable on the inside, or have reliability issues? I knew nothing about the car before, and I still know nothing about it. I've learned more about this Jason person than I have about the car. I'd still probably prefer a Tesla, but not as a result of this review.

I thought the gas engine was only to extend mileage if the battery failed, so you wouldn’t be sitting smelling exhaust, you’d be in the wind trying to find a charge station. And this is the only complaint I’ve heard of the gaps.

That exhaust would be illegal in Australia. Only classic hotrods & replicas are allowed to have side exhausts, & even then the outlet has to be behind the rear most opening into the passenger cabin.

If they made Back to the Future in modern time, Doc would have used a Fisker for his time machine. A unique looking car from a failed company. It's unreliable, and not that fast either. It would look good for a time machine though.

He might have still gone with the Delorean. They were going to go with a refridgerator, but were afraid some kid might get stuck in one and die, so they went with the Deloreans instead. With the whole frost thing, the fridges and Deloreans being stainless over a fiberglass shell, they're theoretically better suited to the conditions those "time machines" were to have seen in the movie.

I don't know how the engine could be on while you were standing still but it's a electric car with a range extender. Usually it's only on when driving fast, driving slow or standing still, it's not on. You must have turned on "charge the batteries" or something like that.

I got exhausted with that exhaust cut in jeez how many times did he have to do that.
Regardless on all these minor issues i will buy one!
I'm not familiar with how the Fisker runs but wouldn't the engine turn off while the car is in a stationary position like every other hybrid? At a stop there should be no exhaust while in motion it would Wisk away under the car
So awesome, I love it. Is this guy for real?

Some of these comments are nuts. The Mercedes SLR had the exhaust in the exact same place, (on both sides!) and somehow, nobody died.
But does it make a sound when is started?
Panel gaps & subcompact car interior space. Lol
I've watched a few videos, now I've watched this, subscribed
LOL have you seen that electric mirror switch ? 1:42 Yes it is the same as in my Suzuki wagon R+ / Opel Agila
Why the hell would they put an exhaust pipe RIGHT in front of the drivers window?!!! I like the looks but damn, how could you screw this up so bad for a car thats supposed to be eco friendly.

No place under the car because of the batteries. Also pipes produce heat and it would be dangerous for the batteries.
The exhaust does come out the back on mines it does yours is probably just broken
I wonder, did they have the exact problem with Mercedes SLR AMG with the exhaust position?
i would like a fisker karma to engine swap with a rotary 20b
exhaust is there because it was run to back it was heat up batteries underneath
Was not zipping up your fly an accident or is it a cinematography thing?
Woooow...I have no words, just laughs.
Other than the absurd location of the ICB's exhaust ports and the horrendous panel gaps, nothing else on this list qualifies, at all, as 'wrong.'
i love the noticeable GM parts, such as the turn signal and wiper arm. and im pretty sure the mirror adjuster switch is GM as well. i own a 2010 pontiac g6 so i know they are GM

wow there is one flaw! that exhaust will barely make it into the car when your stopped and have the window down.
Soo... the exhaust exit and the panel gap in the trunk? The rest are just nit picky granted it's $100k new, or half that used. I thought that, legally, the exhaust had to exit from behind the driver door.
It's electric so the exhaust I wouldn't think is toxic...I got to look this up now

I can’t believe people get paid to kindergarten pout about certain features that are a non-factor in a car. Definitely not the first and last car with a side exit exhaust. That probably one of the most popular things he complained about on a car with that feature.
its a hand built car like the ford gt. it has gaps and even cracks on the hood from the fiberglass. at least the karma dosnt crack. and not a deal breaker for me its a beautiful car and powerful. i still cant believe it has 950 pond ft of torque!!
