LOL I bought a cheap one but now have a cracked windscreen that I can’t replace 😅

[@shekharmoona544]

Call Safelite. 😂😂😂

[@tf5pZ9H5vcAdBp]

Call no name local companies. You'd be surprised how hurting for business some of them are. I needed a windshield for a 93 Dakota, big name quotes were insane.

[@unnamed47]

How about the shop Rich mentioned in the video?

[@lDaniOkl]

To be fair to Fisker, it's worth noting that this charging port actuator is also used in other EVs made by Jaguar/Land Rover. Since they are built at the same Magna plant, I believe some electrical parts from the I-Pace might be compatible with Fisker.

[@mactep1]

Of course Jaguar-Land Rover would be behind something like this...

[@Richie-C]

@@mactep1so true

[@jeffarto8340]

No it's not from TEMU!! was so finny, your kids are funny!!

[@RockTouching]

he's a good teacher

[@Kardall]

All the electric vehicles have so many 'smart things' in them... but if any one part fails it seems like the car gets an IQ of 10 and can't operate.

[@antoinedoinell]

you gotta be smarter than the car

[@Umski]

“I’m gonna get bullied” 😂😳😬

[@richieduck67]

"It's not from Temu" lol that cracked me up

[@phgodts]

Add another wire to reset the shit mechanism without disassemble the charging port

[@aaakkk112]

About 20 years ago my father bought a 6 months old truck (I think it was a Hilux) from the company he worked at, it had a busted oil pan after someone had hit a curb and was covered in oil so no one thought it was worth fixing it since the engine was probably totaly busted. My father got it for about $200 and he thought he'd have it as a project car or sell it for parts. It turned out everything that was wrong with the car was that the oil filter had come loose and oil had sprayed everywhere. He spent less than $50 on a new filter and oil and spent a couple of hours cleaning it 😀

[@MichaelCho69420]

Damn they went bankrupt twice

[@conchobar]

The kids reaction was the best.

[@unnamed47]

I would buy a toasted Honda Civic exclusively used to bring them to school.

[@ericaugust1501]

his kids know their dads sense of humour. and are going to inherit it :)

[@Vhicken]

bruh the whole scene with his kids at the end got me laughing out loud

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

WOW! You are a pioneer and a brave one to take on these EVs with no assist from the factory manuals. Be safe, take care, and carry on Sir!

[@nickmilhazes8611]

no he's not this is all bs

[@sensnowy]

Fisker ocean is such a beautiful car. Sad the software has issues at launch.

[@GSP-76]

They've actually addressed majority of the issues with current level updates...the problem is they have to be done in person by a technician...and there are no technicians around to do this anymore so there's a lot of people who are just left in the wind. They need to at least give people access to the updates and a way to perform them on their own.

[@sensnowy]

@@GSP-76ye. He talks about it at the end. If the current software was the launch software the company would props still be alive

[@jiminauburn5073]

@@GSP-76 I just saw some video where they were talking about the recalls, and how Fisker was going to address several via software. Must have been an old one.

[@hbharucha6612]

Saying he’s going to get bullied was a classic 😂😂😂😂

[@muhammadhamza1331]

Seeing your video notifications gives me soo much joy

[@goobfilmcast4239]

Having one of these is like owning an "antique" audio amplifier.....you use it occasionally and love love love the warmth it brings to your music...but someday in the not so distant future....you wont be able to get the tubes you need to keep it going........

[@vanvino4074]

"No it's not from Temu" 🤣 Kids are savage

[@Umski]

Why does it make UFO noises when being towed 😂😮

[@jiminauburn5073]

That was probably from the Tesla.

[@pepealexandre]

Poor John (literally).

[@Foxtrot_Foxtrot_Lima]

In 2003 I bought a 1998 chevy suburban 2500 from a Ford dealership for $400. They though it had a bad transmission, turned out the shift sensor was loose. Cost me nothing to fix it.

[@gusc6785]

Wouldn't they made more money scrapping the metal , definitely more in parting it out too. Good come up tho

[@shekharmoona544]

The Fisker logo reminds me of the Singer badge for Porsches.

[@nickkomlev687]

No, it's not from temu - Rich

[@danwimmer]

I saw a blue ocean in my neighborhood, Kitsap county, Washington State. Very strange! Did you come over here??

[@alancobbin]

Sounds like a common fault as I’ve seen a few Oceans for sale in the UK with charge ports in bits or even missing.

[@echtogammut]

What is insurance like for this car, if the window replacement is $5k? Do they just total the car out if you get a window crack?

[@richardtaylor7199]

Great job, let them walk to school soon come running for a lift.

[@McGussen]

This is exactly like being set adrift in space, finding a spaceship that hasn't been used in decades...then bringing it back to life so you can make it Kelidiapod Prime in time for the Gibernoodle Olympics. Exactly the same.

[@markbradl8651]

I feel sorry for the people that bought these at full price. I have seen some around and they are not bad looking, but what a disaster

[@allanjones8382]

I enjoy all the fake bot comments here

[@QALibrary]

woop woop Richard back back again!

[@vevenaneathna]

weird fact, if you put 120 or 240v DC into a chevy volt's j1772 port, it directly charges the battery while skipping most of the circuity. need to get a weird high voltage dc power supply, but looking at a lot of the connectors under the hood of this car, it just seems extreamly gm voltesque. idk if you want to mess with this but there are videos of it working for volt.

[@MelodyOo]

I wish EV's were treated like ICE cars.. like they are all repairable Rich is constantly proving it. I hope in future there will be some kind of a standard for EV's to design them to be repairable.. I doubt it though... Planned Absolecense is profitable.

[@M4r10h]

I think the car is really good looking, they just went overboard with the Fisker logo everywhere. But perhaps a 3Dprint and acrylic can replace them

[@loserhamilton]

always a good day when uncle rich uploads

[@common_c3nts]

Black Elon, Black Henry

[@2martg]

Poor John

[@tymanot]

Please more on Fisker. People have really lost money with these EV. Still dealers in Germany want around 30k Euro for these... Who would be these nowadays?

[@urbexphotographer]

Did we ever find out why Steve has not been around?

[@andypugh2000]

Yes he now has his own channel.

[@Eatongee]

What? No butter knives used in this repair?

[@Animalstyle69]

After seeing how much a new windshield is, I’m not sure you did get a great deal. Thing seems like cheap plastic bumper-to-bumper. And what if u get a minor accident and need a body panel

[@misterbreakit2006]

Hey Rich, any word on the Cummins Tesla? Wouldn't mind seeing Joshua on the channel again, with his razor wit and ready quips.

[@0xKruzr]

your kids have excellent comic timing, lol

[@FluffyTheGryphon]

"No, it's not from Temu." lmao

[@mainiac4pats]

22:56 favorite comment ever, “what is it from TEMU”. The children know, they are smart…👍🏾

[@dre3k78]

What is even the point of that pull chord? Some sort of anti theft system? Also LOL at the TEMU car!

[@truetech4158]

And then sold it and bought a bricked house. Be a screaming deal if you bought it AND fixed it for a $100 dollars. It's really just some metal and plastic melted into shapes that happens to be a form of transportation if it works.

[@andders2477]

In EU they have been sold down to 30 t. euro, a lot of car for the price but expensive if they brick. Recalls are easy: your just do it yourself.

[@Cloxxki]

Dad has 1.5M YT sub, those kids don't buy their own lunch, they use the trays coming from the cashier and what's already on tables as a buffet.

[@goobfilmcast4239]

This illustrates the BIGGEST problem with ANY EV...... Too Many Failure Points.

[@dre3k78]

No just poor design with this vehicle(hence the bankruptcy) . EVs have far less moving parts and fail points overall then an ICE car.

[@aussie2uGA]

Terrible design. Look how indestructible all the original Model 3's are turning out now with a gazillion miles on them. If designed right, they are simple.

[@xsleep1]

Change EV to any modern car and you are correct. Do you really think a 2024 BMW ICE car doesn't have as many or more?

[@LanceHayabusa]

lol did the former fisker techs even get to learn anything about the ocean?

[@rmp5s]

"No, it's not from timu"...🤣🤣🤣

[@JDelta87]

When the kids said it was from TEMU 💀

finnaly, affordable EVs

[@patrickguinnane]

Good stuff.. back fixing stuff😊

[@user-lx9jm1wo3h]

Damn Rich, how many kids do you have? lol

[@unnamed47]

The real question is, how many moms does his kids have??? I want a shoptour, a harem tour and more Leenda and Stevon.

[@xsleep1]

He's in competition with Elon.

[@Xinkgs]

Might as well be from TEMU with all those headaches 😂

[@Yea_I_Got_Nothing]

Your kids are sharp. They know a massive embarrassment when they see one. Its like child saftey mechanisms that either dont work at all or work too well, combned and made into a car.

[@patricklaughrey8727]

Why not just use go- jacks on the Fister??

[@truetech4158]

Wow, you woke up john and expected him to work on your car, so he doesnt have to sleep in a storage unit after you keep waking him up enough to land a mortgage on a storage unit converted into a tiny home.

[@tuomasholo]

The Fisker family financially mismanaged the company.

[@bearlin9236]

tesla dragging the fisker into the garage is the most absurd video i have seen in my youtube lifetime so far

[@loum.4377]

$10,000.00 = $80,000 of aggravation.

I'd gut it and plop a SBC 350 in it and call it a day, not an LS1, an old school 350
