    Unfortunately, a lot of investors were taken for a ride by Henrik Fisker who by the Forbes Magazine estimate is worth $1.6B! Please help me out, how do you get that rich by building companies and taking them to bankruptcy? Regardless, I do believe that Fisker Ocean is a great EV in its price range, but designing cars and running the business are two different skills.

    But Sam, citing pre-orders means nothing in terms of real world orders. 75% of the preordered F-150 Lightings were cancelled. The EV market is nearing saturation, as is the ICE market because folks just can’t afford things anymore in the US.
    Simply saying the EV market is going to grow by using pre-orders as data point just doesn’t work in 2024. The dozens of F-150 lightings on my local Ford Stores lot proves that fact.

    • @billh2294

    Fisker is a brilliant designed car - and that metal blue one is rock and roll. In Denmark i have only seen the ocean ones that are sold at +80.000 Eur (and same price for used models) and surely Fisker should have entered the market with the 30-40.000 Eur version's, so perhaps that's where Fisker is repeating the mistakes that Lucid is having. Also the ones that are for immediate delivery 4-15 days uptill 90.000 EUR...... Pricepoint is the key here. They should have shipped a tzunami of the Pear's instead.....for a more affordable price....

    Magna Steyr are responsible for building the car, however they are not responsible for the buggy software, that is on FIsker. All the problems with the cars are related to software and not on the actual hardware or build quality, so you calling out Magna is quite harsh, when they are not clearly responsible for the horrible software and fiskers complex sale strategy.

    When Fisker announced his - wonderfully designed - car would be built at Magna, I wondered how Magna got their experience in building a state-of-the-art EV in the meantime. Certainly not with a stone-age platform. And hence my - not necessarily correct - conclusion was, if they just used a modified platform of the one they used for the Jag, which could explain why it has not many EV centric advantages (like a frunk). It is basically a beautifully designed shell with some interesting features (to me at last), like the windows and the solar sunroof (which opens, try to find these today - most panoramics are fixed) - but there you are. It is intended to make the car interesting without enough substance.

    Fisker was screwed when Tesla dropped their price in Jan 2023 so one could get a Y for 15,000 less than the Ocean One or their top model. When I heard about software being incomplete I did not follow through with my purchase. I forfeited my $5000. If Fisker would of dropped the Ocean One to $60,000 I would of purchased it. I have no quarrels with forfeiting my $5000 deposit because I still save money buying a Y long range. Fisker should of taken another $10000 to $15000 loss on each vehicle to sell every vehicle they were making instead of sticking to their price of $70000 for the top version. Now they are going bankrupt.

    Sorry Sam, but your opinion on the i-pace is just nonsense. The battery issues were LG's fault, and you most likely have never driven one. I have for many thousands of miles and while it's not particularly efficient or a quick charger, it's immensely fun to drive and has better driveability than 95% of EVs on the market.

    The car isn't complete garbage like you are painting the picture to be. While it does have issues there are plenty of positives about it. Sadly starting a car company is expensive and most will fail. My gut feeling says they released this car too early and at the wrong time so it hastened the demise of the company. They never offered a lease like they had promised, They didn't offer great financing until too late, They didn't get that the software release ready, Etc etc etc. I drove the car and really liked it. It had lots of potential, but the software is horrible. Would love to see someone buy the assests and figure out how to salvage it.

    I had a Karma reservation until the first deliveries started and the reviews came out. I dropped my reservation immediately. Fisker is a great designer, but an awful business man. Henrik gets the simple business principles wrong. 3F to him is Function Follows Form, not Form Follows Function, something that will always fail. Look at the Z8, fantastic looking car, one the most beautiful BMWs ever made, but an awful car to drive, cramped and expensive. The Ocean is a great design, but engineering wise there’s just too much going on. California Mode, Taco Trays, turning screens. All stuff that costs millions to build, support and are utterly useless. The Magna manufacturing outsource model makes sense. As they can build high quality cars, like the Gclass and the Jag. But only at a price. You get from them what you can afford. Hence the Ocean isn’t the best built. And the moment you start falling back on contractual payments, there is nowhere else to go when they stop producing. Also, warranty issues aren’t Magna’s problem, but Fisker’s. The same that killed the Karma and VanMoof. Warranty claims.

    I think the Fisker Ocean is a pretty decent car and most of the complaints about it are software related, i.e. they could be fixed. But Fisker the person, really does seem to have issues delivering vehicles in an acceptable state and with turning a profit. I wouldn't be surprised if Oceans were being sold below cost due to 3rd party manufacturing and the company goes bankrupt, just like various Fisker iterations before it. Like I said, I think the car is pretty cool. But that's no good if the software is terrible.
