2024 Fisker Ocean Is Really Quirky, But a Cool Electric SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- The 2024 Fisker Ocean EV is a quirky, stylish and promising EV SUV with some legitimately good ideas. The California-based startup sold its first U.S.spec Ocean's in late 2023. It offers handsome design, novel features, and an impressive driving range. Its called the Ocean because of the recycled plastics from the ocean.
The Sport model, which features a single electric motor powering the front wheels. With 275 horsepower on tap, it's expected to go from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. The Ultra, Force E, and Extreme models have an electric motor on each axle that creates all-wheel drive. The quickest version is estimated to sprint from a stop to pull 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a peak output of 564 horsepower with 543 pound-feet of torque.
We test drive the Extreme and check out all of the unique features including the a "Hyper" drive mode, and the brand's much-ballyhooed California Mode, which drops the side and rear windows and opens the sunroof with the touch of a single button.
Prices range from $38,000 - $61,000 and is eligible for tax credits.

Nice piece, finally a professional reviewer on a fisker ocean.
Thank you
I’ve seen them on the road recently. I think they are well designed. Didn’t know EV’s can look this good. Hope the company best of luck.
The company will be bankrupt soon because its run by a conman
Agreed! Too many years of Prius and Kias have conditioned us to expect the worst in automotive design aesthetics!
It's a pretty stunning car for an suv. Sporty with some really unique features. Best new car!
I love mine!
Wow, that car is stunning.
I own a 23 Tesla Model X Plaid and a Fisker Ocean One. As a pure driving vehicle, the Fisker wins hands down. Comfort, ride, practicality. Perfect daily driver.
Keep in mind though, the Fisker is still in the early adopter phase. In Hollywood mode, (when screen swivels landscape) entertainment options are better than Tesla (minus the video games -not a gamer myself-).
Some things still need tweaking in the vehicle though, and some things just need to flat out be added with over the air updates (hill hold assist, dynamic cruise control, etc), which have already started coming through.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Much appreciated
you feeling okay bro?
@@erwinlingg6936 I rode in a Tesla Y a couple of days after after I took delivery of my Ocean One. I didn't drive the Tesla, but the Fisker is far quieter and the ride is far smoother.
Great positivity for Fisker in your video. It's an impressive car.
I wanted a solar + EV: Aptera is a two person car currently, Fisker Ocean have room for all my family members using sustainable materials and have solar so thank you for putting this car on my think about-it-list. The 2024 Kona EV have leatherette (animal products,) so many choices for EVs 😊
What are you talking about? Aptera is dead. The "new builder" is a scam artist. Leatherette is made from natural or synthetic cloth fibers coated in PVC or polyurethane and contains no animal by-products. You are full of sh.t.
Until Aptrera puts a vehicle on the road there’s no reason to mention them. This company is at least producing
I wish Fisker Inc. the best since they have room for improvements 🤓
Nice review...you mentioned there is a glove box...there is not. Instead they have storage areas underneath the seats in the Extreme model. Also you mentioned that it was made in CA. It's actually made in Graz, Austria at the Magna Steyr factory where they also make Mercedes-Benz G class, Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace, BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra.
Also she used the sport trim 0 to 60 time of 6.9 seconds
You say potato I say patato ! Honestly so the glove box is below the seat 💺
She said designed in California
Saw a Karma sedan today. Beautiful.
I start to like this car :) Thanks
Great review.
Really like it my only concerns are 1: concerns over the company’s longevity and 2: price point here in the Uk is lot higher at 60k plus uk pounds for AWD models.
The matte look is 🧑🍳😘
AWESOME CAR AND REVIEW!! Do you still do the other channel with the HIS/HER review?
looks amazing
FSR .. Fisker. Have seen numerous Ocean EV videos and yours shows more features of the vehicle. Great Thumbs Up video / comments.. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding review 🌟
I’ve watched tons of them, this one was tops!!
I have had an Ocean Sport in Mariana ordered since 8/22…. Received my VIN # last week.
Would be nice if they add Tidal in addition to Spotify.
Sirius XM would be awesome. I have had it for 16 years and love channels. TunedIn is bush league by comparison and because it is cell enabled and not satellite, it frequently drops signal or buffers.
Question: If you order it online, where do you go to get the brakes fixed or replace those specialty tires?
You just drive it into the Ocean.
Evs are to Complex and expensive for the average consumer, gone Would be the days of D.I.Y still prefer my ICE Vehicle, but not bad for an EV, great review
EVs are best as looked at as a rolling computer. My iPhone is complex. I probably use 10% of its full capability and I am tech savy.
EVs are actually more simple than gas cars and somehow people never complain about how expensive ridiculously inefficient pick up trucks are-which so many people unnecessarily have.
Hi great vid, I’m from England and just wanted to know how big is the boot in litre please thanks
Oh boy, I would have to do a conversion. They always give it to us in cubic feet. If you go onto your favorite browser, you can convert cubic feet to liters very easily. I don’t believe they’re selling this vehicle in England just yet, but you will probably see it in the future.
@@CarCoachReports thanks and they have just started selling the Fisker here, there is a lounge shop in London.
@@woody1569Yes I even think they have a Fisker Center in Milton Keynes.
@@woody1569is their really I didn't know that I am in Scotland
Very nice design and size......😄 center screen seems typical to most EVs, they could have thought of a unique way to incorporated in the dash. Great first attempt though.
Yes I agree
Tbf a lot of those early complaints are things I had with Rivian and they’re killing it now. Third party registration was fine also in pandemic times. I’m sure anecdotally this could be different but yeah i think the self fulfilling prophecy of people scared to support them is rough. They have a lot of people waiting to see how they do and not enough hype. They should focus on fixing the easy wins.
The car was NOT built in California, contrary to your statement at 3:35. It's built by Magna-Steyr in Graz, Austria.
What the heck is a "All Season" Tire? As someone from Europe, that sounds weird.
Like I said 2 months ago - the BK is swirling. Again.
Interesting
I feel that the narrative is changing with Fisker: As more and more people are taking ownership of their car people are realising just how good the car is. I see it being a best seller in 2024.
BTW The Fisker Ocean Sport is around 38,000 dollars which is very reasonable for an EV.
The top of the Range Extreme is 61,499 dollars
Don't get hopes too high they are very expensive, he has delivery fees about $3k alone as most others are less than half that
I agree that they are very expensive. I really love this car, though. It'd take me a long time to save up the money for it.
All of Henrik’s cars have been beautiful, well-made, etc. And yet he keeps going bankrupt.
Lucid is in trouble. Rivian barely hanging on. Little chance these make it. Then who supports it?
@@f.kieranfinney457"A winner is just a loser that tried one more time."
@@martinmcnulty8155 insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
May I know what will be the cost of battery and DUs, when time come to replace? I see Tesla has better warranty. I am not sure if 10 years warranty covers battery.
Looks nice, but at almost 70k, not many people could even consider it
Starting trim is between 30 and 40k to my understanding.
The demo vehicle shown is a launch edition. No longer being made. The comparable Extreme trim starts at $61k or the Sport trim starts at $39k
Correct
@@MaxxCodesgood luck finding one at that price
I ordered my second one for 39k
Look at their stock price.....
Competitors? The key is a few things: charging and charging network, active and passive safety, OTA updates, future proof issues, autonomy. EV reviews really need to prioritize these key factors which are what owners who haven't had an EV learn they should have considered instead of looks, doo dads, feelz and niftyness.
I feel Fisker scores high in all of those fields: Regular OTA upgrades are slowly turning the Ocean into a very impressive vehicle. For the charging network Fisker has signed a deal to use the Tesla charging network starting in 2025.
@@martinmcnulty8155 It's completely unknown on these issues.
@@martinmcnulty8155 and now they are bankrupt. Told ya...
Maybe it's just as cool as you say. But where are you gonna get it serviced conveniently.
I think these obscure companies need to tie up with some of the majors ( tough to do nfortunately) so that they have a presence in a credible dealership even though they are all crooks.
Isn't Fisker doing the whole mobile servicing at your place. EVs have minimal actual servicing. Like most is over air firmware updates. Tire changes which any 3rd party shop could. I guess the regional service center, will handle actual serious recalls or repairs. yeah that wouldn't be fun or cheap to get too.
They are adding technicians and service centers on every state.
Dealerships will do the service.
I’ve had my tech come to my house 2x already. First was to check on a few pieces damaged during delivery, the second time was to replace 1 faulty seatbelt tensioner and to update my software. That could have been performed OTA but since he was at my house already, he offered to install it. Super happy with my mobile Master Tech here in the PNW!
every electric car is "quirky"
Rockstar help putting graphics in cars now 😅.
Wonder how high the insurance is .
It's less than my '23 Tesla Model X Plaid.
Through USAA, I'm paying $126/month. Certainly not cheap, but less than what I expected.
Much less than my Tesla.
My quote was a normal premium.
'No lumbar support...' that's a no then !
Did you have to promise not to drive the Ocean at speed on curving roads, and not to take it anywhere that an SUV should be able to go, like a dirt road? I as because we are six months in on deliveries, about twenty posted "reviews" in too, not a second of the Ocean driving except on a straight paved road.
If you were in the market for an EV. Would you buy this or do you think you would wait for the Porsche Macan Turbo EV. Of course the Porsche will more than likely be at least 10-15 grand more depending on how you spec. I need a new car soon! But I can wait for the Macan EV, if it hits dealerships in the first quarter of 2024 as expected. I know obviously you haven't had a chance to drive the Macan EV. But just wondering based on your impressions of the ocean. Would you wait to test drive the Porsche or just go straight for the Ocean. Thanks in advance. Anyone else who sees this comment, please feel free to weigh in. I would also appreciate your feedback. P.s. I know there are a lot of other great choices, but I'm only choosing between these two.
Get an KIA EV9 dude, Porsche is out of your league. Also you can swap the KIA out easily as it's so cheap.
A Porsche would just be too expensive for me.
@@Flying-Fox-of-Snowy-Mountain oh! I didn't know we shared a bank account. But thanks for the heads up!!! You gotta love social media
I own the Fisker Ocean and luv it. I've owned other German cars previous to the Ocean... The ride quality of the Fisker is better IMO. Steering is tight, very solid feeling with a low center of gravity, feels athletic and fast. Also, luv the unique design characteristics. Fisker is routinely setting up test drives throughout the U.S. I would take a look at their website to see if you can drive one.
@@vincee.4753 Thank you so much! I really appreciate the genuine feed back. Congrats on your new Ocean.
Great car for a multi millionaire until something breaks. The car then gets moved into the back of the garage to collect household junk until it is sold at a garage sale along with the rest of the junk that it collected as is sat idle. :)
How long before he goes broke for a third time?
D O A
I love to eat in the car, so the tray is going to be wonderful. Any idiot that puts the tray in the way of the steering wheel, shouldn't be driving. As for storage, near none of the EV's have any appreciable storage. Seems like a SUV type car with folding down seats solve that problem. I am not sure how they are going to put in roof racks but that would give you more storage for traveling. Then again, what are we really talking about with storage? Suitcases for that two or three vacations a year? Rent an Expedition. lol
Many of the items and things that you say are incorrect. You should really get your facts straight. For instance, there is no glove box in the front.
Low range a bit disappointing
hmm FWD 2,040 lbs of towing capacity vs AWD 4,000 lbs. Very cool looking and designed well car. Wish these reviewers would show charge port and charge information, not just EV range. searching for info I see the Ocean AWD has 113-kWh battery with maximum DC Charge Rate - up to 200kW, J1772 plug. which kinda bites as everything is switching to Tesla NACS. The real pain with EVs if not just using from home garage to around town, is road tripping and dealing with EV charging stations. While most places within 50-100 miles of freeway & town, there now is some type of charge place. If isn't Tesla charging, then its nightmare of blocked, broken, or slow chargers. Each needing their own app and sometimes a converter plug. EVs aren't equal in slow and fast charging. Car software helps or hurts with locating and preparing to charge. Understanding the car's battery type, what temp ranges it needs for optimal fast level 2 or 3 charging. The car's battery's "charge curve" for optimal time for x range. Trying to charge over 60-80% is so much slower and even much slower to 100% is real EV education majority know nothing about. The solar panel is neat concept as ideally could give 1-4 miles of range a day in good sunshine, which could have minimum use camping. Not really much in getting the car to drive anywhere. I guess if you left the Ocean at the outside airport parking for most of week at low battery, you get back with enough to find a possible near by charge site. Better then not having anything. hmm. At $60-70kish that seems a toy for the very well off rich.
Fisker has announced that they are switching to the NACS plug. Given that Henriq does not see eye to eye with Elon, he is putting his customers first; even though technically NACS is technically managed by SAE now.
Canada retails for $45k base model if you can order one that is.
@@Flying-Fox-of-Snowy-Mountain I'm in Ohio, their site only has dozen so top end "Fisker Ocean Extreme" or "Fisker Ocean One (Launch Edition)" most in Georgia all for $67-72,000 USD. It's certainly a neat looking. My biggest concern would be charging. CCS eh. Everything switch to Tesla NACS(SAE J3400) plug. Telsa fast charging is the only valid almost always working(over 99% uptime). I wondering if Fisker will switch to NACS, as almost every other company has. image it will take year or two before they have autos with that plug. I guess they are.
They are sending nacs attachment to current owners as well. This is already announced. I ordered my second fisker for 39k.
@@FSGallipoli Second one? Damn some ppl haven't even got their first EV or new car in 10 years. You a doctor, lawyer, dentist?
🌲🎄🤶☃️☝️
🎅🏻😊👋🏼🇺🇸
Yes it’s a beautiful design but Fisker is 1 billion in debt and barely surviving. They have no service center and software is way behind other manufactures. Looks isn’t everything. Don’t fall for them beauty and options it offers. It’s the support and backbone of the company that’s important. That’s why no one is buying this car. Tons in inventory and on the used market.
Gimmicks. Design has lackluster depth. Who designs a fold down cup holder with a screen next to it? Spills anyone?
Can you explain two contradictions here? First, when exploring the interior early in the video, you point out that the car does not have separate head rests. Yet when you're driving the car it clearly has separate head rests. Second, again when exploring the interior, you comment that it has "tons" of storage. Yet in the pros and cons at the end, you say you wish it had more storage. Which is it?
He already went broke doing this once before - the Karma.
The Karma was a luxury car. This is a people's car. Customers just love it.
@@martinmcnulty8155spoken like a true salesman. Good luck in your endeavors.
@@jamesh1641 I am not in any way a salesman and am not paid by Fisker.
I'm just a fan of the car: The design and the performance. If people reading this don't believe what I write they can simply do a test drive in a Fisker and decide for themselves.
And your point is exactly!?
@@TheEVGuy-rx9juhe went broke once already doing this so what’s your point?
Who would buy this …they had article on how bad they are…
Lots of paid trolls by Elon himself writes fud articles. You just watched the review. Also watch actual owners videos here in youtube from individuals aa well. I personally like my Fisker more than my tesla right now.
I would! Wait, I did!
Me, and i friggin love it. It was worth the near 2 years since i made my deposit and each software update makes the car that much better and reliable. I can’t wait until the remainder of bugs are eliminated in subsequent OTA’s.
Meanwhile, its the most unique looking EV on the road that draws compliments everywhere i take it.
Lol until it depreciates to $0 and your screwed…
That "California experience" package = badly maintained roads full of potholes and living in fear of getting your car broken into. A real plus Mr. Fisker.
Just criticize to criticize..
U must live in the ghetto 😂
the matte paint , must be a throw back to 2009 edition . i like to watch dudes walk out of starbucks clinching their i phones wearing yoga tights under gym shorts . and literally press the panic button on their tesla remote . just to see wich of the 10 murdered out teslas on the lot is theirs .
YOURE WELCOME .
You have a whole bunch of suppressed issues, don’t you?🙄
Yes to Lauren, but NO to EV's......😡
Why are you watching, stupid?
It is still a bug fest and is functional and logical limited as hell!!!
Wow. Another electric car I would never buy....lol
I own both Tesla and Fisker now. Fisker is definitely better and my preferred ride right now.
@@FSGallipoli why?
@BlackDeath12345 material, look, drivebality, comfort, handling, better steering, components, attention to detail and user friendly details, ease of steering ( comes with handling), my tesla feels like VW now, it is built for mass production, rush to produce and public car with cheap interior and exterior. It is like VW vs Mercedes E class or BMW as interior and outside design and feel of materials. Accelaration about the same but with Fisker driving is much more fun. I had software problems with Tesla as well in the past, so it is always a working process, after Fisker's OTA I believe that the company is making necessary improvements as well. I should thank probably Magna for it. When you build G-wagon etc. I think you know one or two things about demanding customers and quality.
I have to admit it does have some very nice convenience features such as the one button up/down windows. And its the only EV so far where you can actually still open the sunroof, and its a wide opening too.
Pros:
panoramic sunroof that actually opens really wide
One touch down/up windows
Cons:
Material are extremely cheap looking plastics
The Logo should go on the grill, or the front, not the hood
Hate the name on the roof and the ugly industrial revealed strips.
Seats are really ugly. Nobody wants designer seats in their car -- its not a museum. People need comfortable ergonomic seats in a car.
The infotainment display is overwhelming
No mention of a fronk or range.
No frunk, hood is bolted.
The interior is far far more plush than a Tesla (been in many). My Ocean interior is extremely comfortable, i have the same color combo as this demo vehicle and it is tasteful,quiet as can be, super comfortable on 200 mile 1 way drives and easy to clean.
The ergonomics of the seat and steering wheel/cockpit are great- you dont need a bunch of chrome trim or gaudy colors and badges like other domestic OEM EV offerings.
You know the second you sit in it that the car was designed by a “car guy” and not some committee that never had a car poster on their bedroom wall growing up.
Range is a little low on mine but as i just took delivery and car is not broken in, nor have i learned the best way to maximize my efficiency yet, I fully expect it to improve. Also, temps have been in the low/mid 30’s here on most of my drives so that knocks it back, but i can reasonably say that with a little less “pedal mashing” on the highway, i can easily expect 300+ miles on a road trip as i am trending up each successive trip i take.
Check resale before buying any EV !!! Drop like stone . LEASE ONLY most the EVs will go broke and so will Ford
Sage advice.
Horse carriage owners used to say the same thing for ICE vehicles. And now ICE owners to EV. My horse lives 30 years, your car will be rust ball 😂
Why would you lease a car with very little maintenance and is expected to last between 300k-500k miles.
I’m sure you’re right Caesar but - f*ck it! I’m ALL in and loving it!!
Caesar is obviously not good with money.
THERE ARE NO FISKERS FOR SALE!!!!!!!
I have sport on order, but will see if i will go ahead with order when time comes, or just cancel, there are some high fees on this car especially delivery fee about $3k and range is a bit disappointing for sport about 230 miles now from already low 250 mikes originally. Car is almost $47k, in base trim without any options,
What to do then is buy a Tesla and you can have the same car as everyone else.
