$100,000 Fisker Karma Hybrid Breaks Down For Consumer Reports

While it's still early in the life cycle of electric and hybrids cars, problems like these should never exist.

Not just fragmentation of android handsets but fragmentation of concepts, technologies, and just about anything else android gets near.
