2024 Fisker Ocean Sport 20in

"I have a little over 30k miles on my Ocean. I haven't done very much to it except charge it and wash it. I've had 5 of the BMW 3 series and I loved them, but every one was in the shop at least once or twice by now, including an engine replacement at 20k. On my Ocean, sometimes the cruise control is spotty? Maybe I got lucky, but it's been fine. The Ocean is the bargain of a lifetime right now for what it offers. It's a perfect little city car, charges 140-120KW, it's very fast and the interior is really great. But the future is where I'm really thinking all the best is. This could be the first real "tuner" EV and the FOA can release whatever they would like to. It's the only car you can buy with a cloud controlled by the owners."

"I own both 2023 Kia EV6 Wind AWD and 2023 Ocean One. I have owned Kia for over a year now (Jan 2023) and Ocean for about 3 months. Both cars have pluses and minuses but I will try to provide my honest feedback. 1) I love both cars equally. I had 2022 Mustang Mach E before EV6 and EV6 is wayyyy better than Mach E in terms of driving character and practicality. 2) EV6 steering response is much better than Ocean. Good in EV6 AWD I feel Ocean's steering is heavy and needs more pressure than EV6 2) The road grip is slightly better in EV6 (may be because it is shorter than Ocean) but I feel more comfortable pushing EV6 on and around corners than Ocean 3) Throttle (accelerator) response is better in EV6. The travel of pedal is less and its reaction is immediate. 4) The range estimates in EV6 is more accurately calculated. The range changes based on the drive modes (Eco, Normal, and Sports). It also changes when you turn on the heater. It is much closer to real world range based on my 20,000 miles in a year in EV6. 5) Apply play and Andriod auto is a plus. 6) 800v architecture means you get faster DC Charging speed (350 kw) 7) Car is freaking fast in Normal and Sports mode. I hv raced against MY Sport and won easily. Not so good in EV6 1) No sunroof (in Wind, available in GT) 2) No video streaming (so far) 3) No wireless car play support (yet) 4) No rear seat heating Good in Ocean 1) Beauty, head turner. Its not that EV6 is not attractive (received so many compliments on EV6, too), but Ocean is in a different league in terms of design and road presence. 2) Only real electric SUV in the market. The rest are jokes (including Model X and ID4). 3) Range (although real world is less when you drive in other than Earth mode and on 22" wheel with heavy foot.. 4) Very quiet ride, interior noise is next to nothing. EV6 is better than Teslas but Icean is much quieter. 5) Suspension is smooth. You won't feel any potholes, glides over smoothly. 6) Giant rotating screen for streaming videos in park 7) Giant sunroof that opens all the way 8) California mode 9) Doggie windows 10) I have not yet driven in Hyper mode, Fun mode itself is freaky fast. Not so good in Ocean 1) Software is still improving, 3 updates have been rolled out so far, have fixed most issues 2) L2 Charging is limited to 32 amps mean you get 7 kw max. 3) DC Charging upto 250 kw 4) Fisker app lacks many features, will improve over the time. 5) Brake pedal is little mushy (my personal opinion), little longer travel than EV6 6) Same about the accelerator, needs little fine tuning 7) Fisker is a startup so don't expect everything (repair, updates etc) will happen fast. Their service is improving as more cars are rolling out. For me, both vehicles are a class apart, Fun to drive and practical. Most importantly, you stand out from the crowd in either car (you know what I mean)... You can always DM if you need additional feedback/ information. I have a reservation for Ultra and if I had not"

"> Deafsoundguy said: > > I just got my update tonight. I was working in my garage and heard my car making error noises. Turned around and the lights were on, and the drivers display was going nuts. The software download looked as though it only took a few minutes to get to 99%. It hung there for a few more minutes, then the car shut off. I went back an hour later, hit the unlock button on the FOB (worked first time), then hit the brake when I got in. My installation notification was on screen. No need to reboot. Total perfect OTA update. FOB locked first try from distance. > > I won’t know until tomorrow if I see anything at all. My FOO has been working really well lately. As far as error displays, only adas or AEB errors with lane departure warnings on dark wet nights while it‘s raining. I can’t wait to see if there’s any FOB improvements, although that being said I just replaced my FOB battery today for poops and giggles and it immediately started working better. CA mode still has a perfect record of working. 😃 > > As far as release notes (besides what email said) and actual update version change onscreen, Fisker said that is going to happen later. I’ll be happy to update you with any improvements I see. Spock out. > > View attachment 5227 > > Click to expand..."

"#14· Nov 16, 2023 I'm asking a bunch of questions as I'm currently working with Fisker on potentially securing a FOO. They have them available with tow package, just waiting on finalized pricing. They will offer the same benefits as any other FOO owner. I'm just a little hesitant on pulling the trigger given the wide variety of issues and opinions. Some people have had zero problems and an awesome experience, while others seem to have had a really tough time. I would have to imagine if it's difficult to get service in California, how would they handle a problem here in Canada? I'm waiting on the what the CA$ price is going to be and then make the call. #15· Nov 16, 2023 Just reporting in after my update, It‘s been 48 hrs and zero errors as far as anything on the drivers display or the infamous WONK sound. Really nice driving all over and just smooth sailing. The real test is driving in the dark and raining (always ripe for adas or AEB warning) which I’ll get to test over the weekend. Also, maybe I’m lucky the last few days but my FOB seems like it works way better too. Most of time I can lock it from 30 to 50’ away. Unlocks way better."

"Fisker Ocean vs Kia EV6 Anybody have direct experience with both vehicles mentioned in the title, and if so, could you offer a comparison? The Ocean has more range on paper, but I've seen some dismal real-world accounts of Ocean range on this sub, and the 230 miles Car and Driver got out of the EV6 at 75mph on the highway seems pretty reasonable. So, range aside: how do these two compare in your experience? Asking for a friend. For my part: I have an Ocean Ultra reservation, and it's currently "At US Port". It was originally predicted to be "At Facility" as soon as Jan 08, 2024... but that just got revised to Jan. 14, 2024 yesterday afternoon. I've been trying for over a month to get somebody at Fisker Inc to respond to repeated inquiries about taking advantage of the promotional 1.99% interest rate (I got approval for a loan on Oct. 28, but the 45 day window for that offer has been up for a while), and after many lapsed "somebody will get back to you within 48 hours"es from Fisker New Vehicle Delivery, automated Radgiver suggestions that I contact Fisker Finance, insistence from *Fisker Finance* that it was *Fisker Inc* that needed to reset my profile so I could reapply... and that they (Fisker Finance) would "escalate" my request with Fisker Inc (3 times)... along with a couple completely unacknowledged emails to my VA... I finally got somebody from "New Vehicle Delivery" (Fisker "Sales" has not ever answered one of my calls, in spite of being on hold for over an hour on one occasion) to humor me and try to go outside their lane and help me figure this out (to their credit). They responded with an email the next day telling me my vehicle was scheduled to arrive at the vehicle processing center on Jan. 10, 2024, and that I had to wait until it was there to apply for financing (even though I had already applied once and gotten approval on Oct. 28, 2023). He offered that I could call on Jan. 9 and see if it got there early? I logged onto my Fisker account an hour later and my estimated arrival at facility was now Jan. 14. Anyway, that's all beside the point. My friend is between a Fisker Ocean and a Kia EV6, and it seems like he could even use the Wallbox charger I... I mean he... already purchased and installed.... for... reasons. He even saw a couple used EV6s with \~25,000 miles for \~$36,000 that could take the sting out of a lost $250 reservation fee, $1,000 deposit for "firm order status", and maybe-possible-backdated $7,500 Federal EV credit. Ya know, if he had paid those.... which he didn't, of course. So, again, for those of you who've had the opportunity to own, or maybe even just drive both the EV6 and Ocean; how do they compare? ​"

"I miss my Ocean. It drove great and was fairly reliable for me. I did trade it in as I knew I did not have time or confidence to do a lot of the repair work myself. I was happy when I switched out the 12v myself. I still have all weather mats and shade protectors (roof and front) that I need to sell. I also miss the FOA. They were great!"

"This back and forth stuff on quite simple stuff is to me (a seasoned industrial and automotive control/IT professional) a very clear indication that either Fisker is struggling with their tech and developement and deploy processes. Or they are operating at or past the bounds of their homologation. What Fisker is trying to achieve is very hard, so a lot of leeway should be given, but when the actuals don't match the bragging and cockiness of HF.... #26· Dec 12, 2023\\ \\ \\ (Edited) As we’ve been seeing quite a few questions regarding our OTA updates that’s currently going out to all Fisker Ocean One’s on the road, we wanted to share some further information outside of the email you’ll have already received from our side and clear up any potential confusion on your end. 1\. Invitations to schedule a day for the most recent update went out all at once in mid November. If you received your Fisker Ocean after this date, your vehicles software should already have been updated to 1.10 in the factory or at the relevant staging site."

"#6· Nov 15, 2023 #7· Nov 15, 2023 1\. If they delivered 3k cars so far, about 1/10th of them might have received some sort of OTA that may or may not have actually completed. 2.Since these are “rolling“ out in batches of 100, it may take months for the first OTA to actually get to 3k cars, longer and longer if they deliver more. Seems they sent out a batch of emails to schedule the OTA update which occurred last week, after that, there have not been anymore new emails to customers who have not received the OTA yet. 3.Anyone on FB, dorkerati, Reddit, etc who actually received the OTA and were lucky enough for it to actually work have noticed 0 changes in the actual vehicle, so no one actually knows if/what the OTA does."
