Is The Fisker Ocean As Bad As MKBHD Says? We Drive One To Find Out

- We attended a Fisker Ocean consumer drive opportunity to see what all the fuss is about. Famous tech reviewer called it "The Worst Car I've Ever Reviewed," and we wanted to find out what, exactly, is the problem(s).

I think the issue with putting it into drive was because the screen was in landscape
MKBHD was talking about the software when he was talking about how bad it was.
And the jackass reviewed an older model with software that had been outdated 2 versions ago but dealer on lot where he borrowed car had not taken the time to update software. Completely useless review by a tesla fanboi.
MKBHD is a great tech reviewer but a horrible car reviewer.
I thought he did an excellent job. The software was full of bugs
@@enadegheeghaghe6369it was also 2 versions outdated. At least one newer version had been available for at least 30 days prior to the review but dealer on lot had not bothered to update the software. The second update was just rolling out and might not have been available, but 1.11 was clearly available and he was driving with 1.09 or 1.10.
There is an odometer.
They should have named the 3 modes Earth, Wind, and Fire! What a marketing miss.
they need some native pride in style 😊🎉❤ fisker
I drive our FOO 99% in Earth mode. It is just comfortable doing so. Can’t wait for all the software updates. We are very happy with our purchase.
Glad you like it and aren't having any issues.
😂😂😂
The battery is 113kw/h but only 107 is actually usable. That sunroof opens at least another 10-12” more than you initially opened it during the orientation with the Fisker rep. Have had my FOO since Nov 2023 and now have 5100 miles including multiple trips from Seattle to Portland (and Salem), to Wenatchee (100 mikes each way over 2 mountain passes of 3k and 4k elevation) and countless drives around Puget Sound area. I love the car and pray it finds a legit new owner who will continue to support it and by some miracle, roll out features we were promised but have not yet received (independent doggie window operation/Pet Mode, Torque Vectoring, Full ADAS w/Lidar, etc).
Fun fun car to drive.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Thanks for the video. I really liked it because it simulates how a consumer may experience the car at a dealer. I can't imagine anyone considering the Ocean would have been been more interested in doing so after interacting with this salesperson. The dealer sales model will not work unless the sales people have passion about EVs and this car in particular. This sales guy, whom you treated graciously, was shockingly uniformed on all fronts. Fisker HQ should watch and learn from your video!
I test drove at the same location (brand new dealership) and the sales people are mostly contracted and came to Atlanta from as far as California. The manager was very adept at answering the questions.
Barring software issues, Ocean's design and drive is much better than Tesla. Fisker is fixing the software bugs every month and the updates are OTA. So hoping all are resolved by May/June.
What a load of toss! I have had my car since January, absolutely NO OTA updates EVER, everyday I get the promise "coming next week" indeed "coming soon" should be Fiskers sales slogan!
The energy consumption on the Ocean is absolutely HORRENDOUS MY CAR USES 600 Wats per mile, coming up double the stated use!!
@@KeithScull-ul4oo Sooooooo what version of software are you on? Have you gotten 2.0 yet? Others who have had the car since October stated that they received 4 updates between October and March.
Which model of Tesla? I think that you are just wanting affirmation for your unfounded wishes.
Thanks for the review! The odometer is in the Charge Tab in the infotainment screen. Also, going into Drive probably due to the key fob (which is a fix that is coming… NBD) or the Hollywood mode enabled.
they should have finished the car before selling it. Its a mistake on the mfg and the consumer that purchased it knowing its new tech and unproven.
Great video. Keep em comeing.
Thanks for the review
I’ve been listening to the Batteries Included podcast and its predecessor for ages, and this is the first time I’ve watched your channel. Great job!
Thank you! I think I have lots of room for improvement, so hopefully, it gets better.
I guess the hardball question you could have asked was “I thought all the Ones were sold out…why is this still knocking about 1 year after launch”? I happen to like the car and test drove one last October. Software and worry about the company being around stopped me from buying, and even back then I was told Car Play was coming in one of the next software updates. It’s hard to trust the company.
@chillmeister I approached this test drive more like a consumer, and I don't think the rep we had would have had any sort of answer for a question like that.
I agree, though, it's hard to trust a company when it's less than straightforward with info like that.
0-60 is sub 4 seconds, not sub 3 seconds.
Yeah, we saw that afterward. It still felt pretty strong from lower speeds with the battery only in the 20-some % range.
@@DriveElectricWithDomenick yea, plenty quick for an almost 3 ton vehicle! Your 3.5 second guess was pretty close.
With boost (and sticky tires) its listed at 3.7, 3.9 without boost in hyper.
IMO this car wasn’t completed, maybe because of the pressure of investor. They over promised a lot and 100% under delivered.
Is crazy that you have to pay for something with a promise that someday in this century you will have all they promised.
You mean like Tesla Full Self Driving capability. Didn't people pay $10K extra for years ago?
Fisker needs to properly train their ride-along staff, so they can properly answer questions and reduce false information. As an owner, I heard several bad responses.
Wow, did they just hire that guy the day of the event? He didn't know most of the basic information about the car and the information he did give, most of it was incorrect!
I feel there was room for improvement with its staff training. Our guy was great, just not thoroughly trained up.
Wish me luck as I drive an Ocean One from Phoenix, AZ to Philadelphia, PA and YES, I am daring to also drive back. Bummer that I missed that 4 truck drive from Florida to San Diego BUT I guess the Ocean is not a truck, but I would have tagged along just for the experience not the expolsure.
Sounds like an awesome road trip. Good luck!
Odometer is there. C’mon sales guy…be better.
I probably should have dug through the menus myself and looked for it . I'm not sure you can legally sell a car without an odometer.
I have had my FOO since December and I know it's not perfect, but it is a ton of fun to drive and the build qualtiy is great. I can't wait till the new updates are pushed out and the car reaches its full potential.
lol😂
Tried to look at the inventory in Atlanta. Since I am in Florida it wouldnt let me. Tried to configure one but the app told me I needed to be on a desktop to do so. For Realz?
It is astonishing to see how powerful Marques’s opinion is from a channel he began just over a year ago. I knew he was popular but damn!
It was known fisher was trash and to not invest in them before mkb
You didn’t test out the route planning?
Good Video Domenick and Kay
Thank you!
@@DriveElectricWithDomenick your welcome
V2L adapter socket :)
that turn signal sounds funny
Seems like the widespread negative reviews are an over-reaction. Still, that they let cars ship with blatant software glitches is a bit concerning.
I think a bass will fit. The cover in the back can pop out. You can lay the bass horizontally. But of course, if you don’t want an Ocean but just wanted a car review for your channel, we’ll then, “the bass don’t fit”.
Fisker will not be around in 5 years- too bad- competition is always good and they do have some unique ideas.
Weird that a dealership would be doing test drives with anything earlier than 2.0.
It was organized by Fisker, not a dealership, although there was a dealership rep there as well.
@@DriveElectricWithDomenick I see. Thanks for the follow up. Even weirder if that’s the case. I’m on 2.0 and it has some of the features like hill hold that you’re looking for in your video. Btw, the odometer is under the charge tab on the main screen. One of the more senior staff should’ve taken you out on the demo. The rep made a few errors.
@@onashtick I tried to approach it as a regular customer, so I didn't try to get any special treatment or anything. I probably should have pushed back on the idea that there was no odometer, though.
@@DriveElectricWithDomenickthere is. Just go to the power management screen and look under trips where it gives several odometers including lifetime, since most recent charge, current trip.
The Mazda CX-90 may be able to haul the bass.
It's one of the best things around to drive... But a review about a car from a guy who is experienced in reviewing mobile phones, it's like having an admin clerk running a business. They could do it, but they probably lack the experience to be credible to the world.
Sadly his review "policy" is BS having now watched all his videos on cars, he is hypocritical (just need to watch his latest Rivian one to know that)
Fisker is going bankrupt and owners will be left paying for their own repairs. Simple as that.
Not sure why people so obsessed with software glitches in the infotainment system. They all can be fixed over the air updates in due time. Give it few months, it’s going to give all big players a good run for their money.
First impressions are everything.
It's just bet. Even google, they announced pixel 8 never going to get next gen ai features, like gemini though they promised 7 years of software update with feature update included. Who knows? 🤷 It's also good to mention that china is undergoing sanction.
Fisker is on the verge of bancruptcy. They can afford to mess up software
The company is on the verge of bancruptcy. How is it going to give the big car companies a run for their money?
Except that they weren't fix with any over the air updates and there is a viral tiktok of a staff member saying that even with the new update, things weren't functioning as planned
Dom , sounds like your a Tesla Snob. Model 3 has so much wind and tire noise coming thru the cabin .The Ocean is way quieter and better built.
The software glitches before you started driving were a bit alarming.....15 minutes in and it looks like software is the main challenge for them right now.
alarming? i haven't seen anyone getting injured driving these cars , now batteries of Chinese cars blowing up that's alarming !
Lane keep assist warning will get activated in 3.0 version. Currently it's in 2.0
I can’t believe you have a electric vehicle channel and are so uninformed. It has an odometer and a trip meter. Didn’t even know what a vehicle to load adapter was. Also it didn’t go into drive because the screen was in wrong mode to drive.
The sales guy is the one who was uniformed
@@boomerbits2297 yes he was just as clueless
Its a very nice looking suv.
crash course, lol.
This completely misses the biggest problem with buying this car: The utter lack of costumer support and responsiveness to problems (BBB gives the company a grade 'F' solely for this reason. So good luck with your purchase!
Do you own one? Initially the customer service was terrible but has lately been exponentially better in my experience. If the software’s truly updated/fixed as promised and the customer service continues to improve, the doubters will have nothing to complain about. Truly though, its comments like your’s that have forced Fisker to improve so…..thanks!
Did you buy one? Have you dealt with customer service? It seems like the car has really triggered you but you don't really sound like a person who is interacted with the car in real life based on your general comment. High on emoton low on data. Feel free to explain more, perhaps I am wrong.
Dealerships would hopefully improve this part going forward.
Marques' review, honestly, was the worst I've ever read. He borrowers a used car from a Mitsubishi dealership, clearly wasn't kept up (it was filthy), says as softly as possible that the car actually drives well, the nitpicks about idiotic things to decide it's the worst car. Complete hack job.
I'm sure it pleased his mate elon musk.
The car being dirty was not the issue. The software was full of bugs. His description of the car was accurate.
Hit piece by a Tesla cult member, nobody expected that!
Marques' team shared that upon initially contacting Fisker to get a car to review, they wanted to know one thing, how much will this cost them. Fisker wanted to know how much a good review would cost.
The answer was nothing, we don't sell our reviews. They got silence after that. They eventually got a hold of a dealership car.
Rest is history.
So if you are objectively reviewing this Ocean one. All the bad publicity is not warrant. Now i understand more why the guy gave that really bad review. Good Luck
he was paid big time money for that review
@@user-on8yb5pv7e Whatever makes you sleep at night, right?
@carloschavez7151 `Now i understand more why the guy gave` why?
It’s not as bad… it’s worse. The design is great, has good features. But you’re not buys a book to keep on shelf. With $75k price tag, you expect reliability, service and comfort.
Well, my experience was far from it all. For the few months that I’ve had the car, it had numerous errors, problems, safety warnings, dysfunctional vents. The battery looses power very fast. Not doing anything with the car, I have to charge it every 10 days, else the charge goes to zero and even the 12v battery dies.
There is no service. You’re lucky to get response back for the tickets you open. Anyways, at that price tag, I’d buy a Mercedes EQE, with reliable service that I can trust.
This car, even if the company doesn’t go bankrupt, will take years to become a reliable car company. As a toy, you can have fun with it!
Sounds you have experienced every issue that some owners have posted about their Ocean all in one car. That's bad luck. Most people I know have loved the Ocean, are irritated about software issues that are being resolved, and uneven customer service. That's about it and par for the course for an EV start up, even (or shall I say, especially) Tesla.
So MKBHD was right after all. Fisker fans have been insulting him for weeks for his review
Agree!. I know people who are not happy at all with their Ocean! One is trying to sell it but no one wants it. For us, we canceled our reservation months ago, so glad we did.
@@Littlebittyrose yes. I listed mine for 4 month. Not even a single buyer. Fisker stuck it in us one more time, when it dropped its selling price by $5K, right after we bout the car. Anyways, I got lucky I got out of it at the end, but still lost $5,000 in the process. Better than loosing $80k of course!
@@bobi7531 ...We lost $5,000 also. Not thrilled but as you say better than $80,000! Another major concern we had was living in the East coast, how "easy" it would be to get help aka tech guy or repair guy to come to us and or bring the car to someone. From what I have read there are more unhappy or angry about their Ocean than the lucky happy owners! Looking back at all the promises aka lies that HF made, we are happy we decided to cancel.
