    As FOO owner the 2.0 update was nice but there are still a couple of issues, my fob still is as smooth as it should be, for some reason I am having challenges with Bluetooth and getting the car seat and mirror settings for my wife and I set up correctly in the car. This could just be me but this is
    One of my remaining frustrations aside from still waiting for a mobile tech to arrive to install ac vents, Adas module, and adjusting my headlights since I seem to be blinding oncoming drivers. The car is fun to drive and handling is solid. Cornering is spectacular. Update, just replaced my battery in my FOB even though the existing battery was still good. FOB is working nicely. I hope 2.0 addressed FOB battery longevity.

Which came with the 2.0 update. I absolutely love it. Yes, it will take a while to get the supply chain of spare parts and service figured out, but that is a common issue with any new vehicle, whether gas or electric. With the Fisker Owners Association (FOA), many of the Fisker management errors are being fixed.....

Here’s some news for you, the biggest impact AI will have on the workforce is in programming and perhaps for once since 1970, we won’t have to put up with it anymore. Fishers OS will be fixed and hopefully the company will survive in this next era of a competitive EV market. I hope the same for Rivian.

    • @GasAndWatts
      @GasAndWatts  3 месяца назад

      I just take them to Costco and the Bridgestones are pretty good, but if you would like you can switch to Michelin, just make sure the tires are made compatible for EVs. Tire rotation for EVs are recommended every 6,000 miles.

    • @GasAndWatts

    I wonder if the drivers assist periodically fails is because of the same thing I see with my BMW i3s. If I am in direct sunlight, often directly facing a sunset, the camera, much like a human eye, will get blinded and my i3s driver assist will disengage and give me the warning where I can engage standard cruise control.

    • @GasAndWatts

    If it was an ICE vehicle from a defunct company, people can still work on them. See Jay Leno's Garage. However, a defunct car comany is basically motors and a lot of computers. Nobody will be able to work on them. If you are rich, or it is on a business, and you can write it off should it become a lawn ornament, then what the heck. Might be worth the risk. For someone of modest means who cannot risk the money, stay away until the issues are resolved.

    • @GasAndWatts
      @GasAndWatts  5 месяцев назад

      It was an OTA update for me. I got the same email as you, after a week when I got the email we got a notification on the Fisker that said the update was ready to install it. Be sure you are at home if you get this notification because they have you exit the vehicle and lock it when it's being installed. It took about 30 mins, then everything was updated. It does still install different parts after this initial install when you are away from the car, so you'll probably notice some changes. I had "hill hold' kind of in 1.11 as well, where some time on hill it would just hold, but it wasn't consistent for me.

    Wow, you seem to dismiss all manner of problems. Today any decent EV will proximity lock and unlock. No need to touch the FOB. I never bother to bring mine. Appparently, you don't have PAAK? Can you pre-condition the battery during road trips?? Software gremlins that frequently need resets. NHSTA investigations on brake failure and roll-away issues. Where will you get service, parts and future updates? Surely you know it's just a matter of time until the fat lady sings (7 or 11). Insurance, sub-par regenerative braking, no access to SCs for at least a year, if ever. Many owners who bought vehicles last year still have paper plates which means they don't legally own the car. Who would put up with that? And all for $65-$70K. Then there's the 40% reduction in value overnight. CarMax in March offered one Florida owner $21K for his 2023 Extreme and he took it because the A/C didn't work and he couldn't get it fixed. Another Mass. owner hit black ice in December, bent the wheel assembly. It has been sitting in his driveway for three months, no parts. But I know, the Ocean looks pretty....sorry to say, you got played Holmes.

    I bought 20k shares of fisker stock on Nov/2023 at $6.25 per share, but today 5/29 only $0.058 😢😢😢
    If I bought a EV instead on that day, car price maybe below $60K , and can still own that car, and save a lot of money 😢😢😢

    I've seen that you can also touch the key fob to the door handle to lock and unlock it.

      You are right, there is an NFC in the fob that will let you touch it to the driver side door to lock and unlock it.

    I think it's great for a price tag of $23k. My Chevy Bolt EUV was more for way less.
