Fisker Ocean pre-prototype interior review

[@dayhillbilly]

I'm not a fan of rotating screens and other gimmicks, but that soft, matt interior looked nice. Manufacturers take notice: Chrome and shiny plastics are the last thing you should put inside a car!

[@rod2625]

TheSport and Ultra models no rotating screen.

[@finch4336]

I wonder how a rotating/swivel screen does over road imperfections. Tolerances at the swivel would have to be super tight, otherwise it may feel flimsy. Not everyone drives on pristine CA roads.

[@nathanwolf5547]

Everyone felt they’d never get this far. I want more companies to succeed. It’s time for the old guard to get scared of the new.

[@MarcoNierop]

Well, for good reason, Henrik Fisker has done some dodgy things in the past, lets hope this is getting a reality, we need more competition and more EV's on the road ASAP.

[@jasonblair4057]

Finally get to see some progress and looking good. More competition is always a good thing. The swivel screen is a nice touch.

[@theredmonkey]

I am excited for this vehicle and really hope its successful. Their production prototypes just rolled of the assembly line.

[@nakfan]

It is a beautiful car (for an SUV) and it has an air of class... Kind if like a Bang & Olufsen product on wheels 😊 Yes I am Danish like Henrik Fisker 😀

[@Markle2k]

@@geraldh.8047 The Karma wasn't a scam, but it was a bit late to market for a boutique hybrid and more flash than practical. The loss of their battery supplier and Hurricane Sandy really screwed them over.

[@Slayer-xi7pu]

@@geraldh.8047 I mean they bought the batteries for 50,000 cars already and also magna is building them so I guess you will start to take them seriously very soon.

[@fabriziom]

If this thing really comes out at the price that was announced I will very much consider it!

[@fabriziom]

It looks like price for entry model in Spain will be 41'900€! With 440km wltp range.

[@lethuliv5500]

I have a feeling it will be much more expensive once it is released (at least in Sweden as usual)

[@Alex_G_M]

@@lethuliv5500 Looks like the Norwegian prices are starting at NOK 372.000,-, I can’t imagine them being *that* much more expensive in Sweden. That said, fossile fuel cars were typically ~15% *cheaper* in Sweden before, but that is sort of besides the point here. Are electric cars exempt from VAT in Sweden? Because they still are in Norway.

[@NoelBarlau]

When the main screen is in landscape mode, the bezel matches perfectly with the trim strip behind it. This must have been intentional, and if so, it's pretty impressive attention to detail.

[@Markle2k]

Design is what Henrik Fisker does.

[@minicirco]

The sunroof is huuuge! No frunk, but californian style back window, no problem! Nice style overall, also the materials: kudos! Like it!

[@nathanwolf5547]

It’s seems are really good size with thoughtful touches all over. I just hope the price is really affordable. We need more MG, less Audi. We need more manufacturers thinking about wheelchair space too. The MG ZS EV was the only car that would take my large chair.

[@harold1901]

Price on the Ocean Sport is $37,499 other is $49,999 last two is $68,999 i believe. Not bad price.

[@temper44]

MG makes good cars, but I'm a bit concerned they are trying to go into luxury cars with their coming models. They should stick with cheap and well built sedans imo.

[@iowa_don]

Their web page says "revolutionary full-length SolarSky roof". Up to 1,500 miles per YEAR. Under ideal conditions may increase beyond 2,000 miles per YEAR. So between 12.5% and 16.7% of a 12,000 mile per year usage.

[@glenf4115]

Sounds something like a "challenge"... on a sunny day... in Norway. :)

[@ItsKimJava]

Stoked about this car!

[@bjornnyland]

Yo, what's up? I didn't know you watched this channel.

[@Dawheel90]

Really love this car, but I'd prefer the central screen to stay fixed in landscape position. The opening rear quarter glasses are for the dogs/pets in the back, so they can have some fresh air from time to time. Fantastic job Bjorn, can't wait for you testing this one.

[@djwarren5081]

Love it. Thanks for posting Bjorn.

[@frans1522]

A panoramic roof with solar cells that can open! Have not seen that combination so far. I like it!

[@PaperCoffeeTable]

Looks like the designer took the Land Rover Range Rover Velar and tweaked it to make it look more futuristic. Both look great though.

[@willluma9170]

Great, just when I’m set on getting a Ioniq 5. This looks sick!

[@sylvainjamais904]

Nice... When I saw the rear climate controls on the armrest, I thought, how do you do it with 3 in the back?

[@slava_trushkin]

Windows are so tiny. Front is unnecessary long for EV. For me one of the main bonuses of buying a tall car (SUV, minivan) is to have excellent view all around. What's with trend of making windows smaller and smaller and in SUVs?

[@Zedus-rl9hp]

Yes, that's annoying, also for other road users who can no longer see through the vehicle because of the high window line.

[@lethuliv5500]

Yeah, I test drove the EV6 and was suprised at how bad the visibility was. The dead spot windows was not even visible from the front. I guess all the high tech warning should replace it, but its still nice to be able to manually check things.

[@bcwestcoast]

Thanks again Bjorn!

[@clasqm]

Cool name. The video slogan writes itself: "How many banana boxes fit in the Ocean?" There could be a European model called the Atlantic Ocean, a Chinese model called the Pacific Ocean, and a special, exclusive edition for Norway: the Arctic Ocean!

[@dcbel]

Having over 500 miles of EPA range on a single charge is amazing! Cannot wait for the Fisker Ocean to come out. 🚗 ⚡️

[@MarcoNierop]

Nice car!.. The invisible air vents and big center mounted tablet gives it a Tesla vibe I must say, But exterior I am not a fan, too boxy for my taste, and the boxyness will have its toll on efficiency. But lets hope they can make tons of these cars in Austria! Sure they will sell as cupcakes.

[@linara9190]

wish Tesla would implement a rotating screen and a simple dash screen like this!

[@memyselfundeye]

Patiently waiting for the completion of homologation in the US so i can take delivery of my ONE. Communication the past month or so has been a bit on the slow side. Still stoked, but would love some more official updates regarding final range figures, cargo capacity and when it will be delivered rather than just “late Q2/Q3”..

[@opa-dick]

Nice car butvthe charge port is on the wrong place for the Netherlands. I see other cars parked and the cabel is on the road side where bikes drive by. They bump on this or kick it

From the guy that have promised EV since 2010… pre production in 2022

[@nakfan]

His first car was a beautiful sports sedan - a serial hybrid with a small gasoline engine giving charge to the battery. The company folded unfortunately. This is a new project from jis own company.

[@danubiosalas4231]

@@nakfan I know, I had high hopes for the original Karma, seemed a good step at the moment. But this “Ocean” seems too little, too late. Just like Faraday Future option. Now Porsche, Mercedes are bringing “old luxury”, and Lucid is betting for “new luxury”. I don’t see a market for an Ocean or a FF in two years.

[@rod2625]

Production on schedule for Nov this year. Magna will rollout 50,000 next year. The base, Sport at $37,500, 250 estimated miles with CATL LFP batteries (same as in Tesla M3 standard range) is a real bargain!

[@danubiosalas4231]

@@rod2625 I hope they do well. I an all for EV variety and market saturation. We need luxury, economy, practicality, performance. I can’t wait to get rid of oil changes and transmission services.

[@tribalypredisposed]

@@rod2625 they are showing concept cars without battery packs or working UI and lots of things just not there, like cupholders, and you think they can start production in nine months? You must have no idea what kind of testing and validation and certification is required to start production of a new car. Realistically, they are three years from being able to start production and far less than that from the day that Fisker cashes in his stock and leaves the company to go bankrupt, like he did with his last car company.

[@evilkoala81]

Was the measurements, of the cargo space, on the 182" prototype or the 188" production specs?

[@dakotabcn]

Bjorn!! You are in Barcelona??? PLEASE ! We want a meeting with you to meet you, many EV users are thanks to you :)

[@KineticEV]

I love the shape of the vehicle and the size of the screen. They indicated they would have some decent payment options that would include insurance but I'm not sure where they are on that now. I really wish it was in production now. Unfortunately I believe that when or if it does go into production that about time it goes on sale it's going to be super expensive.

[@PG-gs5vb]

Maybe I missed it but I did not see any view from the rear with rear door closed. Also, is there a rear window wiper?

In the trim level offered in denmark you don't get adaptive cruise control except in the top trim 😕

[@bilgyno1]

Normally 'pre production' is the almost final iteration before production starts. It should be functional, such as the pre production ID.Buzz is now in pre production. Prototype is much earlier in the process, and it's what this looks like if it's not yet functional.

[@torrex3432]

It is functional. This is pre production.

[@tribalypredisposed]

A prototype should have the battery pack and motors and so on, it should be functional and can be used for testing and so on. This is not even a prototype, it is a model or "concept car." The Sony EV they showed a few years ago while claiming they were not going to make cars was far more functional and closer to production.

[@tipoomaster]

Those seats look interesting. How were they?

[@rubenbraekman4515]

[@tribalypredisposed]

The Fisker Karma was made by Fisker Automotive, which went bankrupt and was purchased by a Chinese parts supplier who have fixed the fixable big problems it had and are making it today. This is a new company Fisker is pretending will make cars.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

It's OK. I don't know. It needs bigger glass and it seems to follow the EV design look inside. I do welcome it and I know it has to be yet another crossover because it is a hot segment. But I want something truly distinctive now and I'm not seeing that here.

[@maeguk1]

I am not sure about the 2nd and 3rd row windows... looking really weird. Do we know the towing capability? But all in all, if this really gets to production in this form, with these materials already in the lowest trim, and at the same time will have decent charging curve and consumption, then it will be a great contender on the market.

[@Slayer-xi7pu]

They said that the towing capability is 4000 pounds. It will have an exceptional charging curve with 250kw of power. It is efficient due to its catl batteries and the windows are like that so that they can have enough space for the roll down mechanisms for the California mode.
