Buying a $300 iPod or sneakers is not comparable to a $40k + vehicle - not to mention that this is an investment that affects your life in so many ways.
Because of this I think centers should be setup to see (and ideally test drive) these vehicles.
I’m of the type that test drives more cars than I buy - the drive/feel means so much to me, not just ascetics
Totally understand. I hope folks get a chance to drive before they buy. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I bought a $78k car without seeing it or driving it. Yes it was a Tesla 😍
Not being able to test drive it myself isn’t a dealbreaker for me, as long as I’ve seen some of the established UA-cam Car-Channels review the ocean, I’m good with that (being able to sit in one at an experience center would help a lot). And confirmation on a couple of important stats like real world range vs. Charging speed and cargo space is a must for me.
Charging speed is important for sure. Would love to know how the Ocean interacts with Electrify America unit. Let’s hope we get a chance see them in person soon. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
We originally were going to go with an Ultra, but didn't want to wait as long as orginally planned to receive it. We flinched and instead went for the Ocean One really for the added features. Now that the new tax bill may reduce the size of the tax credit, we are still sticking with the One but are a bit dismayed at when we will actually receive it. If we get it sometime next June or July then fine we'll make it work but i'm starting to feel a bit taken advantage of.
They could have done a much better job with the rollout and announcing features, so consumers could make more informed choices. I think you’ll be happy to get the Ocean One, and I think it will be the only Ocean Model with a good chance of getting the tax credit. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
You consistently do an amazingly good job providing information updates for those of us eager to get our Fisker Ocean 🙏🏼🤞🏼⚡️🚙
I’m anxious for more information, I think we are getting close to finding out a whole lot more. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
The lack of specifications like headrrom is a deal buster. The Kia EV-6 test drive gave me a backache and I could not see out of the windshield nor even get into the rear seat. The Genesis GV60 was very comfortable but I could not get into the rear seat. The bottom line it is absurd for most people to buy any car lest alone one costing so much without being able to see or test it.
Makes sense. There are still a lot of mysteries surrounding this car. And I think there will be many who decide on something else because it is actually available to drive and test. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Another great video! For me I look at like this. Tesla and even Rivian started out similarly. Reservation holders didn’t have a product to test drive and had to lock in there trims sight unseen. Fisker is no different there. I think people also have to keep in mind they don’t have to build a brand new manufacturing plant to start building from scratch. Instead Fisker partnered with one of the top auto manufacturers in the world Magna Steyer! For me it shows Henrick Fisker knows what he’s good at…design and getting an experienced company to help bring his vision to life. I was sold after watching the German vlogger sit in and walk around showing me the Fisker Ocean. Personally, I can’t wait to get my Fisker Ocean Ultra!
You’re exactly right about Tesla and Rivian. As long as Magna/Fisker get the parts supply, the Manufacturing should go decently smooth. I love the design! I’m sure it will look even better in person. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Wake up man. Fisker doesn't even have working prototype.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 I understand your skepticism. They are currently testing prototypes. Check out the fisker Instagram.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 I saw and sat in one at the EV show in Santa Barbara on 4-23-22. I was sold.
@@u2bster it was a dummy. Not a real car.
In reply to 2 of your questions...
I actually do test drive lots of vehicles when purchasing. This time around I could only drive a Polestar, which I liked a lot.
I tried to test drive a kia ev6, but the dealership wouldn't let me. They told me I could only test drive it after I agreed to the numbers. I said get lost and walked out.
Everyone else (Ford, VW, Nissan etc) didn't have any EVs. I was going to get the Polestar, but they shut off orders for the 2022 and none of the pre-configured models available fit what I wanted. Shortly after I discovered Fisker and put down my deposit.
I hope Fisker let’s people test drive the cars, I think it will help a lot of people make the best decision possible. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Agree 100% about test drives. They only exist to convince fence-sitters to buy the car. And most every new car will drive great Going a few miles around the neighborhood tells you next to nothing about how the car will be on a day to day basis.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never learned much from a test drive except for how nervous I get during test drives. I guess if I was real tall I would need to sit in it. But I’m 6’0.” Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Test drive is a must, for me.
I hope they give reservation holders a chance to drive it. I am very excited to find out how it drives. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I’m just waiting for you all to buy then get the know it all. Thanks everyone I’ll wait to see your sweet Fisker!
No problem, I’ll share everything I find out! Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I'm as frustrated as you are with Fisker. Their lack of meaningful communications is concerning. I keep analyzing if I am just going to wait or go and buy an available EV. I think the reservations don't mean much at this point unless we are willing to shell out $69k. I think that is all that they are interested in selling for as long as they can. I get the feeling that they are interested most in showing their investors how much interest there is in their cars. I don't see anyway that they are going to be able to do Flexe leases for $379 per month. I don't think its honest. Red flags all around. Oh and trying to raise another $350 million for the Pear is just another concern. This company is going to lose a ton of money to start and they don't have full control what their partner manufacturers are doing and how they will or will not prioritize Fisker branded products. If they are really on time, they need to communicate a lot better!
Agreed. It’s going to be fun to watch no matter what. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
One of 5000 ocean 1, no red flags for me. Tesla s plaid owner with Fisker as my no. 2. Thanks for the presentation.
Thanks for watching, and congrats! Cheers!
Car will be legit by the time it shows up on road. I have seen Fisker Karma on the road and it is stunningly good-looking.
Agreed, Cheers!
Great video that addresses questions I've had, too. As a buffer to potential disappointment in the seat comfort, specs, handling, servicing, etc., I've decided to use the open-ended, no-penalty lease option so that I can turn it back in if I don't like it. I'm in a rental car now, which I wouldn't buy due to lack of seat adjustability. I hope my Ocean doesn't disappoint.
Great strategy for this car! I hope they get it right! Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I really do hope this one comes out soon. It’s def a Model Y competitor!
Indeed it is. Can’t wait to see the EPA range numbers! Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I can't agree with you on your test drive comments. I need to sit in a car to see if the seats are comfortable and have enough thigh and lumbar support. Many cars I have test driven are not satisfactory in these areas. Additionally, I want to actually drive the vehicle to judge its quietness and ride comfort. Can't even imagine buying a car without a test drive first.
Understandable. I felt exactly the same way before I ordered my first Tesla. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
I have been watching for more specs and ‘Experience Centers.’ Headroom may not be an issue for me, but I do know some pretty tall people who have that issue and cannot blindly buy a car. I am hoping that by July 1st they’ll have a few regional centers opening up. Maybe they don’t want to pour their resources into a travelling circus of a thousand test drives. But they could limit it to those of us who have reservations!
I think you’ve got a great idea in inviting reservation holders to test drive! Here’s to hoping you’re right, Cheers!
Thanks for your input! For all the new EV vehicles coming to market, I feel this vehicle appears to be the most interesting of all! I just hope they turn out to be as good as we anticipate them to be!
I’m right there with you! It looks great in person, fingers crossed! Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Dealerships add anxiety and cost and offer little in return. As Ford recently re-discovered during its Lightning delivery, dealerships can become a problem rather than the solution they promise to be, especially when they add their own charges just for being the place where you pick up the keys. I would gladly give up the ability to test drive to keep the "mark-up" along with the 100 plus little incidental charges, in my pocket. You can't even argue after sale service anymore as most of that spirals into an "up-sell" game. Like any other dinosaur, if it can't evolve, it's bound to go extinct.
Great comment, 100% agree. We will wait and see how they adjust going forward. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Watched your video to see if there was anything I needed to be concerned about in regards to the Fisker Ocean.....Thanks for putting this out there, it makes me feel better about my decision to make a reservation.
Thanks for watching, Cheers!
I have a reservation. I can justify this vehicle only if it receives the tow rating of 3,500 lbs or more; If I end up needing to keep my current tow vehicle I can not justify the cost. The 4000lb tow rating opens up an number of recreation activities such as towing boats and Jet Skies, A Side by side or small rv trailer and makes it an viable alternative to the Model Y.
I agree, it is a viable Model Y alternative. I hope it all works out. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
I was looking into ordering the fisker one a few days ago and had the same question because I want to be able to tow my 21' boat so I asked the same question and this was the response
Ultra/Extrem 4,000lbs (1,815kg)
Ocean Sport 2,040 (1,090kg)
No one test drives?!?! Really!?!? I too am super excited for Ocean and have my reservation, but to say that " I'm going to buy the car just because it has the Fisker name on it and believe all the hype and advertising without even driving the car once" is complete lack of objectivety and pure fanatism. I (and almost everyone I know) test drives a lot of cars before deciding on which one they want. They especially test drive the car that they'd been waiting for a while...to know whether their expectation is matching with reality. These are $50k+ investments we're talking of, for God's sake. Not a phone or shoe that could be swapped at will.
It is a gamble. And a long line for those who want to drive before they decide. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
My current car, bought 10 years ago, I test drove 5-6 cars I think.
I agree we do tend to make decisions based on emotional attachment. Absolutely.
The one thing so far with the Fisker Ocean that I’d need to see (even in video, not necessarily in person,) is the software.
These cars are going to be so software-heavy that it’s got to be spot-on.
This is a great point! And it’s also something we haven’t seen much of at all. Thank you for your comment, Cheers!
I ordered Sport, but now thinking upgrading to Ultra, not sure the AWD with torque vectoring with additional 90 mile range worth extra USD 10K. I go long drives and I use airbed in the car, as rear seats fold it is excellent, but I would need the FRUNK to keep my lugguage, and have a decent sleeping space ( I am 5'-6") so I don't have to take a Hotel and shower at TA or Pilot. That's the biggest gripe. Also if roof is for solar then Frunk is very important.
Switching your order may be difficult with both the Sport and ultra sold out in the US. It is a shame that there is no frunk. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Excellent video! Thank you so much. Great job 👏
Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Hmm... I'd never buy a car I hadn't test driven. I've test driven dozens of cars I didn't end up buying because of comfort, room, poor ergonomics, poor drivetrain, etc. I'm well over 6 foot tall. I won't buy a car I'm not comfortable in. I've only tolerated the poor entry and exit of my used Model 3 because I really wanted it. A MYP is on order. I was the same way on Tesla. Very very skeptical until I sat in one and test drove one. I'm not giving a new EV company any benefit of the doubt just because they're a new EV company. I am open to being impressed.
Very well put. Comfort is very important. Model Y has a lot more room than Model 3. You’ll appreciate it a lot if you’re over 6 feet. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Before i buy a car i always check and compare the interior dimensions, especially the headroom front and rear. I'm 6'4".
Makes total sense. Especially at 6’4” I hope they let us test drive them soon. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I didn’t even know about the preorder invite until I saw this, then went to look and had mine July 8th. They said I had 3 days but today it’s the 20th and I can still preorder. Weird! Gonna change mines to the Extreme so now I know they want money! I also want to wait behind the Ocean one to see if any problems occur. Still plan to get though.
I understand. I’m also waiting for a later trim to avoid potential first edition issues. Ultra for me. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Tesla's have a 24 hour test drive in my state and all Tesla's offer afternoon test drive..... You need to be able to test drive a car to tell if you'll like it
That’s great to know. I guess the Tesla deliveries for me I just did the stuff and left. Tesla sales are actually illegal in my state, so I have to travel out of state for delivery and service. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Spirit Halloween opens and closes huge stores in weeks. Fisker can do that model easily.
I am curious to see how it all unfolds. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Iin 2019 was able to test drive a Tesla 3 before buying from a dealership less than an hour away. In 2021 my partner was able to test drive a Tesla Y before buying. Teslas have been out so long that there has been plenty of postings from owners to give one a good idea of how well the car handles etc. The fact that the same cannot be said for the Ocean has kept me from reserving one, though I like the looks of it very much. For me it is way too much money to risk making a purchase commitment on a car that so little is known about.
I understand. I would love to be able to sit in it, and I hope they publish the specs soon. Thanks for sharing your experience, Cheers!
I “think” in most states large purchases like a car, you have a few days to return. I reserved a model 3 without even seeing it. I was not disappointed when I drove it at all. Henrick isn’t a small guy so I can’t see headroom or legroom being an issue.
He does look quite comfortable. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
He’s 6’3” so that’s not a small person. I think it will work for majority. If you’re taller than this than many cars could be an issue.
I do want to be able to drive the vehicle before committing to purchase. At a minimum I would like to sit in it and see if it's a good fit for me. Also for me personally If the ultra does not have heated seats it is going to be a deal breaker for me. I absolutely love heated seats and I feel like heated seats are becoming a standard and most newer vehicles you shouldn't need to get the winter package to have heated seats.
Thanks for sharing about the fisker app I was thinking the same thing about it being outdated. Is anyone actually purchasing the fisker merchandise? I too would not pay 100 bucks for sweatshirt.
You may have a chance to track one down if you’re looking at the Ultra. I hope that winter package has heated seats. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Has anyone heard of any presales yet? I know Fisker is starting with the more expensive version first. If anyone has had any experience with preordering please make a video. I'm referring to actually ordering the Fisker you want and putting a down payment down not just the reservation.
@@AA-mw5yv ordering starts July 1st based on available information
Yup that's right, I rushed it we are still in June
The most interesting rumor I’ve heard lately is the idea that they’ll have a kind of traveling road show thing where they take some cars on the road to let people test drive, prioritizing reservation holders. I think by the time they get around to it, if you wanted a One and maybe even an Extreme you may have already had to commit by then, but if your in the fence between an Ultra and a Sport, or about converting at all, it could be an interesting thing.
Personally though, I’m with you that I know enough about the car that my purchase decision is made without need for a test drive. Videos of content producers sitting in the car at Mobile World Congress, or the vloggers that got to sit in while it was sitting at his house showed me what I needed to know. The car isn’t going to mysteriously lose a bunch of rear leg room or become unacceptably short on head room. The cars dimensions are what they are at this point, whether published in detail or not.
As far as experience centers, meh. They’ve never indicated they will stand up more than a few of them, and they are on target for their public timeline with them. If someone doesn’t like that timeline, that’s fine, but it’s not a red flag for me because it’s not like they promised they would have a bunch of them open by now and blew past the deadline.
The commenter in your video also seems concerned about the recent ATM securities issue Fisker did. Personally, I don’t see this as a red flag. It’s a modest issuance, specifically declared to fund a known vehicle that has obvious development costs. I think that once the Ocean is launched and Fisker is bringing in real revenue they may have less need for this kind of maneuver, but for now it’s understandable and not out of the ordinary for a company of this size.
And finally, the allegation that Magna could possibly deprioritize Fisker’s cars and build something else without notice is just weird. How stupid would anyone have to be to enter into a manufacturing agreement like this without solid guarantees that you will be provided with the manufacturing capacity you are contracting for in the time frame you have specified. No one would do that. And when you look at the car manufacturing industry right now, Magna has no reason to WANT to deprioritize Fisker. Most or all of Magnas other clients are having supply chain problems severe enough that Magna most likely has lots of EXCESS inventory to give to Fisker if and when Fisker can commit to utilizing it. This is probably why Fisker keeps mentioning in passing that they can probably manufacture more than their promised numbers if demand stays strong. Because if anything Magna is probably constantly trying to get Fisker to commit to buying more capacity because Mercedes and others are cutting back.
There legitimate reasons to wonder if Fisker can really produce the number of cars they say they can on the promised timeline, but to me, most of those reasons have to do with component suppliers. I’m not worried in the slightest about their agreements with Magna.
Can Fisker really avoid the chip shortages that are crippling the entire rest of the industry? Can they buy enough manufacturing capacity to turn enough t shirts and fishing nets into car interiors? Can they really convince the EPA that the Ocean has 340 miles of range? These are legitimate questions that can be asked. But your commenter seems to me to just be a pessimistic person looking for things to be worried about, and none of their red flags strike me as all that concerning.
I agree! I am sure whatever Fisker center is opened, it will be hundreds of miles away from me. I don’t need to test drive it. It’s an EV. Heavy Torque, low center of gravity. I would grab a drive it they came close to me, but I’m cool either way. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
How many are on the road now, reliability is the biggest concern 65$
It’s a new car. Hasn’t been produced yet. I hope reservations holders get to drive it. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Since all the other manufacturers offer full specs for their EV models, and Fisker little to none, how is that going to help persuade potential customers to choose a Fisker over other models?
The Ocean is self described by Henrik Fisker as an exciting, sustainable, affordable SUV. It’s a startup, so nothing can be trusted fully, but those willing to take a risk for something exclusive is probably who Fisker is trying to get as a customer. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I have to see the vehicle and hopefully test drive to convince my wife to be on board with Fisker. She is not sold on the design yet and I wouldn't be able to go along with the reservation process without convincing my wife by touch, feel, and drive the vehicle first...
Very legit. Doesn’t feel real for some without being there. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
This is a level-headed video. We need more of this.
Thanks for your feedback! Cheers!
Houston TX is a location that would be an Fisker display center 🤔 But I didn't put a $5000 non refundable deposit. Only did the $250 reservation deposit!!!!
Houston is a good idea for a display center. Big metro area. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Chevy lowering price of the 259-mile 65 kWh Bolt EV to $26,000 is what makes me less likely to purchase the Ocean. Still, a base-level Ocean Sport with an 80 kWh battery (23% larger than the Bolt battery) would still be appealing, even with its higher price.
Ocean sport is a super sweet deal. The Bolt is a great deal with the lower price. I’m waiting to see if the Bolt sells well. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Yeah, and that Bolt is ugly AF
My friend works at a test track and has not seen Fisker. So I have large doubts on them getting vehicles on the road in 2022. Although there are serval tracks in the US and CA. He has seen Karma in the past and currently sees the Teslas. Not sure if Fisker has supplied proof to comply with FMVSS.
They are testing it now in Austria. I do not think the production model has been finalized. I’ll be sure to release an update if more is known. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Excellent video, just made my reservation yesterday.
Thank you very much for watching! Cheers!
Thanks for the video! I think interior specs are important to know prior to ordering. I recently went to put in an order for an EV6 GTLine and, thankfully, the dealership happened to have one there to sit in because the reduced headspace in that trim ended up being a deal-breaker for me.
It'd be nice to be able to get all the features of the extreme trim without the solar sky roof. I live in Seattle, so I'm not even sure what the sun looks like most of the year 😂
I drove a Wind AWD EV6 and headroom was okay. I’m sorry that the GT line doesn’t have as much. I wish you could pick your features a la crate for the ocean. I bet a lot of people would be more satisfied that way. Can’t wait to sit in it. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I’m 4’11” and I need to be able to see over the dashboard without having to sit on a pillow. My Subaru has excellent visibility, and the seats raise high enough for me. This would be a deal breaker for me so need to be able to sit in car and do a test drive before buying.
Totally understandable. I hope the test drives are available soon. And that there’s plenty of seat customization available, as well. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Rivian's experience trying to open a public showroom in Miami should be a lesson for Fisker. There's plenty of red tape and regulations in every state. You simply can't just open up wherever and whenever.
This is true! It’s always hard to manage different rules/laws in each jurisdiction. Great point, thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Test drive is a must. The seat comfort is very important
Understandable. I’m waiting for the Ultra. Hopefully by then I’ll get my hands on one. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Yes, I always test drive a car before I buy it and have test driven many that I ended up not driving because of visibility and comfort.
I Understand. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
people just put too high standard for a new startup like Fisker and comparing withTesla / Volvo/ Lucid... Fisker is still trying to push it first car out of the door. After that, he can focus on something else. This coming 5 months is a make-or-break kind of period to focus on leasing Centers, updating photos, or merchandise. All low priority kinds of stuff.
I think they will deliver on the ocean. I agree that manufacturing, supply and logistics should be the focuses until the production process is nailed down. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
The main red flag for me is Fisker’s previous poor track record with the Karma. We used to call those “resume stains”.
We will see if they learned from their mistakes. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Biggest red flag for me... Would be the recent delays for the summer of 2022 events and demos. From my understanding, Fisker was planning to have an action packed summer (California mode obvi). With press, hype, demos, There was even talks of a One preorder holder event to come out and get to see the car and drive it, sorta like the events Tesla holds. All of that was canceled by what seems to be severe software issues and delays. Their app not being updated in a long time is maybe part of that? The software to run the car, its systems (battery management, etc.) is not slated to be ready until October. A week or so before production start. I am seriously worried about delays for 2022. When you have most automakers struggling with the software, that does not look like a good sign to cancel the summer launch stuff and hype build. Like you said, going Viral and making it big takes a big wow moment to happen. I feel Fisker lost this summer due to software issues.
Curiously, I decided to go check out Glassdoor to see if there were any signs of internal "working for Fisker" insight from current and previous employees. I was surprised at the disfunction that appears to be all over the company. Which is extra worrying when big delays are announced and deadlines are so tight for really everything that runs the car.
EDIT* - The disfunction reported by Glassdoor do not suggest there isn't talent in Fisker. Only that Henrik and Geeta sound like tyrants. It is of course hard to trust those sorts of things 100%, because of retaliation from upset or fired employees. However, all the negatives had pretty much the same message, which tends to land true for companies I have ever worked for, and the negatives collected from employer reviews.
Thanks for the Info. They are in the thick of it now, they have $5000 from 5000 people. Time to see if they can deliver. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
@@Aslash304 Nice! Did you get word of Fisker selling out of the Ones? I thought that would be a hard sell to get 5000 like that. Perhaps that does reflect well on at least the demand side for what they are building.
I figured the vast majority of preorders would be for the Sport and Ultra (including fleet orders). $75k is a lot of money, and there are a lot of options in that price bracket. selling out 5000 One's means that 10% of their entire preorder backlog are willing to commit a minimum of 5k. That could bode well. I imagine that there will be lots of extremes available once they get done with the One. I don't know how much demand for the extreme there will be in current orders. Why wouldn't you get the One if you wanted the extreme?
@@Kenbark42 I don’t know how many Fisker Ocean One Preorders have been completed. I just know they are collecting payments from people. The first model of any car is the most likely to have fit and finish issues, also the terms of the preorder state that the software features will likely be incomplete. I would wait for the extreme to get a better shot at solid fit and finish, and updated software.
l still haven't found a video or article that shows the cargo and rear seat configuration. Do the rear seats fold down flat ? If so what are the interior cargo area dimensions ? Besides being an all electric car with good range, interior space is the most important to me, or I would just by a car with a trunk.
Rear seat information is not available. I’m pretty sure they haven’t nailed down the supplier or they would have already released it. I hope they let us know soon, Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
i personally would like to see the crash test. That could be a deal breaker for me .
Very good point! Safety is a huge consideration. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Problem is with car startups, especially overseas ones, is lack of centers (aka, dealerships) to test drive them. Definitely a leap of faith for a lot of people.
I agree. Reserving any car that doesn’t exist yet is a leap of faith. Fisker is based in Los Angeles, CA. The Ocean will be manufactured by Magna Steyer in Austria. The Fisker PEAR will be manufactured in Michigan by Foxconn. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I have to test drive all my cars, new or used.
Also didn't Fisker go bankrupt a few years ago?
Yes they did go bankrupt. That company, Fisker, which manufactured the Fisker Karma, was sold to a Chinese company that still produces an iteration of that car. The company was restarted to produce EVs only, Fisker, Inc. Thanks for your feedback, cheers!
I've always bought used - only one car has ever come from me actually visiting a dealership. One other was bought long-distance from a dealership. Having a physical store to pass each car through just is not needed.
I agree. Thanks for the feedback, Cheers!
Yes there is one spec that's a deal maker/breaker for me, and that's luggage capacity.
The Ocean should have ample luggage space, but it seems to be smaller than the likes of a Tesla Model Y. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
All good points. I want to know the head cleance also especially the rear.
Let’s hope they release some more info soon!
I am one of teh first few hundred reservation holders and will have access to the One. My concern is the $5k down unseen - my biggest concern though is I have no idea what the screen UI is. Bad UI is a deal-breaker for me. I have the Polestar 2 Launch edition and it is riddled with small issues and getting it serviced is near impossible.
Great point! Can’t wait to find out myself. Cheers!
Just wanted to know how the UI looks like then I make a reservation.
Very legitimate concern. It is unfortunate that they have not shown this yet. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Great video!! Good job!
Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I'm kinda nervous and never owned an ev and this will be my first of getting an ev.
Thanks for watching! It’s a beautiful car, and I think it will be a First EV for many. Can’t wait til more comes out on it. Cheers!
yes its a deal breaker, dont buy a car with out testing it, It's like marrying a woman without knowing her
I hope they let reservation holders have test drives. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Biggest RED flag, The Fisker Karma was trash. Body styling looked good but it was not sturdy and had no support to fix any issues. unreliable expensive and not a thrilling ride experience.
Agreed. Hopefully the manufacturing experience of Magna Steyer will help. It will be interesting to see. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Headroom is an issue for me I’m 6’5 my kids are over 6 feet as well. So headroom and leg room will be critical. Was thinking about getting a Tesla model Y but like the features of Fisker so far, just need more info before I reserve one.
I hope it’s got enough room for tall folks. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I’d like to just see a working prototype, or anyone test driving it.
The Fisker Instagram has a decent amount of testing footage. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I was wondering if you know if ventilated front seats are going to be an option. My mom’s RAV4 has ventilated and heated front seats and they are absolutely needed.
Fisker hasn’t confirmed that yet. I’ll let you know if they do. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I found we have a repair center here in UAE fisker ocean
Thanks for the info, Cheers!
I am 6'6 so yes headroom mattters.
I understand, I hope they publish the stats soon. Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Did Fisker learn from his past failures? I will say it appears he's going down the same path. Time will tell. Wanna bet on it, either buy their stock or short it.
Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Do you have an idea about the fisker lease program? More specifically which trim level does the 3k down , $379 a month apply to? What are your thoughts on the lease program in general? Thanks!
I’m 99% sure that lease price is for the Sport model only, and it will be a long time before they are solvent enough as a company to launch it. I would want to keep the car for a long time, so in my opinion the lease is a little steep, considering there’s no buyout, you just pay that fixed amount forever. Great question, thanks for your comment, Cheers!
@@Aslash304 I don't think the lease is that steep and with 30,000 miles a yr, you can't bet that. Look at ice cars if you lease them yeah payments might be little lower but with less mileage a yr ( 12,000 or 15,000 ) then after that is what $.20 or $.25 a mile that can add up once you turn your car in.
@@harold1901 the lease over the first 5-7 years is a good deal. And 30,000 is a ton of miles.
@@Aslash304 Even though I have never leased a car, with Ocean I would think that is the only way to go. The brand is untested and at least with the lease, you have warranty and a way to get out. Also, the whole auto industry is changing and I dont want to be tied to Fisker if it turns out to be a dud like Karma was.
Unable to lease the Ocean one is my understanding.
Yes I do like the ev very nice and also I have never test drive a car yet, I like it and just buy it.
Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Does Fisker have seat warmer/cooler ? that is a deal breaker.
The Ocean One and Extreme will have heated seats, the other two trims are not confirmed yet if they will be an option or be part of the winter package. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I just want to know if I can get my car by early 2023 or not ... :)
Let’s hope things come to light in July. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
I still don’t know if the Ocean comes with adjustable battery regen rate that can be altered whilst in motion via flappy paddle controls. If the regen rate has to be selected via the touch screen prior to commencing a journey; I will find that inconvenient and misses a trick. If the Ocean doesn’t have this feature, I won’t buy it. If a test drive isn’t possible before committing to purchase; how willI know all the features work in a manner that is to my liking? I won’t commit to buy it without a test drive.
I understand. If you’re using the Ocean as a daily driver, there are definitely features that would make it inconvenient. Can’t wait til all the stats are released. Fingers crossed for flappy paddles! Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Hi. I have to return my 2019 Honda Accord in September, and I would like to order the Fisker Ocen Sport, the problem is that they may not be delivered this year, I could wait a month or 2 without a car because I do not drive much. If I cancel my order, does anyone know if they would return the deposit? Thank you.
Fisker keeps 10%. $225 would be returned. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
You can extend your Honda lease by another 6 months, just call Honda financial to consult...
@@howie4206 I didn't know that I could extend the lease for a longer time. Thanks for the tip.
EV Manufacturing has become so much cheaper that I think there is a good chance Fiscar Ocean will be released at some point. but not sure if they can stay in business for a long time. Elon Musk is much more hard worker and smarter than your average EV company CEO 🙂.
Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Tesla killa!!!!!!!!!
I think Tesla will continue. I like Any company that makes it to production with a compelling competitor. If this one succeeds, it could indeed be good competition. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
@@iannealcole thanks for watching! Gotta let me know how that Lucid Drives, they look awesome! Cheers!
350 miles its a go either way let's get it
If the EPA shows anything close to 350 it’s a no brainer, and will be very competitive. I’m with you 100%, thanks for your comment, Cheers!
why is the camera zoom in and out periodically....? makes me dizzy. Still a Like for good information.
I’ll try to do better. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Will I get my $250 if when time comes, I dont want to get the car?
The refund is $225. They keep 10% If you cancel. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
Im just concerned of scams
Rightfully so, they haven’t made it easy to believe they will deliver everything they promise. I hope they do, but skepticism is healthy til people start getting their cars. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!
@@Aslash304 Im going to wait a year and see what happens
Fisker is a habitual liar. There is no way the production starts in time when he doesn't even have a working prototype right now. It's ridiculous.
Is this a working prototype or CGI? instagram.com/p/CeEbK5eMlDT/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
He’s got like 6 of them and a bunch more on the line at Magna Steyer just waiting to get the shizit kicked out of them on the test tracks for final production specs.
@@memyselfundeye he couldn't show just one at the reveal. Uhaus a huge red flag.
