Hi all, small correction to something jack said at 3:01 - the brand is American but production of the Ocean will actually take place in Europe through Magna, as discussed later in the vid. Slip of the tongue! We've given him 20 lashes and he's very sorry.
Surely 10 would have sufficed!
Thanks. I suspected that was what was intended. Excellent video though. Jack can be first rate when he wants to be. 🙂👍
At 15:15 - We don't need any car noise. Period.
Many EV drivers enjoy driving along rural lanes whilst listening to the wildlife. Birdsong can be very soothing whilst driving.
I drive an EV for various reasons, but high on the list is the peace and quiet of not having to hear a droning money to noise converter throughout the journey, Many thousands of people are annoyed by traffic noise, particularly at night, when one loud engine can be heard halfway across a city.
I refuse to add to the noise pollution any more than is absolutely essential. If our car's pedestrian warning sound could be turned off, I'd do it immediately. It can be heard from several hundred metres away, and it sets off the local dogs every time they hear it. _That_ annoys the neighbours! When you think about it, almost nobody complained about an almost silent vintage Rolls Royce when it passed them, saying that their silence was dangerous, did they?
@Pepeko The Lucid Air totally can.
It does not bother you that it is July and Fisker claims sales start in November, and there is not a hint of a UI in that car, and no one is even being taken on rides driven by Fisker employees? Did you major in Gullibility in college?
Working with Magna is probably the best decision they’ve made. They’ve de-risked the whole company don’t have to worry about serious quality problems as they’ve been making EVs for a while now.
It’s a promising sign for sure!
Oh yeah I can see quite a few future companies going with Magna to build their cars, there will be a lot of cars with similar running gear but the styling will be like all the different types of phones out there. Get rid of the ICE and emissions standards worries and just about anyone with a factory and sense of style can start pumping out a car.
I didn't knew MAGNA until now , its a huge manufacturing company whihc even builds Car Chasis for various Automobiles
That shiet just blewing my Mind , how are they even making it possible...
@@anydaynow01 it would work for expensive limited production cars - Magna made the I Pace for example - but that model will never work for high volume 'affordable' cars!
And, gives them time to learn and figure out how to manufacture in house.
I want Fisker to succeed, just to see good designs on cars!!
I hope that this is successful. We need people with the creativity of Fisker.
fisker is A1 fraud .. look at the interview from fox where he claimed he has solid state tech in 2018 ..this is 2022 ..he is con artist at the best....
Always fun to see someone so passionate. Hopefully they succeed.
I'm impressed. I really like the look of that and the base model seems to have great specs for the price. They deserve to succeed.
I love that the center screen rotates like all of the BYD cars. That's very cool
Top trim model
I really hope Henrik Fisker will be successful this time!
I think it looks really good!
Looking at Fiska's history I'll believe it when I see it: a production version.
this time Magna is the perfect partner... don't worry
@@glorious_help
Every time someone says „don’t worry“, you should definitely worry.
@@glorious_help haha yes and for 35k!
I like Mr. Ficker's enthusiasm and focus on sustainable materials.. Great car.. I wish them luck.
The FISKER ocean is a straight to the point car ,they have focused on range and functionality and the technology included is enough for the modern driver ,not to mention the ocean is literally the most beautiful car around…look at it parked next to the lotus electre which is a gorgeous but the ocean still steals the show.
Brilliant. Smart thinking by Fisker to make the Ocean environmentally friendly as well as include 250kW fast charging and vehicle-to-load (V2L). Fisker is a serious contender in the EV market!
It's a shame that the solar panels are only available on their most expensive model though
I'd hope it'd at the very least make other manufacturers think about building cars to have solar panels, from the ground up for under 35K
I'd love to have say an extra 6 miles a day straight from from sun. This is however down to me only having to use the car to go to the office twice a week
This is the car I will be trading my Ioniq5 in for in 2023, already chose my colour and spec. Can't wait , nice review as always Jack 👍
Fisker is always good value in interviews and a great designer
I think this "LFP in base model NMC in extended-range version" approach is going to become extremely common across the industry. It minimizes costs, spreads sourcing risk and since you're already designing the car for the long-range version, you have the space to easily produce a standard-range version using lower-density LFP cells using the same battery volume.
A knock-on benefit for consumers is that the most cost-conscious ones that are likely to keep cars for longer (those buying base models) will get a longer-endurance battery that is likely to degrade even less (than the typically already low degradation of NMC cells) over the lifespan of owning the vehicle. For those leasing a high-end car on a 3-year cycle this doesn't matter so much, but for those who regularly keep vehicles for 10-20 years this will be more important.
Great fun - love the way you’re able to make high quality videos during a crowded show!
You can't see the four guys behind the camera all equipped with cattle prods...
I always liked Fisker's design language, I just hope that they succeed this time around.
Ditto.
Same. They are extremely lucky to be able to take another stab at it after several previous failures. It looks great and I hope they can follow through and produce these in large numbers.
I concur!
They are running on empty and running out of other peoples money!
So good at designs, so passionate about cars. I always love to hear him talk.
Placed my deposit a few months ago. The idea of teaming with Magna was a big plus for me and their broad approach to sustainability. Be an interesting follow up to my current Ioniq 5. Not sure I’ll be doing California mode that much in Scotland though.
How much was the deposit and is it refundable?
@@RPRosen-ki2fk US$250 (even in UK) when I reserved. Refundable subject to a $25 admin fee.
You'll be lucky to get 1,500m of free charging from the roof solar cells too 😒
@@koitorob lol. I get about 500 miles on the solar roof of my current Ioniq 5 P45……. Quoted figures are for California and Portugal on the Ioniq 5 ;)
What, you don't want rain flowing through the cabin?
Henrik Fisker has designed some beautiful cars. If he'd stayed at Tesla maybe their cars wouldn't look like stood on "Jelly Beans". Hopefully this time it's their turn to succeed. Good luck to them!
Excellent video Jack, possibly the best car reviewer on TH-cam, knowledgeable whilst still being very entertaining!
wait a sec Henrik is a Designer? and Designer can be a CEO??
holy fuch im a designer
newbie.
Looks great. Unlike some, I like the front. I like the backside as well. I'd really love to have one with the California Mode.
So nice to have work in the early stages of this car project!
I love the look of this car. In my opinion the best looking SUV I’ve seen. Shame it won’t be in Australia for a long time (I’m guessing).
I am in love with this car!! Can't wait for the order books to open in the UK!
They're already taking UK reservations.
@@Breen933 are they? Thanks mate, the last time I checked it wasn't accepting any.
@@jamesmccormack7703 I do hope soon for the UK since here in US I received my invitation (under first 5000 reservists) to pre order the Ocean One on July 5th, and have done so immediately using their easy to navigate ‘Fiskerati’ & ‘Fisker’ app with expected delivery no later than Jan 2023.
@@Breen933 not yet he’s said end of 2024 or 2025
Silicon Carbide is amazing in power area. As power engineer I am amazed to hear they actually choose it in an EV.
I saw the dropped tailgate window and thought back of the seventies station wagons and the exhaust smell… finally it makes sense!
Great video thanks and I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and passion!
I am so excited about Fisker coming to Europe and the UK with some exciting cars coming over the next few years! The Karma was a great car that never really grabbed many headlines, lets hope Fisker smash it out of the park and we can all enjoy something fresh and new...
Fisker will be a big success coz' it's got the best design, especially the interior and the price is not that expensive.
God bless.
Nice style, good specs if they’re achieved, but will hold judgement for when the real production models start coming out for sale. Too many “coming soon” models around at the minute all of whom have some mighty scaling hurdles to overcome. Let’s hope this one breaks through.
I’ve got a really good feeling about the Fisker Ocean. It’s going to be brilliant I think,
A fantastic review without actually driving or sitting in the car! Love the fisker ethos and design, these guys will smash the UK market. I love the fact the main man has brought a cost conscious model to the UK. Too many start ups and established brands are well over priced. Ill be getting an order in on this bad boy! 👌
Fisker: The definition of vaporware.
Cybertruck: hold my beer.
Subcontracting the manufacturing to Magna will ensure excellent build quality but I suspect they will be limited in quantity. The Jaguar iPace was made in Graz but never in enough quantities...maybe that’s why the price was so high?...The car looks great and the £35,000 base price version is appealing...just don’t see how they are going to make enough of them to meet demand, maybe Magna will expand as a result of this contract with Fisker..lots of questions.
Sing me up for one of these! Finally, an EV with attitude and aggression. Just because it's an EV doesn't mean it has to be a noddy car!
The front looks a wee bit Lamborghini esk! A landscape screen mode will be great for when viewing maps
The screen is large... but other than that it's pretty awesome!
That satin blue model at 13:50 is quite possibly, one of the best looking vehicles (ICE or otherwise) I've seen E V E R ! I want that one.. THAT ONE!!!
Agree
Great video and interview Jack!
Great to see that Fisker has still something to give. Great head.
Reserved my Ocean 2 years ago! Excited about their FLEXEE lease option!
So good to see Henrik Fisker get this car to production, been following ‘his dream’ for what seems like an eternity, looks fantastic, a usable range, affordable-ish and it’s going to have top built quality. Love to know the max cornering g, performance etc, bet it’s surprising good.
Put a deposit on my Fisker Ocean way back in early 2020 and so glad I was on the waiting list so early, “it’s a beauty !”
Breathtakingly beautiful design 😍❤️ love all the windows are retractable (except windshield) lol
Great chat with Henry; that’s the first I’ve heard the predicted range mentioned, so good on you for getting that out of him! Would love to see what the Pear has to offer, but waiting until 2024 will be tough. Keep up the great work!
Really enjoyed chatting with him! A friendly chap with a clear vision
This car looks fantastic!! I really love the exterior and interior design. The sweetspot of $35,000 is even nicer! I just need them to ramp up quickly. 🔥💙💙💙🤞🏾
Looks amazing. Wondering about test driving and servicing.
Jacks parting sentiment really speaks volumes and describes the direction and focus where Fisker is heading, I think it is going to be a cool ethical brand that like Jack says will end up being fun! and it has a solar panel roof! Small, granted, but what else has that coming out next year which will give you 1500 miles per annum. Stick that up ya pipe! Genuinely very excited about this brand, great idea using an already established manufacture to make it, very cleaver and forward thinking. Two thumbs up 👍👍
If you get half of the promised 1500 miles with that panel, I would already be surprised.
1500 Yorkshire miles or LA miles?!
@@AttilaTheHun333333 2 miles per day instead of 4 miles per day? that will hardly keep up with the cars' daily parasitic drain.
Great show well done
Your usual great job!
THIS THIS THIS is the car Canada has been waiting for. I hope they partner with Canadian Tire to offer servicing via their extensive rapid charging and retail network!
I really like it, and unlike the evoque it looks finished. Always thought the rear looked like someone forgot that bit
Another great video, Jack!
Nice car with the exception of that grille (Cd - wot’s that?) and those wheels. And pop-out handles: cool until you have to replace them every few months, a solution again for a non-existent problem.
Like the camera door mirrors that are the same size as a conventional door mirror with a "You'd better sit down sir" warning when you visit the dealership to order a new one that was removed from your door by another motorist.
I liked a lot the Karma, it was strikingly good looking in the flesh.
Glad the company is still here (or is back !) , with another fairly (understatement ?) original car.
I liked this car, so much so that I ordered a One, which have probably all gone, so an Ultimate 6 months ago. Then I found out that they are not being shipped to the UK until June 2023, despite production starting in Nov 22. I might as well wait until I can get a test drive and review the quality of material's used and review the full specification at my leisure. I fear they might be overshadowed by Porsche, landrover etc
may well be....but Porsche SUVs tend not to ne £35k!!
@@davidstuart4915 True, but the Extreme I have ordered is 60k
Definitely excited for mine!
One time, I was behind Henrik at a grocery store. He seemed chill.
I want to be behind Jack though. 🥺
Looks great. Can’t wait to see someone drive it.
This guy is actually using his head while making cars, exciting! 👏
Love the look. Love the solar. Love recycled material.
Disappointed in the boot capacity. Not enough for a camping trip.
Being in Australia it'll be years away anyhoo. But def on the list when it does come.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems to be akin to a Niro. For a “true SUV” I was hoping for more interior space. And their website doesn’t show any pictures to help things.
Just saw on your Instagram that you're in Austria with the production car now. I can't wait for your review Jack. Hope you can turn the video around quickly!
Very interesting car
Great video mate 👌
Real Buttons!
A big, functional touch screen... with real buttons!
Also, what a range for the price.
Definitely the car to beat in the next few years.
Excellent, 5 should be in production by 2035 for 120k. Cannot wait!
was that a typo....did u mean 12?
nice . ideal for driving the great ocean road here in Australia.
strange 3 wheel thing, thought you meant the new Toyota.
.keep smiling everyone
what's it like offroad?
Another great video Jack
How fun! Great review, Jack. As a reservation holder, I am so excited for the Ocean. (I call myself a Fisk head.)
Here are my TOP TEN FAVORITE THINGS I'm looking forward to in the Fisker Ocean.
10: Karaoke mode
9: Head's up display
8: Range
7: Vegan interior
6: Fish net floors and recycled bottles
5: Overall base cost ($37,500)
4: Solar roof
3: Infinite leasing plan
2: Powers your home in a blackout
1: The World’s Most Sustainable Vehicle
infinite lease - do tell more :)
It's wild, David, they've said you can lease the car however long you'd like, a few months or nine years. Also, there'd be no penalty for extra mileage up to 30,000 miles per year. They call it the Fisker Flexee Lease.
@@RodneyCurtis sounds good, I am looking for short term Subscription type solutions, preferably incl street charging :)
I just reserved one of these last night and then I wake up to this video! Talk about good timing, excited to see Jack’s take!
Congrats on your preorder! Looks like a good shout to me
Really hope they succeed. Interior reminds me of my EV6 in some places.
Boy, can’t wait.
Let's hope you can return to this when production ramps up.
That Renault prototype does look better though.
the 5 is too slow in concept to production....things may well have moved on by the time this on the street at the right price
All sounds great Jack but will there be any after sales service?
Looks brilliant & how clever having Magna Steyr to build it like they do the Jaguar I Pace that is a fantastic car. I can’t wait to watch the U.K. test drive reviews and to actually know what size SUV the Ocean is equivalent to?
Here’s hoping Fisker offer a competitive PCP option & it has every chance being designed & built in Europe!
Just a little over a month until start of production! I have a firm build and can’t wait for mine to be delivered in February!
I hope for the UK market they include a Yorkshire Mode button to close all the windows and sunroof with a single push.
It rains here, alot.
.....and turn up the heating..!!
just had 10 glorious days in the Dales ;) - preceded by a few hundred mizzly or horizontal bullets during the winter!
Just a side note (as I start to watch the beginning of the video) - but any chance of a short segment on that Renault 5 showing up soon? (want / need to see more EVs in that size-segment!)
Looks great. More choice is coming 🔌⚡️
@Commander Spock not all power plants are coal Mr Dinosaur. SMH
@Commander Spock processing petrol/diesel just to ship it around the world is better then? locally produced electricity in Sweden is either hydro, wind, nuclear or solar. no such thing as coal here.
Ah Spock - like the cobalt that’s used in huge quantities in fossil fuel refining?
Plenty of EV drivers have solar - and in the UK, the grid is now approx 50% zero carbon and improving every year.
Catch up to this century, rather than being stuck in the 1900s eh?
Love the look of this, trying to figure out it's size, similar to Enyaq/Ioniq5? looks great for £35k
Great video 👍⚡🌿
In the voice of Jeremy Clarkson:
"It's a Kia Niro."
Is there any heads up display and ambient lighting on the dash and the doors ???
Looks nice. I wonder what the after sales support will be like?
Nice looking. Worthy of more attention.
What are the battery sizes for those ranges? I like the 390 miles. I want a 400+ range.
I want to be able to drive from Joburg to Cape Town with only 2 stops. That is 1400km
Production will be in Austria, just registered my interest According to the site prices will be under £40000 as a starting point then you can custom your vehicle upwards with tech you want from what i have seen and read its a great car with the customer being able to have the vehicle delivered to their home and I read that mobile servicing is on the cards at your home but with allocated centers around the UK as well.
Will this have the catching on fire feature that the other Fisker cars have?
Love the look of the car.
The design looks… fun! I like it. My biggest concern is: since they are outsourcing the car and not building their own factory, what are they going to do with showrooms, delivery locations, service centers? This seems crucial to me before I would feel comfortable putting down a deposit for one.
Those things, while relevant, seem entirely unrelated to where the car is built.
Spares them a lot of cash to set up showrooms and service centers. A factory is a money furnace, as described by Elon Musk.
@@jacobrichter Who said they were related…?
@@Yanquetino you very heavily implied it with your “since”
@@jacobrichter Nope.
Great review, Lamping a few passers by would make it better🤣
Wow!!! That Fisker that starts at that price would be a hit in the U.S. Especially if it starts being built here as well to get the tax credit would be the most reasonably priced suv EV you can buy!!!!
I didn't expect the Fisker Ocean to be this good. Can't wait to see their next cars, the future of Fisker seem really exiting!
Fisker will always be dependent on Magna. There is no future for them.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 "no future" .. well that agrees with ProvencalG's "really exiting".
Fisker, bit of a visionary :) - Beyond my budget, but not bad value for money it has to be said
Looking forward to compact sports model
Included in that philosophy of offering new character to EVs should be hearing the futuristic turbine like motor under acceleration - even my Zoe, on ultra smooth / quiet tarmac sounds...pwooah!
It looks like an Isuzu Axiom crossed with a Dodge Nitro. I wouldn't have thought those two would make a nice looking combo, but it really does feel fresh. I wonder if it will be able to compete at that price with GM and Honda's Ultium offerings coming out in 2023/2024, but it certainly looks like a contender if they manage to work out the logistics for selling and servicing vehicles from a startup.
I'm so impressed by this vehicle. it reminds me of Range Rover which I love. The range is perfect on the Ultra and Extreme.
As a millennial, the features that appeal most are the roll-down rear tailgate window, and the roll-down D-Pillar windows.
The height is ideal.
The front end is not too “busy”
I really like the driver instrument cluster (Tesla still uses the center screen for speedo, indicators, etc.)
The solar roof is very cool.
(We have a Sonata Hybrid with a solar roof, and it’s very satisfying to watch the battery charge on hot Texas days)
I like the rotating center screen. If it tilts towards the driver, that would make me love it! (I have a Mk7.5 GTI, and I love the 5° angle. It makes the car feel like a cockpit, with the comfort of the driver in mind)
The screen is only useful if there are streaming services available or if you can connect your phone to it and stream that way. The extra windows are cool but wouldn’t influence my buying decisions.
Renault 5 concept looked good, any chance of more details?
Covered it a little in my
Megane E-Tech first look last year, have a flip through the archives!
Nice video guys 😊👍
That's a sharp looking vehicle. I'm glad Fisker is making a serious push into the market. I want one, but may have to wait for the PEAR model to be related as I can't afford 68K for the high end OCEAN model. Not many middle class Americans can. But the PEAR seems like it will be in the correct range.
Explain why so many trucks and expensive gas guzzling SUVs are being bought then...most go from 60k 80k and more.
What’s wrong with the base model?
@@trance9158 I mean the average selling price of a new car is around 40k but most people aren’t buying new cars
@@chidorirasenganz it's just topped 47k currently. Yet the most sold car is the Ford F series truck which is a gas guzzling POS .
@@chidorirasenganz how many people buy a base model vehicle? The car dealerships almost never even have a base model on their lot.
FISKER: “We’re making ‘affordable’ cars you can drive to your weekend house and back on one charge.” (Damn, what am I doing wrong?!?!) 😳
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact. When considering whether to build one of the first mobile phone networks, a Scandinavian country decided that if 10% of people who could afford a second home got a mobile phone it would be financially viable.
Lets hope the price of EVs follows a similar trajectory to mobiles (and I'm talking about things like iPhones here).
contract manufacturing is such a good idea!
Jack could you do an updated review of the Fisker Ocean with v 2.0 software?
