Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently made several comments that are critical of its fellow electric vehicle maker Fisker. When interviewed recently, Musk said that the Fisker Karma is very expensive but is a “mediocre product.” He also said that the electric sedan appears to be “very big” but it doesn’t have trunk space and its interior space is small, specifically in the rear seats. On the other hand, Tesla has gotten numerous positive publicity and reviews when it launched the new Model S. Fisker is nowhere near what Tesla has accomplished. Musk said that Henrik Fisker’s problem lies with the fact that he is a designer or stylist and so he is focused on its appearance. However, Musk thinks that the issue is “technology.” Musk said that the electric car has to look the part but then, it has to go beyond that. [source: AutomobileMag]
