My grandfather was pretty wealthy and lived in a community with tons of other luxury cars in Boyton Beach. Lots of 7 series, S class, Bentley and the occasional Rolls. When this car was brand new I was in the Boynton Beach mall with him. We saw it in a beautiful metallic brown karma revero from across the mall. My grandfather called the dealer (Lamborgini of West Palm Beach). Upon arriving, he ignored the beautiful green Aventador S that Marques Brownlee was filming with (episode 2 of auto focus). After ignoring many other Lamborginis, he walked right past a Porsche 918, thinking nothing of it, until he saw the Brown Karma Revero. The cool factor was through the roof, everywhere he went people asked what it was! That's in West Palm Beach too! He loved the car in every way. He barely needed gas between the hybrid and how little he drove lol. He paid ~$1,000/m on a lease because they couldn't give them away if they tried at the time. The only issue he ever had during ownership (because he barely drove) was a valet crushed the radiator and a few other front end components. All of which were basically made to order at this point. Between damage and lost time, the insurance claim basically paid for the whole lease. He was so happy. He contemplated buying it after the lease because he loved it so much. THANKFULLY he did not. Great memories with the Fisker Karma! Still a sh*tbox though.

If you ever encounter an old cheap laptop that has an eMMC drive that is either full or failing it will behave just like you described and as shown in the video, laggy to the point of being unusable. A real SSD would probably be just fine, but those eMMC drives man are they crap. They were put into consumer grade cheap netbooks and laptops that were designed to shit themselves and become unusable in just over the warranty period so having one in a car is just asking for trouble and the manufacturers still did it! The cars software may not need much capacity, but if the drive is equally small it will have gathered an unbelievable amount of writes. And the file system it runs on is probably total crap too so over time it will just fill up to the brim as well, has no optimizations integrated into it etc.

one more thing, you just reminded me of a hard reset I did on a Ford Edge rear life gate malfunction, here’s the procedure, disconnect the 12 volt battery cables completely, negative and positive, charge the battery overnight, then disconnect the charger and reconnect the battery cables, if you can cycle the computer on and off 3 times then go for a drive and see if anything has been improved, also on the Edge I simply pull out the rear lift gate fuse F59 and it won’t go crazy anymore, thinking these car computers need to be rebooted from time to time, good luck

Hoovie, I'd wager the lack of response from the touch screen is a similar issue to one I had on Veloster Turbo I owned. The Florida sun and heat I think delaminated the capacitive touch layer of the screen or otherwise made it work less and less. Maybe the screen can be replaced. IDK. I ended up just getting rid of my Veloster. Florida is hard on cars, especially if you park outside without at least a covered car port.

I don't think the blower motor "failed again", I think the previous owner could fix it to begin with. He spent 8.5k and it was still broken so he just got rid of it lol. It looks to me like some weird software issue. But the fact that there are no authorized dealers and barely any parts at all could make fixing that extremely tough. The fix could be something like updating firmware or reflashing it - but the hardest part gonna be finding anyone who could possibly do it.

Then press the emergency light button 12 times (yes that many) 4. Then hit the gas cap release button WHILE holding the steering wheel at the “9” oclock position. 5. Then and ONLY then hit the ignition.

When you have a laggy computer...the LAST thing you should be doing is punching multiple buttons quickly in exasperation as this just guarantees that you'll get nowhere. Each input IS registered and it begins to execute that command only to be interrupted by the next input which makes it stop and start on the new command. Hit what you want....accept that it's going to take it a bit to get where you told it to go and it will!! Impatience with slow equipment just means you create more problems than actually exist.

When these were new most of the ones sold in Palm Beach County sat in service bays at the local dealership, a customer account that I visited often. Day after day, week after week I saw the same Fiskers sitting in the same bays, waiting for godot or any answer to what had sidelined them. Initially the dealer (you know who you are) was enthusiastic and hopeful for the paradigm shift these cars were part of, but each day the employees grew more doubtful about the Fisker future. Soon even the management vowed to never be so stupid as the people they had sold these things to. New cars depreciate when they are driven off the lot but most Fisker Karmas became essentially worthless after the first payment. Oh yeah, within a month or two some owners had the batteries & GM engines removed to make room for V-8 conversions.
