    Please don't do business with Better help. They were fined for selling people's private health information to social media companies. They are scum.

    Tried contacting you on multiple platforms. Im a certified tech for these cars and know pretty much everything about it. It's pretty easy to fix all your issues. Theboil leak may be a rear main seal. The motor unplugged is not what you were told. The issue with the touchscreen not selecting the blower motor is the hvac control module, but you still may have a blower motor issue. As for a missing under pannel, its not missing. Nothing should be there. The wheel shake is caused by the bushings, very common issue.

    Better Help doesn't tell you how expensive it is until the payment process. I'm disabled and live on a very low fixed income. I can't afford it out of pocket, and it isn't covered by heath insurance. The FTC also filed a lawsuit against them for selling people's private medical information. I suggest you drop them as a sponsor.

    Being scammed is how you make your living.
  • @ryanpangle
    Weird. You got scammed. Again for the 75th time.

    all I have learned from watching youtubers is that bring a trailer is a dumping ground for broken garbage that they wont tell you about

    There’s a company called Karma Automotive in Moreno Valley, California that bought all of the Fisker assets. They reassembled the assembly line and built the Karma Revero which was essentially the Fisker Karma with a new name. They updated some of the electronics and offered services to Fisker Karma owners to have software updated to eliminate the harsh lag on the touchscreen. I don’t know if they are still in business but they may be able to help with the lag issue. Also I was told that suspension was built to pass crash tests and was purposely built to be overkill because Henrik had government loans granted to him and had limited time to get the car built and he wanted to make sure it was beefed up so it would pass crash testing. Henrik was planning on eventually reducing the weight but the company went bankrupt before that happened. The company I work for sent me to the Karma plant in Moreno Valley to help get their assembly line up and running and I was able to drive one of those. It’s a weird car because it’s huge on the outside but very small on the inside.

    Hoovie pretending to feel sorry for the new Fisker like he isn’t planning to buy the first Fisker Ocean he sees for less than 20k 😬
  • @Kalepsis
    You definitely need to report that seller to Bringatrailer so they can perma-ban him from selling anything on their site ever again. Scammers like that give their site a bad rep.
  • I just did a blower motor on a Fisker Karma a few weeks ago... We were able to get a C6 Corvette blower motor for $150 at a local auto parts store, and it was a Continential that matched the original perfectly! I was able to get it replaced in about 1.5 hours of time upside down under the dash.... Enjoy!

    A blower motor out of a Corvette is the same one Fisker uses in your car. You also don't have to pull the dash out you can get to it from behind the glovebox. Water is pouring in around the cabin filter door but you can seal it up and stop the leak and it wont short out again. The motor should be less than $250.
  • @KS-xo3oh
    That owners got some bad Karma coming their way after ditching this bad Karma.
  • @2WhiteAndNerdy
    Whenever the seller just so happens to be "out of the country" on a "business trip," DO NOT BUY!!!
  • @DoctorHemi
    If you were driving all highway, it doesn't surprise me that it didn't make the advertised range. My 2017 Chevy Volt was the same way. The advertised all-electric range was 53 miles and for in-town driving, I'd gotten over 70 at times, but on the highway, the range dropped to mid-to-low-40s (for 75-80 mph). EVs are exactly opposite of gas cars in that regard. Because of the brake/coast regeneration, your city "mileage" is significantly better than highway.
  • @BlakesCars2
    “C7 corvette light controls” that’s a weird way of saying your Fisker has Pontiac g6 light controls 🤣
  • @toofast0253
    hey, Hoovie, check the outside temperature sensor. I had a BMW that showed the outside temperature as zero degrees so the computer wouldn't let the AC come on. Turns out the outside temperature sensor (located under the front bumper) had been damaged. Fixed it for $100.

    I found an old forum post about someone bitching about a dealer in Toronto Canada charging 4 grand to replace a bad blower motor. the poster then had a dialog with fiskarphilly and said that the car was going from Canada to Florida. this was in 2017 another post on the same thread said the blower motor was the same as a Corvette one and cost them 225 bucks to replace.
