Appreciate all the coverage of the Fisker Ocean. I'm not blind to any of the negatives or downsides of this journey, the money "lost", etc. I'm 9 months and 17k miles in, I've experienced relatively few issues with mine and have accepted the loss in value/depreciation as sunken costs that will keep me driving this thing until I no longer can. The good news is - I LOVE the car. Like, truly do. So - I don't feel as cheated as some might and enjoy every ride.
It’s an individual experience. I’m very glad yours has been positive.
@@Aslash304 Definitely is. I know there have been plenty of people who had very different experiences. My pain tolerance is probably a little higher than most.
Of course, "feelings" are from the heart and are all about emotions. Actual "thinking" is from the brain and takes effort. As that song from the 1970's comes to mind, "Feelings, oh, oh, oh, feeelings"!
@@johnc2438 Thanks John. Not sure what your point is here but I hope you "feel" better!
Smart man for cutting your losses. You are not some random RUclipsr, who borrowed a fisher ocean for few hrs to make a video. You bought one with your hard earned money. You have the right to express your feelings and to say anything about the vehicle and the company.
Thank you.😊.
I sincerely appreciate this. Thanks so much for sticking around and sharing your perspective
Thanks for your honesty, Adam! This journey has been frustrating as well as draining... can definitely see your exhaustion in your recent videos. Your videos are always helpful - good or bad. The only glimmer of hope is that Fisker Inc social media has not shut down... yet... and,... Fisker Inc is still responding... Looking forward to your future videos!
I appreciate this! Thank you for your support. I hope owners get resolutions going forward
Thank you for taking that loss to keep us informed. You are an excellent RUclipsr and are amazing at this!
I appreciate this! Thanks for watching!
$80k invested, still paying Chase, sold stock .. for this transaction and financed $20k of it. Angry YES, Love Driving it YES, frustrated at the bugs and non-functional features that I bought but never got. Worried that I will won't have Warranty and wondering if I will ever be able to get service in California. But, Yes Solar Sky works! But what happens when my ONE key fails?
I’m really sorry about all the poor experiences. I’m also glad you’re getting enjoyment out of your Ocean, and mileage out of your solar roof. I didn’t want to know the answer to the key fob question.
Thank you for being honest. The first step to recovery is admitting you made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
Adam, unfortunately Fisker is not alone in the EV SPAC/ next Tesla stock space. All these companies shouldn’t have been allowed to go public. Fisker is different in that they arguably did more harm by actually making cars, unlike Arrival, Canoo, Lordstown, and at least a few others
@@Aslash304so did I. It’s gonna be ok
I have a FOO, and I've apparently been lucky so far. Mine has worked well. Had one key fob incident prior to 2.0, but otherwise it is my daily driver without issues. I'm certainly worried about when issues will arise and no one to help me. When I purchased it, I was planning on keeping it for a minimum of 5 years, so I wasn't too concerned about initial equity loss. My biggest concerns is the loss gap if it breaks, or it turning into a brick if the key fob breaks. I knew the gamble going into this, and I'm going to play out my hand rather than fold. Maybe it will hold some value in the collector market if I can keep it running. Will continue to enjoy the drive, which has been good, while I can. YOLO.
The brick and the fob. Correct. It’s like $30,000 on red or black every drive
Wow, that was a wild ride. I feel awful for all the Fisker Ocean owners who literally bought into the vision of a new company with a beautiful design, only for tens of thousands of their hard-earned dollars to get vaporized. Good luck everybody.
Thanks for watching!
Not to mention the investors…
The best thing that happened to me was that the leasing company did not sign with Fisker, and now I drive happily in my Tesla. I’m a huge supporter of your videos, thank you.
I appreciate this very much! I, too, loved my Tesla. 100% worry free
Owners should definitely band together and file a class action
Let me know what I can do to help
@@Aslash304unless you know a lawyer willing to file and are willing to be the spoke in the wheel to organize us? 🤷🏾♂️
I have a legit question(not trying to be a dik..) But who's gonna pay damages if they're broke and have no money? Wouldn't you just be wasting even more money on an attorney
This was the best video, I’m a FOO owner, and this video made me laugh because it’s all the truth and all of these problems happen to me. The fiskers are borderline criminals. I spent a lot of money for a car that has a key fob that barely works, missing half the options that’s been promised. This is a con job, maybe even comparing it to all of those crypto scams
Crypto Cars…
Sad! Feel sorry for buyers and Fisker stock holders, employees and suppliers all left holding the bag.
Sad is a very appropriate sentiment.
What's the point of having keyless system if you had to have the key in your hand😂😂😂
In my Renault the key is a credit card and you keep it in your wallet and the car automatically unlocks itself when you are close. Working perfectly 100% of the time.
None of these are true about the Ocean. Nothing feels cheaper than the entry system in this car.
My 2013 Chrysler 300 had a key fob that I never needed because the doors unlocked when I touched the door handle. It sat in my purse unless I needed my house or office keys. It’s not rocket science! And when I back out of my garage/driveway, the 300 sensed a car coming down the street. This giant paperweight doesn’t even do that! Ugh….
I'm so sorry for your loss and every Fisker owner out there. I drank the kool-aid and bought stock way back when. I made a deposit pretty early on. Thankfully I only lost $1000 but I so wanted them to succeed and loved the car and the idea of the company in the early days. However, over time, I got worried about all the hype and buzz words. Your point about how Fisker hurting the EV industry is what really bothers me the most. Now everyone can point at them and say "SEE, EVs and doomed and destined to fail". Really burns me up. Thanks Adam for all your reporting and I wish you the best.
Thanks a lot for watching!
Adam,
Thanks for the most "journalistic" reviews of the Fisker Ocean and company. I was lucky that by watching all the Fisker content and your channel, I did not Buy my Ocean Ultra and only lost $1000 on the deposit. I leased a Genesis GV60 in November and have had a great experience so far. Free EA charging (no problems), free maintenance for 3 /36,000 miles, and nice build quality. I will continue to watch and praise you for the honesty you have provided.
Thank you very much! I’m glad the GV60 has been a good experience. It’s a nice EV!
Honestly feel bad that your experience with the car has been so poor. My car was delivered with 2.0 (now 2.1) and ive never had a single FOB problem or other software or warning issue. Got my MCO and registration in 3 days. No phantom drain or app issues. Car has driven and performed flawlessly for a few thousand miles so far (knock on wood). I definitely feel like they did a really good job on QC on the "second wave" of vehicles they released more recently. Which sucks for the early adopters, but they seem to have figured things out a big better over time
SAME HERE AND I LOVE MY CAR WITH 2.0
Best comment award
It is true that the early adopters got the lemons. And they are still suffering today.
I’m glad you’ve had a positive experience
Every car ever made has required service and parts sooner or later. What will you do if your FOB dies or 12 volt battery dies, or windshield cracks, or, or, or?
Thanks for preparing this video. I was considering picking up an Ocean Extreme now that they are $38K, but this video convinced me that it would probably turn into a $38K brick in a few years. Too bad, it's so much nicer looking from the outside than the competitors and currently one of the few with the operable back windows. I thank you for taking a chance, something we all do with new car companies (gas or electric), and sharing your experience and your pain for the benefit of others. The Ocean does have a great design, I was hoping some car MFR would recognize this and buy them out (Ford?), but it's unfinished software is a deal breaker and cars like Fisker/Tesla/Rivian are so software dependent, losing OAT updates and support is a very big deal. I have my deposit in for a Rivian R2, the closest match to the Ocean, and have fingers crossed for them figuring out how to scale up like Tesla did.
I hope Rivian works everything out
I wish I would’ve followed my gut and lost my $5k deposit instead
YOU PURCHASED A CAR THAT YOU LOVE THAT'S IT AND DON'T FEEL GUILTY
@@jacksoft2597Caps lock broken? Or just being a twat?
Much indigestion before my purchase as well. Guts react for a reason
@@jacksoft2597 Not sure he loves this car.... but sure. Ignore reality and be proud of your decisions no matter what I guess.
You keep reminding me of ALL the pretend features the Ocean was gonna have, according to Henrik throughout the years; heads up display, karaoke mode, V2H, cruise control…I’m so excited to hear what your new car is!
I’m excited to reveal it! Very soon!
After 7 months, I finally got the title to my FOO. I've sold all my stock for pennies and am considering selling the car (now that I finally can). I'm hopeful there may be a v4 software to enable the ADAS I paid handsomely for and maybe make it the car I thought I was buying (minus the warranty, parts, support, etc.) I think if I sold it, I'd just buy a used GV60 which means I probably couldn't trade this, and wouldn't want to sell privately for the same reason you didn't. There are no good answers. Thanks for the videos. Glad you're still here as a voice we can trust.
Definitely not going anywhere. We need answers.
I really don’t know what to do. No I got an email from Fisker saying the Roadside Service that I paid for as part of the car is “no longer available” and I should check my options with my auto club!! Going for very bad to worst in a hurry. I am going to see how much CarMax would give me for it. I am not hopeful.
I felt very good about not having it anymore
I am happy for you. I look forward to your video to hear what you did to say goodbye to your Sport.
1:34 you were SO not trying to crack up🤣😂👍💯
Thanks for your comment
3k miles over 6 months of ownership. Zero issues. Love my car. Only downside I've had is I can't seem to find enough places to drive it.
I'm not naive to the issues many have had, but my experience, and many others, have been nothing like yours.
I would note, your tune drastically changed after two things - one, being told your Fisker points couldn't be used for free charging and two, your initial negative posts getting more views than your positive ones. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Hopefully, this is your last Fisker video.
It’s not.
Lucid key FOB is just as worse. At least Fisker added a FOB holder to let the car know it's there.
Are there 2 fobs?
There are, and both drain the battery pretty quickly. The pairing process can be a pain as well. I'm sure you've probably seen reviews of the fob being in the car and the car saying it doesn't seem the fob. That's why I think even if the Ocean goes under that fob connectivity route is a positive.
Thank you Adam for doing this! I've always loved how honest you are! We canceled last year, thankfully NEVER decided to get it and we are thankful each day that we did not get it! Yes we lost money too, the deposit, and I swear if there is a class action lawsuit we are in! We love the EV we have now. I can't imagine if we went thru with it and got the Ocean how mad, sad and or embarrassed we would feel each time we looked at it. To this day I ask myself WHY did HF do this? Did he think he wouldn't be found out? Did he know from the start he was going to con people out of $$$$? What was his motivation to do all this? I knew even before the s__t started to hit the fan, that I really was not thrilled with those stupid taco trays, the solar roof which I thought wouldn't amount to much or that horrible cheap plastic "storage" area under the seats but I thought, if we did get it, that I could "overlook" it...nah...I would've have not like that stuff at all if we got that car! So much more I could say but well I think you got the jest of it. Thank you again Adam! I am a subscriber and always look forward to your videos!
Thanks so much for this! I’m glad you made the right choice. It is very peculiar the way it all unfolded. It makes me think there was something else going on.
Thank you Adam. You are an excellent, creative, objective and honest content creator. I got FOO 7 months ago and my screen has been black for a month now, whistling noice coming from the electric motor. I am in for anything class action to sue Fisker, just let me know how to join you.
I’ll be working on this. Stay tuned.
Good for you Adam. We need more people like you. Trying to help people avoid a financial disaster. Unlike that idiot at oceanone. He never ever says anything bad. He’s secretly henriks long lost brother I think. He’s a joke. Glad you’re here for this community man. I considered this at the beginning. Chose a polestar 3 instead. Still waiting for it. But I know it will be great when it does arrive. Because polestar wouldn’t purposely screw over their valued customers unlike the snake oil
Salesman and his evil wife
Top marks! Thanks for watching!
Great video Adam! 100% agree that Henrik Fisker is a serial con-man that knows how to design a good-looking car. But he never cared for customers, shareholders, business partners, etc. - he only cared about himself and his CFO-wife Geeta. Looking forward to seeing your new ride!
Thanks for watching! New ride soon!
I want to see someone go to jail for the con. I’m game for a class action lawsuit for sure. As a FOO that has a broken air vent and the sunroof stopped opening, I’m mad as hell.
At least he was honest. I foresaw the issues back when I had a reservation. Got my money back and ran.
So many people defended the company in hopes of their stocks increasing in value. It was very obvious.
Yes. And sad. What happened to me was sad. But pretending it isn’t happening is worse
@@Aslash304 I respect your honesty a TON. Who I DON'T respect is that Fiskerati guy. He was essentially the only news source for Fisker and I recall got an early test drive for his part in promoting the brand. Now, when people are losing money due to their purchase of the car, he's a ghost. I don't feel bad for the investors. That's always a risk and those that were so full throttle to make a quick buck thinking they were investing in the next Tesla should've seen the signs and cut their losses early. In any case, thanks again for the fantastic coverage of all of this.
Adam, I am really shocked!!! 😱You were the straw for me, as you gave so many information behind the company and the car and I thought that this man is in the same situation as I am. But you exited that carousel and sold your vehicle! 😭Chapeau! Thanks for all your efforts to keep us informed. You always had a very professional and objective view on the whole story! I really appreciate!
I’ll continue to keep everyone updated! Thanks sincerely for the kind words.
I'm beyond disappointed as well, and a corporate finance leader for 20 yrs. So yes, I feel I made a mistake. After wrecking my car by downloading the wrong software update of 2.0, I will say that they flew someone over to me from TN, fixed the car, got the right version loaded and it works flawlessly now. And because I work from home, and we have an ICE still for longer trips, I'm not in a position where our lives depend on this EV. So, I will definitely learn from this experience and journey, but for me, if I need to, I can run out and buy another car today. But won't, I've decided to see this til the end. And for my own sanity, staying off of social media like FB has helped. I will no longer support nor criticize, I will just drive it until I cannot......good luck Adam.
A good financial choice from a finance guy. Well said.
Adam, I’ve followed your channel since nearly day one of Fisker taking deposits, which I did preorder one. But over many months of near total non-communication from Fisker, I grew impatient and not trusting them as a legitimate OEM, and asked for my deposit back. I got it minus the $25 accounting fee, and in retrospect, I’m so glad I did that. I’ve felt your analysis has been thorough and fair. I’m sorry this journey ended this way for you. I wish you luck going forward. Keep up the great effort. Best regards.
I appreciate you sharing your experience. And I offer a sincere thank you for watching over the years!
I sold my Ocean to CarMax based on an offer they gave me the day before the massive reduction in price was announced. I took a massive loss. It took a lot to get me to this point, but I was using the Ocean as my primary car, I have three kids, was having constant range anxiety, insurance was expensive and hard to find, was having countless problems with the car, and I was convinced the company was going under and the car would eventually become unusable. So, I thought the car would eventually become worthless.
As horrible as I felt taking that financial loss, I felt like a terrible burden had been lifted when I got rid of my Ocean.
I agree with this. A burden has been lifted
Glad to hear you were able to get out. Over the years I have made bad investments in stocks, property, small business, relationships etc and almost another in a Fisker Ultra. Luckily at the time the company was so dysfunctional they were unable to take my money and I never got one. I dodged that bullet but just barely. Humans make mistakes and there is no real rhyme nor reason to it but we learn and move on.
Always eloquently articulated. Top marks.
😂 You have an awesome sense of humor about the whole thing. I lost a TON of money 💰 in FSR stock. I made a mistake, and I'll just have to live and learn from it.
I'll keep watching your channel, and I wish you the best. Thank you Adam
I’m very sorry about the shares. I appreciate you tuning in very much! More to come!
Thanks for the ride along.. I will continue to watch ur channel; kind of look forward to your next vehicle purchase, it has to go better. GO STEELERS
Thank you for watching! I appreciate this!
Adam, you’ve done a great job with all of your videos. Just as you are, I’m so disappointed with what happened with Fisker. I decided about seven months ago to cancel my order and just lose my $1,000 deposit. I purchased a Tesla Model Y and have been very happy with it. I guess our experience was a “live and learn” moment.
Agree. Live and learn.
I think my initial comment on one of your videos was "This is the worst car I have ever purchased (in the first three months of ownership)." There were some of us that tried to warn all of those with deposits, but even I dismissed early warning signs as well. I appreciate you continuing to tell the story.
Oh - I also received an email today saying that they are no longer offering roadside assistance.
And on this day, I backed out of my garage taking off my chargeport door. 😢 I just want to get rid of this
Thank you for sharing this!
I’m sorry to hear about the charge port door.
My wireless charging works fine. It doesn't work so great for my son's phone, but his is flip. We don't need to remove the plastic cover.
Good to know.
I have felt and experienced almost EVERY thing you described in this video. I look forward to the day that I'm free of THE worst car in the world. Worst decision and purchase ever! 😡
It hurt.
Thanks for the information. However, I worked as a mechanic for a couple of years and I can tell you firsthand that almost all vehicles are designed to fail. They have parts that are basically built from cardboard. In either case the Fisker Ocean One has decent quality parts. I'm aware everyone complained about the vent fans, however, I can tell the fans are not the problem; it's the small levers that come with the fan. In either case, I would rather have a car that can be fixed with software than an automobile that is built with a lot of moving crappy parts.
Also the charger works. So it's not the Fisker Ocean that is the issue. The problem is that the power transmitter is weak. I would bet that the power transmitter is facedown. It's a common issue i've seen in a lot of vehicle that offers the wireless charging.
I know this very reliable car brand that had a manufacturing factory that aligned all the piston rings and caused oil to go into the cylinder. The point i'm saying is that mistakes are going to be made; when manufacturing goes into mass production. Trust me All vehicles on the road today have issues. We simply ignore them because we don't see the immediate issue until it finally breaks. However I do agree with you about the company going bankrupt. However videos like this that focus only on the negative is what is going to definitely cause Fisker brand to go bankrupt.
Oh I also forgot to ask. Have you ever driven a stick shift? Cause when you are on a hill you have to press the brakes, to prevent the vehicle from rolling. back when you are on a hill. Magnetic motors work in a similar way, when no power is applied to the coil ti will go into a neutral state.
If me making a video makes a company go bankrupt, there wouldn’t be any more companies. And i absolutely love the stick shift question. What trim is your Ocean?
@@Aslash304 I have the FOO.
Adam's honesty was the only direct to consumer information that was worthy listening to. Adam went ahead and bought the car even though he was not confident about the software to bring information to us. I can respect that. I backed out of my deal because of Adam hands down.
This made my day. Extremely kind of you. Thank you for watching
Well said, and thank you for giving FACTS from the beginning on this. I had walked away with a $1k loss only from a deposit that I lost for not getting my extreme. Thank god that I only lost $1k only. Sorry for anyone who bought the Ocean, and fell for Henrik again.
I’m very glad you only lost $1k
Thanks for the videos. Keep 'em coming. I want Henrik Fisker's failure as a business man and a human being to be displayed for the masses.
I’ll be more than happy to report it all.
One more thing, how could he legally say there were potential buyers if the financial statement says they cannot sell??? We need to grab that house from them. I’m pissed
Part of the buyout deal would have had to include the payoff of the noteholder with the conditions preventing a sale. It essentially means that a buyer would have to pay off all of Fiskers debt as part of the deal. Which was MASSIVELY more than they were worth. Asset light baby. The future of the car business according to the Fisker fans
You are totally justified in your sentiments.
Wait ‘till they file for voluntary dissolution. They have no assets(apparently) no revenue, no access to capital, and unable to engage in any kind of takeover or sale of the company. The subsidiary filed for creditor protection, while the parent obtained debtor-in-possession financing. The corporate third party is very tolerant of risk, and doesn’t seem to care about the prospect of a bankruptcy filing.
If a private entity was created to take on the ownership of the Austrian subsidiary’s balance sheet(which isn’t public) that would make sense. They could do that if the Austrian subsidiary was an unconsolidated subsidiary. This would also explain why the accumulated deficit doesn’t appear. A change of auditor means that a disposition will happen, despite the 10-K prohibiting transactions.
Good video, Adam! Waiting now for the 23-24 May to watch events!
Thanks for the feedback
“This battery dies like all the time” 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a fun little Fob
Class action law suit for sure. Installing your wife without any business experience as CFO is obvious proof that Fisker never was serious about his company.
Agree. 100%
@@Aslash304 also remember his history of lying. He claimed to have a solid state battery that charges 500 miles in two minutes when he knew exactly that was nothing but fiction.
Thats what you get for trying to be different and not buyer a Tesla , a proven world wide company with a huge charging network that’s not going anywhere and is the leader and of electric cars
Yes. I am the 💼 holder
Straight talking. We have all learnt some sobering lessons from the Fisker story. Lots of us wanted to believe they could make it, and they would have a great car, and the marketing and confidence put out by Fisker was encouraging ... however behind the scenes the company was going out of control. The design is certainly eye catching ... but no car is good if it is unsafe. Fisker has been my worst performing investment to date ... thankfully my overall stocks are up, notwithstanding the Fisker loss...
I’m glad your other investments were successful
You are a brave man.... Buying a Fisker Ocean. Companies in the UK won't even offer $500 for a 2024 Fisker !
I also sold it.
You a real one. The dunce hat legit almost unalived me. The hvac controls sounded like those toy stress clickers. That spider Gwen shirt is awesome. On a personal note I wouldn't pay even 20k for that thing just not worth it. Your video really gave me the feels man especially cuz you traded in your Tesla for it. But I'm glad you're out and not in denial singing it's praises
I sincerely appreciate this! Thank you for the honest feedback
@@Aslash304 actually there's more. Not sure if I mentioned I have a reservation for an Aptera solar ev. The deposit wasn't much. But your videos have taught me a very valuable lesson so thank you for these vids.
Please share how you got rid of it I’m in the process of trying to trade it
I definitely will.
On the Canadian Autotrader site they have a Fisker Ocean for sale @ $94,995 how much it will sell for is anyone’s guess.
Speaking truth, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Indeed Henrik is worst who duped customers to the tune of 70K, I remember he claiming FISKER shall be profitable from Day 1 bcz of their unique business model...my foot. He shamelessly duped customers delivering partially done car. I feel like am cheated for 70K and i can do nothing 😞
I am here to help. Let me know if there’s anything I can do. Thank you for your honest feedback
Adam. I have an ocean one and I’m thinking about selling. Who did you use? Can you provide me assistance.
Cheers
Video in just a few hours
Spot on as usual. I am the one who declined delivery of an Ocean Extreme and bought a Lucid Air Touring. I’ve had it for 4 months still flawless. Love it.
I’m really glad you made a smarter choice
@@Aslash304 - My decision was 1/4 your videos, 1/4 from a good friend who was skeptical of a startup, 1/4 from a golfing buddy that bought a Lucid and loves it and 1/4 my intuition.
@@gregoryalee2457sounds like you’ve got a good group of sound minds in your corner
@@Aslash304 One is a Judge, the other an attorney who headed a 300 attorney firm. Pretty good minds, I’d agree.
I'm guessing what you have in the garage is a Hyundai N...😂...at this point, I'm praying for it....
Good guess
I hope we could go after them or the note holder for paid for options we didn’t get and at least get a partial refund. Not to mention the promised extras for the one owners. Not sure we can do anything about the residuals. I’d be happy to join in a lawsuit if we have a case. Hopefully that house doesn’t sell and we can get our money back from him directly for all the lies. I’ve been lucky without any major issues YET. It’s crazy how deceptive the note holder is as well, they know what they are doing. Pacifying us until they get all their money with 0 remorse.
I’ll feature this comment in an upcoming video. Extremely well put
@@Aslash304 thank you. I feel sick over this. KBB doesn’t even give an estimated value but cars are listed at $32k - $37k on Autotrader. Means trade in would prob max at $25k is my guess
I would like to have a Fisker,sadly prices are still to high here in Switzerland!
If it’s got 5 digits, it’s too high
@@Aslash304You think it will be impossible to drive to car in the Future?
@@brunoheggli2888nope. Just impossible to be able to afford to maintain it
Hello Adam. Been watching and commenting for a good while now.
Out of curiosity, what do you think it was that had people (like myself) that saw all of the things you have recently realized about Fisker, years ago. Everything you covered in the video is not new. Every single point and realization made here has been said time and time again for years (all of it, even the part of the Ocean literally being a different variation of the Arc Fox has been known, and pointed out for 3 years now). Yet so many failed to, or refused to believe it or even hear it. Banning, silencing, and abuses were made regularly by this community, and its "members" for years. I watched your channel because you have been the sole voice of reason and honesty.
So what was it that made you see the "light"? Was there a specific moment? Or perhaps it was when you got the car yourself and were introduced to the truth? I am genuinely curious what made you change your feelings and opinions of Fisker.
“Going Concern.” That was the moment. It was the day after my delivery.
How was Rivian R1T unfinished? I got delivery early May 2022. Took a road trip immidiately had 0 issues.
If you are still running the same software from that road trip , and no features have been added, I stand 100% corrected.
@@Aslash304 it's a different software, they are improving but the change so far has not been that significant. Better ride quality, some more info, superchargers rating, supercharger access. But overall Truck was functional, roughly 7 years in he making before release. Remeber seeing one in person in 2019 and waiting 3 years to get it. That's the way it's done unfortunately. First deliveries were to employees only to fix those bugs. Then general public.
What do you do when the car is financed?
7:31 Step 2. Happy to help if you have additional questions
Hello - i know you've moved on from your Fisker experience - has anyone come to you asking if the consumer protection act can be used against Fisker? They are selling cars at dealers - knowingly that there will never be parts available for small or large repairs
It’s all in the courts. I’ll cover this in an upcoming video.
@@Aslash304 hmmm - I've been given a very low ball offer by my Fisker ocean extreme. Holy Cow, is there any way I can learn more soon? I don't want to give up chance of recouping some money and still get out of the car. Please !
There's absolutely NO reason for anybody to be salty with you Adam. Anybody feeling salty about this video is not rooted in reality. I lost 5250 on this con man, and it will forever piss me off. I am thankful that I saw through all the lies and unfulfilled promises last fall. It saved me from making a larger financial mistake. This con man and his wife should be behind bars.
That's what happened to us too! 100% agree with you!
Well said. Top marks!
Exactly. He has the same criminal energy as Trevor Milton.
Hes not a conman!
@@brunoheggli2888 he is the very definition of a con man. Let of guess. You were stupid enough to buy a Fisker Ocean.
You made me laugh, cry and cry some more 😢 I can ONLY thank GOD at this point that I didn’t use my Tesla as a trade in but this $1000 payment hurts every single day I have to get in this car and pray that it takes me where I’m going safely
YOU WILL BE OKAY I REALLY LOVE THIS CAR AND IT WILL GET BETTER >
I have had my Fisker Ocean for a month now and I put in 1000 miles on it so far. I understand your frustration as an owner BUT 12 years ago Tesla had tons of problems when starting out. Even with the Cybertruck that came out they have tons of issues. I think Fisker will (might) survive this storm since they have a great product that needs work or to say they released it too soon. I got my car with 2.0 Software and it drives great and the only issue I have is the roll back but I used to drive manual cars other than that it's a great car for ME. I'm NOT selling it and I'm keeping it until newer software comes out.
I hope it works out for you. I really do
If anybody starts a class action lawsuit for a breach of warranty and products and features that I paid for but never received, I'm all in. (I'm an Ocean One Owner)
I’ll keep you posted
@Aslash304 but who would pay out?
Its a genuine question, as a lawsuit is certainly deserved. I just don't see who will pay out if you win.
Hey Adam! Nice job. I feel the same way. I never know if my wife, daughter, or I will have an issue driving, I've turned off all the audio alarms and left visual only, but it still gives audio alarms (phantom, I might add). I'm in so deep. The wife says we have to wait because someone will buy the company. I explained, but she believes they (Fisker and the Loan Shark) can't do that. Connie's point about buying (even from a startup) should come with basic safety, and I feel the Ocean "says" it does, but I don't always feel safe in it. I won't go on b/c you covered it here in your summary video. Curious, I looked up my FOE value on KBB about a month ago. I put in my VIN, and it says I cannot find it. I wish Ocean owners could get a lawsuit and win, but in the end (as one of you and your viewers pointed out), there's no money.
Okay, let me put my plate number in. Nope, still couldn't find it. Then, I thought, let me see if I can trade it in for a Model Y (not that I want one for personal reasons). Anyway, fast forward almost 2 weeks, and they emailed me. I'll paraphrase, "Due to the current Fisker financial situation, we cannot accept your Fisker Ocean as a trade-in." Therefore, I'm looking for a way to get out of this with the least negative impact and still get a reliable EV. So, bring on your next video!
You got it. I’ll feature this as the basis for it
App will unlock and lock doors as well as open and close the trunk hatch
Not on mine
And i's over for me. I turned down my INCREDIBLE deal on an Ocean One. The last 2 issues threw me over to the do NOT buy. First is an owner with a grinding AC sound. She lives in Arizona and so do I. It's not the AC issues it's the lack of timely service and parts. I can't imagine being in Arizona where it will hit over 110 and not able to drive the Ocean until fall and that's IF Fisker services to even be able to get parts and service. AND Roadside Assistance. Some are downplaying this saying get AAA. Fisker was almost too generous with towing, which AAA does, but a car rental, lodging for those stuck in nowhere's land, warranty service (yeah right) and shipping the Ocean back to you repaired. This is per contract and now it's a breach of contract, fraud, and disrespectful. Add those 2 together and I almost feel like using the F word when I say "Oh ______ NO. Absolutely NOT!!!!! This company and/or the note holder should be investigated and since there is no cash for a lawsuit to get in recovery there should be jail time for this ABSOLUTE FRAUD!!!!
A good deal on an ocean is no deal.
@@Aslash304 then I got a great deal as I walked away. Can’t imagine getting a car with zero warranty and from a company and/or note holder that is acting criminally. There better be a consequence to this as contracts were written and defrauded against. If no money for a financial penalty then there needs to be jail time.
I've made a decision, to turn my will, and my life, back to, and re-develop, a concious contact with diesel fuel, as I would continue to understand it. I have cleared all three EVs, and all associated paraphenalia from my life, and will now continue to keep my side of the street spotlessly clean of Ponsi involvement and lies. Amen.
This comment is why I’m mad at Henrik Fisker. It’s now okay for you to say this.
Absolutely I’m in for a lawsuit! So depressing to acknowledge we’ve made a mistake. For me, it’s the only car I have. So if there’s a problem I’m calling Hertz to pick up a rental?? Infuriating…. Or quit making payments, let Chase (aka Fisker Financial) repossess it? And take the hit on my credit? Infuriating. I still have the random warnings: lane assist not available, some brake warning, my charge port door is open (it’s NOT). I didn’t rely on any of those systems, so I guess I’m not missing anything, but I paid for them!! One day it takes 4 clicks to unlock the car, the next day it opens with the first click! One thing I discovered recently - my Ocean flipped into Park while I was driving, but I realized it was when I sat up to adjust my jacket and my butt came off the seat for a second. I guess it sensed that I had jumped out the window?? At 30 mph!! Funny, not funny. I’m so embarrassed that I took a chance on Fisker, believing that he learned from the Karma experience and wouldn’t let that happen again, but it did. I too received an email stating that the ‘trial period’ for certain items will expire in Dec. But like you I paid for the winter pkg!! There was a big space between the first few items and the winter pkg items; I’d like to think that it was a major typo and it’s missing the heading - ‘these are the items you’ve paid for and we hope you continue to enjoy them’. Ugh… I have a hard time even saying/typing that with a straight face! And anyway, who’s going to be working there in Dec to turn those items off? LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I still love to drive it. But do I have the nerve to take a trip in it? Not sure…. Thank you for all you’ve done, Adam, I really appreciate it!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience! It’s a great car, until it becomes infuriating. Lots of little things add up to one big annoyance a lot of times. I appreciate your input and your viewership!
Once Henrik pulled the heat pump on the Sport I canceled my order ($200 loss). Smart move in hind sight. Not so smart, is the $6,000 I have lost as an investor……silly me!
I’m very sorry about your loss. And weather does do about a 50 mile swing on the range in the Sport.
Brother, thank you very much for saving me a headache and financial loss from purchasing this for ocean.
My pleasure
I subscribed recently because I stumbled upon the story of the Fisker via Consumer Reports discussing Fisker, and your videos examining the ownership of the car as a consumer but also discussing and exploring the behind the scenes, interviewing dealers, reviewing finance documents, arguing against narratives that denied the reality, like that the one guy's "unfair" negative review killed Fisker and it's all his fault.
You should be proud of the effort you put into covering this situation, and I look forward to what you have in the future.
I'm not a Fisker owner, but I'm someone who can't stand the scams and garbage designs and decision making happening in the EV space right now.
I appreciate this very much! More videos to come!
I get about 3 miles a day in Maryland parking outside. Not a ton but not "nothing"
Not nothing is a perfect description of the solar roof range.
@Aslash304 we'll likely never be able to power the current battery technology within any reasonable timeframe with permanently placed solar panels. Especially not one of this size. That was always a cool, but practically useless gimmick. However I like teasing ICE owners when I ask them how many miles to the gallon does your car put back in the tank when it's parked?
And when you consider average driving of less than 30miles per day, adding 3 miles just from the sun ain't bad at all.
I’d like to sell mine as well and have been hesitant about the losses I’d take. I’m ready to move forward if anyone has ideas on how to get that process going I’d be very appreciative.
It’s not hard go to a dealer and trade it in or take a 60-70% loss at carmax
I’ll work on this for you.
Please tell me your new car is not a vinfast. The car that is best described as all the downsides of EVs with none of the upsides.
No, that would be any hybrid!😏
Good guess. No correct guesses yet
I lost about $400 with the deposit and stock investment. A poor choice in retrospect but I’d rather be out $400 rather than $60,000. Live and learn Adam!
Learning initiated.
I sadly bought the Ocean Extreme with cash. I am never going to get the value of the car. I hope to drive it for 2 years and then sell or donate it. My wife is turned away from all startup auto manufacturers now, and I want an Aptera.
Also going on a road trip this summer with the Ocean. We will see how that works out.
I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks. My wife axed using my car as the AC is not working. Hopefully, I can get service.
So why does Tesla get shat on in the news weekly but Fisker isn't mentioned on any mainstream media
Because fisker aren't important.
Because Tesla does Fisker’s total all time sales every 3 days?
Tesla doesn’t purchase advertising so media doesn’t mind painting them in a bad light to gain clicks, Fisker is mostly unknown by the general public so it wouldn’t generate much attention.
Feel you. My Ocean One (in my case, one of the very first vehicles ever delivered) is the worst investment I've ever made. I was ready to return the car 2 weeks after delivery (when the main battery completely collapsed and had to be replaced). Fisker's SVP Marketing, Sales, and Service (Europe), convinced me over numerous phone calls not to do it. He would "personally ensure that all issues will be resolved". Hahaha... good one. So let's face it: we are basically paying some sort of "dumb tax" here, not just for that brick on wheels that lost 50% of it's value over just a few weeks or months but additionally in form of the loss in share value. Basically, we all fell for this serial con man. We should have realized that his strategy to make his obviously incompetent wife COO and CFO was just helpful to avoid any transparency. Could we take legal action against him? Probably not. And even if we could: The "Billionaire power couple" has secured their assets and there is nothing left for all the defrauded customers and business partners.
I’m so sorry about your experience. Thanks so much for sharing
The worst? Come on man...
Car are designed to cause a person to emote. It’s that part.
Is there a word to describe worse than worst? If so, that's what this car is. (Embarrassed One owner here.)
- there should be a lawsuit
- owners NEED to band together
- I don't know who can take this case, but there's absolutely no reason a reputable law firm wouldn't take it. All it takes is one person to start the game
No money no game fool!
A lawsuit requires someone with money able to pay out if you win. There is no such thing here...
@@wizzyno1566 note holder should be held responsible and accountable to us
I agree with this
I lost $16 k in fisker stocks 😂
I appreciate the honesty, and I’m sorry about your experience
It is like we don’t have the same car 😂 I bought the Ocean knowing the risk, fully expecting to be in for a ride with the bugs and other issues. So far I love the car and will keep it as long as I can. A loss is not a loss untill it is realized. Any other new car would cost me the same in loss over 3-4 years as the ocean cost me period. 😊
Double emoji points. Gap insurance it is
@@Aslash304 for me it is a risk I am willing to take. It is not the end off the rope for me if the car breaks down on me, but it is cool if it does its job for how long I want it to. If it breaks in a few years I am towing it to the dump and writing it off as a fun gamble 👍🏻 I use it for long trips and it is my daily, works as a charm
Very well done video. Don’t listen to the fanboys. Being honest about your experience is ok. I worry about the state of the EV market. Fisker is toast. Rivian and Lucid don’t look very far behind. Musk seems unhinged and has been making unrealistic promises for years.
It’s a tough market
I'm glad I canceled my fisker pre order. It's crazy how it already depreciated and it just released this year. That would've been a financial loss 📉
I took one for sure. Good choices on your part.
Unfortunately, you traded in your model Y. Stands for EVERYTHING the Fisker Ocean doesn’t.
No choice. The dealer wasn’t going to finance my negative equity. The Ocean came through and wrecked my entire vehicle ownership reality.
Hello Adam, I have had my Fisker Ocean for a month now and I put in 1000 miles on it so far. I understand your frustration as an owner BUT 12 years ago Tesla had tons of problems when starting out.

I'm NOT selling it and I'm keeping it until newer software comes out. I wish you luck on your next EV and I think your model Y is what you need to keep driving at the moment.
Fisker aren't Tesla. Just sayin'.
@@wizzyno1566 FISKER IS IN THE BABE STEPS - LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS
@@jacksoft2597 but they're not tesla. And its not 2012 with no competition. So its a silly comparison.
@@guzelkadn3570you have a worthless useless car. Its hilarious.
Your opinions and feedback are welcome here
The new Fisker conman….bwahaa. Funniest video that also makes you want to cry.
I felt the same way
Glad to hear you got rid of it. Cool cool cool. ;-)
It hurt. In every way.
@@Aslash304 it’s sad the owner and his wife were such con artists and so many fell for it. The Simpsons monorail episode comes to mind.
I just bought a Mache Six months ago and it’s worth $10k less now.
And Yep the shaft always hurts.
Well said sir.
I appreciate this!
You'll never been seen in a Fisker again - has it gone?? I only ask because I am yet to even find a way of making the disposal, no one will even make an offer on the product! I paid £61,000 in full for the vehicle and I can't see anything coming back from that either. It took two years to save for it (Put down a deposit 2 years ago) and aside from that, I also lost all the equity from an Audi A6 Quattro which, with hindsight, was a totally dumb thing to have done.
Still, as long as Henrik has a roof over his head...
I’m so sorry to hear this
you are going through the stages, hopefully you come out the otherside ok
I AGREED
Other side reached.
Ok so how/where/how much did you sell it for?
Full details in an upcoming video.
You big tease. Glad to see you got out. Hope the bath was not too big.
It’s detailed in the video. I lost $18,000 in equity in real time at the point of sale. $27k total loss overall (not counting taxes and fees).
Fob works fine now after the update. But they definitely botched it.
Agree
If you accidentally dropped the FOB and it broke, what would you do? No replacement FOB, No PAAK. No NFC card. No Service....great car!
I think it is to late to sell the car now. Your best bet is to keep it, drive it and hope that some Chinese company picks up the assets which is sure to happen. At least it is a solid build car by Magna Steyr. A rotating screen is fucking stupid on any car in my opinion.
Thanks for your feedback.
Farewell amigo.
Thanks for watching
