I love my Fisker Ocean. I have had it now for 4 months, drove it to Florida from the north, and have 3,000 miles on it. As I learn the ins and outs of this car I love it more and more. Fisker, you have my support as you handle the bumps in the road. You have my support! My agenda is to see this company successful!

Ginny, the comparison to the EX30 in the dimensions is wrong, sorry it is nearly half a meter shorter, so obviously the legroom in the back is less... and yes I do use both glove box and frunk in my EV6! The latter for cables tow bar and dirty boots! I believe people would use it more if you could open it easier! And as for costs: I don't think that anyone would mind the few dollars pounds or € this piece of plastic would cost. If there is space under the hood I want to use it!

Couple of things. 1 the solar roof (in sunny California or similar) is claimed to add 1,500 miles of range per yr not the 150 miles Ginny stated. 2 while it’s a beautiful car it’s pretty heavy (up to 2.434 tonnes EU unladen) thanks to a very large battery pack, while regen is weak so I would wait for longer UK reviews to get a realistic picture of range and efficiency. Also worth noting a lot of software was sub optimal in early European deliveries esp for charger navigation. Definitely worth longer UK reviews and your own test drives.

Interesting comparison to the Evoque. My first thought was that the front looks very like the latest Evoque with the smaller headlights. The opening back window is interesting too. I once had a Mk1 Freelander. That had an opening window in the rear door. It was a waste of time as the fumes from the exhaust were drawn back into the cabin. Not an issue with an EV of course

It's an AWD SUV, so it'll be mainly driven around town? So what do people who live in the sticks drive? Sports cars? Yes, I use the glove box, and yes, I'd want a frunk to store the charging cables, rather than having to empty the boot area. Other than that, I love the doggy windows, and the opening tailgate window is a brilliant feature. An opening tailgate window makes BMW estates so practical. I was thinking of replacing my old AWD BMW diesel estate with a Model Y Long Range, but the Fisker may be the better choice. But... i can't find anywhere in Yorkshire to test-drive one.

@tribalypredisposed
@tribalypredisposed 9 месяцев назад
Yes, if people who live in the sticks want to get home, a decent list of sports cars literally have more ground clearance than the station wagon Fisker Ocean has. The Ocean has five inches of ground clearance, it is NOT an SUV or “crossover,” a category created by the Subaru Outback which has over eight inches of ground clearance. It is also really heavy so not great handling on curvy mountain roads and poor highway range, owners are saying below 250 miles. Combined with a huge battery pack and a lack of a good charging network, road trips might, or might not, work out okay.
@FangPaw
@FangPaw 9 месяцев назад
@@tribalypredisposed Very good points - assuming you live in the wilderness. In the UK, a lot of people live in small rural towns and villages, with at worst a muddy track to contend with, with maybe uncleared snow in the winter. I would guess a Fisker AWD would cope just fine. My AWD BMW 335D MSport Touring (ie wagon) has no problems in these settings (I use winter tyres). It weights over 1.8 tonnes, so a bit lighter than a Fisker, but not by a huge margin.

I use the frunk on my Mustang Mach-E all the time. Mainly to put food in so it doesn't stink up the cabin. But I think it's a better place to put things like groceries. Less space for it roll around in. I also use my glove box for document storage for insurance and registration. The trays seem too small to be very useful. I do love the solar roof even if it doesn't provide much extra range. Great video.

Theres alot to like about the Fisker Ocean, one being these are made in Austria, not China, as alot of Teslas are. What scares me a little is if Fisker will be around in a few years, 15:25, and any warranty is best used for kindling. Fisker need to convince Tesla buyers to hand over their cash. With Tesla's charging network thats a tough sell. However charging network and longevity of company concerns aside, I would take an Ocean all day over a Model Y. Although not premium, the Ocean is nicer than the Model Y both inside and out. And it doesnt look like a jellybean.

@shonunezekiel
@shonunezekiel 9 месяцев назад
@@alangravy27 depends where you live, and how you charge, as to whether Tesla's network is a USP and whether it is one that will sell the car... eg if you almost exclusively charge at home then the network is not particularly relevant, and it depends on the density of other charging options (I am in the UK, and understand that the US might be different in number of options, and typical driving distances), and I am not sure if it can still be considered Unique as other vehicles can use the Tesla network as well... but I have driven a few EVs and have found that in Teslas the integration of the route planning and the Tesla chargers was just so seamless (eg telling you chargers which were free, what your % battery would be, preconditioning the battery before arriving at the charger, and the payment experience itself) - so I would agree with you on that being a USP, if you also include the infotainment.

This is an interesting car well reviewed Ginny. I do find it interesting that Fisker have done some market research on what people actually use but I guess the may be different for different territories. I like that all the windows roll down (great to let those pesky wasps out in the summer days) but it adds cost and we don't have a rear wiper. The loss of a frunk however might be good to keep costs down but to have somewhere to put the charging cables without emptying the boot is a downside if the car is loaded with on a family holiday run or after the weekly shop. As for the loss of a glove box, OK I can understand that I don't use mine that often but I keep all my emergency gubbins in it, a pen, paper (for details of an unforeseen incident) and a small first aid kit and phone cables etc. I could live without an electric window in the tailgate and doggy windows to keep the frunk and glove box that require no power and are simple mouldings but that's just my view. Overall it looks like a great car though. Many thanks for sharing.

Glove box. Yes, we use one with our Buzz. It holds a tire pressure gauge, a pencil, an eraser, and a notebook, along with the vehicle registration and insurance papers. The notebook holds details about every trip including: code for day of week, date, stop time, start time, duration, stop km, start km, distance. Charging? That information is provided by our Easee charger, so I get a monthly update given to me and - at the end of December - an annual summary. Would I buy a Fisker Ocean? Theoretically, yes when Buzz reaches 10 years of age, but since I am 75, my wife and I have most likely bought our last vehicle. I think the Ocean would be appropriate for our children.

Wow that a lot of comments on a car that’s from a new player in town to most people. We all know that Henrik Fisker has a fantastic CV as a designer and that his first attempt at his own car did not go according to plan. This attempt is better thought out but so far has had a few teething problems. I believe that he will get over them and when you see the car in the flesh you release that he is on to something. I have put my money where my mouth is and placed an order and if I was in a position to invest in the company I also would. We need to look to new companies to invigorate the car sector and not just sit back and let the Chinese companies take over. The likes of BMW, Ford,Toyota etc who are like oil tankers and take too long to change direction. In the UK Jaguar developed the fantastic I-pace and then just let it wither on the vine instead of developing it. I hope Fisker is able to stay nimble and grow we need more like Henrik.

I think that’s missing the point; the point was that a 2500kg car with a 100kW+ battery and a 700km range and that achieves only 5.5km/kW is not a city car, not that it’s inherently a ‘bad’ car. It’s not about Henrik Fisker’s qualities or the fact that Fisker is a new kid on the block. Just that we don’t want our urban areas full of huge truck-like inefficient lumps whatever fuel they run on.

Hmm… so it does not have true 1-pedal driving, since regen can't bring it to a complete stop. Disappointing. The range is impressive. I'm glad it has some buttons and a binnacle, as Tesla goes overboard with its "minimalist" design. Too bad the vents can't be manually adjusted. No glove box? My wife wouldn't put up with that, as she's always got "stuff" in ours. And no frunk? We always use ours on roadtrips. I think a solar roof is more of a gimmick than anything. My car is never out in the sun long enough to make any difference. Besides, I "fuel" my EV with rooftop solar anyway. I think I'd be happier with an Ioniq 5, truth be told, despite its much lower range.

The more components the more chance you have of maintenance issues.

I drove this car for the first time yesterday. Fisker had a meet and greet close to me and I had the opportunity to really get a good feel for the car. The version that I tested had a price tag of approximately $73,000. It's a very nice car and has a lot of technology. This is the first iteration of the Ocean and I think they will continue to improve as time passes. There's a lot to like. But I wanted to be blown away and I wasn't. The first thing that crossed my mind was, well, this is a nice car but it's overpriced by about $25,000. I recognize that Fisker's peers such as Tesla and Rivian are even more expensive but I just couldn't justify the price. Since I'm in the market for a new SUV I also recently drove a new Grand Cherokee Limited which I could buy for $48,000 and it is better appointed, more comfortable and drives and handles better. I do hope Fisker survives and flourishes. I would love to see them put a dent in Tesla's market share.

I'm almost impressed. Will they ensure OTA updates don't `brick` the vehicle? Usually prefer my updates installed at the dealers, where any issues are theirs to solve. Have Fisker got many dealers in the UK? Seems like a lot of `coming soon` extras promised bu not delivered in a car costing THIS much? Are you adding-on `over the air updates` to your regular reviews as we need to see `how many` and `how often`? I don't have any problem at new installers in the industry but `promising` and `delivering` are facts that can only be proven - look at the shoody aftermarket at Tesla for example.

It does seem like a lot of manufacturers are going that minimalist centre infotainment screen - the biggest reason is it saves money - think of all the individual button and switches it replaces! However I’m not convinced it adds convenience or is safe for adjustments when on the move. Some will argue virtually everything is set once and if needs to be altered can be done so through voice commands. I’ve chosen a car with a plethora of traditional switches and knobs - the GV60 and quite happy thank you. The biggest issue I see however is redundancy if that screen goes on some vehicles you won’t even be able to put the car in Drive (cough*- highland refresh of Tesla for example). With a more traditional setup - Head up display, driver binnacle, HVAC screen and infotainment screen and separate drive gear selector all separate there is some resilience/back-up/ redundancy! I can see my speed on the HUD or still change gear should the infotainment screen fail.

Generally because the power generated from a panel small enough to fit on a car roof is minimal and hardly worth the effort. Fisker aren't stupid though, they know the solar panel will help their sales because people will convince themselves they need it. Bit like SUVs in general

I recently looked at one of these in Westfield Shopping Centre, London and it’s a very nice car indeed. No Froot, turned me off straight away, as a Model Y driver I use the Froot more than we use the boot. We found overall storage space is very lacking compared to the Model Y. I really, really like the Fisker but there are some practical fundamentals that let it down.

Looks great and as others have said, it looks very like the Evoque or Discovery Sport? A few comparisons to the EX30 were made which are confusing as size wise, it's like comparing a with a Mini Countryman to a XC60? The FisKer Ocean is 4,774-4,775 mm L x 1,982 mm W x 1,631 mm H and the EX30 is 4,233 mm L x 1,837 mm W x 1,555 mm H, more or less 50cm shorter and a foot narrower? No wonder there's more interior and boot space in the Ocean. I've got to say some of the design features of the Ocean are great but just not sure if the company with all its troubles will be around longe term. I hope it is as its a refreshing change.

I’ll see how they are doing in 2 years time and hopefully they will be quite abit cheaper on second hand market.

@@antonymcneillis you're right in all, but I don't think there's a connection with the fact that it's produced by magna.

I test drove one in Glasgow on a terrible day raining stair rods - I was concerned about no rear wiper but the rear view mirror can be old style or a camera screen - in camera mode it stayed crystal clear even in heavy spray conditions but the back up camera badly needs a water jet to clear it after driving in those conditions. The aircon works on a very reduced mode in Earth mode and the car has no heated front screen - misting up was a problem until I moved into Fun mode when the screen cleared in seconds with a very powerful blast from the fan. Needs a heated front screen if you are going to drive in the most efficient mode. I’m used to driving air suspension Land Rover Defenders and Range Rovers - the ride on steel coil springs on 22” wheels with low profile tyres on potholed roads on the south side of Glasgow was as good as on air suspension. To me though too many standard items are still “to arrive by OTA update” or just missing from the specs. I doubt in Scotland that neither the California mode or the solar roof will get much heavy use………… for the time being I’ll stick with my 2023 Defender 90 but in 2 years time maybe Fisker will have sorted out the OTA update items. It is a lovely car to drive though and the quality feel of everything you touch was very high. I don’t have a frunk in my current EV and rarely need to dig out charging cables as I have a tethered home charger or use rapid fast chargers with tethered cables when out on the road so keeping the cables in the under boot floor box isn’t really a problem and my EV is a Mini Cooper S E where storage is at a premium.

issue with the California test is you were unable to see how front-biased this car is. during the test in Milton Keynes, it was losing traction during acceleration in any mode except the earth. Also there is a lot of pending updates and the amiable staff was clear, that there is no roadmap, as they don't want to overpromise. but: * ACC ? - OTA * Hill assist? - OTA * one pedal driving? - OTA * no regen driving? - OTA * keyless entry? - OTA Taller drivers may also have some issues with the driving position, as both armrests are very low, and the window line is very high.

Good looking but seems different to the prototype some how. Not a fan of the need to select driving mode and then select boost in order to get max power, prefer to let my right foot make the decision on how much power goes to the wheels, apart from the most powerful Plaid models, this is how Tesla do it. The other worry is the charging network, especially in the UK. Only a concern on road trips as most will charge from home, but still. Do we know how they're be looked after in the UK? Not seeing any Fisker dealerships. Price seems similar to Model Y which has sold like hot cakes in the UK such is the popularity of SUVs, although in many cases due to "want" not "need" :)

Why would you not include a frunk..? Its not difficult and its a bit of extra storage which is useful on road trips, especially given this cars rather poor boot capacity for its class. I use my frunk all the time for storing things that would make a mess of the boot, like hiking boots and other outdoor gear. This is supposed to be a utility vehicle after all. Real swing and a miss there.
