Fisker Ocean vs VW ID.4: An Unexpected Competition!

[@robertfuhr1237]

Personally my choice is the Ocean. Henrik Fisker has been in the automotive engineering and design arena for many years, working for BMW and Tesla and has additionally aligned himself with CATL, a well respected Chinese battery supplier, and when your talking EV, the battery is obviously the heart and soul of the vehicle.

[@Traveling-boomer]

Sounds like the ocean wins in just about every single category I think I’ll stick with the ocean

[@chrisness]

Ocean is a lot bigger but with much less cargo space

[@patrickmurphy3308]

I saw the fisker Ocean at the LA autoshow last year and it's gorgeous with better specs. Easy decision they also just announced one if the best warranty. 👌

[@TheIraniandream]

The Ocean is one sexy EV... I guess it will be a hit when people start seeing them on the road.

[@jskayak]

I have a 2012 Chevy Volt, it has only been in the shop twice, once to get the radio replaced. post warranty. This year it went in for a software upgrade. Great car, looking for more EV mileage. I have a Fisker reserved, hopefully, they will have it figured out like the Chevy Volt.

[@memyselfundeye]

The Volt was a good looking car- albeit seriously range limited. The Bolt however is a butt ugly grocery getter that should just fade away..

[@LGuetz]

It’s just taking so long to get here! Have been EV shopping for two years now & tough to be patient.

[@darrenrichard4565]

FISKER OCEAN ALL THE WAY!!!

[@jimcantrell4328]

I am a very happy ID.4 ProS owner!

[@chrisguntner6412]

I have an ID.4 as a placesaver for the Ocean. Except for cargo space, Ocean Ultra wins

[@LarryZamba]

The Bolt has more cargo space than the ID4. My 2010 Honda Insight has more cargo space. I don’t know how the Ocean managed to lose that much cargo area.

[@TheRoddy87]

Probably due to do with the engineering of California mode while sacrificing size to keep the structure safe..

[@robertemery527]

Fisker Ocean is my choice.

[@East17A]

honestly IF I can afford any of these. Fisker is my choice the Ultra Trim is the best deal in my opinion . I don't like VW . and the cost of repair and Relibitly follow VW makes it non masses Vehicle . so Fisker is a winner assuming their numbers not that far off from reality . thank you for that awesome breakdown man .

[@arnelflandez3260]

Hello I'm planning on placing my reservation for a Fisker Ocean Ultra but I was wondering if you can do a comparison with the Nissan Ariya. I'm considering this competitive model but would love more insight on comparison testing. Thanks!

[@alan77293]

You should do a fisker ocean vs. ioniq 5

[@EyesSquared]

Thanks for this heads up! Future comparison Ocean Fisker vs Genesis GV60 please!

[@darrenrichard4565]

The genesis STARTS at 55K OCEAN STARTS at 37.5K

[@darrenrichard4565]

Also do you like FASTBACKS or hatch backs ? Not me

[@PapaHolm]

Who the fuck will choose a id4

[@KRAEMERP2010]

VWZzzzz Fisker Ocean😍

[@user-sk3qj3zj6g]

Fisker is much more beautiful. Design is technology.

[@sailingandsomejokes]

Ocean

[@Btu555]

Can you compare fisker ocean vs toyota bz4x?

[@dy-no-mitedragon7759]

Fisker Ocean

[@MimMusMet]

Fısker Ocean, if they provide base level price same till 2023 November and able to sell in Turkey.

[@memyselfundeye]

Until VW releases a dual motor/AWD that is capable of over 300 miles, there is no comparison. Fisker by a landslide. Full disclosure: i have owned 6 vw’s and currently own a 2016 CC RLine and a 2018 Beetle. I have a deposit for an Ocean.

[@PapaHolm]

Support DANISH engineering and Design 🇩🇰💪

[@George_Paul]

What do you want to show here? Fisker is by far better, faster, bigger and cheaper. ID4 is outdated already...

[@chinadollfmd]

I understand Fisker is using Magna in Canada to build this car. Magna has experience with making parts for many major car companies so I am curious how this car will be. Has Fisker solved the issue of servicing that Tesla is failing at? This is where VW has the upper hand with a network of dealers.

[@robertemery527]

Not Canada but Magna Steyr in Austria.

[@memyselfundeye]

Yeah VW solved it alright. $135/hour and a CEL warning for just about everything.

[@LarryZamba]

Fisker really upped their game since it’s first release, including the charging speed. I had considered the ID4 but it’s now it’s slipped to the number 3 position, so h Fisker going to #2

[@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD]

What’s #1 for you? 😀

[@LarryZamba]

@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD The ioniq 5, not only for superior specs but because they have a repair-dealership network throughout the USA

[@SebastianFleischhacker]

Both use the same MEB skateboard

[@onathanj]

Why compare two different cars? The Id4 is much smaller and ancient technology compared to the Ocean.

[@saedalbittar1841]

Fisker is better in every aspect

[@NaProbablyNot]

Fisker hands down

[@unclecryto2057]

id4 is no match

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Tesla model Y remains the best value in this market segment and that's what I plan to buy this summer in USA. _( charging network + service + efficiency + range + AP + FSD +, +, +, +.......)_

[@raymondwong2521]

Tesla service sucks. That was the reason I sold my Model 3 Performance in January this year. Range for Tesla EVs are known to be over-stated by Tesla. Look at how South Korean Government is penalizing Tesla for misleading South Korean Tesla buyers with inflated mileage per charge. Charging network? look around to see more and more Tesla owners are charging their Teslas in other charging networks such as ChargePoint and BlingCharging. Why? Too many Tesla are competing for limited chargers at their Supercharging stations already, more and more Tesla owners are forced to charge at other charging networks. FSD? Tesla bills and charges you full price, but has yet to release all the features that the company has promised to give its Tesla EV owners. Then, why let the company charge the full price now for just less than half of the features and safety monitoring system? What if the so-called FSD won't be released until 10 years later? Also, why is it the Model Y has the "best value" when you can't even have tax credits by Federal Government and tax rebates by your State government? (counter points +, +, +, + .......)

[@Light23K]

I would get a fisker but it’s so damn slow. My model 3 long range does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds with the speed boost.

[@raymondwong2521]

The Fisker can go from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds also, just not the base model. Also Tesla EVs are known for over-exaggerated acceleration time and mileage per full charges. As such, South Korean government is giving Tesla penalty for misleading South Korean buyers of Tesla EVs.

[@raymondwong2521]

Also, your model 3 long range does 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, not 3.6 seconds. My Performance Model 3 last year before I sold it did 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds, not the claimed 3.2 seconds.

[@raymondwong2521]

You can talk speed boost, but the same can also be true for future Fisker EVs with their own speed boost. Tesla EVs did not have any speed boost for their first year of production either.

[@Light23K]

@@raymondwong2521 that’s weird because I bought a speed boost and 0-60 varies but I’m sure I hit it in 3.6 seconds a few time.

[@USGrant21st]

I wouldn't buy a car from any newcomer, whether it Fisker, or Lucid, or Rivian. They all have unknown quality and reliability, nor any dealerships or service centers. Even Tesla still can't manufacture good quality reliable cars after doing it for a decade. Taking into account how much can go wrong with a new car design from an inexperienced company, you are asking for trouble purchasing any of those cars. Not even mentioning that those companies have a high probability going out of business.

[@robertemery527]

Yes, Tesla has had growing pains being new to the many facets of manufacturing. Fisker will be avoiding this by using one of the world's high end builders, Magna Steyr of Austria.

[@lvthud]

@@robertemery527 I agree with what you say, however, all cars break, it's the nature of mechanical things, sure EV's break less due to less parts, but it's going to happen. I would love to order a Fisker, but, nobody (including Fisker) can say how they will fix anything major. Sure they will have mobile tech that can sort out the small stuff in your driveway, but not something like a motor change which can and will happen to someone.

[@MTNRanger]

@@robertemery527 Magna Steyr also manufacturers the Jaguar I-pace which has pretty good build quality. Fisker's 6 year 60k mile warranty is pretty impressive.

[@patrickmurphy3308]

Fisker has magna manufacturing it. Magna has built vehicles for BMW,TOYOTA,MERCEDES and more. So I believe the quality will be very good 👍

[@coolpix222]

For the reasons that you stated, I'm going to lease for $379 per month including maintenance. With 30,000 miles allowance per year, I won't be the one taking the depreciating hit. The best part is you can walk away from the lease at anytime! Basically, little to no risk. Actually, this car is going to save me a ton of money!
