The one thing not mentioned yet (tho I’m sure will be talked about in the 2000 mile test) is that ridiculous 500 boosts limit. No other car in this segment has a limiter on the amount of times you can get max power from your motors. Like not even an explanation as to why from fisker. It’s very concerning

Thanks for your early review. I’ve had my Fisker Ocean One for two months, 1,600 miles and have zero major issues. Just as you review said, some warning lights come and go, but are resolved quickly with a soft reset-similar to how we turn off/on the smart phone. The software update 2.0 has resolved most of the warning problems. The features on the car are incredibly unique-the new software shows how much energy the SolarSky roof has generated and is actively generating. The build is top quality, and the look beyond sexy! Hope folks continue to give the car a look.

They are going out of business lmao. Don't buy it.

I've had my ocean since January with version 1.11 and only had a few ADAs errors in the beginning. Much less frequent now for whatever reason. It's my daily driver car and I have had no reliability issues like the supposedly common dead 12volt battery or dying in the middle of the road thing. I do have some annoyances with it currently, which is the loud fan noise from the rear view mirror and the rear passenger light coming on and off randomly, which will be fixed with replacement part that's currently in back order. The fan noise went away after 2.0 part 1 update. I've driven a Tesla and Polestar 2 before, their software is definitely smoother and more responsive. Fisker's software is a bit laggy and I hope that improves with future updates. The regen is definitely better in the Tesla and Polestar. The regen on the Fisker with the default highest setting is jerky if you're not use to it but once you adapt to controlling it, it becomes second nature. It's otherwise a good car. I enjoy driving the car and people in my building compliments it. Just doesn't help that if they research it, all they're going to see is bad press, which is very likely the cause for the poor sales. All the bashers and trolls that have nothing better to do don't know what they're talking about and just echoing MKHBD and so are all the other crap youtubers that are trying to piggy back off his name to get views, (Tailosive EV and salomondrin to name a few). It's a shame that some bigger power out there doesn't want this company to survive.

How often you really want to rotate? I knew nobody living in the car, watching TV while eating and such things... You can adjust it as you like an that's it.

I really like the roll down rear quarter windows, and also the roll down rear hatch window. Very cool. I also like the "taco tray". Why on earth has nobody done that before. The in-dash electronics is where things are not very promising.

did you do a soft reset of the car as is needed to clear the system? takes like two minutes? another KZread Ocean owner reported most of these glitch issues are fixed simply with a soft reset of system.

CR, the Ocean has a small learning curve. Also, if any light stays on for any length of time, simply do a soft reset by pressing the two inner most buttons on the steering wheel at the same time for 20 seconds. We love our Ocean. It's fast, fun, and amazing. A little quirky, but I love that too. It sure stands out in a crowd and is brutally fast in fun and hyper mode.

I own a Fisker Ocean One. Best car to drive that I've had. And I've driven BMW X5, X7, Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The build quality is great and I've had no issues with it. The software updates are coming, so I'm not worried. It's a fantastic car.

A very fair review. I have had my Ocean since October and I absolutely love it, zero regrets. It is the best car I have ever driven. Yes there are lights that come and go but it is greatly improving with each update. I wish you mentioned the “glove box” under seat storage and over 100 lbs of recycled materials in the car. The lack of leather is supposed to be “greener”. Again, thank you for the fair update!

06:40 custom settings returning to factory defaults is one of my biggest complaints. Every time a tester mentions how a car's set-up can be set to one's liking, my - unanswered = question is, well, once I set it the way I like, does it stay that way, or do I have to go thru that procedure every time I get back behind the wheel. I wished testers would spare a moment and point out if personalized settings stay or default to factory specs every time the car is turned off.

I bet this gonna be gonna be one of the most viewed reviews on consumer report , alresdy 20k views after 24 hrs

Awesome Video..... What replacement tire(s) would recommend? Should we stay with Bridgestone tires or consider another tire? Also where would suggest to get the tires rotated at (Discount Tire or Sams Club or Costco)? Thanks in advance. P.S. Also how often should be rotate our EV Tires?

I purchased an Ocean One about two months ago. It is true that its software has been glitchy, but has been improving with each update. I have had Mercedes, BMW and Lexus for years. Two of my close friends, my brother-in-law and my niece have Tesla (Model 3, Model Y, and Model S). When I compare Fisker with these cars, it feels more like a BMW. It has a solid build, a luxary feel when you drive it, and of course its great look. All these are missing in Tesla, specially in Model Y and 3. These Tesla models feel/look cheap and plasticy. Perhaps, Fisker came our prematurely as far as its software is concerned. But people tend to forget how Tesla, with its current superior software, was in its early days with ton of glitches and imperfections. Now, one may ask why does Fisker, as a company, have such a hard time if it has such a good product? Well, apart from more competitive environment that fisker is now facing, economic situation is very different than the early days of Tesla. Specifically, capital market is in horible condition. Tesla enjoyed the near zero interest rates during the Obama admin. Easy access to capital is very crucial for any startup!

Great review. It's entertaining and gets to the point.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

After owning my Fisker Ocean Ultra six months I noticed that when every I get in my Fisker in the morning in side my garage the temperature inside my car is very warm. Is this normal with all electric cars? - is the heat coming from the battery pack while sitting in my garage over night?

I have logged over 8300 miles on my Fisker Ocean since November 2023. The car is fun to drive, very comfortable, and exceptionally quiet. I received the latest Over-the-Air (OTA) software update to version 2.0 and the car is now even better. DC Fast Charging has been a good experience, especially when using ChargePoint and Electrify America chargers. If Fisker follows through with their April release of version 3.0, I will be very happy to have adaptive cruise control and better radar sensor programming.

Fantastic introduction to the car and know you'll find some gremlins but overall the car will be fine. Each manufacturer has some hiccups... but I love this car, the looks, the functionality etc and would love to see it in Australia soon! Look forward to your series about this car too.

My 2010 Mini cooper rolled down all windows and opened the sunroof by holding the unlock button. California Mode my big f@t butt.

Well said. It could be and adventure. I'm merely an enthusiast, but I'd assume that if someone owns an EV and they're into tech, they have patience when it comes to progress. Ev owners have a "Trust the process" mentality if you will.

I don't disagree with your take, but I think a lot of people who would even consider (much less buy) a Fisker are just in denial and/or borderline delusional. This isn't the same as spending $200 on a carry-on from a new luggage brand. This is spending $70K on something from a startup that could become a worthless paperweight in a couple years, and takes a mindset that I genuinely can't relate to and don't understand. More power to them if they can afford to take a risk like that, but I sure can't and wouldn't want to if I could.

Love the design and whole premise of the Ocean and really wishing Fisker well!

None of these issues about the software have negatively affected my driving experience with this FOO I received 6 months ago. After the 1.11 update many of these things disappeared. I think they are overblown. I know they will be corrected in the near future and in the meantime I drive this car everywhere and everyday enjoying the ride!

I love fisker ocean ❤

Fisker remains a revolutionary car, and Consumer Reports will help you purchase a Fisker.

This is the only EV i've ever seriously considered buying. The look is striking, and it's the best blend of late 20th century functionality and a modern technicality I've seen in one. Tech problems are just tech problems. I'd buy a 2023 for the collectability at this point. Cool review.

Bears and Shorts - knock it off. I have an Ultra and it's GREAT! I absolutely love it! Sure, software can be a little finicky but that'll be addressed via OTA updates. Everyday, when I take the car out, people stop in their tracks and smile, take out their phones to snap pictures. People have come up to me and asked about the Ocean. I'll be sharing it at an EV show next month. This company will make it - no worries. Fisker will partner with many of Japan's large OEMs and together, they'll come out stronger. Fisker is BETTER than Tesla for sure!

It sure is refreshing to hear someone using the word “unique” correctly. I can’t recall the last time that I’ve experienced this on KZread.

LOVE my Fisker. Drives amazing, nimble, and powerful. Software greatly improved with 2.0, very excited for future updates. Btw, Tesla is on update 12.3, so even they have to work on software. Have driven Tesla’s, Beemers, Lexus’. After 2000 on the mileage, the Fisker has them all beat hands down. Can’t wait to drive it. And the red on the heads up display is showing you when you are using energy, blue when regenerating. Same as the Ionic. Not irritating at all. Decent review, but take 3 more minutes to associate yourself with the car before doing a review.

I’m here bc I looked this car up after listening to the Justin Bieber 911 call 😅 Praying for Justin! We truly care and love him!

I have one of the first Ocean Sports in the states; I love the car, but it's certainly an adventure.

I've had my Ocean One since September and I really love this car. It is so much fun to drive - the hardware/finish is excellent and on par with my last Mercedes. The software sucks on the best of days, but I am hopeful that the 2.0 OTA update (and future updates) will address most of the main issues. You can more easily fix bad software - you can't fix bad hardware.

Great video. I sense your detailed testing, will be scientific, honest and unbiased. I am biased in that I love the car design, and really hope Fisker can continue as a car company. I agree (and it is a point lost recently in much commentary) ... Fisker have achieved an enormous amount to get this far re producing a new car. Re the vintage suit looking upholstery (and some older suits were surely made with the best fabric) ... the Ocean has a huge focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing.... so no leather.... and a very high amount of recycled and environmentally friendly materials...

Alas after this was filmed it appears that Fisker is in very serious trouble in terms of its potential survival. They are being sold off now at huge discounts. Unfortunate.

I see this more balanced

So Fisker just dropped pricing and the used car pricing is going in the crapper so to speak. $28k for a 2023 with 2270 miles. Anyone buying this new is insane…

The company's stock has been delisted and now trading at $.06 in OTC. Stock prices are at almost all-time low, dealers waiving destination fee, MSRP from 61,500 to 37,500, employees scavenging parts from pre-production models, and free additional options. Is the OS powered by Windows Vista? Which direction do you think the company is heading. At least Saturn had GM backing them up after being discontinued.

And hate it or love it, $100 dollars in Fisker stocks right NOW, could get u a nice chunk of money if the company survives these hard times.

Can Fisker fix the problems, produce units, and stay in business. NYSE is going to delist the stock.

I wonder why they don't update the software before doing the review. It seems to me that there is someone behind this bad publicity.

Why hasn't stellantis bought out fisker and correct the software. This would have been cheaper then starting from the ground up. Plus get dealer support through the stellantis network. Stellantis laid off 400 engineers.

Hi best friend!😀

Did you really eat a taco in a Fisker Ocean without using the taco tray??

It's okay CR--don't go all "MotorWeek" on us--you can tell us not to buy this car. Seems like a lot of the commentators love their Fiskers though? (seriously though, there's a LOT of love for Fisker in the comment section here. It's a little "fishy" or maybe "fisky?" haha) I'm not sure what it is about the design and materials use, but it LOOKS like I've seen the full-daylight behind the scenes footage from a prop-car that some sci-fi show would build and film in the rain and shadows and artfully light.
