'It is a little disconcerting that you pay that amount of money for a car and it lasts basically 180 miles before going wrong' -- 'Fisker also has changed its CEO and halted production over the past month as it seeks to renegotiate the terms of a $529 million loan from the U.S. Dept of Energy' - 'In Dec., it recalled 239 Karmas due to a possible defect in batteries made by supplier A123 Systems that could cause a coolant fluid leak and electrical short circuit'
