I used to see Fiskers driving around mid-town Atlanta a couple times a month, but hadn't seen one for a few months (thought maybe they all burned down). But, I spotted one this afternoon. It was going up a big hill towards a green light, then suddenly just stopped in the middle of three north-bound lanes. Fail. Guess the owner hasn't gotten the LSX swap yet.
I do really like the way they look though. Was just like this one:

One of the prettiest modern sedans, no question. Definitely needs moar LSx.
I saw one driving around down in McDonough and I thought I was hallucinating. It was some rich lady (from the looks of the rock on her hand.) Same car maybe?
Funny, I was seeing quite a few of these around town as well a couple months a go, but now they're nowhere to be found.
Never seen one of those, but I do see a bunch of the Tesla model S around here. Went to the airport, saw one. Drove thru an industrial park last week, saw one. Went to a car show and saw 5 of them. That is when I learned you can get them in varying states of tune/range. Problem with them is I can't tell them apart from the Maseratis and the Jags that look just like them. I have to cheat and look at the badging.
The owner is in for it... The service plan on those includes paying for a technician to fly out to you IIRC...
Never seen a Fisker in real life but I have seen several of Tesla S around town. The tesla is a car that looks MUCH better in person for some reason.
Funny you right, last year I was seeing Fisker's around quite a lot, now they've all vanished and been replaced by Tesla's, where did they go.
LAst I heard was the founder was trying to buy back the remains of the company from the Government so he could resurect it..........then sell it back to the government again...rinse repeat
Yeah I think the Hurricane Sandy chain-explosion incident pretty much finished the company off. Their insurance never covered it.
I've seen 2 in Lithonia, GA of all places. One of them backed out into a busy highway and sat there. I'm guessing he couldn't get it restarted (LOL).

Yeah, that's a real bummer but it's hard to say they didn't deserve it. Im pretty sure quite a few Leafs have been submerged without having a 100% rate of burning to the ground afterwards.
I'd love to get ahold of one of the flooded ones. How does somebody go about that usually?
