Fisker Inc. is facing delays delivering its debut electric SUV to customers because of software integration problems, people familiar with the matter said.
The EV startup has more testing and troubleshooting to do with its Ocean sport utility vehicle, according to two people who asked not to be named because the company hasn’t disclosed the information. The software is currently prone to glitches, the people said, estimating the issues could take months to iron out. As a result, they said some vehicles are only using a more basic software that limits their speed.
