a company should be forced to make their cars opensource if they go bankrupt as per right to repair in some sense

[moisesBTW]

oh wow, i wasnt expecting *THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THATS EVER LIVED*
greatest crossover in anime history

If you have it in earth mode, it's FWD, but if you change it to Fun or Hyper mode, it's supposed to be AWD. I say this, because I saw you guys had it in earth mode.

$599 for a software update that might turn your car into a brick. Got it.

Big 3 Module Engineer here; bricking modules (and therefore bricking the entire vehicle) is a very valid concern. The one rep who stated every update must be performed in order is 100% correct. The individual who stated every Warning Light / DTC must be resolved and cleared before re-programming is also 100% correct. I would also add that a Diagnostic Self-test should be performed after every update in the series, as well as making sure your 12 VOLT battery's SOC is at least 80% before doing any module re-programming. Keeping a charger on it might be a good idea too! Before you do anything, talk to your owner's group and find out the specific failure points, then take their collective wisdom and do all that you can to avoid those previously discovered pitfalls.

Got offered 8k to buy one in FL….. was going to part it out…. You want it ?

Hey Rich, so I saw your ocean sitting in Amesbury last week. I am a contractor in the area. I somehow happened to drive-by at the exact time you were taping the scene with Jake in the car. My van ended up in the background. Just thought that was hilarious.😂

"Each car responds differently" -- Lol. Exactly what the car-buying public wants to hear.

This is criminal. If a company goes bankrupt they should be required to open source all software required to operate a vehicle.

You got charged for that usb cable, did you keep it or was it one time use?

[feandil]

The Electric Garage should become a Fisker specialist. It will be a captive market...

[inquizative]

You're gonna get an email from BMW.. 😅

Once upon a time, I updated the software on my Garmin GPS. It turned the GPS into a brick. I lost $150. I was upset. If a software update turned my $70, 000 car into a brick, I might consider taking up hunting.

Fisker: that's what happens when the founder leaves his wife without experience at the charge of the company. Sheet happens.

10:45 imagine doing an update on a perfectly working car which costs you 500 bucks and they brick 🧱 your car 😅 then they can’t repair it 😂😂😂😂😂 WoW

[mansonitefirefox]

Update it. If it bricks it, sell the windscreen for $10k and be out for no money.

[stonefist]

usb-c to usb-c cord $80 🤣straight ripoff

[bhagbir]

God the fisker series of video you pumping out is probably the best of all time 😂 comedy gold

[makerKID]

I can't believe Fisker went bankrupt that an amazing car! No issues at all.

Go to Albany and get the software update. I own an Ultra model, and I want to see how the process goes. I am on the 2.0 software (which updated over the air), and am waiting for the 2.2 software update.
I have over 10, 000 miles on my car.
