    poor slob in the OP's link - an L.A. Times guy ... must be new to cars. All he had to do to get his facts right was go to any wiki article;

    Fisker Karma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    All those unemployed journalists ... and the L.A. Times are getting paid for rewriting history. Baaah - he wasn't that far off I guess. What, maybe 3 or 4 thousand miles?
    ;)
    EDIT;
    The main reasons that Fisker failed was because of unstable battery thermal management. I haven't seen any writings to indicate if they have changed their process. If that's the case, what's to stop the same thing from happening again.
