Finally CEO interviews with detailed in-deep content and great questions! Great work, Bjørn!

[@Magnitio1]

He’s a good salesman, so some exaggeration is to be expected.

[@janolafonarheim2735]

Bjørn is from norway an Henrik from denmark . It may hjelp to be neighbours.

[@ChristopherDillman]

Finally a CEO from an EV brand who doesn't spew garbage in the Twittersphere. This gets my deposit.

[@maeguk1]

Björn you are an animal! Starting to be a superstar in EV industry. Congrats.

[@hankthetank185]

What a great interview Bjorn. Really nice that Henrik gave time to be interviewed too.

[@herbertsax7169]

Congratulation Björn, You are becoming highly recognized as #1 KZbinr for EVs.

[@akinoz]

Yeah

[@nakfan]

What a super interview 👍 Great work, Bjørn - and all the luck to Fisker... This is a serious EV...

[@e1huron]

Onw of the best interviews I have ever seen. Bjorn is prepared and has done his homework, Henry is patient and knowledgeable

[@NoelBarlau]

Wonderful that Mr. Fisker himself gave you a half hour of one-on-one interview. If you look at it on a cost per minute basis, that's some real money at his rate. Looking forward to having you review the Ocean when it's available. More competition in this market segment is better as far as I'm concerned.

[@tribalypredisposed]

No one will ever review the Ocean. You cannot review vaporware.

[@tribalypredisposed]

@@uderzo1984 oh gee. So after literally six years of enormous lies and deceit and even criminal activity by Fisker I am supposed to be "wise" now and believe his astonishing claims? Show me some of those supercapacitors he claimed were already in production then. Where is his graphene machine? Give me the patent numbers for the fifteen patents he claimed to have for solid state batteries, and the patents for the supercapacitors and the graphene machine he claimed to have. You have nothing, right? That is what Fisker will produce.

[@dojohansen123]

Fisker isn't doing anyone a favour here, he is doing this because he expects the resulting video to be more valuable to him than any alternative use of that time. I'm personally pretty allergic to the man; to me, he represents the worst of "style over substance", poor engineering, hype, and, a distant second to Elon Musk, personality cult.

[@dojohansen123]

@@tribalypredisposed Agree! Fisker was a talented car designer - i.e. he was good at the *looks* of a car. He's probably a savy marketer too, but that isn't really a compliment since it basically means he's good at generating false belief... although it has to be said he is only a distant second (to a certain Mr. Musk) in this respect. But I'm convinced he is utterly clueless about engineering and proved that beyond all reasonable doubt with the Karma, which to this day must stand as the pinnacle of style over substance.

[@franciscoluca]

Well done Bjorn, and the car looks like a big success in the future, I'm thinking about buy one. Best wishes to Fiskers like a brand.

[@MortenB0]

Very nice interview with a CEO that actually knows details on this awesome car. I instantly feel I want to replace my EV now even it is not more than 2 years.

[@kmwong1988]

Best interview I've seen on the Fisker. Great job!

[@jonasrosengren9093]

Cool Björn, that you managed to get an interview with Mr Fisker himself!

[@ksrithan]

Excellent interview and superb cars, hope they are popular and viable.

[@Luis-xr9ye]

Well done Bjørn. Super interesting this Fisker, I hope they can keep what they promise!

[@Apipoulai]

Fantastic questions and great interview overall. Bjørn really is THE authority on EVs!

[@Ikejiaku]

Great interview; loved the fact that Mr Fisker actually sat with you & discussed in detail. Good job & thanks.

[@Angusoksen]

I really hope Fisker will meet the promises and have success. If all specs are true and they can deliver, As a Dane I will be very proud of him and will certainly consider buying this over an Hyundai I5. I love how transparent He is about the car! 👍 But I would love to hear more about the charging speed. they claim 350kW. almost to impressive to be true!? And towing capacity. 1820kg on the ultra! wow! all specs almost to good to be true😳

[@reintrandininskia]

I read somewhere the platform they are using is capable of 250 KW DC charging. I believe what they are claiming is you can charge from a 350 KW charger like when Hyundai used to market their IONIQ 5. Beautiful and unique car, wish them success.

[@wenpluto4282]

it's just using magna parts. fisker has no ip except for their designs. if you really want to know, just go to magna and research what they currently offer.

[@tribalypredisposed]

Other reports yesterday stated 150kW. Fisker gives a lot of different numbers because he is lying as he goes here. This is a pure scam, vaporware, will never be made, the product is stock for Fisker to pump and dump.

[@Angusoksen]

@@tribalypredisposed I really hope Fisker can prove you naysayers wrong, because a lot of this preproduction prototype is looking close to ready. And remember, that he has made karma cars from his own company before and learned a lot from it!

[@Antiguan_Dart]

@@reintrandininskia Just a note any EV can charge from a 350kW charge point it’s the on-board technology which will decide how much of that the car battery can actually make use of. E-GMP platform vehicles like EV6, Ionic 5 and GV60 will be able to make use of upto 239kW however a Nissan Ayria only upto 130kW. The power curve -how long and how high the high charge rate can be sustained is key in charging efficiency.

[@dadandme]

I missed this video on your channel and I just watched it now. It is a great video full of interesting questions!

[@BehroozShariati]

I owned a Fisker Karma until very recently. It was a beautiful car, but I would be careful about accepting Henrik’s claims on faith. The Karma was a stunning car, but the numbers came up very short of what he claimed.

[@tribalypredisposed]

Yep. Fisker tells at least two, three hundred lies in this interview.

[@BehroozShariati]

@@tribalypredisposed Not really lies - at least not yet. I would consider them Aspirational Claims. We have to wait and see if they blossom into full lies.

[@tribalypredisposed]

@@BehroozShariati they have not brought a functional vehicle to a public appearance, and you think it is true they have production intent cars testing in Sweden? What they brought lacks a battery pack, a user interface, cupholders...so absolutely a lie. All those battery pack questions he said that they were not revealing the answer to...lie, they have not designed the battery pack yet so he doesn't know. They just got battery cells two months ago, no way anyone could have a battery pack design finished now. Saying that they chose their technology recently because of some genius master plan, lie, because they had eleven employees and no money up until the SPAC fraud, including one single engineer, and could not choose anything before a year ago. Claimed price, lie, the base model is supposed to be bigger with more range and more unique parts than the I-Pace made in the same factory but cost $37,000 instead of $69,900 for the I-Pace. Because a poorly financed startup run by a man famous for lying and losing money is getting way way better terms from suppliers than Jaguar gets? No, just a lie. Production in November, please, a huge lie. They don't have functioning prototypes now and it takes far longer than nine months to do the engineering validation and testing, and certification. They cannot have production intent for real testing and certification until they pay for the production machinery, stamping dies and so on, which they have not yet. Magna is not fronting them that money I assure you. Basically the entire interview is Fisker lying.

[@ROBOCLOP]

Great job Bjørn! The Ocean looks promising.

[@richardblayney5898]

Nice interview! Thanks Bjorn and Henrik.

[@jiz100]

I would be so nervous to be interviewed by Bjorn. He knows his stuff so well that he will/can call you up on poor statistics and specs. I think Fisker here had his work cut out for him, just to keep up with Bjorn.

[@ObserverDingue]

Fisker did become slightly defensive at times. I think Bjørn actually held back! "The details will be announced at delivery time in November" answered most of the basic & key questions. Hmm...

[@dr.uweschmidt6300]

There is only one Fisker and only one Björn Nyland - outstanding work!

@@patrickmurphy3308 have you researched his history? Sued by Tesla for stealing Tesla IP. He also failed to repay a loan from the US. Department of Energy. So if you are a US taxpayer, he says thanks.

@@c208captain tesla tried to sue him like many competitors do to each other. Tesla not only didn't win the lawsuit they had to give him over 1 million for false accusations. His old company went bk the government gave them 130 mill originally it was supposed to be 500 mill. They went bk and it sold in bk court for over 160 mill most creditors got paid back everything.

[@patrickmurphy3308]

So basically his battery supplier (a123) went bk and the government stopped funding them which ultimately led to its bk. They were just a little to early at that time the tech wasn't quite there.

Bjorn, some good questions, but some missed ones would have been - one pedal driving, phone mirroring, matrix headlights, level of autonomy. Maybe for the next interview or review.

[@andrelindqvist6775]

Nice work. He reminds me a bit of Christian von Koenigsegg when he speaks about his product.

[@mullen25]

beautiful car, design is taking off with the move to electric. it's crazy how cool these cars look.

[@JoywritingCars]

Lots of good questions! One thing I've noticed is how low the ceiling height of the vehicle is compared to people walking around it. Seems like it's not a very tall vehicle, despite Fisker saying he didn't want to design a fastback? I love the vehicle and plan to purchase, but I worry it's barely above average car ground clearance. The good news is easy access to a roof rack I guess! I'd also like to know if they plan to add a frunk at a later date. I think they're missing out positioning wise as an EV without one given Fisker doesn't sound like they want to make a larger vehicle. When you buy an EV these days, people expect more cargo room than a traditional vehicle.

[@nochreicher]

Hey Björn, when are you actually starting your career as a tech consultant for EV - manufacturers? Fantastic questions make up to a great interview. Thank you for your work!

[@DrinkingStar]

I am glad you asked how the cabin will be warmed for those of us who live in a colder climate? Is the infrared system the same as the FLAIR(Forward Looking Infrared) system? What level of advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) will be in these models? I wished Fisker elaborated on the Charging System and charging times that will be used. It was good that he mentioned the Bi-directional charging. There are 2 other European vehicle makers that have solar cells embedded in the roof. However, they are not built on an industrial level.

[@markgeezey1809]

Great interview Björn, really nice EV. Just one point, both the EV6 and Ioniq5 can charge another vehicle in emergencies, but only up to a max of 3kw I believe. There are videos out there showing this. Plus a number of people using the V2L in UK recently whilst having power cuts during recent storms. Great feature and great the Fisker Ocean can do this as well. Love the floating screen.👍

[@Antiguan_Dart]

add the Genesis GV60 to the list of V2L capable vehicles.

[@Montaro1983]

When will you test drive and review the Fisker Ocean? (thanks for a great channel)

[@tangerinestorm]

Reminds me of the Landrover Freelander, my first car back window would go down on that too

[@No1cemeister]

I would like to see it go in production. Before taking it really serious. Fisker has done this before. Earlier he was really negative about Tesla

Tesla hired him to design the model S and then sued him. Fisker won the case but I guess everyone is still bitter.

[@mcbullman5444]

Very cool! 🙌 I have a few questions, some might be answered already, but I'll give It a go; 1. Will it come with a trailer hitch and if so, what is the towing capacity? 2. Is the winter package optional for the base model, and if so will it include for heated steering wheel? 3. Is torque vectoring optional or standard? 4. Does it have free over the air updates and for how long? 5. Internet connectivity for media play and updates/remote diagnostics? 6. Is the radar system hardware fixed / standard for all the model variants, and if hopefully so, will the various functions be optional? ( Some safety features that comes from these AI systems are very competitive even if one should not go for the full system e.g. Autosteer or similar ) 7. Are there different types of seats? (Hopefully not making the same mistake that tesla did with the model s launch) 8. Cup holders and door bins? 9. USB w/12 volt connectivity for 2nd row passengers? ( Learning from the 2017 bmw 5 series mistake, lol) 10. If sunroof is optional, will this conflict with the possibility of a roof rack (tesla made this possible only for cars with sunroof 🤷‍♂️) 11. When thinking about quality concerns as experienced with early tesla adopters and knowing the Austria factory proves a long track record of producing high quality cars for other brands, is existing technology and safety IPs acquired from those brands to secure the right quality for vital parts I.e steering column / system, braking system etc. Or is all that designed by Fisker (It has been said that tesla partnered with Mercedes in the beginning to secure these qualities, which gave a somewhat comfort to early adopters) 12. Any chance for a HUD/ head up display? 🤓🚗 I have a strong feeling about this car and most certain will become a big hit! I'm getting one! Well done, Fisker 💪

[@tribalypredisposed]

The answer to your questions: the car is vaporware, it will never be manufactured and sold.

[@optimalev7472]

The Fisker is very impressive but it shouldn't be compared to an iX. The BMW iX is 7 inches longer than the ocean it would compare more to the Mustang Mach-E. Still very good numbers cant wait to see one in person. Amazing video nice to see the man himself giving all the info.
