FISKER OCEAN - UPDATE 2.2 TOP 12 LIKES/DISLIKES

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean receives a significant software update with version 2.2, bringing a mix of welcome improvements and lingering disappointments. On the positive side, the update enhances the user experience with more reliable Bluetooth, a fixed "charge port open" error, and improved energy efficiency display. The regen braking is notably smoother, and a critical recall for regen disruption has been addressed, along with a more solid brake pedal feel. A standout feature is the activation of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) in North America. However, the update falls short in several areas. The reviewer expresses concern that this may be the last software update from Fisker due to financial issues. Key dislikes include the absence of a hill descent mode, inconsistent key fob range, and unchanged audio quality. Navigation map updates remain problematic, and the trunk power outlet has a limited 30-minute runtime. The new "Solar Sky" display lacks specific kilowatt numbers, and the desired one-pedal driving is still missing. Furthermore, the engineering mode password has changed, and the "California Mode" experienced issues with window operation. Finally, the "miles to empty" display has been reduced, though the reviewer notes the state of charge percentage remains the same. Despite the drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the update is a significant improvement and recommends it to Fisker Ocean owners.
