Fisker In the Wild

Parked in the garage at work. Looks like that one model Land Rover.

What’s going on with those weird quarter windows?

What’s going on with those weird quarter windows?

As far as why they are so small, no idea... But I did see in a video that they roll down

All I can focus on is the fact that the owner didn't park within the lines....

Is the color actually a matte finish, or just the lighting?

They just opened a location in Vista, CA, and they are doing are doing test drives in Phoenix this week. We did a test drive last Wednesday and might have a video on it this week.

Overall... the best thing about it is the paint. I really love that. It seems ver well built. The materials aren't super premium but that's OK. The rotating screen is nice but you can only use it in horizontal mode while parked. The rest of the software seemed OK but it is definitely a work in progress.

My biggest issue was with the drivetrain. Doesn't have full one pedal driving... yet. And it does something I've never experienced in another EV -- it rolls backward while in Drive. I came to a light on a hill and came to a complete stop. I let my foot off the brake because I was going to make a right on red as traffic allowed. And that's when I started rolling backwards -- not just a foot but several feet. The Fisker person in the car with us said the fix for that was coming soon.

Probably gives him more door ding protection from someone who parks on his left. There's no parking space to his right. I would probably do the same thing with my new car.

I would back into this spot and hug the wall on the passenger side

Saw one on my commute today on Long Island. First seeing one for me.

The parking spaces in those rows are labeled small cars lol this person still parked there. To the poster above about picking the parking spot. Lol yes thats what I do but I park the next one over and my tires are on the one divider line So no one would dare squeeze in.

The parking slots there are so outdated they need to redo them for today sizes make them wider.

Hmmm... Unless I have auto-hold on (and it engages), my MME does the same thing: it'll roll backward on a hill. If I push down just a bit on the go pedal, it stops doing that, pretty much just like an ICE. This is in regular two-pedal, as I rarely (like never) use one-pedal.

I guess it has been a while since I disabled Autohold on our Mach-E. I'll do some experimenting.

It was good to hear they will be implementing a fix.

I don’t know anything about the Fisker.

I think it’s kinda boring and ugly looking.

what’s supposed to be special about the Fisker?

the go pedal

I need to use that!
