Adam's Video of the last 2 Fisker 8K's: • Fisker Bankruptcy Aler...
Brian,
I cannot thank you enough for your very thoughtful and consistent evaluation of Fisker and its attributes as well as its faults of the last six months. I look forward to hearing your opinions and seeing how you deal with the various issues. I have decided, almost to 90%, to keep our Fisker. It is not our only car. We have a very reliable, very successful 2013 Subaru Outback wagon that has no faults compared to the Fisker.
One of the new Fisker dealers is in Albany, New York, which is 63.2 miles away from me. They were an original Fisker Karma dealer and have grown into a large auto sales and servicing company. The cars that they have in inventory that they service are Alfa Romeos, Jaguars, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Land Rovers, the Mercedes G class wagons, and of course they have about 30 Fisker Oceans on their lot. I visited the repair shop/dealership to introduce myself when I was in their area. They are waiting to receive, for more than a month, a Fisker laptop to use to diagnose and repair Fisker Oceans. So, the biggest issue is what the heck is Fisker doing that undermines their own dealers. The point is, if Fisker survives, I will have a local repair shop that is used to dealing with Fisker and other high-end automobiles.
95% of our driving is local. At the end of July, we’re taking a trip out to Cape Cod, which you are very familiar with to visit a friend who has a weekend house there. So, I’m truly hoping we don’t get stuck between here and there because that would be a nightmare.
I watched your last TH-cam upload, as well as Adam’s to get a good sense of the financial situation with our Fisker. At the age of nearly 80, I bought this car as my first EV to help the environment and especially younger people who are going to suffer greatly down the road. My wife and I will be long gone, but we thought that could be a small part of our legacy. If we’ve already lost $45-$50,000 on this car, it doesn’t leave much more for me to lose. I will be able to withstand that with my remaining lifespan. We paid cash for our FOO car which coast us $76,968.94 (all in). So I am, 90% sure I’m just going to keep it and drive it until I can’t get service, which as I said above, should not be a problem if Fisker gives the dealer a laptop to do all the analysis.
I can definitely say without reservation that this was the most anxiety producing decision I’ve ever made in my life, whether it is a financial decision, business decision, or physical acquisition decision. Most of my life, at least 45 years’ worth I’ve been in business for myself, and that leaves plenty of opportunity for making wrong decisions and having anxiety but none as bad as buying a Fisker- or as my friend says - a Fixer. I sincerely hope that the Fiskers get what they deserve over the next year or two.
I know that this is a long rant, which may not be necessary, but it makes me feel somewhat better than I’m getting it out of my system for several people to see. I wish you well in all of your endeavors and once again I really appreciate all that you’ve done for me and my understanding, of the insanity of what we have gotten into.
Thank you for watching, commenting, providing feedback and sharing your story. I hope your Ocean remains problem free for as long as possible and that you make it safely to and from Cape Cod. We are in agreement that the Fiskers should get what's coming to them, so hopefully karma takes care of that.
Thanks for watching & commenting. I’m looking forward to sharing more about the XC40 Recharge.
Brian, thanks for sharing your journey through the end. My journey started in October too, but i was rear ended less than a month later. Unable to get parts, or even parts listing to get a repair estimate, insurance couldn’t do anything with it until late January. I was rear ended by an uninsured motorist, which turned out to be very lucky, since I was only dealing with my insurance company. They finally wrote me a check for the estimated repairs, and I sold it the first week of February. There were not any parts, or ETA on getting parts to repair it. I knew I wanted out, and had huge concerns about Fisker surviving. I was just very lucky with my timing.
Thanks for watching & commenting. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Thank you Brian for sharing your story. I began following you after you visited the Out of Spec podcast right after you took delivery of your Fisker Ocean. Thank you for the highs, the lows, and specifically the honesty all of the way through.
Thank you for sharing your journey! Had the ICE Volvo XC40 and it was a fun vehicle. Looking forward on hearing your reviews on the Volvo XC40 Recharge. 🙂
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Looking forward to reviewing the XC40 Recharge in context of our FOO replacement.
Sad, you were one of the rare folks that we looked to for optimism of this disaster of a car. Good luck.
I’m not surprised for many reasons but the biggest one… he’s Adam’s friend…. All Adam had was a lot of complaints
@@RoxyJill I do agree that Adam was probably a consideration leading EV OG to the ultimate decision and a decision that Adam also made. But there are other continuing and constant issues I have seen from many others in the FaceBook Oceans Groups. Some could be exaggeration, some could be untrue, it's impossible to be sure. BUT I did, out of curiosity, try contacting service. I tried on the phone 2 times, waited 56 minutes and got cut off, waited 1hr and 6 minutes and I hung up. I also tried online and no reply. So, if Fisker goes under I have equal concerns on service and the cost of shipping, parts, and repair cost. So, there is more to it, I assume, than Adam influence here, although it most likely contributed as all of this is cumulative.
@@DaveDarinthat’s why I said I’m not surprised for many reasons…
@@RoxyJill I’m sad you think you are such denial you’d judge him before the guy that canceled your roadside assistance, and was such an advocate of Fisker. I hope to see you come back in July to apologize to him for being judgmental to those trying to help.
@@krafter324 like I said I see him selling for many reasons. No judging him there. The writing was clearly on the wall though. Looking at his other videos and being so close of a friend that really hated Fisker.. it was all there just a matter of time for him to sell. Why are you judging me? I never said he was wrong…. Or right… just gave my observations as I watched his nervousness grow over the months
I am so please, like Adam, you have been able to save yourself from the sinking ship.
Again, love the replacement choice.
The XC40, the car I drive, but the 2024 Ultimate.
Love the car, and am intrigued by what you review will be like.
👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. Congrats on your 2024 XC40. I’m looking forward to telling it’s story
Brian, Thank you for sharing your Fisker Transitioning Story.
I have a suspicion that Tata is likely one of the large investors in Fisker and the 8K and 10K documents are worded to protect Tata's investment and avoid another company swooping in and acquiring Fisker once all 2023 vehicles have been sold. If that is the case, I can only hope that Tata will eventual restart the production of the Ocean, and ideally make service and parts available for those of us that have chosen to ride out the turbulent sea of owning an ocean. I personally do not see another EV that meets my criteria and has a cost under $70k.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you’re right and would love to see this happen to give the Ocean & owners a new lease on life.
As someone that has it paid off in full, I will be keeping it. There is nothing out there that I could purchase with the features that it has. It drives like a dream - I like the car...depreciation is part of having a new car - this one more so unfortunately. Also - I don't like the look of any other EV's out there. I'll keep it. I'll risk it. I'll run it until I can't anymore.
I am in the same place as you. I kinda feel trapped, so I may as well enjoy it.
I’m on the same sinking boat as u guys I’m keeping my ocean it’s actually driving closest to error free at the moment
your delusional you need smelling salt to wake up. go see adam everthing ev part 1.
Fisker will be a EV titanic . lifeboats are already in the sea, magnificent ship but couldn't be saved.
Hi Brian, thank you for your informative videos and your comments. I also appreciate that you published all details on your transaction. But, I think that you and Adam are not right at that point. I know this from the equity market. As long, as uncertainty exists, the market prices in the worst possible scenario. Even if FSR goes bankrupt the prices won't be under pessure to that extend like they are now (maybe it will drop after the event, but not on the longer perspective). So basically I think, it is not the best timing now. I have got my FOE in February and did not really have issues. Of course, the error messages are also annoying me, but the car is my main vehicle and did quite well here - I even drove 7000 miles in these 3 months without major problems. All the best with your new XC40 (I had a XC90 PHEV before the Fisker)!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m rooting for the Ocean to have a viable future, but I don’t believe in the company
Thanks for sharing the journey and congrats on the Volvo, good looking car. I was thinking polestar would be the replacement not far off.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I agree the Polestar is a very good EV option.
Great video as usual. I am looking for information, not entertainment, so appreciate your rational, reasoned approach that does leave room for other opinions, simply explaining yours. Thanks for taking the time. Will follow your journey in the new Volvo
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your feedback & I’m looking forward to sharing more about “Ironheart” and other EVs.
Loosing over 4.500 a month for 8 months totally sucks man .Cannot immediately think of another brand that has dived by sooo much ,
Maybe deloreon ? Ps q 40 is a handsome car and is a very strong global brand
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Im hoping to get one for under 15k and the community comes with the remedies 😅
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Best of luck on your quest to own one. I do not recommend doing so.
I respect your decision. Fisker never honored their promises from the beginning. They launched an unfinished car.software updates are never going to happen since production has stopped and magna has moved on. They sold cars and charged dollars from people for features which were not available. Offered free charging creadits and tyres but never honored it. They screwed investors by not filing to SEC which led to dilution. They screwed existing owners by slashing down prices for their benefit. Its not like only a fisker ocean can do something which other cars cant do. They never kept their promises? Why should we keep their cars.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Agreed. For those and other reasons, I no longer believe in this company.
Congratulations! Thanks for your informative videos.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Brian, thank you for all your thoughts, have loved your posts. Shame you feel you had to sell up, but everyone needs to make the correct decisions for themselves. I’m continuing with FOO here in UK, we have a couple of dealers who will service and deal with any accidents, agree about the value of the car,but there must be a lower limit given the 113 kWh battery, a 13kWh tesla PW is £7500 UK, so 113 x 8TPW = £60000, even if its half that its got value, also in uk, as soon as you drive off the forecourt you loss 20% valve so my 60K car from day 1 would only be worth 54K. Like you I’m a half full than empty guy. Wishing you and your family all the best and happiness with your future, sure i be seeing you soon,
Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing such kind words.
I'm rooting for the Ocean and for owners like you keeping your Ocean. I hope it has a long and relatively problem free life.
Excellent video and wise choice. Your reason #4, (service, parts, dealers, OTAs) is the coup de grace. I don't see how even the most ardent Ocean aficionado would argue to the contrary. The Noteholder is simply milking the cow for every last drop. They will keep dropping the prices until the sales slow to the point where the operation is no longer financially viable, then send the remaining to auction houses...which will diminish resale value. Once BK materializes, prices will drop further.
As a former shareholder and owner, the combined loses must be a painful lesson. But most of us make similar mistakes sooner or later.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Your comments here are spot on IMO.
That said, I'm still rooting for the Ocean to somehow survive and live on.
Congratulations on the Volvo. I have a Polestar 2 Performance and immensely enjoy the vehicle. It's mostly Volvo, so I'm sure that you will feel the same about Ironheart.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
And congrats on your P2P. That's definitely a close cousin for the Volvo.
It's more important that wifey comes to love the Volvo, so stay tuned.
I wish you the best and hopefully you can do the right thing for those of us that are hanging in there with our Oceans and investment. No need to be like Adam and constantly bash and digging for dirt. Be humble like Fiskerati and move on with life.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm still very much rooting for the Ocean despite no longer believing in Fisker.
And what about the people who might buy one of these lemons because they don't see the true situation?
Brian once again thank you for sharing your experience. Can you please do videos sharing your experience with your Rivian? I am skiddish about Rivian because it seems to be too niche and very expensive. I am looking at pulling the trigger to buy the Lyriq in 2026.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I did publish a quick Rivian R1T to Cybertruck comparison video today, and have a towing video coming on our Rivian.
All car purchases are a decision primarily of the heart and not the mind. We are all losing money, but the inability to get service makes this one a tough keeper. Looking forward to future EV content regardless of brand.
Thoughtful purchase. My mind keeps going to the Volvos because they as a company seem to still care about the engineering aspect of what they produce.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
If this XC40 is any indication, I'm in agreement.
I also found several interesting and attractive parallels to the Ocean I may cover in a future video.
Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your new car.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I appreciate your well wishes with our new EV.
Great Video, I found a local mechanic near me that is able to work on and source parts for the Ocean. But am still a little concerned about the code/software updates that will be needed. Was debating grabbing one at a steal for a price. But not if it's going to end up being and 34k paperweight.
How can he source parts when they wont exist? That makes no sense.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
These concern and others are the reasons we got out the Ocean, and do not recommend it to anyone to purchase. In addition to service, support, software, etc. we no longer believed in the company, so it was time to get out.
I’m with you sir. I took the same financial hit but couldn’t risk losing anymore or being stuck with a very high car payment without service or warranty. A gamble I wasn’t going to take, so I got a 2024 Subaru Solterra Limited. They had a $0 down lease to help soak up some of the negative equity. All other leases wanted $4-5k down. After driving it for 2 days, I realize how much better built it is and I now have adaptive cruise with lane centering, wireless CarPlay, no rattles, no creaks! No 0-60 in 6.5 seconds is not fast, the range is nowhere near the ocean one, but I don’t drive far often at all. I have 0 regrets getting rid of it, and hope others listen to this while they can. Especially if it’s your main car. Congrats on your Volvo.
yeah yeah any car is better than Ocean? you take us for fools sir? we all have had access to other EV and we know what overpriced garbage most are, your narrative is like a repeat post over social media, are you a short seller?
@@Jim-jd7ox lol you’re funny. Same short seller crap. Cult much? I have nothing to prove to you , but in July I hope to hear from
You July, please let me know as a the “fake owner that I am”. But you are correct! Most cars are better! Oh I hope karma pays you a visit for saying that. Everyone is a fake, a short seller, or whatever crap those like you in denial can come up with. Are you working for the note holder? Or fisker? That’s how ridiculous you are. I’m pissed I lost money on the liar, so I wish nothing but what you deserve for saying that.
@@Jim-jd7ox can’t even list your name but I’m a fake lol. 😂
Eek solterra
@@Tacocat123 sad that it’s better than the ocean. Works
As the first owner (still) of one of the first 1000 DeLoreans I can empathize with you. I feel like the numbers that eventually put you in a lesser car could have let you drive the Ocean until it just quit and then part it out. Surely techs will be around and you would have to pay an awful lot in service to ay for a $30k loss. I think you nailed too quickly.
Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing your perspective.
I'm 100% sure I did the right thing by getting out of the Ocean. It was one the biggest mistakes we've ever made. We corrected the mistake, learned from it and moved on. That said, I wish existing owners the best.
Thanks for sharing. I would like to get out of my Ocean as well but I do not have a title (Fisker said I need to go to the DMV) and have been waiting for nearly 3 months for a replacement windshield..kind of difficult to sell a vehicle with a broken windshield when parts are very difficult to come by.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I sincerely empathize with you and your situation. It took Fisker 6 months to get us our title. I hope you get yours soon and you can move forward.
@@EV_OG I spoke with them last week and they passed the buck now onto my DMV. Fingers crossed. Best of luck with your new vehicle.
Thats funny. I went from the 2023 XC40 Recharge...same color to the Fisker Ocean because of the low range on the XC40. I intended to get another XC40 as a shorter range back up for around town. Sad that Fisker went downhill so shortly after my switch over.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The XC40 is a great EV and should be perfect for wifey’s daily driving needs
Thank you for sharing the detail of your exit from Fisker; you didn’t mention Rivian, but I think you said you have one already? Did you look at the Honda Prologue? I guess I’m going to have to bite the bullet, got my One the week before you on 10/14/23, 3500 miles and 2.0 - it’s all working! Agree about service and traveling reliability.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
We do indeed own a R1T and it is the best EV I've ever owned. I did not seriously consider the Prologue.
I hope your Ocean remains problem free for as long as possible.
Wise and logical conclusion. I will miss your observations. FO future value will be determined by the parts aftermarket. The bigger issue is the EV market in general is depreciating rapidly(except Tesla) as compared to ICE machines. So I would be compounding my losses by moving to another EV model. It's just not a growing market anymore, therefore not the "safe destination" one seeks in correcting the course as you say. That is why you got a "good" price on the Volvo which is a nice machine. Eventually I will have to get another ICE machine.
Thanks for watching and commenting. EV is not declining, it’s still growing. The rate of growth is what’s slowed. Tesla EVs are also depreciating
Love the blue!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
We did love our Mariana (blue metallic)...
The Audi is on the same platform as the ID4. The MEB platform has been one software mistake after another.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Your insights are appreciated
@@EV_OG I look forward to hearing more about the Volvo.
I have a ‘21 ID4 and, yes, there are annoying software issues but it drives great, range is good and is very comfortable.
Hi OG, how were you able to get the 7500 tax credit on the Fisker? I thought to get it the car essentially had to be assembled in the US I know I'm oversimplifying it but that was my understanding.
Grandfathered in since we paid $5k before the new bill was signed.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
As already stated, we leveraged the transition rule from the old credit to get our incentive.
@@Mojoish Thanks for that info.. Do you know what the grandfathered date was?
@@leewinters4992 Had to have a contract and deposit by August 15 of 2022.
i'm so sorry that your channel and adam's Chanelle continue the negativity on this company and the cars , I hope new fisker owners and members will have their own more positive youtubve feedback on the car in future because this car deserves more respect that its getting
Thanks for watching and commenting. This channel and all of my content herein is about sharing my experiences, connecting with other EV enthusiasts, and learning. Fisker negativity comes from the source
@@EV_OG watching your videos and Ocean 1 channel you both were more patients with some software issues with the car but others like Adam or MKBHD called the car trash basically, we all know tesla still has recalls and software upgrades nothing is perfect so i'm surprised everyone is demanding perfection from fisker after on one year of production, I strongly believe fisker is being purposefully sabotaged , not by you but many others on social media , all issues are blown out of proportion, nobody wants to wait for them to fix few software issues, As a software engineer I can tell you no software has been perfect on its fist iteration
Stock pump and dumper spotted...
For now, I'm sticking with the Ocean. Goodluck. I always loved your views and videos. Your observations are not incorrect, but I'll keep my Ocean
Best of luck! One of us will be wrong, time will tell.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm still rooting for the Ocean and owners who decide to keep it.
Hope it works out for you.
Hilarious that you didn't chose an Audi due to software concerns after buying a Fisker Ocean.
Thanks for watching and commenting. When you know better you do better.
Fellow Tall Brotha here as well --> 6'6" woot :)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sounds like we see eye to eye... ;)
Sad to see you bounce... I can't afford to get rid of mine... although I do love my FOO
Thanks for watching and commenting.
While I no longer belive in teh company or have the car, I'm still rooting for the Ocean to have a long life.
Im thinking the same thing. I know its a gamble, but my car is running well, i have over 13k miles on it in 6 months. I cant fathom voluntarily taking a 35k+ loss voluntarily. I dont know what ill do if it becomes non operational during the next 2 years or so, but id rather pay monthly and hope she keeps kicking before i can swallow the loss.
How many launches do you still have on your Fisker?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I traded in our FOO with ALL 500 "boosts" still in place... ;(
Don't look at it as a loss. Depreciation is really a cost of ownership. Those of us who became adults prior to the pandemic know that new cars lose value as soon as you sign the purchase contract. It is a part of buying and selling cars (resale value is not part of the equation if you don't plan to sell). Sometimes previously unseen factors play into future decisions.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I agree with your comments about depreciation.
Unfortunately, it was caused by Fisker's actions in this case, and the fact that they haven't delivered what we paid for...
@EV_OG Yeah. Some of Fisker's problems were unforeseen. I've been buying cars since the 70's (not often since I keep en until they no longer meet the requirements). But, I've always been told to ignore whatever the salespeople tell you because if it's not written down in the sales contract, it's not real.
BTW, we got booted from the Fisker Ocean Facebook group for saying we sold and no negative news is allowed. At least I did for commenting on your video, saying I sold mine lol.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hmm...so I've been expelled from the FO FB group?
What ever will I do? Lol...smh
The mental gymnastics of some of you people is astounding to watch unfold these last few months. Such relatively smart people going full copium despite all the signs and warnings. This would be interesting to have a study done on this behavior.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
You've clearly evolved to a higher level than the rest of us.
I’m very surprised that you went with a Chinese vehicle.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Last I checked, the XC40 was assembled in Ghent...
@@EV_OG True, but all of your data goes to shareholder/owner CCCP and they can use your data, as allowed by law, any way that they wish.
Service will be now provided at dealerships as is the case with most car brands, why are you youtubers not providing accurate information? how many car brands offer roadside assistance?
Thanks for watching and commenting. The majority of Fisker dealers do not offer service
Parts?
I think it’s safe to say that consumers never buy a new car from an electric car company start up.
I believe the Rivian story disproves this statement.
OG, hate this happened to you, I’ve loved the documentation of the journey. You seemed to have gotten out ok… most new cars depreciate 30% at the time of purchase; so 44% for a company headed down the wrong path - isn’t horrible.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Agreed. Stay tuned for more EV content.
OMG your triggering the Fisker deniers, all EVs values will deline but none more than a co. that is BK
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fisker's actions & situation is definitely accelerating depreciation.
It is clear you are again in your stages of mourning. You are trying to convince yourself that you have made the right decision. Time will only tell. I believe the chance that Fisker will survive is very slim. The only strategy that would still make sense is to get rid of the noteholder, pay them off with the revenues coming from inventory, and then try to sell the company free of debts from the noteholder. But that is going to be a long shot. as a FOO owner who has not thrown in the towel, I still hope for such a scenario (how every unlikely)
Thanks for watching and commenting. I too hope that the Ocean will have a viable future. Good luck.
Do you believe the extremely toxic positivity by some of the SoMe key enthusiast (Fiskerati, Reddit and Oceanforums moderators come to mind) could have prevented Fisker from acting more in the interest of their customers? Criticism of the factual errors and lackings of Fisker and the Ocean as delivered was forcefully silenced and gave Fisker more wiggle room to continue ripping of their customers, since the SoMe outfall was not nearly as visible as it could have been.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I believe Fisker incompetence and hubris are to blame
@@EV_OG I completely agree, but I still cannot help thinking the entusiast community was very unhealthy where very rational criticism (financial last spring, fake SOP, huge list of delayed features, lack of homoligation/testing) was silenced, giving people internally at Fisker no leverage towards the insane decisions by HF and GF
Half of 666.. bro has really lost it now. Also how can someone that rich claim an EV credit.. greedy
Thanks for watching and commenting. The tax incentive was earned. Only a fool would not claim it.
TATA will be marketing the Ocean in india by the fourth qaurter of 2024
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I admire your optimism and I'm rooting for the Ocean to have a long life.
Thats just made up in your head.
So I had my wifes XC60 2023 Polestar in for service ( software ) and on the lot was a Fisker Ocean, I know the guys well and asked how much did you give for that car in trade, 47,000 the same week you got your Volvo. I just laughed and after a lot of banter the GSM who made that call is no longer with that dealership. I asked how much they wanted for it given what new ones are being offered at and they said how about lunch for it...they were joking but they know they are hosed. Whoever got that 47k should be be counting their blessings.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
That's an awesome story so thanks for sharing.
Getting 47K this late in the game is crazy.
Sorry for your experience with FISKER. FSRN 0.059 time of Post. I told Adam the majority quit 3 feet before GOLD.
I have found 2 Oceans, no not Atlantic and Pacific, but both local used ones, both under 2000 miles for under $34k, one under $31k. Now do I buy? I have been back and forth on this constantly for over a month. I've over monitored the FaceBook groups which I actually exited from as they got more and more discouraging. It's just a hard determination, very hard. Support and service of any vehicle is critical and, out of curiosity I tried calling the service number and emailing and ZERO reply. You could be right about it being GOLD but there was a Twilight Zone episode were criminals stole gold, went into suspended animation for 100 years, came back and their gold was worth nothing as technology could manufacture gold. So going 3 weeks into the near future in June where there might be a final, or closer to final, determination. Your GOLD might be valuable or turn into dust. Hard to tell.
@@DaveDarin* Thanks for the tip. I paid -99.41% I can't Quit NOW. I think I AM doing opposite of the masses. I hope I AM not trapped in Emotion. I Acted.
@@fib78.67 I, sincerely, hope it works out. I test drove one of the local Ocean Ones 3 times and it was flawless, excellent.
@@fib78.67 I absolutely do fully understand. And, in all reality it sounds kind of selfish that I can now have the opportunity to buy an Ocean One at this price and I am still hesitant. It just got to be a constant bombardment of things I've read which I can not confirm to actually being accurate. 12v battery failures during OTA which made Oceans immobile. Outside door handle inserts deteriorating, cracked solar sky, cracked windshield with no available replacements, 17in screen malfunction, lack of service which that one I did verify to be true. The list just goes on and on. Now, if it possible that the Fisker might survive. Well, I do hope so, really I do. Having test driven one it is outstanding so I hope for the best for the owners.
@@DaveDarin Be patient. New ones will drop in price shortly. Announcements will be coming within the month.
