π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean My Fu$%*ng Fisker Nightmare is finally over, but in a very lucky way!
You're not going to belive this, but 6 weeks ago, my wife barely NOT MISSED a sudden hail storm which cracked the solor roof. Seemed like a bad thing at the time. Not so as it turned out. . . . . . I turned it in as a Comprehensive claim to my issurance company. Of course, no new solar roofs available and they had to Total the car, and because it was less than a year old (and I had New Car Replacement), Safeco/Liberty Mutual is paying out nearly my entire purchase of the FFOO!
Turned around and bought a Kia EV9 for about the same price. The EV9 is everything the FOO was promissed, and much, much more. It's a WAY BETTER car. It even came with two key fobs and an RFID card! And you know why it is a better car . . . . IT JUST FU$%*NG WORKS!

Picked up my Fisker
Hi together,
As promised picked up my Fisker today.
And yes give me some time sind a video review will come.
Anyhow the car is fantastic, drives superb..the quality is for my opion great. You feel also that Fisker goes other ways as the old industry and I like how the have rethought the whole car concept.
There still some bugs what needs to be updated over the next week about software but they said it straight and I believe it.
Again the power the habtic the build quality is really well done.
People been asking if it feels a bit low quality and now they not. Seats are great really well.done. Sure they use also plastic inside from recycling but thats cool.
The sound system is judt outstanding absolutely powerful and also phone calls a great to do.
I was driving German highway and it used about 25kwh per 100km / 63 miles but please see we can drive as fast we like. So I would say if you drive more carefull ut uses less then 20kwh.
Again I dry to go trough all your questions with an video when I habe the time on the weekend and upload it.
The car is really nice!!

π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean Message From American Lease
Hi all, first time Reddit post but we at American Lease are trying to be as mindful as possible of what the Ocean owners pool has gone, and is going through: hence this message to the group.
We have been waiting to get final court approval to purchase the stock of US spec Oceans and today that sale order was authorized. It is our intention to collaborate with the Fisker Owners Association to create a universally beneficial pipeline of parts as well as technical and mechanical support. There is much to build, learn and figure out in the coming days, but will will accomplish all that needs to be.
We are not in the business of dealing with individual retail customers and have traditionally functioned as a commercial fleet manager. As such, I encourage you to join the FOA as they will be our singular point of contact with the general public for the time being. The managing members have all Ocean owners best interests at heart and there is truly strength in size and scale.
We look forward to joining the ranks of the Ocean owners.
Best, Team American Lease

π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean Meetup in Atlanta
Attended the meet up in Atlanta. According to the dealer, they have sold approximately 80% of the inventory with 15 cars available. So just over 90 cars in Atlanta with 15 remaining.
He said the dealers are trying to take over servicing the cars, but that Fisker currently will not allow that. He didnβt have a good reason why. He says he has the technicians but no way to collect for warranty work from Fisker.
He also said that he was told by Fisker that they have restarted production of the 2024 models. States that the fire sale on these cars mustβve generated enough income to stabilize the situation. Also, it has shown that there is interest in the car. I will believe that when I see it.

π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean Sayonara and good day!!
Today is a great day, but more of a weight off my shoulder and on to the next! Shutting the door and not looking back! The POS Fisker car is off to haunt somebody else. I got 8500 miles out of it in less than 2 years, 7 of those months it was a brick, but it probably took away 5 years of my life! I fought and got the settlement I deserved, but man it wasnβt easy. Now I own a 1983 Porsche 911 Targa SC and a 2024 Toyota 4Runner Limited that I drove home today as the FOE was getting ready to be towed as a brick. Good riddance, Iβll never look at an EV until my next life. There is a small place in hell for the Fisker family, karma (pun intended) is coming for you! Iβm so content with my 180 move and burning gas!!

Fisker Ocean Spotted an Ocean on my drive home last night
Driving on the 15 south on the way to Temecula. I'm new to this sub but have been following Fisker for a while now and was excited to spot one. Was surprised to see how small it was. Probably the size of a rav4-ish..

I honestly can't think of another car that ticks all the boxes like the ocean does. It's far from perfect, but it's the only car I want.

π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean I F@&#ing Love This Car
Just got done driving from Phoenix to Vegas for a conference then back to Phoenix. This car is just so much fun. Even with the absolutely terrible roads between Phoenix and Vegas, it's a joy to drive and really performed well even just being a Sport. Only two issues I still get is the Driver Attention Unavailable warning every 30 minutes or so(even when the feature is turned off) and the charge port is open warning when it's definitely not. I think the Sport trim is the best option for this car in it's current state. I think they really nailed it with this one. Nearly 4 months in, almost 5,000 miles, I love it.
Now if we can just get more charging stations out in the middle of nowhere. I know that's asking a lot. Here's hoping we eventually get on that Tesla Supercharging list before the end.

General Got rid of my Fisker Ocean
Finally did it. Got rid of my Fisker Ocean Ultra yesterday after having it for 18 stressful months and 11,800 miles. The highs and lows of owning it was volatile.
And I lost quite a bit of money in FSR shares due to Henrikβs lies and fake pumping.
Was very happy to take the Option 2 payout and broke even - but was able to claim the $7.5K EV tax refund so I actually came out ahead in that part.
Good riddance! And absolute waste of my time.

π Vehicle - Fisker Ocean So you're thinking of buying an Ocean. Here's what you should know. Read before you post the question.
Let's face it. There have been a lot of posts looking for info lately, and the typical response is "read the forum" While that's valid, I'm going to attempt to summarize and link a lot of recent posts to bring the information together. Hope it is useful.
First question is the Fisker Ocean a good car? Yes and No.
The Yes:
A lot of first drive reviews praise the Ocean's performance, good looks and interesting features like California mode
First Drive Review: 2024 Fisker Ocean | U.S. News (usnews.com)
As an owner I find this personally accurate. I often drive it 100 miles in a day and generally it has very nice road manners, comfortable seats, and the like.
The range is very good for the Ocean, and isn't very exaggerated from stated claims.
Range Tested: The Fisker Ocean Pushes Into Edmunds' Top 10 | Edmunds
It's also a quirky vehicle. Things like the taco tray take up room in the center console, but provide a place to eat or work while charging. There are tons of Easter Eggs! in it, like a surfer on the door handle and one on the solar roof. It's got personality.
It was built by a well established company, Magna Steyr, based upon another platform the ArcFox Alpha T. Mechanically it makes many of the components more well tested than others (those that Fisker lifted directly have had years in the field)
If you own one, you'll never have to wonder if it's your car in the parking lot. That's not true with a certain other ev manufacturer that has 4 car models made in 5 colors since production inception.
The No:
There are a number of issues with the car, most or all of which will likely never get fixed. Some are common, some less so.
Common issues:
The key fob is worst in class. Even with attempts to improve it. It eats batteries. Frequently won't unlock without multiple presses. There's no proximity sensor. And you'll only get one. Phone as key was promised as there were apparent attempts to roll out keycards. The reality of this is up for debate, but at the very least might get better.
Key fob woes; Edmunds (@edmundscars) on Threads : r/Fisker (reddit.com)
Vents break frequently, especially on early cars. Personally, my far passenger vent is the only broken one so far, but it is very common.
Air Vents stuck, need help : r/Fisker (reddit.com)
Driver Air Vent Stuck : r/Fisker (reddit.com)
The chances of the vents getting fixed by the company are basically zero.
There is a very serious issue with a water pump used to cool the battery. This was apparently not sealed well and can short circuit and put the car into limp mode.
What's the lowdown on the coolant pump issue I see being mentioned? : r/Fisker (reddit.com)
Fisker to recall about 7,500 Ocean electric SUVs over water pump issue, NHTSA says (msn.com)
This is on the agenda to be repaired before the company goes Ch 7, but the reality of touching 7500 or so cars in 3 weeks seems a bit hopeful.
There are plenty of other issues that have been noted, from the Doggie Window Stuck Open which can only be fixed by a tech, to Frozen Maps - The 12v battery has also frequently had issues, and access to it isn't as easy as popping the hood, because even that was never meant to be user serviceable. YMMV on getting anything fixed.
Second Question - What happens when fisker ceases to exist?
For all intents and purposes, Fisker is gone. It's just when they make the burial. Current agreement says they go Ch7 Aug 19 Fisker Ch7 Conversion Date To do so they said they would roll out pump repairs and OS 2.2. After that date there are a few knowns:
There will be no warranty or company to service these cars. There will be no dealers or techs. Everything will be independents and on the car owners dime.
To repair one of these cars for anything complicated requires a proprietary tool called FAST. There is little clarity on who will have access to this in the future.
We are fortunate to have a group of people who have banded together to stand up for owners rights - Fisker Owners Association (fiskeroa.com). Even in CH 7 there is a commitment to work with the group. Count on ponying up some dough to join.
Motor trend had an excellent run down on Fisker Is Bankrupt. What Happens To Fisker Ocean EV Owners Now? (motortrend.com). It covers a lot of things from connectivity to updates and the lack of parts. It's been updated once and I suspect will be again after the most recent news.
Final Question - So should I buy the Ocean or not?
This is one that I think is up to personal situations and risk tolerance.
The price of the Ocean right now makes all of us that paid full price weep. There's no doubt it is a tempting value.
However, realize that what you're getting is it. There's no guarantee of future updates (and in fact they are unlikely), and some future issue could arise that could take it offline with little or no notice. Insurance could be an issue, as getting them repaired has led to situations where Minor Damage totalled out the car. That's not an equation that insurance likes.
If you have a large risk tolerance, access to another car, and money to burn, maybe it's worth it.
If you're willing to live with what is delivered today, with no future support. Maybe.
If you're running a museum of worst run businesses ever, totally buy it.
If you need it for a daily driver. Don't.
If you're getting it because with the price drop its now affordable. Don't
If this was too long for you to read and you post another thread about it. Totally buy it. You get what your lack of diligence will deserve.
If you read all of this and still said - I can live with that for XXX dollars. Nice job - you made it. Welcome to The Forlorn Hope Now join the fisker OA and become a part of FISKER_MAINTENANCE (reddit.com)
