DRIVING FISKER OCEAN, TOUR NEW EVS AT CES, AND TESLA PRICE CUTS

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean, particularly the performance variant, presents a striking design and a premium interior, but falls short in crucial areas. While the rotating screen is a novel feature, the overall software experience felt unfinished and clunky, with visible warning lights on a CES show car. The reviewer noted a significant downside in the decision to make the front axle the primary drive axle, leading to handling that doesn't match the car's sporty aspirations. The solar roof, while innovative, created distracting shadows inside. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer found the seats comfortable and the base front-wheel-drive model, if equipped with larger wheels, could offer a stylish and premium experience for around $40,000, though it won't qualify for the US tax credit due to Austrian manufacturing. The performance version at $70,000 was deemed not worth the price.
