In the growing downward spiral that has become Fisker Automotive, yet another problem has emerged.
After last week's calamity with Consumer Reports and its privately acquired test vehicle, you would
hope the marque would catch a break. For those of you who missed out, Consumer Reports was putting a Karma through its "check-in" procedure before it began testing when the Karma went kaput.
It had less than 200 miles on its odometer.
NOW, a technology publication is reporting that a whistleblower has outed a skeleton from Fisker's closet. Yeah'p, word on the street suggests that Fisker prematurely brought the Karma to market before it was ready. That would make sense as it's been written that the Karma has had some problems.
But if that's the case, how much longer would we of had to wait until the Karma was properly ready to ship? If you don't recall, the Karma was already way behind schedule for its star-studded debut.
According to reports, the Karma was shoved into the limelight early because it had to meet requirements for those Department of Energy loans, which it didn't receive anyway.
One issue with this whistleblower though: After leaving Fisker, he has moved onto Coda -- this guy sure as hell doesn't know how to find job security, that's all I have to say.
Should we start a pool? What's NEXT for the very trouble Fisker brand?
Place your bets starting now...
