Thanks for sharing. I assume you are using all year tires (compared to winter and summer ones). Is that correct? Noticed you have some electric car jack. Do you recommend? Brand? -thanks
@pinguposse, yes you are correct. 👌🏻We're using all-year tires. These tires are Bridgestone Alenza Sport AS. That a good question. I don't have experience with any other portable lifts than this one. What I have is a QuickJack BL5000SLX, from 2016. I think this model now has been discontinued. It was barely big enough for my at the time Mercedes E. And to make it fit my Mercedes S replacement, with jack points further apart, I had to fabricate some extensions. While my extensions are strong and work well, I don't really recommend this approach unless really necessary. This lift system is great for the home mechanic. Generally you have 3 major pieces, that can be stored away against a wall with a very small footprint. The drawback is that the combination of different jack point spread and wheel base, between cars and this jacks parallelogram design, makes it so that, one jack doesn't fit all cars. QuickJack now has 3 sizes, and they also lift higher than mine. Mine has two heights, and in this video I stopped at the lowest. Considering the specifications of the Fisker Ocean, if I were buying a new lift today, I'd probably go for this one. www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/7000tlx/ The good part is that it will lift 7000 lbs. The empty weight of the Ocean One and Extreme is a few hundred lbs over 5000. So I pushed my lift a little over it's rated limit of 5000 lbs. The bad part. The max spread on this lift is 66 inches, and the outer most part of the jack points on our Oceans is 66-1/2 inches apart. However the rubber blocks that you put between the car and the jack can be placed in such a manner that they are between 1/2 and 1/4 inch in, from the edge of the jack points on the car, thereby reaching the max spread of 66 inches, all while still providing sufficient support. With this lift you'll get the max capacity of 7000 lbs and will be able to lift the majority of all cars. With a few exceptions, where of I have two. My Mercedes S has the jack points even further apart at 75 inches. At the other end of the scale is my Mercedes SLK, a 2 seater convertible where the wheel base simply is too short for the larger lifts to fit. If you don't have any other cars to mess with, and want to a little more wiggle room the 6000ELX would be my other choice with is jack point spread of 76 inches. These lifts are not exactly cheap, but in my case, where I have normally serviced my own cars, this lift has absolutely been worth the money. It's rock solid, and the convenience beats putting a car on 4 stands using one floor jack. It will take you about 5-10 minutes from moving the jacks from the storage against the wall, until the car is in the air and ready to get worked on. Thanks for your support and question. 💫🫡
Im in canada and fisker ocean one is going for 38k i sm going to view it on this saturday ,if it where you woyld you still purchase this vehicle today?
@barackblows1942, just making sure it's the smoothest ride in town, even for a "brick".☝🏻 😎 One man's "brick" is another man's Tesla. Or Ocean. Or bicycle. Gotta roll into town somehow. Thanks for the laugh and the view. 💫 🫡

Why do you need tires on a brick? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are great for a smoother ride.
