​@@nrakma The only thing about Fisker that resembles Ferrari is the poor management and reliability issues. On paper, Ferrari is a shitty company building lemons. The only thing that keeps them going is prestige and flat out beautiful designs. Many of the high end European marques have been banking on their prestige for decades. That is not something easily transferred to a startup EV company.

Yay, two of my favorite EV personalities together again. I observed OG's journey through his videos and it is tragic that the car is well-liked by the owners it's just that the company did terrible. Sad situation.

Thanks Brian. I'm not a Fisker fan, but I feel for you man. Totally cool that you shared your story. And thank you Francine for bringing this topic to YT.

I've had my 2023 Volvo XC40 for over a year and a half. It has become my favorite car . It is well loved by everyone that owns it.

One of the lessons one could take from the situation with Fisker is that you should not purchase vehicles that don't have the features - either software or hardware - that you paid for.

I love my Ocean and I'm keeping mine until it no longer runs. There is an owner community that wants to looking into the software/hardware/parts to keep the cars running. Still unclear of the dealerships will get the ability to service the car if/when the company shuts down.

Everyone and their mother saw this coming.

Except the buyers of these Fiskers. What were they thinking? Much wiser move would have been to buy a Tesla.

I don't care if the investors are financially hurt, it is the owners who are really hurt the most. These cars are gonna be worth nothing now.

I had a Fisker reservation, but when.they demanded $5k to guarantee delivery of the first 5k cars I stopped paying attention.

Love the discussion thank you! Concerned about using the term investment, buying a depreciating asset isn’t really an investment. As you all discussed taking a risk with a startup is more of a gamble on the leadership. I was going to take the risk and get one too - but when I researched the leadership team and gaps, like many others - I bailed.

Smart move. Wish I had taken a closer look at the Executive team & the board, as well as trusted my intuition related to their lack of transparency. The signs were there in hindsight. ...& you're 100% correct about using the term investment related to buying an EV...

Thanks Brian for sharing your story. I'll check in with your channel. Looks like you're an EV expert owner!

What Brian mentioned about the software goes back to one of Kyle's posts about at what point is a car considered okay to sell. For Tesla or the other legacy companies they can generally get away without all the features and software bc people feel confident they'll exist. In the case of Fisker they didn't deliver on all the software at release and unfortunately those owners will likely never get that software or features.

The EV industry is really still in it's infancy. Let's not forget that at the dawn of the 20th century there were dozens of automakers that came and went over the years and today only a handful of domestic manufacturers remain. Fisker isn't the first and won't be the last. Those that can deliver a compelling product that consumers want at a price they can afford and can execute at scale and be profitable will survive. That is the invisible hand at work in a capitalist economy as it should be.

And this is exactly why I bought an Audi Q8 Etron. At least I know if I run into issues, Audi isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Tough with all the startups. I love Rivian, but still too soon for me to commit.

We had the XC40 - Recharge.....sorry to say, it was the worse EV experience we ever had. The tCAM had to be replaced 2 times in 2 months. One time the car died at work...wouldn't charge, couldn't unlock it. FInall got it to charge but had to drive it to the dealer in "SOS" mode (their suggestion). They had it for 5 days and for the next 6 months (before we sold it to get the R1T), my wife refused to drive it because she didn't want to risk being stranded. At 100% charge I was lucky to get to work (145 miles away). I regularly had to stop and charge (luckily that was free from EA). This was a 2022 model.

This felt like beating a dead horse. It should have been a 10 minute obituary of Fisker. When you gamble, sometimes you loose.

2025 Note holder - absolutely was a predatory lender. That was a very accurate description.

I own an Ocean One and it's fully paid off. As of now, I'm holding on to it....I don't see another option. If I want a car with the same features I would pay about the same all over again. Unfortunately it was a risk I took and it's what you get when you take a chance with a newly built company. Crossing fingers that I don't get in an accident. If it continues working as it currently does I'm happy with it - really don't have any issues and the ones I have had are so minor that they resolved within 24 hours. 360 miles per charge is also something I love and the design is amazing. It's a beautiful car. Makes no sense for me to sell it for cheap just to buy something that hopefully has the same features....it is what it is and insurance is still there. It's just a car after all...

This poscast made me fall into deep depression. I no longer want to go to the gym. (model Y owner)

There certainly will be shops to support owners moving forward. The questions are to what level beyond mechanical? They Fisker Ocean was built in Austria, so the supply chain for parts is likely not readily available in the US. Also, so much of what's needed is software support and we're dealing with proprietary software code. So some will have limited support if in proximity to a specialized shop, but most will be on their own to a large extent.

One more thing about Lucid: On the engineering side, WOW, it seems excellent, and Reviewers like Car and Driver for example, love it. Watching Munro tear it down and talk about it, it does seem like they could use a better battery design, although they can acquire a new battery & subsystems to rectify that at any time. Their chassis, overall design, and especially the mechanical transmission are all awesome. ....

There are two important differences between Lucid and Fisker. Lucid owns their technology and its first rate. Fisker owns nothing, it all comes from Magna. All Fisker has is some styling and unlike the first go around with the Karma, which is still a striking vehicle even 12 years later, the Ocean is just another SUV and all SUVs look alike. The other big difference is that Lucid is backed by the Saudis who have very deep pockets. They are getting a second chance with the Gravity. If the Gravity doesn't sell then Peter Rawlinson will have something to worry about because the Saudis have a history of chopping people who upset them into very small pieces.

Ive been looking at reviews since the ocean was announced, and with evs being less mechanically complicated, more people can upload reviews, but no one talks about anything that matters. Yes i see the interior, yes i see the windows, the screen that flips from landscape to portrait. But what no one talks about is how the battery holds up, how is the suspension. If something goes wrong, what can i use to repair it with? Im thinking of jumping in on an ocean if i can get one for sub 15k, maybe its just a waiting game and just convincing a dealer to eat the loss and let it go. What are the chances fisker bricks all vehicles if they go completely under? Why cant a fisker be turned into a dumb battery car, i charge it and it goes. I dont want over the air updates for the stupid screen software.

Wait to end to see how fisker company will be bought by one of Fissker chairmans . This is a way to refuse almost investors.

ITS NOT OVER YET

Disappointing news! I'm sure the Ocean will look nice here in California at the Peterson Automotive Museum some day, parked right next to the Tucker.

It's interesting how American customers are time-weak and accept unfinished products. If the product does not have the ordered specifications upon delivery, do not take it over or sue the company if it does not accept a refund. Until you start fighting these scammers, nothing will change.

Freewire also out of business this week.

Fool me once, shame on me.... fool me twice, wont get fooled again! At first I was honestly shocked people bought into this company. Then I was shocked that it was still going. The downfall... not so shocking.

Still waiting for the Alpha Wolf. 😅

I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my EV, however you might call it a 2/3 EV 1/3 hybrid. I researched for about 3 months and back 3 years ago pure EV ranges were in the mid 200 miles per charge or less. I got 2020 BMW i3s REX which I thought was horrible looking. Since I drive an extremely cool 1992 BMW 850i which gets very bad gas mileage being a 12 cyl I wanted to eliminate some stopping at gas stations. BUT I did not want to have to stop for electric within 220-230 miles and have the 30+ min wait to charge up. Also WOW did we get lucky. Coming back from California to Phoenix there are only 2 charging opportunities. On New Years day we were on the route and charging spot 1 had a 3 car wait. I pressed the button that clicks on a 2.3 gallon engine that maintains the high voltage state of charge with a generator and continued on. Next charging station even more of a wait. Instead of electric I topped off the gas and kept going. So, I can do approv 170 miles on electric and 80 miles in hybrid mode, plus 80 plus 80 plus 80 if I want to or need to keep getting gas. It's pretty genius. I heard a tumor that a future release of the Cybertruck will have this range extender capability. It's cool to have the financial benefits of 170 of home charging inexpensive electric and the luxury of no range anxiety.

All these EV startups failing will make it very hard for the ones that follow to get investors. On the other hand, too much money is why these companies fail. They don't have to delivery products to get paid. The executive teams rake in the cash even if they go bankrupt. They were hoping for the big win to become Billionaires, but will just settle for failure and become millionaires instead. So sad for them. NOT

Good reason not to but an EV, or any car, from a company that is not profitable, or has no clear path to profitability, no matter how good the car. I'm looking at you Lucid.

and to think if Apple just waited and not waste $10 billion on EV research then cancel the project. They could have just bought Fisker for pennies on the dollar. They could pick up all the assets for less than $1 billion and since they are a software company, they could have just redo the software from the ground up and have their own nice EV.

I was considering buying a Rivian. This is one of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger. There's no guarantee that these startup EV companies will remain viable. That's not a good place to be in if the company goes bankrupt. Too much risk....

Some misunderstanding this is Chapter 11 not Chapter 7 , it allows them to continue to help customers. Yes agreed until the money runs out , but Chapter 7 would have meant an immediate shut of the doors. Sad that many don't understand the process.

They are different battery types. Just because lithium is an ingredient, does not mean they are the same. Like champagne vs champagne vinegar vs a mimosa. And cell phones don't go dead if left in the car, or on a charger--if the charger is built properly. Most are not, sadly. Cold? See what happens to diesel if you fill up in Louisiana and go to Montreal in the winter. It turns to jello in the fuel lines, and must be thawed out before the vehicle can be used again. It isn't as neat and simple as you might think.

Yawn…. It’s painful to listen to this guy ramble while she struggles to get a word in edgewise during an interview.

Did you look at the history of the founder before you bought this crap car? Just asking? Another Tesla killer bites the dust.

Why would u buy a car from a big failed auto marker like Fisker ? Dump your EVs while u can get something for them $$. Gas oil costs plummeting now . None will want disposable EVs soon unless they can pump oil prices with a big $$ WAR

Dumb to buy a Chinese owned gheely Volvo. It’s not the same Volvo. It’s Chinese now.

It's Geely and China cars are way better than a load of brands

XC40 Recharge was built in Belgium and I'm happy with it for now. I hope you do similar research on all your purchases and investments to ensure none are Chinese owned.

What did you receive for it in trade? What could you have purchased the Volvo for without a trade to really know what they gave for the ocean?
