Fisker Ocean One Test Drive in Rotterdam!

[@Afuche]

I love my Ocean One. I have had the car for 3-months now and it gets better and better. Thanks for the review.

Love hearing that Afuche! Cannot wait to see Fisker turn the naysayers their way in 2024.

You loved it !!!as soon as you said you want to spend more time driving, that’s it!!

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

Thanks AI! I really did enjoy it. I think Fisker will have a decent spring and a good summer in terms of sales, as well as a vast improvement in customer satisfaction. People need to drive it. It’s great to look at, even better to drive. They just need to get more consistent with software updates so they’re all getting updated around the same time instead of this game of Pokémon software updates of one at a time.

@@EclecticElectric.bsky.social rate cuts are right around the corner. Many people don’t even realize how much better of an environment that will be for sales.

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

@@studowdeezy you make a great point. Interest rates have nowhere to go other than down when the economy is doing this well. The numbers don’t lie. Fisker is already offering super low rates. Other banks doing the same eventually will give more options and more buying power, which means possibly better sales and of higher trims which equals higher profits.

My first week with my Ocean One and I love it!! I also thought it was going to be small. Once I saw it in person I was sold. Its actually very spacious.

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

That’s awesome news! It is deceivingly large with spaciousness definitely designed around its passengers. Great driver’s car for folks who want an EV with a soul. Keep spreading the word and enjoy the ride!

[@studowdeezy]

Thanks for the great video man. I’m very excited to watch sales take off. I think there’s some very deep value here to capture. Question: are they putting different batteries in the euro oceans? Seems you’re showing ~400+ miles and the ones in the US are showing 360.

[@genelin888]

Kilometers?

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

Thanks so much deezy! More to come. Feel free to Like and Subscribe. Really appreciate the feedback! Regarding your question, the batteries are the same regardless of market as all vehicles are currently manufactured in Austria at the Magna factory which is why the fit and finish of this vehicle is so good. The range is better because the test drive vehicles were charged to 100%. Magna is the same company that builds the G Wagon for Mercedes among other models for car companies. Leaves more room for markup (G Wagon) when you don’t have to pay employees to build it for you.

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

Sorry I missed this! Kilometers were well over 600 as I recall at close to 100% charge. Thanks for asking!

The Fisker Ocean is a great car despite what iPhone reviewers say.

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

Agreed! Thanks for commenting Martin. People need to test drive it and then they’ll get why it’s a very compelling choice. I’d even go so far as to call it a disruptor in the marketplace.

Despite someone who pointed objectively absurd issues for a production model vehicle? Just because you like and may be biased towards the car doesn't mean someone else is wrong for pointing out the full breadth of it's problems. The fact that Fisker didn't want it reviewed until they did a software update is telling enough.

[@martinmcnulty8155]

​​​​@@sly9263 He was reviewing a software version that no customer has anymore. According to Fiskerati Fisker offered a technician to update to 1.11 (current version) but he refused. Then he didn't know that there were gloveboxes under the seat. Then he didn't know how to rotate the screen. Then he didn't know that Fisker had signed up to use NACS. Then he didn't know that he could do a soft reset to correct the Bluetooth problem. A lot of stuff he didn't know. Exactly what you would expect from an iPhone reviewer who is out of his depth with cars.

[@sly9263]

@@martinmcnulty8155 "He was reviewing a software version that no customer has anymore" obviously that's not the case?

[@sly9263]

​@@martinmcnulty8155 your response is effectively confirming bias- overlooking all of those issues with a software version that is/was live in sold vehicles, then acting like he should have known better to do a "soft reset" to get around the bluetooth not working correctly, then going full blown ad hominem to deflect even further- grow up, you shouldn't be that emotionally fragile over an objective car review.

You might like the car but I wouldn’t go overboard & buy shares of stock. The solar roof blocks out most of the sunlight. Hope Fisher survives.

[@EclecticElectric.bsky.social]

You’re not wrong. The stock is a dice roll right now. While I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy a lot of it, I do think it’s lower risk after the reverse stock split goes through in March. The short interest in Fisker has moved from about 60% to 40% recently. While it’s still very high, this is indicative of short sellers leaving the stock. There’s no such thing as bad publicity and that’s likely impacting the lessening of the short position. By end of March most of the immediate need updates will have rolled out. By mid-summer, all available software from assisted driving features to solar charging will be in full swing. This vehicle still has a story to tell.
