Meet the Fisker Ocean!
It’s American manufacturer Fisker’s first foray into all-electric cars, while also being the manufacturer’s first SUV The question is, can this family-friendly EV compete with the market leaders in its class?
When it comes to the design, it’s fair to say it’s pretty stylish. It has sleek headlights and taillights, with a Fisker logo in the centre of both that lights up! At the front, there’s a wide air intake that stretches across the length of the car and helps give it a bit of an aggressive look. The side profile is also pretty sleek and adds to the car’s overall smart exterior.
Step inside and the cabin is largely covered in soft-touch materials (as long as you don’t reach too far down). In the centre of the dashboard is an absolutely huge infotainment screen which is used to control a lot of functionality - although thankfully it still comes with physical climate control buttons! Annoyingly though it doesn’t come with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto! Thankfully though, unlike in a Tesla, you also get a digital driver's display.
There are two battery options available - a 73kWh and a 106 kWh. The entry-level car comes with a single motor and a range of 290 miles, while the longest-range edition comes with dual motors and the ability to reach up to 440 miles. The entry-level car also comes with the ability to produce 275hp, while the range-topping car also includes a ‘Boost Mode’, and the ability to put down 564hp.
Prices for the Fisker Ocean start at just £37,000, rising to £61,000 for the range-topping model. But is it better than a Tesla Model Y? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

The only likable part was the comical script...! Well done Matt...
Love the title change 👌
@MatWatsonCars @carwow Curious that the original title was changed, the Old one was "New Fisker Ocean review: SO many cool features!". I guess you guys had a chat with @MKBHD innit ? Wait a minute, look who just popped up in the comment section👀
I dare you to release one EV video without mentioning Tesla - just one!
Prove it, plug in a dishwasher, Matt! Full cycle.
Can't wait to take my second hand fisker ocean to a software center and have my boosts set to 9999.
Just infinite boosting!😅
What if it is 250590 Boost Power?
The prices of used cars is usually based on spec, miles, condition and then it's preferences from colours but the Ocean will be based of how many launches it has left 😂😂
The number of boosts is there to save your engine. An electric motor has a limited power you can apply, before the magnets jn there will demagnetise. You can surpass this limit for a real short time, without destroying them right away, but it will harm them on the long terms.
Change it to INT_MAX XD
People in 10 years trying to sell their Oceans, "how many boosts does it have left?" LOL
I had an ocean on reserve because I really love the design, but opted to hold off for v2.
Later when I read about the boost limit thing I was totally put off. Why sell a feature that disincentives itself? That is very very bad marketing. It's a small thing, but it totally takes the joy out of that experience. Makes it feel like a guilty pleasure.
They will probably charge you to add more boost.

Can't wait to always having to be connected to my house internet while I drive my car and if I drive off the router range the car shuts down, the future of cars is soo bright ✨
Every car technically has “limits” the manufacturer simply doesn’t tell you that you’re about to break something. Fisker is basically saying “this much left break it if you want”
Just wait till you gotta buy dlc to start getting access to software updates 😂
Do you ever believe the shit you're spewing? Do you know people still drive a 1998 Corolla? Or a 2004 Prius? Do you really think boosting for 300 times will wear the damn thing out?
mkbhd and matt digging fisker's grave lmao
While honesty is what is expected in a review, they made some mistakes in reviewing and their review of the initial release, pre version 2.0 of the software as a little unfair. Tesla's first effort was not at all perfect. So I disregarded those 2 reviews.

Company going down
Legend has it that right rear interior light is still on to this day.
I was surprised at 37k start price. For a new electric car like that, that’s not bad
But lots of extras which cost plenty of money, but which are standard with e.g. the Tesla MY
They are still losing +40k on each of them, so it is just a trick to get people buying these... but not likely the company will be around in 5 years.
37k to buy and 2years later worth zero dollars yes what a bargain
They are already going......... down the drain.@@Arpedk
@Arpedk doubt Risker will last out the year. Financial crisis, poor quality, broken promises. Outright lies.
Dangerous faults.
Now risk of De-listing of shares and latest share price is a very sad 56c.
Seems pro investors and heavy weights in the industry are steering well clear of Risker. Because they see bad management and product.
The fisker Karma was actually a pretty good looking car for the time
In the Netherlands it was actually a relatively common car at the time also for a brief period due to all kinds of fiscal incentives making the car pretty affordable. Although it only lasted for about a year until Tesla came to the market here with the model S. But I recall that 20% of all Fiskers sold were sold in the Netherlands.
Yeah - and nothing more.

Seems like there was a cutout for it. Oh well.
@@phxees ^THIS. That annoyed me so freaking much. Literally an obvious, much wider cut out at the "front" of the boot that was clearly meant to fit the load cover, but he just shoved it in diagonally, randomly for like 2 seconds, not even remotely trying.
I can see how some of the car's features being annoying may have gotten to him, but I feel like he was _also_ just having a bad day, and unfortunately chose to take it out on this car, which is pretty unprofessional, imo. It's so rare to get a whole new company making cars that I really hate it when their first vehicle isn't even given a fighting chance, and when stuff like this happens where, through no fault of their own, they are more harshly criticized than they deserve. The software stuff does seem annoying, but with this being their very first car, and OTA updates obviously in the works, it just feels wrong to judge it so harshly for thing that may not even be an issue even just a couple months later.
@@purwantiallan5089none of those car are similar

MKBHD’s car wasn’t a test car, he reviewed a dealership owner’s car. Will be interesting to see him re-review the car with the update though
He also didn't notice the car seat storage compartment. Had an Audi A4 that those, and always forget when I stored anything in them.

That all window open feature is great. And the Fisker is one of the very few besides Porsche that retains a sunroof that actually still open. Great job.

@@sweetfreedomGB e36 had it, open and close. and I'm sure it was on at least audi 100 to
I saw Marques complaining about the car having a limit for launch control but I thought that you would know that most cars have a limit.. for example the VAG group has a limit on the DSG of 200 for the DQ and 400 for the DL and a 500 AMAX launches for the ones with the ZF 8 speed, the difference is that Fisker put this number in the infotainment while you can only see this in other by using a diagnostic tool.BMW cuts timing between shifts after 50 launches and depending on what 8hp version you have you lose the function after 100 or 200 launches.911 pdk has 500 limit, the Huracan has a 250 limit.. In two years of ownership I have only done 43 launch control with my Audi .. so i guess the number is not a problem its the fact that there is a limit that is annoying. Maybe everybody does this its just that Fisker had the stupid ideea to display this number.
Great info 👏👏
Is it stupid though? I think it's pretty decent of them to put that in. It's saying to owners "look, you can do this if you like, but it's REALLY bad for the car, so don't do it too often, dummy". It'll also be good for people buying them second hand, probably.
@@RustyPettersonexam its there to protect the HV BMS
Launch control is for bundles of sticks. My 2006 Z06 has no limits.

From an owner since December I can say the Ocean Extreme is a lovely family car with some good oomph to it. Yes there are a few software glitches, but nothing they can't fix with OTA updates.
People are acting like all new ev car companies have no software glitches. They should try driving an early year model 3 without any updates
They can't fix the resale value with OTA updates
@@josh3221ify half price in 1 year , like most EV s
Cannot comprehend why anyone would buy a new EV, when you can get it half the price or less in 2/3 years and 30k miles.
The problem isn't only the software issues, it's also that they're selling a car that's not even finished yet. No adaptive cruise control because that'll be available later on. Really? It started with gaming companies selling unfinished games that would be fixed with software updates and now we are on to cars. I would never buy a car that hasn't even got all it's features when it leaves the factory.
Said it before, say it again: electric cars should have mechanical controls for the non-essential stuff as much as possible. Less wiring, less battery usage, fewer points of failure, lower repair costs if something does fail. Plus I personally love the fact that I can just reach to a vent and point it another way on feel, while driving. Is that really so hard to understand for car designers?
So you want manual window cranks back?
The word is 'fewer'.
@@robertpotton9179You're right, thx
@@geraldh.8047 Thought about that. Driver side? Sure. Passenger side is one of the things where I would still prefer electrical.

Other than those things, though... radio volume & settings? Chair adjustment? Where the vents are blowing? What temp it is anyway? Physical buttons and/or manual controls please.
Electric cars should not exist, at least not yet. The technology is not there, for the moment all EV's are for people who have their heads up their a**es, who think they're saving the polar bears by driving an EV, who have their brains washed by all the false claims and propaganda..

I don't mind setting the steering wheel via the screen, as long as it has memory for profiles you set your position once then never really move it again.
Wing mirrors on the other hand can be a bit annoying via the screen.
Unnecessary gimmicks, prone to fail. My car has one mechanical lever on to adjust the steering wheel up and down and in/out. Takes 5s to get it done. Are people so decrepit today, that everything has to be done electronically and supported by nannies?
@@heiner71 Stop and think for a moment. When the process is motorized it can automatically adjust to different driver profiles. If the car has only one driver ever this is a non-issue, but it's an incredibly nice feature for a lot of people. When the seat, wheel, and mirrors are motorized swapping drivers is seamless.

Hopefully the ocean will be more than one year in production compared to Fisker Karma. At least they cannot put the exhaust at the front of the car this time around.
Fisker Ocean and Karma are equally underrated.

@@Beer_Dad1975 In fairness to Fisker although they're not my cup of tea the Ocean has been on sale for a while now and they're actually making and selling some cars this time plus they've got Magna Steyr behind them _plus_ they already have two new near production ready models coming out this year. It seems to be different this time around.
3:58 Had a solar roof on my jeep for 3 years now with 335w and I'm lucky to see much power at all when the clouds are out like they are in this video.

I've also had use of quite a few others either as rentals or through work.
Predictably the Tesla (model S 90d) was the best but even that wasn't all it was made out to be, cost a lot back then and was built like a 1980's Fiat product. Teslas network is much better than the others but its usually still a trip away from where you're going to get to one and still takes 30-60 minutes each time for a charge that will take you another ~100-160 miles.
I'm yet to find an ice which requires a detour every hour and a half to then sit still for 45 minutes and the Tesla was miles better than the rest.
If you have never spent hours charging on a trip either you never go very far or you have never lived with an ev as your only car.
Thats ignoring the constant hassle trying to find a charger that works and isn't blocked by an ice along with having to plan trips which would otherwise not even require a fuel stop.
If you stay in range they're great because you have a full battery each morning - saving the three minutes a fortnight or so it takes to fuel an ice.
Of course not everyone has a drive so to many people thats also moot.
Within a month, Fisker will have eliminated the 500 boosts limit, I am sure. I think they will replace it with a total boost counter, and a recommendation.
Fantastic idea, they should absolutely make this change, the 500 boost limit is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever seen on a car (and I've owned a S55 AMG Mercedes)
3:40 Coming straight from the MKBHD's review of this car, where there was no information for the solar panels in the infotaintment system. But glad that they included in here, assuming it got a software update.

Far too much stuff is being added to “the screen” in cars. It’s REALLY annoying! They’re all a pain to navigate, especially if you’re driving. You can’t feel what you’re pressing, so you HAVE to look away from the road. We had a Focus courtesy car with the climate control on the screen, it was really awkward to get the right temp. In our own focus the climate control is done with physical dials, I don’t need to look at them at all to know if I’m turning it up or down, I can just feel it. Then as soon as I’ve done that I can move the blowers, adjust my steering wheel, adjust the seat etc, all without having to navigate to different screens! Hate screens in cars!!
This will be a great success when the software catches up with the hardware. The vehicle-to-load options are awesome!
0:37 so gentle...you really know your way around that thing.
Why did you name the thumb nail that? 😂😂😂 very original carwow
Didn't expect Fisker to be back
It isn’t lol
They'll be gone again before you know it.
Tesla fan bois continue to be obsessed with Fisker
Yeah, it’ll be short lived (again) going on the current state of their finances and how little cars they’re selling. Henrik Fisker should stick to design, not trying to run an entire business.
It is back shorts will burn
I'd love to see you do a quick redo after the 2.0 software!
I'd love to see them release the car in a finished state. He tested it as it and if thats something that needs updates to be fixed it should have been done before release. If not it is what it is and anything after the fact may well improve it but doesn't change the current experience.
@@siraff4461 I'm not excusing it, but if they waited for software 4.0 on the roadmap, they'd be dead before they released the thing. They needed the revenue to start, it's a new product by a startup, early buyers are unfortunately beta testers.
@@tipoomaster Which is fair enough so long as they are happy to take the poor reviews which go along with that.
They could easily have released it with less features, a smaller battery or whatever to cut costs but they chose to screw the early buyers instead which will reflect on them.
Lets be honest Fisker hasn't got the greatest record at being able to run a company in the first place so releasing something half baked really isn't going to help that look.
Its also a lot less hassle to sort out a bit of code than to pass all the safety tests so its a bit of a thin excuse.
Plenty of other stuff is half baked too. For instance suspension set up is a well known art these days but they seem to not have bothered asking anyone about it.
Plenty of things on this just scream built as quickly and cheaply as possible and considering their track record its someone more brave than me who's going to throw their money at it.
Speaking of which even the price rings alarm bells. Thats the kind of price a big maker using lots of common parts with another vehicle could possibly do. When its a new company and a ground up car thats just not enough to cover proper development.
I wish them all the best - I really liked the Karma and almost got one until I saw one in person and thought it had been in a large accident then not repaired properly. Apparently fit and finish weren't part of the deal so I left it. A shame because I still think it would have been quite cool.
I want to have a FINISHED car Not an unfinished product
Fisker is supposed to release the 2.0 version of the software for this car on a OTA update. Hopefully it improves a bunch of the faults which seem to be software related.

20:28 - there's a definite spock vibe going on. You kept that quite :)
You are were putting 2 things in forground which are from my point of view very low issues and not only comming with the Ocean. The lane assist is even in my 10 year old Mazda 6 a source for always binging if you put it on. And also in the Ocean you can switch it off, even when you like to drive on country roads and change the lane. The other source for binging is the 'FI-Pilot' / speed checker. This features is in europe for all new cars a must feature by regulation. But also here you can switch it to only optical. After this two minor settings you can drive silent or enjoy the fantastic sound system.
Nobody is buying this loaded Ocean over a Model Y Performance. What I am much more interested about is the 37k version of this Fisker! That one should be the more interesting one!!
I think you'll find that the opposite is true
If you compare the built and the interior on both cars you will change your mind. Also you cannot compare performance as they are in a different category
@@iliascharitonidis6950 Exterior and interior are the BEST part of the Fisker. Personally I love the design of the Ocean. Sadly, it's worst part is the tech and how unreliable it is according to every single reviewer. Hence why most will end up going with a Tesla in the end, even if they picked the Ocean first.
@@3lgonViewModel Y is the most sold car on the earth. It takes much more than this buggy car to change something on that
Fisker Ocean: very good looking car, looks like it came out of a sci fi videogame.
The outside looks like a range rover, the inside like a Ford Mach-E, just not as good. Yes very good looking.
Fisker OCEAN made by MAGNA in ICE platform thats OUTDATED.
*SpyHunter 2 PS2 Flashback Intensifies*.
Nice to see a reviewer actually commenting on the under sprung and under dampened ride. All the owners raved "oh its so planted and comfortable", but when I test drove the Ocean I felt exactly how Mat is describing it + excessive pitching and rolling. Not at all the "drives more like a sports car than an SUV" feel that Henrik Fisker claimed.
It drives like a mid price, mid size SUV that is far too heavy for anything remotely sporty driving.
No mention at all of the complete lack of a glovebox? Really, Matt, that deserves to be covered.
16:41 and 16:46 I do really like those teal wall tires! They would look really cool on this type of car. Also the paint would serve its purpose protecting those wheels against blazing California sun

Hi Mat from California! It is QUITE sunny out here.
Interesting how Tamm and MKDHD had same software glitches and both mentioned that this probably exclusive to their car )
I like the new honest Mat. Maybe he has nothing to lose now.
He was always like this,what are you on about??
Your impression seems like the one MKBHD had in his video. So sad that they didn't release the car with finished software.
MKBHD the iPhone clown
He said it's the worst car he ever reviewed which was extremely harsh.
Tesla didn’t release their cars with finished software. They are still updating the 2019 model. Lol
@@way3399its not 2019 anymore, where you had no competition. In 2024 you habe to build a solid, proper car, that is also affordable to even remotly grasp some market share from Tesla or BYD. Or something unique.
It looks really nice. You can see where they cut corners but mini range rover. I would wait until next years model if they do one, too much for them to fix right now. Great looking.
in my car lane departure works greats when its daytime but when you need it most when its dark it does not.
What happened to "New Fisker Ocean review: SO many cool features!" ?
Mandela effect 🤨
That rear touch screen looked like the least responsive device I've ever seen
The beeping/alarms should have been worked out in the testing, prior to the release of the vehicle. For sure, but I am confident Fisker will work out these kinks and many of the issues look like they can be resolved via software.
They have a showroom in Amsterdam,they look great sat in them
If I took that long to figure out the drivers folding table I think I would give up reviewing anything that needs a bit of brainpower 😂
A bit uncalled for. It's not easy figuring these things out you know laddie.
Game over Tesla...very funny Matt🤣
Can you give the timestamp?
So works about as well as the Karma. Glad to see they stuck with Maserati in the 90's level of quality.
I was about to say the solar panels would be great in Australia, but then I realised that this summer has been so wet it’s more like Scotland at the moment.😂
Don't forget it was going to be a very dry summer! 🙄
Its a gimmick bub.
On the upside: Yay! It got software updates! You can see how little energy the solar roof is generating!
On the downside: Oh no, it's still a glitchy nightmare even after the upddates
i was hoping you'd see this lol
Hello 🖐️
BTW - thinking of replacing my old Samsung Fold. Which folder should I get?
You should tell us what it is like trying to work with Fisker.... Is it as miserable as it seems?
I hope that it improves, as Tesla did when it began 👍👍
You've gotta do a collab with Thomas and James from Throttle House!! It will be EPIC!!
7:09 so when somebody is sitting in the middle or its blocked off by something the people in the back cant control anything?
It's not bad ! and has an onboard 230v supply rated at 3000 watts which is pretty handy, also very handy is it is spacious, looks cool and you can put all the rear seats down should you buy a fridge or washing machine and want to get it home ASAP !... It does seem a bit dark and gloomy inside, so a lighter colour interior would be more cheerful... I do like the long range on the top model along with a 4.1 second 0-60mph time !.... if only there was a mute button to stop all that annoying beeping, I would love to buy this car !... the rear end does look like it was inspired by the Alfa Romeo Cloverleaf of the 1990's/2000's... I like this car.
He was just flexing with 1000usd jacket :D
And while testing the Dacia Spring did the same with his expensive wrist watch...
the he clearly didn't pay for
@@M3PH11 Thats even better :)
Saw one in Malibu CA
Can someone tell me where do the carwow drag take place ? What’s the name of the drag strip ? Or the runway name?
No, because you're not invited Bucko.
I simply don't understand the resistance to Tesla's swipe to go feature. I use the auto select feature and love it. Rarely do I need to select manually. When I do it's no different then finding a shift lever. I get it, everyone wants a stick shift, so they can be a big bad racer. LoL!
Car seat: Reclines
Matt: "Limo mode"
About 20 years ago, Mazda gave the 929 solar panels on the roof which kept the AC running while parked. Now THAT was genius. No more getting back into a boiling car.
That's incredible. Why did nobody else do this?
@@chrisc475 Even Mazda didn't repeat it as far as I know. Car manufacturers will happily add any option that sells. If Joe Public is too stupid to buy it, then they'll have thought "F@!k-em then. Let em roast."
More like 30 years ago - 1992-1994 MAZDA 929 had this feature
@@kkgolf5371 Time flies when you're getting old.
@@chrisc475look into the production of solar panels it’s not great unfortunately 😅
$1400 (CAD) for the coat. Matt....what realm are you living in?
He owns a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and an Audi R8 Spyder, what do you expect?
I mean, he has a GT3RS.. An expensive coat is like you buying a pack of gum.
Hes rich that's why
You think he paid for it? Mate's rates!
a good coat should cost that much
Correction: The first X5 was not designed by Fisker but by Frank Stephenson - who has a very nice RUclips channel on his own, explaining a lot of things he did in the past and what cars he designed.
The 1 thing reviewers have to start doing is telling viewers what software version they are testing and I suspect the version he has is 1.00 as all the issues he shows us are fixed in 1.11 and version 2 is bringing a lot more fixes and there will be a new version each month .. and so on ..
He should verify what version is available in the cars he is reviewing before reviewing them and 1.11 has been out for a month already!
The area of a car roof wouldn't give you anywhere near an effective charge, even on a sunny day. To get a meaningful charge - while you parked for example - you would need a solar array the size of a tennis court.....
Yep. Total gimmick. Be better off removing it and all associated wiring etc and saving weight.
1500-2000 miles a year is not insignificant
@@dabulls1g Well maybe not, but if some potential buyers felt the car would be charged up on a sunny day while they went shopping, or had a picnic, they'd end up disappointed. Sort of in the same way some early adopters of the Toyota Prius seemed to feel their cars would charge up while parked, because they'd been told they were "self charging"..........The concept of solar on a car roof is fine in itself, but just don't expect huge returns from it. I'd be surprised if you saw 1500 miles per year return....
Can’t wait to test it out
0:24 I bet that's a Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 making that noise
Good review, as ever. But, there is a slot for the load-cover surely..?
Bro took "inspiration" from the evoque. 😅
In the headlight only
definitely. rear looks so much like it. overall body shape,windows etc. too.
Powering my house for six day? Am going to buy this one!
It could be useful, if for example you charged the Fisker up on a home off-peak tariff, at 7.5p per kwh through the night, then used that electricity through the day from the car... You'd have cut your daytime electricity bill by 300% or more..... Just a thought.
Or charging the car using solar panels... 😁😁
@@deltajohnny Well yes, but to fully charge a typical EV, you need a few sunny days. That's a fair ask in Britain. If you use an off-peak tariff, then cheap electricity is available on a *regular* basis. You don't have to hope or wait until the sun shines for long enough....
@@Brian-om2hh Yes, very good point. I have an electric scooter, which I charge using solar only when the sun shines (I live in Spain) and I still don't have an EV, but even in my country I guess that I will not be able to fully charge it 100% from the sun. When I have the car, I'll see if the "virtual battery" from my electricity supplier can be useful to complete the charge by night 👍👍
1:44 Saw the beat coming 😂
I’ve heard of them because they recently open a dealership near me.
