Fisker Ocean. My thoughts after One Years and 20k Miles

[@morrispriddy]

I bought a used Ocean One with 400 miles on it. I agree - it is a great vehicle (after having it for 2.5 months). I am in Texas and I feel confident in ownership now with the FOA - and some regional service centers. I took a cross country trip in the Ocean the month I got it -it was a learning curve with it being my first EV. But it performed great and the travel cost was so much less (stayed at hotels with free overnight charging and even when paying it was cheaper). I intend to keep it and drive it until it gives out. I very much enjoy my Ocean.

[@rx8uss]

What price can we expect to pay for a similar used one?

[@Tacocat123]

Henrik is a bum. He should be ashamed of himself and his own legacy. If he had any type of conscience he would have donated $1M of his own money to FOA but hes a terrible guy.

[@Henchman1977]

It's too bad, the Ocean was easily the best looking of the small crossover EVs.

[@rcguygarage]

I hate the fact that the company went under cuz this was to be my first EV but I guess them going under slapped me back to reality. But this is the only designed EV that I liked. And no it ain't perfect but still styling and looks was nailed

Thank's for beeing there, we'll get through this too even if it's costy 😱. Maybe Santa gives us an amazing gift...? 🎁 I'll better be really nice in december 😂

Thanks for this. I'm on the same boat at just under 12k miles. I'm buying 2 tires at a time versus rotating and buying 4 later. Reason being the front ones are going out way faster anyway. I see little points of putting the low threads to the rear.

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@@K9Trixx exactly my thoughts as well

[@joseph-c7q2j]

good video, my delivery was oct. 29 @11PM in 2023...so we are both in the same boat, i always check the app, which died some time ago this morning it's working! had to change my password, but it let me in and i was able to unlock and lock the car! is Fisker making a comeback, i mean someone had to turn that server app back on...they mystery continues

[@DaveDarin]

Tire wear. I own an Ocean, many less miles than yours at 2,600 miles, a recent purchase. It could be due to weight distribution. My other car is a 2020 BMW i3s REX. The REX is a range extender scooter motor that runs a generator to maintain the high voltage battery state of charge. It's located in the back passenger sided. As a result, the back passenger side tire wears faster. However, it does wear evenly. So that does not account for the edge wear on your tire. Anyway I like the continentals and I'll be looking for tires, eventually, of course not needed yet or anytime soon. Cheers.

I'm going to have to get me one of those phone holders.

[@SoFlo_FOE]

Yes I agree. What kind of phone holder is this?

[@mikhailaminov4557]

Thank you very much for the video. I love my car too, but it’s only has a 7000 miles and I start getting issues with the 12 V battery for some reason the lights in the cabin stay on I think that drained the battery I don’t know. should I change the battery or just keep charging

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@@mikhailaminov4557 Hard to say for sure. I would test it with a multi meter. If you find it's low, you could either replace or put a battery tender on it.

[@mikhailaminov4557]

@ thanks for responding. I think I find the issue I have I noticed when I try to do the deep sleeping reset for some reason the blue wire on the charger stays on doesn’t matter what I do so it means the car doesn’t go to sleep. that’s why it’s draining the batteryI think.

[@mikhailaminov4557]

Blue light

[@K9Trixx]

By the way...the driver alert system you pointed to DOES work... Just not in all cars. It only works in one of my FOOs and the other it does nothing.

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@K9Trixx I have a ONE. It has never done a thing. It was supposed to be a driver drowsiness feature awareness

[@FriedChairs]

For a vehicle of its size it doesn’t seem to have a lot of cargo area. Also, I wonder how accurate that range estimate is. It’s a vehicle with incomplete software and a LOT of work goes into range estimation adjusting for elevation changes, use of A/C, etc. and the impact on range.

[@FriedChairs]

After watching more, the space in the back looks pretty good. I guess just no frunk.

[@monsterpatbro1041]

You can manually adjust the vent with a chop stick or something and then it may stop doing that.

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@@monsterpatbro1041 yes, you can manually adjust them but you can't prevent the clicking without replacing the part

Heights would need to find an OEM to buy their rights; What's interesting is that Scout Motors' (VW products) new plant in South Carolina is intended for contract manufacturing...wink wink.

Under the circumstances I believe you can take a tax loss based on investment fraud. Check with accountant .

You mean you didn't want the 2-hour and something minute video that you originally posted?🤣😂🤣😂 I was watching it and then bamo it was gone. As a matter of fact, I was in the middle of typing the comment saying good to see you're back 🤣😂🤣😂

This car is a 70k piece of ishh. I feel sorry for anyone that has ever came in contact. Rather have a Honda and spend the rest of the 50k on a vacation to Japan.

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@@jewreal Most owners feel the same way I do.

[@louisusa777]

Do you drive in Earth mode? If yes the brake regen only uses the right front wheel. In FUN mode all four wheels are active and you don’t get the extra wear on the right front!

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@@louisusa777 yes, I almost exclusively drive in Earth Mode but I don't have 2.2 yet so I don't have Regen on both front and rear

[@K9Trixx]

Not really. I drive ONLY in Fun mode...never used earth mode because of the dangerous lags... And I still got the right front wear. Software 2.1 and 2.2 is supposed to balance out the front and rear motor engagement. So maybe that also helps with evening out tire wear from here on out.

[@Ocean1_FSR]

@K9Trixx 2.2 provides Regen on both axles

[@rmorales1029]

@@K9Trixxwhat dangerous lags? Earth mode operates like an ICE vehicle when pulling out under normal driving behaviors and then it moves out really quick if you pass down harder on the electron pedal. Not sure what you are talking about.
