Has Fisker Demand Increased? Q & A with Fisker Owners Association COO

[@himster22]

I’m so glad I cancelled my order when I did.

[@Aslash304]

As a new owner of an Ocean One, which I pick up next week or the week after, I will ABSOLUTELY join the FOA. Even without knowing the exact benefits the benefit of the unity of the other owners is, in itself, important enough to join.

[@Aslash304]

That’s a great attitude, and exactly what an owner should do.

very good video again,thanx adam and christian .....that sounds not to bad at all.if we would have to pay monthly 50 euro/month and get for example,android auto,mp3 player and other apps,acc,phone as key,pre-heating option,not just earth,fun and hyper also winter(frost or slippy)mode,....and a bit peace of mind then i would love to pay for it.........thanx.....

[@cristianfleming8313]

Some of this we’ll need to develop (aa/cp), some of this we’ll need to figure out how to develop/if we can (stuff like preconditioning), some of it is more complicated (anything relating to drive-related functions) because it gets into homologation. We want to look into the feasibility of everything, but also make sure we’re being realistic about what’s involved.

[@Aslash304]

Lots of work to get many of those things.

I paid almost $1200 for the FOB and programming from Karma Indy, not to mention that I had to spend a full day driving there and back. The programming took about 15 minutes. At the time it was basically an insurance policy. I would be curious to know if they are going to be part of the FOA's service network as it's the closest facility to Nashville.

[@Aslash304]

I’m pretty sure the network is listed on the FOA website.

[@KeithScotland-hi1np]

Thank you guys for all of the time you have put into this project and for keeping us informed. It's great to finally see some light at the end of the tunnel.

[@Aslash304]

It is good to finally have some potential solutions.

[@NCFinanceGuy]

Thx Adam for giving the FOA some love......they've earned it. Having an Ocean is like owning a stock that is below your cost basis. Either you sell and lock in that loss, or you hold and see if things get better. Things are definitely getting better.....

I am hopeful for owners. Definitely best of luck

If the FOA eventually moves into development of the next operating system, as a retired Project Manager, but only 1 year retired so my skills are not antique, I will volunteer to be a Project Manager to track progress, track the very important QA testing, and report on progress. The typical Project Management stuff. Very hopeful here. Hopeful enough to have finally bought an Ocean and soon a member of the FOA once I pick up my Ocean in a week.

I did a quick search. Many for sale in Canada for under $40,000. So that is like $28,500us. Considering they are years old now I'd say demand is extremely low. At least here anyway.

[@Aslash304]

I appreciate this. I think those prices are way too high, as well

[@barbarabixler177]

Tom Tom was awful. Did Fisker shop at Big Lots for that one!! No offense to Big Lots, just a feeling that they bought a system that was a close out/bargain item! Don’t even know if it still works in my car - I never use it. It gave me a half mile warning to an exit on the freeway! Worst ever, and no way to adjust settings. I just use my iPhone for gps directions.

Do people want to be scammed more? Has demand to be defrauded seen an increase? Better question why isn’t Fisker in Jail?

[@typxxilps]

but europe is full of those and I bet in the USA are even more on sale. Might become less sooner or later and the more stable the FOA will become the more the prices will rise again cause at the end it becomes more and more an alternative month by month where more and more issues have been touched and started to fix or even are already fixed. Had been far worse in summer. .

[@rmorales1029]

I know there are slot of updates that can be happening to our vehicles, 2.2 and future software updates as an example. I am hoping the FOA and maybe American Leasing will look into getting access to Tesla Superchargers in the future. There are also “charging deserts” in many places that having access to Superchargers will begin to address.

[@Aslash304]

Well put. I live in one myself. One of the major reasons I sold without hesitation. No company, no supercharger access.

Hi, i'm wondering why there is no further information about the recall fulfillment for Germany? is there anything going on or are the German Fisker Owners no more important?

[@Aslash304]

I have to apologize in advance. I don’t know how to access German recalls. If you know how to look up German recalls data, I’d be more than happy to see what it says, and provide additional answers

[@gameplay_unknown8658]

Im more interested in on the FOA is later down the road they have designed updated software and you decide you no longer want to pay the subscription after you get the update is it like a HOA that once you join you cant leave?

[@Aslash304]

There’s no way they could force anyone to join, or stop them from leaving. But this is a great point.

[@Angelboy99]

I never liked Henrik Fisker. He seemed so untrustworthy + subcontracting MFG and Assembly was a red flag for me. There were too many gadgets to be true and be profitable. Good luck to all Fisker owners and congrats for a great proactive consumer involvement. Who knows, maybe you will revitalize the brand and get Magna building them once again. What is Frank Stronachs position on all this? I guess Chinese after market parts will start popping up! 😊

[@Aslash304]

Great feedback! Thanks for watching

[@RAHellemans]

What is the commonality in software (and more??) between the Jaguar Ipace and Fisker? Both designed, engineered and produced by Magna in Austria and soon to be followed by a Grenadier if press reporting is right.

[@Aslash304]

Great question: The software system is unique to Fisker in many ways, including the UI. This is a very complex multi-layered question that would require weeks of work and insights from many engineers. It’s also proprietary, so those answers aren’t likely going to just present themselves.

[@cristianfleming8313]

@@Aslash304 that’s the truth.

[@saedalbittar1841]

Are we still taking about Fisker?! What we should talk about is whether Henry is at jail or not. He scammed shareholders and i am one of them and I lost 25,000 dollars. He can’t be allowed to disappear and come back and start a new company again within few years.

[@Aslash304]

Did you opt out of the plan? At this point, because the bankruptcy plan was accepted, those that opted out would need to pursue action independently.

I wonder if the FOA have a KZbin channel in the near future?

[@evand4773]

The FOA is brilliant! Promise to pay $2.5M from an organization that has no money. I know the plan is pass the cost on to Fisker owners, but what would happen if no one go onboard? Would the COO pay out of his pocket? Or is the $2.5M going to be offset from the profits of Tsunami.. since it is owned and operated by the FOA organizers?

[@Aslash304]

From what I know, the Tsunami proceeds will fund future projects and work to keep up liquidity. The owners that sign up would be responsible for the $2.5MM.

[@cristianfleming8313]

Tsunami’s business is parts supply chain. Any money made from that would go back into ensuring that supply chain is functioning properly.

@@cristianfleming8313 Fair enough. However, since the FOA’s financial records are somewhat vague, how can FOA members be assured their donated funds haven’t been used to start your supply chain business?

How can I get 2.2? It was never pushed to me. I am still on 2.0. Thanks.

[@Aslash304]

75% of Oceans don’t have 2.2. If your vehicle is having issues, I would definitely try to get it to a service location, otherwise, it’s best to use the version you currently have until the FOA is a able to control the updates themselves. There won’t be any real pushes of new updates until sometime around the end of the calendar year.

[@typxxilps]

be patient to save nerves and money. If you rush and end in an issue you will be screwed an complain. If there is a 2.2 and a working procedure back again guess what ? They would love to install and sell the service to you and therefore will get in touch with you. For sure you will not be forgotten. They rely on you and your support. Keep an eye on the key fob topic cause that can become far more important cause 1 is nothing.

Hold tight. We’re getting close to a resolution on this.
