FISKER OCEAN - OCEAN OS 2.5 OTA AND OVERVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean receives its OS 2.5 OTA update, which, while not as transformative as previous versions, introduces several notable refinements. The reviewer highlights improvements in HVAC settings memory, a more flexible regenerative braking system with distinct 'Earth,' 'Fun,' and 'Hyper' modes, and the addition of torque vectoring, which subtly enhances the driving feel, particularly in 'Fun' mode. A significant usability enhancement is the extended standby time for the infotainment system, now set at 2 hours instead of 10 minutes, reducing reboots during daily use. New features include door lock and liftgate chimes, an auto setting for display brightness, and improved Wi-Fi tethering capabilities. While the core interface remains largely unchanged, the update addresses some user pain points and introduces subtle performance and convenience enhancements. The reviewer notes the potential for audio system improvements and a more synchronized clock, though these are subjective or unconfirmed. The pricing structure for future updates (OS 2.6) and subscription options are also detailed.
