I CALLED EVERY FISKER SERVICE CENTER IN THE COUNTRY FOR HELP: HERE'S HOW IT WENT

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details significant issues with his Fisker Ocean, purchased for $10,000 due to the company's bankruptcy. Problems include frequent error messages, unreliable Bluetooth, a concerning rollback from a dead stop, and inconsistent rear hatch operation. Major recalls involve door handle failure, coolant pump failure, and violent torque steer due to a 50/50 torque bias, which the reviewer notes is partially addressed by a 2.0 software update that recalibrates the split to 45/55. Regenerative braking is also described as unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Despite these numerous flaws, the reviewer expresses a continued liking for the car, attributing it partly to the low purchase price and its aesthetic appeal compared to the Tesla Model Y. The video highlights the difficulty in obtaining software updates and service due to Fisker's defunct status, with the Fisker Owners Association (FOA) emerging as a crucial support resource. The reviewer ultimately attempts a costly software update ($750 labor plus parts) which, unfortunately, does not resolve the existing error messages or torque steer issues, leaving the long-term viability of the Fisker Ocean uncertain.
