  1. No one commented about the link on recalled Karma cars for the slow cooling system? Looks like Tony Posawatz (CEO that previously worked for General Motors for Chevrolet Volt, who replaced that replaced Henrik Fisker) needs to bring all his expertise in line. These cars need a lot of evaluation from the number of recalls they went through since day 1 of their launching. If only cars' cooling system will work as simple as ducted air conditioning perth...apparently not.
