Edmunds bought a Fisker Ocean for long term testing:

I prefer the 5 second limit over the hyper boost that only works 500 times. Or even the WTF mode on the Hummer.

Yeah, even though we are limited, I like not having to hit any buttons or go into special modes to use it.

The 500 use thing is pretty ridiculous. Even though it would take years (if ever) for most people to use them up, I hate the idea of it.

Sucks that both only work from a complete stop too. Gotta plan ahead to even use the full power. Basically both are parlor tricks rather than useful horsepower.

I wonder if they honestly will post software updates that will enable promised features

Test drove one in Hyper mode and it's really quick. 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds is Mach-E GT PE like.

Sadly the interior felt low-end Nissan/Hyundai/Kia/Toyota cheap.

After today's Mach-E price cuts... there is no way a $61K Ocean is remotely competitive. It needs to be $45K max.

Brutal. I saw one and thought, I'd own that. Then saw all this and thought, my MME isn't that bad..

Just read that Fisker might be delisted from NASDAQ due to its falling stock price.

The fake leather looks cheap. I like the tonneau cover. I like mine to be hard. The flimsy one is keep jamming the lift gate.

Fisker was delisted from the NYSE today. Props to them for trying but it seems like their Ocean was riddled with too many issues.

Mr. Fisker certainly has the Midas touch! I can't wait to invest in his next startup venture...

hope you are joking.

I had high hopes for Ocean, likely for me I went with Ford. I know I’m not brilliant as Mr. Fisker, but conversation with Nissan from the beginning looked like road to nowhere. Nissan has own EV in same segment. I hoped that Subaru or Mazda would acquire Fisker and save the car and future models.

Yeah Fisker didn't really have IP of their own, apparently the vehicle was built by Magna, so what would Nissan really have been investing in? Nissan probably had no interest in investing in what is essentially Magna IP. Instead, they would be better off from a business standpoint letting Fisker go bankrupt, and they partnering with Magna after the fact paying pennies to license whatever IP they were previously licensing to Fisker.

It seems like they should have a lot of IP around the design of the vehicles, and Magna just produced what Fisker designed. But who knows.
