Thank you yet again Adam for being upfront, honest and sharing this bumpy journey with us!!
Thanks for watching!
I keep my FOO no matter what. I bought the Ocean to drive ,not investment. I will continue to enjoy drive my Ocean till whatever.
A solid choice. I wish you luck
But can you really say you enjoy it? I mean half the stuff doesn’t work.
I respect
An investment is something that appreciates. Why would you reference this as an investment? This is not a stock or a 401k. It’s a car.
Since when a car is an investment?
You are 100% business, 0% emotional. You understand a dealer doesn't hate you, it's just business. The risk they have to assume and the risk you have to assume is what you look at. You are the perfect negotiator. Great job.
This is very true. Facts here
Best direct replacement looks like a Honda Prologue. More expensive than a Model Y but Honda runs in our family and doesn't make me feel like I need a shower after reading the news cycle.
Good points here
Decent electric assist bicycles can be had for less than a thousand dollars these days, and good used bicycles without electric assist are at historic low prices used right now. They beat walking, and in dense cities can actually be the fastest form of transportation. Wear a helmet. Buy a good lock from Kryptonite.
Excellent advice
Will miss your Fisker videos; thanks for all the info you've provided. I like the adventure of the Ocean even if it's not always enjoyable.
Plenty more videos on the company to come.
No Mather what Henrik Fisker can design beautiful cars. I just wish he had handed over the business part to competent people. Too bad you had to take a loss on your Ocean but glad you got out.
Im a car enthusiast and im also sure an Ocean could drive by me and I wouldnt notice it
@@shckltnebay the overall shape is like most mid size SUV,s so I get that but there is good looking details. Other of his cars like Karma was more stunning.
@@DuesenbergJ totally agree about the karma I thought it was a great looking car. I guess I'm just not a fan of small SUVs
It’s like if Michelangelo painted you a beautiful self portrait, dropped it off at your house, and then punched you in the face on way out the door, breaking your nose. You can always cherish the portrait. And it will also be hard to forget how he broke your nose
@Aslash304 what I said. The car is great, the brand ah not.
Congratulations on getting out! I really liked your new Prologue!!
Thanks so much. I’ll continue to report on Fisker, and I’ll share the Prologue Journey as well!
Good move. Cut your losses while there's still some market value.
Agreed
I guess I’m lucky as I have a few cars on the drive, but I’m gonna keep putting 1000+ miles a month on the Ocean for now.
I love driving it and so plan to get the most out of it I can, which for me means maximising the miles it gives me in return for what I paid for it.
This is the most financially sound solution
I saw an Ocean drive in front of my house today... I feel like I saw a unicorn!
You did.
You have done a super job for Fisker community and or customers. Tesla is still the best bet. There is a reason that so many people buy them.
Yes there is. A wonderful car indeed.
It’s just a car and some of the other channels still clinging to hope that fisker will make it are delusional. Of course there is a small chance they make it but….. glad you got out and can’t wait to see the new car!
Video in 2 hours
Delusional?
@@FiskerOceanSpecialist
So many FISKER channels are hoping and praying that Fisker makes it which I mean ultimately I hope they do, but they probably won’t
But they take news that most of us would consider bad and somehow spin it in the most positive life when reality is, they’re just setting themselves up for further disappointment.
I hope they make it. It’s better when we have more competition however it seems extremely unlikely.
I wish I could share what I know 😒 but I take trust very serious. There’s a good reason I’m sticking in my FOO.
@@FiskerOceanSpecialist
Here’s hoping
But unless they come into a boatload of money or somebody acquires them, which I don’t see why anybody would I don’t see another alternative other than bankruptcy
But again, I’m not an expert just my speculation
I think you were fortunate to have purchased the most exclusive Fisker vehicle every produced unlike those mass market Ocean One owners...
One owners and extreme owners definitely took a bigger hit.
Adam thank you for this great video and THANK YOU for the BRUH 😂😂
I will carry the BRUH like a badge of meme honor
The DeLorean from Back to the Future (running on Mr. Fusion compacter at 1.21 Gigawatts) 🤣🤣😆
Way too much Tesla anxiety going on with some folks. The Model Y under warranty is pretty much the perfect car for most people. You can get a gently used 2022-2023 in the low 30s 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah, why did he say Tesla is a bad name? I think it is the BEST true American made electric car in the market. I don't get why people buy into the media or RUclips hipe smashing Tesla for no good reason. I don't get it???
@@stephenpales1615it's simple Tesla is like an arsehole EVERYBODY has one
Tesla is a great car. The best EV by leaps and bounds. Most people who bought a Fisker were looking for an alternative to a Tesla.
@@TheEVGuy-rx9ju I don't see that as a negative 🤷🏾♂️
@@Aslash304 Now this is a true statement! Not everyone wants or likes the Tesla design. Each to their own in a free market. Tesla did set the standard for EV cars and people desire the features and software but desire an alternative looking car or SUV. I get it, but it's the standard EV makers shoot for in vehicle capabilities. Tesla is a true American made electric car.
Adam, You’re a winner for focusing on the objective process to cut your losses and move on. And giving your best advice and the how-tos to your viewers.
I appreciate this. It’s hard to admit, but it needs to be said.
If it was only mechanical failure that was a risk, nearly all of that could be DIY. However, the risk of issues with electrics and programming are show stoppers.
Couldn’t agree more.
Ok, so if not the Blazer, Honda Prologue EV. It's very sad the company went in the wrong direction out of stupidity, narcissism, and nepotism.
Video soon!
@@Aslash304 - nailed it :)
You, and your Fisker buyers , did not make a mistake. You all worked in good faith. This was a pre-ordained outcome of using federal largesse, and parachuting out of the situation, on a golden parachute, before the next election. Just like Solyndra, same game plan, just like the other car this guy made and Failed at. If you look at the pattern, all the electric car companies and any green energy credit companies are ALL doing this before the Election. The Federal grants are over, the money is spent and a few people will sail away to bermuda to perhaps think of another failed start up, car or windmill or battery company. Ford , Chevy, all the big players are getting out at the same time? what is the Pattern? An Election and no more grant money for clean energy. There is going to be alot more close downs, shut downs, Vapor-Ware care companies and promises before all this is over. Great Channel and Videos and no DisRespect Meant.
I welcome the perspective
Hey Adam. Nice job. A lot to cram into the video but you definitely have your point. Sigh, and move onto another vehicle with a manufacturer that's been around. For me, I've finally convinced the wife that I need to get out from "under the Ocean." Even as a free diver I can't continue to hold my breath forever (yup I went there ;) ). Therefore, I've reached out to my Honda dealer whom we've had a 20+ year relationship and working on a deal. Hopefully within the week! I'll keep you posted.
I’m looking forward to hearing the results! Also, double pun points!
I would add the Jaguar I-Pace to the list, lots of them are coming off lease and a few are certified pre-owned which means they would have some warranty coverage.
You’re right ,they are cheap, Except that they have the same battery fire problem as the Bolt and the Original Kona EV, but with no recall.
I cant comprehend myself taking a $30k loss voluntarily. I am hoping that it continues to get me to work and back for a few years. Even tho i love driving the car if all things were equal and i didnt lose that much money, I'd get out in a heartbeat.
My loss is complete and measurable. I no longer have to have insurance on it. I was in a constant state of anxiety. I also felt like keeping it was me representing something I didn’t want to be a part of. I also realize I may have stronger feeling about what I drive than others. But, yeah….30k, gross.
Traded mine in on March 28th for 38k, at same time they dropped price on new ones. So glad dealer didn’t see the news that morning. Caravan wouldn’t make an offer
A very good day to trade
I've seen 4 new Oceans on sale at a EV specific dealer when I was helping my mother shop for an EV. She had 0 interest and was looking at the used Jaguar I-Pace right beside it. Ironic since IIRC the I-Pace and Ocean are both practically made at the same facility by Magna Steyr in Austria.
Yes. Except the iPace uses Magna parts. Well said. You have a mother with excellent taste.
How does gap coverage factor into the equation? Back story unlike others, my gap isn’t subject to the 20% above market value cap that others have suggested…mine will make me whole relative to my loan balance.
Gap coverage is the best option to protect yourself
I have some advice on an EV, actually an EV for 170ish miles and then, magically, becomes a hybrid. I actually own a 2020 BMW i3s REX. REX stands for range extender. There is a small scooter engine using 2.3 gallons of gas that runs a generator to maintain the high voltage battery state of charge. The advantage. I came back from California to Arizona, 320 miles. After 170-180 miles, and yes you can get 180 miles, I had to stop for electric. A 3 car wait for electric. Guess what, press a button and that gas engine kicks on for another 80 miles. So I wave bye. Next charging location even worse, a 4 car wait. I get another 2.3 gallons of gas and wave bye again. Take 180+80+80 and that's 340 miles and I'm in our garage. You do have to be careful. If you are going uphill at 75mph with AC blasting you will lose charge even with the REX on. So, don't turn it on with too low a charge as I have lost 7% electric. So, I turn it on at 20% charge, I loose 7% but on the downhill the regeneration recovers and even exceeds the loss. And you have to hack the programming using beemercode so you can turn on the REX at any charge less than 75% as US sets the REX to only computer controlled at 7% state of charge. You want to hack it so you have control of turning it on. Oh, I forgot to mention, the BMW i3, from 0-30 is faster than a Tesla and living in Scottsdale, AZ, where I see 3-4 Tesla's per mile, NO WAY am I considering a Tesla, NO WAY!!!! I'll also add that in Arizona with gas at $3.89/gal and electrify america charging .57 cents/kWh it's actually less expensive to run on gas vs. electric. Home charging is a great savings. Just get a 2019 or newer to get the larger battery.
I had a plug in hybrid. They are like turning your driving experience into a video game.
@@Aslash304 keeps you alert, that’s for sure. I could probably teach an advanced mathematics class with my advanced ability to crunch numbers.
Good for you. There is nothing but trouble on this one. Sadly, real problems not even start yet.
Agree
Fisker has been using Adesa facilities to process vehicles before delivery since the summer. Nothing new.
Thanks for the feedback
Mr the person who refers to everything as "WE" channel can't seem to get it through his head and eventually it's going to go down and bankrupt himself thinking that Fisker is coming back.I wish he would give it up.
To each their own…
I don’t see part 2 yet. When are you posting it?
After I compile some owner data
Fisker have been using Adesa from the get go.
Thanks for this
If i could get a sport for cheap enough id love to pull those batteries to supplement my current battery system :)
A very good use case. That’s why I got one.
Hi Matt, can you please provide some guidance to Ocean owner like me. I am financing my ocean extreme from chase. It still have $66k pending on my loan. Now, I am a bit worried about Fisker ocean and wanna trading for an used EV costing $39k. Is it possible to trade in with negative equity or I am stuck( just fyi, not in a position to spend any more currently) ?? Thoughts??
This Video explains the process starting at 6:42. Based on what you owe, you’re about $37k underwater (best case scenario). You’d need to find an alternative way to finance around $28k (assuming you can get $29k for your Ocean) in negative equity if the dealer would roll the maximum average negative equity into your loan (125%). And it’s Adam, for future reference. Hope this helps.
After this fiasco I doubt anyone would trust Henrik again and fund his next pipe dream. In a way, I kind of feel bad for him. The Pear and his other ev lineup did look promising... Maybe he can sell those designs to another manufacturer who's willing to make them. Time will tell. 🤔
A bad run for him on this one
Buying the Ocean MIGHT have been a mistake. Having the Paramount+ and Starz subscription however definitely was one. Congrats on canceling those 😇
While I’m not sure if the cars can’t be worth something in due time (just look at Karma prices) your reasoning with a potential final auction sell off makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated
It’s a HUGE gamble. Decide if you’re a betting person or get up from the table. I’m checking my options and hugely upside down.
Kenny Roger's advice. You gotta know when to hold em. Know when to fold em. Know when to walk away and when to run.
I hope you find an alternative
Its hard to sell a car with the AC vents not working and the software is not updated
You don’t have to tell anyone the vents don’t work.
Maybe Fisker owners SHOULDN'T sell their car. Wouldn't it be smarter to buy a second one on the used market for parts?
I bought an electric bike and the battery exploded. I’ll just buy a second battery.
One last comment. The folks that bought Oceans on the fire sale. You guys didn't do too badly as you bought at $37k, which you can find Oceans at that price. I found one, at $33k, but turned it down. But at $33k, my case, with your trade value at $25k that's not all that upside down. And, as long as it doesn't immediately break down you might be ok. Say it last 3 years, relatively trouble free, there might be service from those like the Fisker King which, depending on where you live it might be a $3k round trip shipping to him with a delay to get it back, but you didn't pay $70k so you might be ok with that. And if it gets totaled, I wonder what insurance would give you? You might not lose a penny if you paid $37k or $33k like I could have.
I don't folks can count on Fisker King. He's technically Fisker Karma King. He doesn't have access to Fisker's code and might not be a programmer. Even the programmers are having difficulties. A lot of the problems are intermittent. Those are the most problematic. When and if this guy becomes the Fisker Ocean King, I will consider the car at the right price.
Take out the hypotheticals, and you’re left with a car with no company. $1,000 is the cheapest any labor will cost will be because there will only be a few experts. And they deserve it for the effort it will take to become experts and source parts. And it would have to be towed hundreds of miles in best case and thousands in worst case scenarios every time it needs something. It’s an old Lamborghini with no resale value. The only saving grace is the battery pack. It’s worth the wholesale aftermarket value of the battery pack.
Did you tell the person who bought your Ocean that they were making a mistake?
The dealership?
So who should buy it from you?
A dealership bought it. I’m very happy about that.
@@Aslash304Great!
Why pay 10k to buy another car, just drive it for three or four years, and THEN sell it. Have you seen how much Fisker Karma’s are going for?? They were cheaper in the past. At a certain point, they depreciated so low, it has to make sense to own one.. there WILL be service folks setting up special services for these…..
Agreed. The service could be hundreds of miles away. Need a part? Just have your car shipped and then pay whatever the asking price is (any price is fair because there is no alternative, and it takes lots of effort to put together the resources) for the part and the shipping, and what would normally be a $750 repair ends up $5,000 after shipping and sourcing and effort from the shop. And the waiting. There’s no such thing as quick turnarounds. But, you’re right. There’s a non-zero chance that nothing will go wrong.
So as I understand it if the company was still viable and had a warranty and Service dept, you’d still be OK with the vehicle? So it’s really not the car itself that you fear it’s the company.. At the end of the day, you drive the car not the company… That was my point if they’re cheap enough, you have to associate the risk with the investment.. Still damn hard to buy that range at this point in time.. What if it drove for 200 K with no issues? Maybe there’s a software update in the future that will help but the core of it seems solid to me..
Smart move Adam! Ignore the haters.
I appreciate this!
where did you trade in the Ocean
C Harper Honda. I believe it’s listed for sale on their website.
Yea, it was time for you to start reviewing another EV company for Elon so that Elon has less competition. Glad you got out without a big loss. I really think you put together great videos. Most are informative, but few are positive in any way. MKDHB, on the other-hand, did not create daily videos to try to crash the share price of the stock. Hope you covered your puts and your short position, and wish you well.
I think that the most interesting part of your video was the large amount paid for a car supposedly worth only half of the $35k retail value. Carvana must think that your rare Ocean Sport will be worth near retail in the coming weeks. Now that is news.
Hope you have better luck on your new vehicle. Buy a BMW Ocean Sport for me and try to crash BMW so that I can buy the stock cheaper. A whine each day keeps the investors away.
Henrik please stop trolling here! Your time is over.
Very sensible and thoughtful analysis of this video. We all learned something here. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort.
adam, or any one willing to help. i desperately need help. I made the terrible decision to convince my dad to get the fisker ocean one as a retirement gift to himself, and well you know the rest. I desperately need someone’s help in getting this car off his hands. i’ve been searching around but nobody and i mean nobody was really willing to take. i’m in socal
You’ll most likely have to trade for something else. And, being that SoCal is much more in tune with EVs than most places, it may be harder. I’d start searching outside the area. Decide what a good replacement will be, and look for dealers that have them.
Good move, painful no doubt, but better now while the car has still some value at all..
Yes. I feel better too.
I am so impressed with your attention to detail that I wish it was under better circumstances; I'm trapped with the Fisker one.
You're not trapped, drive it and enjoy it. Don't let others experience ruin yours. I'm driving mine and enjoying it! It's the only car on the planet with a true personality of it's own, love it!
@@stephenpales1615 I appreciate your words of upbeat however I’ve just had an experience that you will not believe since day one my experience has been horrible far short from a $72,000 car with not being able to drive it my first week because I didn’t have the plates with not being able to get in my car for 35 minutes. This is happened three times with the car just suddenly stopping while my wife is driving while the car goes into park while I’m reversing you know the normal things that happened for a high in car. It’s so much anxiety so yes, I would hope that it would be a situation where I’m being controlled by others, but that’s not the case cause I’m living real life horrible situations it does make my day a little bit better to know that you’ve had a better experience so keep on driving your ocean.
I feel for the community, and will continue to help.
Adam I see you as a Lyriq Boy....I hope your next EV was/is the Lyriq...
A very nice vehicle indeed
The price is gonna settle on what PEOPLE think it's worth while weighing all the risks. Noone knows what this is. for me i honestly wouldn't buy it at any price but i guess for arguments sake it would be something like 10k.
Whatever the value of the battery is, minus the cost to disassemble it.
Nah get a CODA.
A SMART goes under 3k.
I’m so interested in what he replaced the Ocean with! The pic made me think Honda Prologue possibly.
Video today!
Bolt?
My guess is Vinfast
@@brianwolford194something boring.
@@brianwolford194Nooooo! Don't do it!
Whats your beef with tesla?
Absolutely nothing. They are the best EV. Many Fisker owners bought one as an alternative to a Tesla. Because they didn’t like something about it. My wife drives one right now, and I’ll drive more in the future.
I would happily buy an Ocean for under $30,000. Any takers?
I’ll post this in an upcoming video.
Congratulations, that could have been a lot worse. They must have factored in your channel and the free advertising
I’ll reveal more in an upcoming video
Hi Adam! What do you think about Polestar seeing as their lease deal is amazing this month? There are issues with tariffs in the US rn
Polestar is a nice car. Not at the top of my list of recommendations because they run a little expensive. But they are a great alternative
This video is baloney. Fisker has a new dealer in Guam. This says a lot.
Indeed it does. It says the someone in Guam was willing to swindle people for a couple thousand a car.
Guam is a neutral US territory that allows the import of autos to Japan. Since no sales tax is charged on a sale in Guam, and since no import duty is charged by Japan, the only charge is the automobile acquisition tax charged by Japan which is 5 percent depreciated value of the vehicle. And, I believe, used vehicles 6 months or older have no import duties as well.
@@carenthusiast684 How do you plan to change the software to Japanese? Nope, Guam is a US territory and a huge market for the Ocean. That is the market.
Guys must be desperate deeply to seek mentors on YT.
That's understandable. But the question is, how could you have fun after all of this? when nobody cares about it.
Thanks for your comment
Audi e-tron? Are you serious. They've depreciated like a falling stone.
Yes. Depreciated. Past tense. It's already done.
Every $80,000 anything does this. It’s 4 wheels and a battery. At a competitive price.
Thanks for the Wake up call - it's one of those situations where we all know what needs to be said, but no one is willing to say it. I'm just trying hard to think of the day when I might even look back on this period of my life with some form of fondness, but the trouble is, I simply don't think I'll live long enough for that to happen.
I guess we all know deep down that we are stumped, however we try to exit this chaos. I can't sell mine as I've found no-one that will even commit to a valuations, so I guess I'm taking Option 3 and keeping the thing as a museum piece!
Never mind, I always did quite like walking anyway...
Best of luck either way
I was interested in the Ocean but two things kept me from jumping in first of all my present car is only four years old and I am more a car every decade or so unless the car is really crap, the other reason is I am a little nervous of buying a vehicle when I don’t know anyone with personal experience with it.
@@gerhardk98 her sitter about what happened with your purchase. I don't know your situation or your pockets but would you mind telling me what's your plan? Do you plan to just keep it and hope nothing breaks? Maybe get a reliable beater car on the side of you have garage space?
Thanks Adam for a great video with some very useful info! In my humble opinion, the outcomes are either i) bankruptcy with no Phoenix (90% chance); ii) bankruptcy with Phoenix (5% chance); or iii) no bankruptcy. The Phoenix of course would be a takeover once bankruptcy is declared, but of course the fact that Fisker is "asset lite" means that there is really very little to take over, perhaps with the exception of a few patents and Henrik's design skills. If there is an interested suitor, then of course they also might not be interested in taking on any of Fisker Inc's obligations either, and no doubt that would be the subject of negotiations. The other side of this is that dealerships are still placing a value on the car, so they must be confident that there will still be buyers of the vehicle going forward and that they will be able to honor commitments made to those purchasing the Ocean from them.
One thing I would say that you didn't mention at all is that if the FOO is your only vehicle, then it is probably more important that you sell than if you have another reliable vehicle which you can use if things go pear shaped after bankruptcy.
Lastly, I don't think it was a mistake to buy the car, as I think if money was not a consideration that the car would have likely turned out OK - the mistake was to think that Henrik had learned from his first attempt at launching a car company, and that the relationship between Magna Steyr and Fisker was rock solid ( - it has now clearly fallen apart). At any rate, Henrik can probably retire soon, while the rest of us will be digging out from under the financial mess that this car has caused in our financial (and emotional) lives. The lesson I learn from this is that you never buy a car without test driving it first, and without knowing that the company selling it to you actually produced it to begin with.
Great feedback. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this
There is a #4 option. Do what you do with cars .. like any other tool / appliance. Use it, Drive it, Love it. When it breaks, fix it if you can. You might have to try a little harder to fix an ocean, especially an Extreme with all it's extra bits and bobs. You might even be able to fix it yourself .. if you're handy like that or want to be. Live with the community and find parts via other drivers, the EV King or other dealer titans, or just manage to move forward (pun intended) with what you have. Alternatives might present themselves or not. I've got 180,000 miles on another vehicle (2006 Mini Cooper Convertible) that I can put about $10k in and make it safe to drive, if necessary.... should my Ocean stop functioning. If the reports over a new software push are true, v2.1 or even v3, then so much the better.
This is the financially sound strategy
I bet the new EV doesnt have Cali mode, dog mode or hollywood mode!!!!
Only Teslas have dog mode. Only Fisker’s have California mode. So, extremely good guesses here.
@@Aslash304 Fiskers also have basic features missing mode. lol
Sad, but true
Good decision before it gets more worse.
Before it gets worse is absolutely correct
So good. Being “asset light” sure isn’t doing them any favors now. 😢
It makes for an entertaining slow motion train wreck though.
You might need an Android phone, Adam!
Curious? How come
@@Aslash304 Because most cars have Android automotive OS(not the infotainment)
@@effingsix3825 ALL have carplay if they have AA
You did the right thing.
Thanks for this
Agree. As long as you didn't swap to a Vinfast 😂
I would just go with the option 2 drive it until it becomes collectible. Lol
LMAO
If absolutely nothing imperfect happens, this will work.
Dont sell Fisker. the most sought car this year! Wait!
So sought after you can buy an ocean one at auction for cheaper than a base Corolla.
Always talking about the same points, stop doing videos until you get really new information
Might be time to find something to else to do
Nice job Adam. I got a quote from CarMax for my Ultra for $16,500. I paid $52K. I am stuck.
Try a dealership. I got $25k for my sport. It’s a lot of work, and you’ll have to trade for something, else, but, don’t give up
@@Aslash304 Okay. But I don’t see anyone giving over $30k when you can buy a now one for $34k. I would hate to eat $22k or more!
@@davidmerwin7763 I understand
@@Aslash304 Yep. I am in a pickle. I feel like I need to take your option 2!
bolt: "High Voltage Battery may melt and burn" 💀💀
Yep, with like 7 fake “fixes” before they decided to replace the battery
My prediction is you got a Vinfast VF8.
Youre wrong
@@shckltnebay That's unpossible!
It’s about the same size
The Angry Lemmings 😂. Move on from Fisker u guys need the mental reset 😂. The move up is really gonna disappoint because of No Bankruptcy for Fisker.
Fisker has lots of cash
@@Aslash304 ???
Huge mistake if you bought a Fisker and can't absorb the loss. Adults making this decision probably aren't going to learn anyway. They'll probably still be foolish.
There just something about a fool and their money.....
Thanks for the feedback
That’s a bit harsh. Fisker Inc. having used an establish car manufacturer for reduced market risk and speed to market was a sound plan and the car mechanically and styling wise has fairly unanimously been deemed sound. It was a reasonable expectation that the company would be managed responsibly - releasing with fundamentally buggy software and school boy failings in distribution of sold inventory couldn’t reasonably have be foreseen. And financial/Management irregularities causing the company’s collapse well that was just a curve ball.
I think any purchaser of an Ocean has just been exceptionally unlucky.
@@Antiguan_Dart Yea, my comment is harsh, I agree.
I'll disagree that it was a curve ball - Fisker's business plan was highly questionable right from the start and H. Fisker had a well deserved poor reputation as a business owner.
Actually Polestar has a similar asset light model and they haven't filed a 2023 annual report and Nasdaq just sent a deficiency notice. Volvo dumped most of their ownership.
Rivian also has very poor financials making their continued existence questionable.
If you can't afford the boat anchor - stay away
So you don't need to post anything about fisker now. You are not owner nor shareholder.
I didn't know there were such strict rules on things you're allowed to make videos on. Thanks for the heads up.
@@wizzyno1566 not strict, I didn't say he is not allowed. But now it does not make sense, because it's like saying "Lamborgini is so bad even if I don't have one".
@@martinvolek4940Not the point. He can do whatever videos he wants, whether he owns one or not. Viewers will then decide whether they are worth watching. If they're not worth watching he will be shouting into the void.
That's how it really works, not "you have to still own one to have an opinion".
That’s absurd. He’s got experience with the car and has valuable insight for those to do or are considering getting one. Also it’s just good content, I don’t own a Fisker and watch anyway.
@@TuomasLeone probably true, but there are updates that he is not able to try now, so..
A race against time...more pennies from clickbait...
Very true. This video has no information, consumer reporting, realism, objectivity, or value whatsoever. Just clicks and bait.
Did you even watch the video?
NO ONE is forcing you to watch or be a D also
This guy got his family defending him in the comment section
Hundreds of them.
