Fisker is back in business, and its first model is an all-electric SUV called the Ocean — and we just spent nearly $70,000 of our own money to add one to our long-term test fleet. Over the next year, we’ll be putting our Ocean to the test, learning what it’s like to live with on a daily basis. In this video, Edmunds’ Brian Wong gives you an overview of the Fisker Ocean we bought, our initial impressions, and more.

We're excited to add the Fisker Ocean to our long-term fleet and chart its growth over the next year and 20,000 miles. Is there anything you'd like to see us do with this new electric SUV? An ocean-to-ocean road trip perhaps? Let us know in the comments below!
I remember seeing a Karma back in 2015
this SUV looks luxurious
500 boost for the life of the vehicle…. Man BYE, GTFOOH✌🏾
imagine buying a car from a company months from going out of business
I had the opportunity to test drive the Fisker yesterday. I was surprised to see Fisker at a meetup at the Smithfield outlet mall in NC. The model I drove had a sticker price of about 73K. I really enjoyed the car although I wasn't blown away. I don't think I'm going to buy one yet as I have some concerns. First of all, it's way overpriced. I could go out tomorrow and buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for less than 50K and it's a nicer car. The electric cars in general are way out of line in their cost structure,
Secondly—and this is the primary reason I'm waiting—I have concerns that Fisker will even survive. They're not selling or producing a lot of cars at this point. Their stock is down to about .75 cents a share. They have very little cash and without an infusion they won't survive. So, if I go out and buy a Fisker it's highly likely that they won't exist in two or three years. So, where would I get parts or service if needed?
I'm certainly interested but I'm waiting for a while.
Great looking SUV that's late to the game and as a result, very over priced.
Spac compxany would not survive…why buy this
Only 500 fast launches lol.
I believe everything Henri Fisker say.
Question: Will Henri Fisker start a 3rd car company?
Brian, did your car have 1.11 update? I noticed a post in Edmunds that a lot of software bugs are present. I am wondering what version of software is currently installed. thanks
I knew I recognized some of the footage… BMW dealership on the 78 in Vista, CA.. which closed down… and is now a Fisker center?
I think Brian made a Wong choice here 🤷🏼♂️
Considering it ranked last so many blind owners 😅.
Not exactly cheap is it. Yhey have reneged on the affordability, so this won't sell in big numbers which may be an issue for the company trying to recover R&D costs and make profits.
did you get updated to the newest software yet?
Just don’t use all the boosts! And Fisker is not a startup. Didn’t they have a car in 2010?
I am tired of paying to be a beta tester. I would never pay 70k to be one. Companies need to test their product before releasing.
it'S an edmund hail mute like it ain't….
I see a bankruptcy in Fisker's future.
nice looking SUV
For 70 grand I could buy a used AMG Mercedes AND a used Range Rover. That thing is worth 35k tops. It’s got handsome exterior styling. But the interior looks cheap. Especially having an IPad for a center console and an iPhone max for a gauge cluster. Low rent. And the fact that it was sold without full functionality is inexcusable. Especially at 70k. Why would anyone settle for this kind of trash? No thanks. Dross
paying for promises? lol…wtf is this world coming to
What a turd….
OTA updates for Tesla is great, OTA updates for Fisker is bad. Both companies deliver unfinished products.
why is the hvac that complicated? EVs need to focus on simple; not complex. Needless power users like the hvac detract from the vehicle imo. Reduce tiny electric motors (and the wires) and use simple, lightweight linkage. Think EV with wind up/down manual windows. OK, that is a bit extreme, but the point is eliminate unnecessary weight and complication.
looks very cool
In a year, you’ll be lamenting that Fisker is bankrupt.
That boost option is so stupid lmaoooooooo
The number one mistake that every car company makes it’s not let make a great product for our customer. Let’s make a great product to change the world it let make a product to beat tesla get your shit together.
Absolutely love the FIsker Ocean! Best in class
Very educative review.
