Fisker Coachbuild was not responsible for the design of the Tesla sedan. Henrik Fisker was hired to do some initial design work, and when he left Tesla he was sued for allegedly stealing trade secrets. That suit was dismissed in arbitration.

Tesla said Fisker "deliberately performed substandard design work on the Model S", so I don't see why they would retain said substandard design, or why they would allow Fisker to retain any credit for the Tesla S design.

Tesla has said that they decided not to use Fisker's designs for the original "Whitestar" sedan, and that they would start over with a new design. That change is partly responsible for the Tesla S falling months behind schedule.

Elon Musk has taken the responsibility for the design:

"Tesla has scrambled to come up with a new design with some help from Lotus, the maker of the bodies for the initial Tesla Roadster. Mr. Musk said that he was leading the effort.

“‘I’m not really a car designer,” said Mr. Musk, who was one of the founders of PayPal and started SpaceX, a developer of spacecraft. “We’ll see what people think of cars designed by me versus Fisker; it’s the amateur versus the professional.”]]>Mar 26th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/tesla-model-s-official-shots-unofficially-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/tesla-model-s-official-shots-unofficially-unveiled/

Besides, if you're going to make things so electronic, may as well create something as similar to KITT as possible.


What happens when there's a software crash?
