    27:52 Kyle: a little drink spillage. Are we good? Alyssa: Yeah, I guess? 🙄 We all heard that eye roll. Lo
  • I own one of these, only in the S spec trim. I believe it to be the perfect blend of electric drive "feel", but with no range anxiety whatsoever. On a road trip, I never have to worry about any charging issues, as any petrol station is my "charger". I find the interior to be very high quality, with the same leather used by Bentley and Rolls. The screens are blended into the dash for a more traditional feel, as opposed to the bolt on tablet look that has sadly become popular. In regards to the exterior design, all I can say is that it elicits positive feedback and questions literally every time I take it anywhere. Folks that aren't on the bleeding edge of technology, nor care to be, and have the means to afford this, may find it as attractive as I do.

    The best part of this video was you were racing around my neighborhood. Not much interest in the car at that price but it was fun seeing you put it through its paces.

    Great review. Looked similar to Taycan’s back seat space (center console excluded) which is why the Cross Turismo Turbo S would be my preference. I wonder what the estimated range is with a full tank?🤔
  • @dan-dibiase
    Man I hate that engine noise when accelerating.
  • @MursAlison
    Interior really had me shocked for that price range

    Screw the Doug Score, does it make you wanna put your elbow on the door?

    There's was a black Karma (not Fisker) behind me Wednesday in Orlando. Not sure of the exact model. Not sure if it is owned or a tester.

    I dont see panel gaps like in the old fisker. This car looks far better than any maserati sedan on sale today. Almost as good looking as the Aston Martin Rapide.
  • quick question so when do i switch to full gas so i can choose to run gas and save my electricity and when im out of gas switch to electric ?
  • @Streeknine
    I was waiting for Kyle to say "Power" like Tim the Toolman Taylor a few times. Especially at those launches. lol

    feel bad for them that they don't have enough money to design a new car cuz they're obviously trying to keep it fresh and update it, don't know what they're gonna do when eventually it becomes too outdated for any meaningful sales. Still building more cars than Fisker is right now, wonder if any Fiskers models will actually go to production. I am also really impressed that the GS e 6 will start at $80,000. That's much better value, glad to see the price come down
  • The car reminds me of a modern day take on a 1930 era car. The long hood is the feature that sticks out. I picked up a matchbox model of these car. It goes with the older fisker model matchbox made. At this point this all i can afford to buy one at all. As for the real car it has a nice look that stands out. The engine generator is interesting feature but seeing they what to ban gas engines by 2035 it will be intersting to see how it plays out longer run. It would nice to see if a SUV is in the works seeing others have jumped on this design for bettervor worse.
  • Exterior design,crazy!!! Everything else well... What can i say exept why???
  • @chaseincats
