This was me when I bought a zune over an iPod

Edit: they officially filed for bankruptcy

[stevelovesemmy]

Fisker didn’t build those cars. They outsourced it to an established factory. That’s why there are no issues with panel gaps, they aren’t a start up manufacturer

[nanaoftheyaw]

I felt like her when a friend bought a mach-e and was bragging about the software. I was just there trying so hard not to look unimpressed or list the many features we have over it.

[Ghostiator]

The honesty of the dude in the orange shirt deserves praise.

[hanstandt]

I'm a Tesla fan, but I really liked this honest owners interviews and I really hope Fisker will make it. Nice car.

[ranig]

Hope Fisker makes it. We need more EVs and more options for people who are sick and tired of being addicted to oil and paying dearly for that addiction.

[frederickfitzwilliam]

Kim's face when he tried to show how fast the car was 😂😭😂😂😂😂😂 she wanted to tell him that wasn't it, so bad 😂😭😂😂

[timkline]

I like Fisker, I hope they make it. But I think they look great and I love the idea of solar panels on the roof. It's not a lot of energy but even a small amount of free juice is nice, just for parking in your driveway.

[Victic]

The first $25k EV. Other company talks about it but Fisker delivers.

[tedg]

Thank you interviewees. Good and bad insights from smart, reflective folks :)

[WHATSINSIDEFAMILY]

love how passionate these guys are on their car. So good

[MakeOdds]

How I felt when I bought a Sega Saturn instead of a PlayStation😂😂

Yup! I live in Oklahoma and my wife and I are flying from Tulsa to San Diego California on May 6th to pickup a Fisker Ocean Extreme. I bought it knowing Fisker's financial situation. I also know future servicing in Oklahoma may be possible or impossible. I paid $31, 750 for it with 600 miles. It's going to be a great video of an adventurous couple traveling to California to pick up a vehicle with an uncertain future and make a two week vacation out of it. What's more adventurous than this?Crazy, huh? Either it will be an amazing vacation or one of the worst ones ever. We are planning on driving it around California and then driving it back to Oklahoma. There will be lots of site seeing and plenty of stopping to charge along the way. I'm excited about it and my wife is excited about it too! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a beta car and the complete unknowns. We are owners of other EVs. We have a Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Tesla Model S and now a beta car Fisker Ocean Extreme! The Ocean Extreme was purchased to mainly tow our Waverunners all over Oklahoma. With its big battery and excellent range of 360, I should be able to get 250 to 300 miles of real towing miles per charge. This will make a great video. The Fisker company may die but it's Oceans won't be still. Thanks for letting me comment and have a blessed day today!

To be clear, I hope they make it. When I placed my order for model X in 2014 I think tesla was also having it's ups and downs but I had a really strong feeling the product was going to succeed. So I feel I truly understand what these owners are feeling. Many of the interviews seemed to have a healthy attitudes and plan for going forward. This is a big bump in their road and I hope it again all works out. They all seemed to have eyes wide open and are being brave to help build this car. Love the American spirit.

Good luck and I'll see you guys down the road.

Its just mind boggling just how many people will root for a product to fail, simply because they use another product, don't want to see competition to their favorite product or the product is out of their price point or comfort zone. The real Fisker community understood what early adaptation was. Yes Fisker still has allot of improvement to do on organizing, servicing and communication. They are a 3/10 in that aspect and that's being generous. I'd give the car an easy 8/10 weighing the joy of driving it 🆚 the current annoyances of the occasional inconvenient software bugs. With smoothed out software and future upgrades...easily a 10/10.

Interesting comment about more physical buttons. It's something that's heard more and more from EV drivers in relation to the most commonly used basic functions as people are getting tired of having to dive into menus just to find a particular basic function, even with customisable menus. So many drivers find touchscreens a distraction when driving. Being able to simply reach a physical button (without) having to take your eyes off of the road is a major plus for many drivers.

I own a Fisker Ocean One sequence number 1447. I have owned and driven it daily since Nover 8, 2023. I came from owning Jaguar F-Pace, and I had more issues with it in 6 months than I've has with my Fisker. Actually, I have no real issues with my Fisker. I only had the A/C vent replaced due to 1 section of 4 making noise sometimes.

I really love the vehicle. I feel excited and make up excuses to drive it.

It's sad that the company is having a hard time. I plan to keep mine until it can't be fixed, which I doubt.

[hansari]

That old man is so stubborn and proud he will never admit to a bad purchase. $70k car now worth $20k but yea I'm a beta tester they listen to my feedback! lol. N I have a news for him if Fisker files for BK without plans to save the business his car isn't getting serviced. That money set aside is going to investors and Henrik before they repair his taco trey.

[RoxyJill]

Why didn’t he let you drive it? I would have loved to see and get your impressions.

[adamlaferriere]

I really hope that Fisker get out of their financial troubles. I think it's a great car and would 100% consider to buy one in the near future.
