2024 Fisker Ocean Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Overpromised and Underdelivered
I actually love the car, the design and looks, how it drives and feels on the road. I prefer driving it over my '23 Tesla Y. However I rate it low because many of the features you paid for are promised in the "next upgrade", which will never happen. The business model of Henrik Fisker is flawed and the cause of the company's failure. You'll never have proper support for the car, the software will never be upgraded to the car you thought you were buying, so you're out of luck and stuck with a dead car if anything goes wrong. It's a handsome car. Too bad H. Fisker and his family bungled the business so badly and has left 7K+ owners just hanging.

Pay strict attention
This is a awsome vehicle, and a bit of a turd as well. Keep in mind that you are looking at buying a $60K to $70K originally priced vehicle for under $25k. Where can you get a 564HP 4wd for $25k or less. Where can you get 22" wheels and a sweet looking ride for less than $25k. leather seats and a Pano operable window for $25k. how about a 17" display, and a 6foot bed with the seats down. a full electric 350 mile range for $25k. look at what else is on the market for 25K. Nothing compairs. here is what doesn't work: Apple Carplay - Do other $25 k cars have that on their 17" screens? Adaptive Cruse control - Is there any other $25k car with that? Warranty - yep... you are SOL. but the car is way less than half price. Worth it? Parts and service - an organization called FOA that you can join for part discounts, forums, on everything fisker, and possibly some of the lacking updates for the $70k originally priced car. So take your pros and cons, and think it over. I did. The 106 usable KW battery can be modified (Yes at a cost) as as a huge home solar battery that is 10x the capasity of the Tesla wall units . I have (2) Tesla batteries at my house and they cost me more than this entire car. The parts on this car are worth way more than the entire car. There are lots of ways to look at it. So, someone crying today about a $25k EV that doesn't have all the tech goodies of a $70k EV is just sad.

Ocean review
Car is great to drive! Very peppy as long as you know how to operate it. Reading the owners manual is a must as this is a very complicated car, but once you learn its ins and outs it is a great car! The ability to convert the car from front wheel drive to four wheel drive with the touch of a steering wheel button is amazing. No other car allows the driver to do this! 350 miles of range is amazing too.

Abandon All Hope
EV companies rely on "hope". Hope that even if a vehicle is released with buggy software/hardware it can be updated to fix those things down the road. The Fisker Ocean was clearly released with the mindset of just get it out and we can make it better later. I am not surprised to read multiple dealers abandoned these cars on the side of the road when the company announced bankruptcy because this is the second time Fisker has done this and those vehicles are all left with issues that won't be fixed. So if you want to drive a limited addition POS and don't mind having to tow your car to one of the few places that might be able to fix your car (assuming it is one of the handful of errors that doesn't require new parts) then by all means buy this experimental at best vehicle. Currently at a third the MSRP and still too expensive. I warn you that there is basically ZERO resell value on this one.
