They look amazing. The Meatpacking District just got cooler. I could hear the excitement in Dave's voice and predict he'll be in one of these sooner rather than later, lol.
An Ocean passed me on the highway recently. It's a beautiful EV.
Have had my Fisker Ocean One (FOO) nearly two months and I am still looking every day for excuses to drive somewhere; one of the nicest driving cars I’ve owned or driven over five decades. For a brand new brand and brand new car you won’t be disappointed driving the Ocean.
These are gorgeous cars with some really cool features. Seems like a winner. Its good to have some more pure EV options.
Hey Dave. Nice video and a fair review. I'm actually picking up my Fisker Ocean Extreme on 19-Dec in Manville NJ. Let me know if you want to connect to test drive it. I'm looking forward to it. One note, while you can't get the $7,500 tax credit since the Inflation Reduction Act was approved, those of us who transferred our deposit to a "transaction" are still eligible under the old rules. Anyway, love watching the videos you, Kyle, the Out of Spec crew, and even Tom at State of Charge put out. Being this is my first EV, I've learned a lot from all of you. Thanks.
How the fisher. Did you roadtrip it yet? What’s the charging curve like
@@sahibharika8 hey. Other than the software updates needed I still like the ride. As for road trip, I did not yet. However, I am this weekend. I can let you know if you want.
This is a beautifully designed car. Really like the satin finish on the paint. A real head turner.
If these guys can ramp up staffing, keep delivering cars and beef up their UI/software they WILL flourish.
You have the best info on the Fisker I have yet seen anywhere. Very well-done Dave. I must say the Ocean is really a great looking vehicle and looks better than most any other SUV types. I love the front driver screen and interior and truly excited for this new vehicle. No tax credit benefits with these in America and it is a little too pricy for me personally, however, as could only consider the lowest trim if slightly reduced further down the line. For a new company however, these appear to be very impressive and much better than America's domestic ICE vehicle competition.
The FISKER is so nice!. Love the different Blue colors available. That white on white with the black wheels looks cool.
Great tour! Thanks Dave!
Solidly built car. I plan on purchasing a Sport model in 2024.
Thanks for the info!!! Doing a practice dry run may have helped on understanding the options.
Thanks Dave, very informative. Looking forward to your possible test review if they can accommodate you.
thanks for this information
Fisher is a world class auto designer. I hope he has success in manufacturing his line of cars. He has a great company building them.
That's all he is. He has no idea about software or manufacturing. He has a history of bankruptcies and still people are stupid enough to give him money. 🤦♀️
Features that truly distinguish the car from the rest of the pack (SolarSky: Panoramic sunroof that can add additional range, bi-directional charger: California mode etc.) what else sets it apart?
Awesome!
I really hope Fisker succeeds. There’s a lot to like about this car. Personally, I don’t think it has enough luggage space. 😕 I also wish the drive line was more rear biased, and that the battery was smaller(!) to make the car lighter. Lastly, I’m not a big fan of the added complexity/weight/cost of the solar roof - and the UI seems a bit sluggish..
If they don't fix their software, word of mouth will kill their sales like it did for Lucid.
I had a test drive of an Extreme version in Glasgow Scotland on Thursday and was really impressed with the ride on our potholed streets here. 22” wheels on coil springs isn’t usually great for a soft ride but I reckon it’s as good as any airsprung car. I just wish they would stop saying it’s an SUV, it’s not my 2023 Defender is an SUV, this is what we call an estate car in the UK and what you call a station wagon. It doesn’t have an elevated driving position as you are at the same height as all the other cars on the road. U fortunately the rain was coming down in stair rods and the traffic was dire in the city so I never got above about 25mph for my 40 minute drive. The build quality and the quality of the trim/ fittings is excellent, pity that it has come to the market with too many driver aids to “be added later by OTA updates”
Thank you, so sick of automotive “journalists” calling a car with five inches of ground clearance an “SUV.” Lots of sports cars have more ground clearance. If they don’t know when a car is a station wagon, what do they know about cars? Also, ADAS is hard, and Fisker is not tech savvy and hired his team of programmers, who could not find jobs in an environment where automakers are desperately hiring software engineers, in a rush. Super unlikely they can ever make a working ADAS. There is a reason most legacy automakers go to MobilEye or others for ADAS.
it's compact SUV, just like BMW x1/x3 or Audi Q3/Q5...Defender it's on the offroad side a bit. Many kinds of vehicles, you just need to keep up! cheers!😅
@@madalincosma2531zero videos of anyone even taking an Ocean on a dirt road, likely because people do not want to have to call for a tow truck. Five inches of clearance is less than a good number of sports cars have. A very heavy vehicle with cushy suspension and just five inches of clearance...keep that sucker on newly paved roads only if you want to make it anywhere.
@tribalypredisposed bmw ix1 has it at 17cm, ix3 at 17.9cm, ocean has it at 18cm with 22" tires.
All are lower than ICE equivalent, but not that low. Reality is that if it sits too high the car range is even worse. An electric Defender would have enough range to reach the... gas station 🤣
@@madalincosma2531 Reality is that an SUV or "crossover" should have more ground clearance. The Model S has five inches of ground clearance, it is a sedan. Model X has 6.6 inches of ground clearance or more, and the version with just 6.6 inches has been panned by many reviewers for being lacking in the off road department. Similarly, an author wrote about the Y: "...the Tesla Model Y’s ground clearance is only 6.6 inches and thus does not have enough support to deal with any tricky terrain or anything with a slight unevenness."
I would not call anything with less than eight inches of ground clearance an SUV. Some Model X have adjustable clearance and the Performance has nine inches, those are SUVs. Calling a car with five inches of ground clearance an SUV is just factually wrong, regardless of why they decided to do that. Tesla gave their "SUV" models too little ground clearance too, but at least they have more clearance than the Tesla sedans.
Subaru really created this category with their Outback, which has 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Because they intend for you to be able to go off on some bad dirt roads and make it.
Nice job! My Ocean Sport in Mariana is on order and I just received the VIN # from Fisker….I’m thinking two or three months I’ll be driving my first EV!
Drove the car in Montréal, its was magnifique!
Very nimble for it size and so much comfy compare to it peers.
Best new car by far!
Beautiful car.
Awesome vehicle. 👍
Beautiful car!
Ordered one last week.
This Fisker Ocean looks like a very tastefully designed compromise between American design in EVs from Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, European design in EVs from BMW, a pinch of MB, Audi, some Korean trends like in Genesis EV, and a whole bunch of high appeal Chinese trends like in Volvo, Xpeng, NIO.
The rotating screen is a must in Chinese high tech EVs which is nice.
In Chinese EVs the bleeding edge technology is a must. Looks like customers who bought the car mostly complain about software issues.
If the company survives I would like to own one of these ONE trimmed Fisker Ocean.
I would buy it for the sunroof alone, but I need to know they won't go out of business first.
Odd reason when there are question marks over it's ability but I agree re the longevity of the brand given this is Henrik's third attempt
Dave, love the video, does Fisker EV'S have a heat pump?
Here in Regina Saskatchewan, Canada, for me that's important, temperatures do, at times fall into the -40's in the winter.
The Extreme and Ultra trims have heat pumps. The base Sport trim does not.
I believe Dave mentioned in the video the option of a heat pump saying it is useful in Connecticut.
The 20s look great if you take the hubcaps off.
Cool Dave. As usual
Better build than any Tesla.. buy Magna Steyr in Austria.
Reminds me of an old surfer car
It looks like a Range Rover evoque
Its the best looking EV by far however, there are some glaring mistakes such as the none control of the rear window drop without having all other windows dropped at the same time. No android auto/car play with a hint you may get this feature OTA at some point, i want a guarantee of that. There are question marks over the solar roof and whether it does actually add charge to the battery. In the uk we are being told a 440 mile range WLTP ... This states 360, big difference. Quite a few early adopters have dropped out of taking their cars due to concerns over longevity of the brand, this is Fiskers third attempt, price drops even after some have taken delivery of their cars with a promise of free updates to chips etc. Henrik has penned some beautiful cars over the years, the Aston Martin Vantage (2005 onward) which has to go down as one of the most timeless designs ever, so i hope this time his venture works. I will wait for my time with the Ocean though.
#FSR
Give me a Nio ET5 or ES8 right now!
Longgggggggg way to profit if you are an investor.
There is talk of them already making a profit in 2024. That is a lot better than companies like Rivian or Lucid.
@@martinmcnulty8155 highly doubt that. Maybe 5 to 10 years from now. Stock is doing horrible.
Let's hope it's not I.D.4 vibes when it comes to Software.
No they have solved the software bugs.
I'd be more worried about the stock price. Lost 85% and now a penny share. Not good.
So weird, i preordered one but haven’t heard much media hype around them
If any of their models are below the One model, then they must be either Zero or some negative number.
worst location for charge port, tesla version 3. cable will never reach, with magic dock , i also think proper location for any ev is is middle front, much easier to pull straight between cars and back out, to open area
I think I'd go for the Volvo EX30 over the Ocean. BTW you (and other presenters) use the term "Mac Daddy" to describe a thing. What does that really mean? I looked up the definitions for "Mac Daddy" it describes "a pimp, or a virile man ..." I'm not sure how it applies to a car 😮
I assume it references the fact that the pimps of the era when that term was current slang preferred Cadillacs that were big heavy poorly engineered cars that had cushy rides but handled like a boat. If so, then it makes sense. Otherwise, no one is going to admire your style when you roll up in your obese Fisker station wagon.
I guess you like the fact that the Volvo EV30 gets a maximum range of 275 miles of driving per charge instead of the Ocean with 360 miles of driving per charge. Makes sense - NOT.
@@gregoryalee2457 or maybe they prefer to buy from a company not going bankrupt sometime next year? That makes a lot of sense.
@@tribalypredisposed - Love how you deflect responding to the few miles a Volvo EX30 gets per charge. Maybe you are predisposed to ignoring glaring ignorant posts you make? As for bankruptcy, perhaps you haven't seen all the new Fisker facilities going in all over the world. Sounds like a company faltering.
@@gregoryalee2457 I have not made any glaring ignorant posts. I suggested one reason a rational car buyer would prefer the Volvo, as they stated they did. Yes, Fisker madly expanding deliveries to more and more countries like no other automotive startup has before…as you are clearly new here I will explain the problem.
If Fisker had good levels of demand for the Ocean they would just deliver to America, Austria, Germany, and maybe Norway, nations that buy lots of EVs. This costs less than setting up in a whole bunch of countries, and Fisker is so low on cash they reduced their production estimate recently stating they needed to preserve capital. So obviously it was not how flush with cash Fisker was, the reason they started deliveries at lightning speed all over the place was low demand. Likely part of the low demand was Fisker’s inability to finish their software resulting in their not wanting to let reviewers drive their car, and then bad economy to introduce an expensive station wagon into, and also station wagons are the least popular form factor for cars.
Anyways, Fisker is trying to show a continual ramp up in production and sales so the stock market likes them, but they are losing money fast and increasing deliveries will increase their losses. Buyers obsessed with range who don’t want a Tesla can now buy a Lucid instead of an Ocean and get a far superior car for $75,000, and Lucid will not go bankrupt as they are majority owned by the Saudis.
Anyways, Fisker will die their well deserved inevitable death of a scam that paid Henrik way too well. Meanwhile Geely, who own Volvo, will still be around. The Volvo has less range, yeah, but also a fully working UI with ADAS, and plenty of range the vast majority of the time. Maybe the Fisker would be a bit faster on a road trip, most people rarely take long road trips in their cars anyway, and road trips are when we use ADAS features the Fisker lacks.
No question i also would go with the Volvo if picking between the two like the OP.
Most of the software may never come govern the company’s financial woes. And their customer service *lack of communications) has really hurt their credibility. But hope they survive.
Love it: "--negative comment--, --other negative comment--, but I hope that they survive."
Looks horrendous and not well thought out. The center screen graphics looks like my old Motorola.
I also like the design….except the company’s logo. It’s terrible haha
I’m tired of SUVs. When will we have a Fisker sedan?
Now, or at least a station wagon right now. The Fisker Ocean has just five inches of ground clearance, it is as far from actually being an SUV as a Porsche 911 is. You would not want to try to take the Ocean on any but the best dirt roads, and be very careful about speed bumps and potholes.
Don't think sedans are all that trendy ATM. The only company that seems to build sedans is Tesla but they call them SUVs to try to look cool.
@@martinmcnulty8155 Maybe I’m using wrong terminology, but consider m3 & mS both in sedan family. Some may identify mS as a hatchback sedan as it doesn’t have the lines of a suv, station wagon, or cross-over.
@@johnpoldo8817 The M3 is a Coupe that's what Lucid had with the Air. Not a huge success. I prefer hatchbacks and coupes too but that's not what is selling.
@@martinmcnulty8155 Thanks for explanation. Historically, we bought and will continue to only buy coupes, hatchbacks, and sedans such as m3, mS, Lucid GT, EQS sedan, and similar. It narrows avaialble EV models for us.
Fisker’s finances are too precarious for my taste. Their lack of servicing infrastructure is just nuts. Nope!
It’s built by Magna Steyr, Building G Wagons and BMWs among others. At one point I owned both a BMW and Saab that were built at their Austria plant!
So is Fisker static? In other words cannot beef up their infrastructure? Short slightness on your part.
In production for over a year, and you cannot do a review that includes driving the car?
They have been in production for around 6 months...
If you are going to be critical at least get your facts right.
Actually, according to Henrik Fisker, start of production was November 17, 2022.
@@flammickIt's great to be in presence of people who know so much about the brand.
Ok so let me put it like this: How many cars did Fisker produce between the 22.11.2022 and 01.06.2023?
@@martinmcnulty8155you’re welcome. Just helping you get your facts right.
@@flammickYou didn't answer my question: How many cars did Fisker produce between 22.11.2022 and 01.06.2023?
I have had the FOO for 8 weeks. It was dead in my driveway for 9 days with no customer service. After they replaced the 12V I have had ADAS, camera, AEB, sensor and about 4 other warnings or errors every second drive. Multiple tickets opened with no ETA on when anything will be fixed. The "solar roof" is a joke. It produces nothing currently but will be fixed in a software update. Oh wait, they stopped doing OTA updates because of bugs. Outside looks good but everything else is just poorly designed or cheap. I have gone through 6 batteries in my key fob. Who messes up key fobs? Also the estimated range is not even close to 360. I was at 255 in earth mode and not driving heavy -footed. This was the worst purchase I have ever made.
You should sell your car and not troll here.
@@gregoryalee2457 I would love to sell it but the warning lights make that impossible. Also, for people who are looking at getting this car, I am not the only one with this experience. Just look at the forums. Potential customers should not think everything is sunshine and lollypops. I want Fisker to succeed so I am not out 70K, but it really just launched prior to being ready.
you talk too much. talk less show more of the vehicle.
They needed to wait another six months to a year to iron out the bugs. Instead they almost destroyed the name fisker again. It has great bones. But was rushed and they are paying for that now. Fisker is gone in 5 years.
They have already solved most of the software problems. If they last 5 years they are definitely going to be a success.
I have the car and they haven't fixed anything. I get errors everyday and CS is the worst. They even messed up the keyfob.
@@gimmeroc7172 I doubt you do have the car... That they haven't fixed anything is a lie. They might not have fixed everything yet that is possible.
You obviously have an axe to grind. OTA software updates have resolved initial issues. Most owners are extremely happy with their purchase.
@@BartSantello No axe to grind at all. Spending 70K on a car that has six different ADAS errors just about every day with no ETA's for fixes is exactly what I should have expected. And Fisker can't confirm what version of their "software that will fix everything" I am running.
Something about the exterior and interior design makes it look like a prior gen Chinese car. I think I’m on the only one who thinks this car looks ugly.
No I think it’s super ugly…like awful, everyone seems to think they are beautiful but not sure why. It looks cheap too
@@ndukasmith I’m just saying the ocean looks off, cheap and clunky, like prior gen Chinese cars. But Chinese car nowadays have amazing styling and build quality.
Not sure this car is worth the price premium. But w so many unit available in inventory, I guess they’re not selling.
Looks a bit like Range Rover. IMO They look great. So much nicer than a Tesla Y that's for sure.
Also I need to say it. The seats…. Couldn’t be any less sporty wow. Especially the back. It’s a friggin bench!!! Look at the polestar 3 seats and you will get what I’m saying. Rushed, crap materials. Feels extremely Cheap. So many touch points feel cheap to the touch. This thing will fail. Especially because they rushed it out. Polestar / Volvo delayed the polestar 3 / ex90 multiple times. If it’s not ready DONT PUSH IT OUT!
The seats are very nice and comfortable. You must experience it first before commenting.
I don’t understand how everyone can be so excited over a car whose companies stock is literally collapsed and wiped out millions upon 100s of millions of dollars in peoples portfolio I mean technically the company is bankrupt. It will never be able to access to capital markets ever again, so since the company eventually will go bankrupt in a couple quarters how can everyone be so excited over something like that I mean look at the stock it’s gone
The company will not ho bankrupt. Because you sold, it's not going to happen. Watch for the partnerships on the way.
Simple dishonesty. An automotive “journalist “ must know the Ocean is a station wagon, with just five inches of clearance, and not an SUV, too, but has a single one said it is a station wagon? Fisker could not get any money to actually start his company for years, despite a big pile of lies about having breakthroughs and patents for all kinds of things. But the magic of SPACS gave Fisker a billion dollars for his company of one laptop, nine employees, one of whom was an engineer, and some pusher car models. Something about Fisker holding the all time record for losing venture capital might be the reason, or maybe it was his last $400 million dollar capital round at Fisker Automotive, the one where he neglected to mention that the DOE had pulled their Fisker loan to investors.
Then again, maybe investors don’t trust Fisker after he claimed their estimated deliveries by end of 2023 would be just under 60,000, then he revised that to 42,000, and revised it to 32,000, and revised it to 20-22:000, and revised it to 13-17,000, and revised it to just over 10,000…
DAVE👋: You cant put lipstick💄 on a pig🐷... Aesthetically it has "some" appeal but technologically and 💰 "cost-wise" it is Dead-On-Arrival.... Lets "get real" here... Sad to say it but that is the REALITY...
it has class leading range and is very affordable.
@@monsterpatbro1041 OK, so even IF I accept what you say what about EVERYTHING else ⁉ Sold by a company that likely won't survive ❗ No service locations ❗ Over-priced for what it is ❗ Value-wise Tesla CRUSHES it ❗ Go ahead spend YOUR money on it 🤣
@LJ-jq8og I want something fresh. Not a Tesla.
@@monsterpatbro1041 Great to hear 🤣 You go get yourself something "fresh"... Throw those dollars down 😊 Lets see how that ages ⁉🤣
Everyone says that Tesla quality is abysmal so how can a Tesla fan give tips on quality to other car makers???
