The 2023 Fisker Ocean Is the Quirkiest, Newest Electric SUV

Do they make a chrome Fisker Ocean? The chrome Karma might be the most reflective vehicle I’ve ever seen.

That turn signal makes good sense, if someone is slightly behind you they can actually see it.

This company just dropped their prices by tens of thousands of dollars. Why buy one even at that price if they will not be around long to support warranty covered items.

Just finished my test drive of the Ocean today... I absolutely loved it! It sealed the deal on converting my reservation to an order!

Fisker actually advertises those little windows being down as a place for your dog to put it's head out the window while being in the cargo area.

I'm genuinely excited for Fisker, Lucid and Rivian. They fill niches other car companies have been lethargic about, taking different approaches, and have different psyches than the old brands. Fisker is going for the most practical, value for money crowd (see the PEAR). Lucid is trying to be the new Cadillac. And Rivian is tapping into the Patagonia/REI crowd, with its outdoor friendliness. Real personality for all three, and different strengths, Lucid being supported by Saudis, Fisker by Magna Steyr/Foxconn, Rivian by Amazon. Compared to these, I think the Hummer is just what you expect of a GM EV. Mustang Mach-E and F150 Lightning feels..kinda exactly what you would expect from Ford. Hyundai/Kia is appealing to the design-focussed crowd. When shakeout comes, I hope these new brands survive instead of the old brands. They just seem hungrier and closer to what actual customer needs. I would spring for a PEAR with Toyota reliability in a heartbeat.

I'm genuinely glad Fisker was able to make it to production, I remember hearing about them years ago when it was a working prototype. I was worried that they would not make it to production and that the project would fizzle out, it's good that all these new car companies come out and bring their own style to market pushing innovation and creativity in car design and features. These companies are making cars fun again, and I wish them the best.

We’ve had our Fisker Ocean for 2 months now. We are so pleased we decided on the Ocean. Smooth to drive, and it literally saves us $220-240/month in fuel.

Ah, California Mode: the car's way of saying, 'Take my stuff, just leave the windows alone!'" 😂

I've been thinking about getting an Ocean. Doug actually omitted a couple quirks/features: there are buttons to the sides of the rear seats that allow them to recline/incline, the headrests have a unique shape from the side that resembles an ocean wave 🌊, and the interior features over 100 pounds of recycled materials.

The Ocean seems to be leading in the race to the thinnest tail lights. Also, props to Fisker by keeping the price right in the sweet spot for mid sized premium SUV pricing. If they want to sell a lot of these, they’ll need to poach more than a few X3, Macan and Stelvio customers.

Looking back on this review, comparing against other reviewers who posted much more recently, I can't help but wonder if Doug got a prototype that avoided all the production car problems that all the later reviewer experienced.

Test drove one this month. Super smooth ride. Very solidly built. Quieter than my tesla. Software lag wasn't an issue. Can't wait for my mid range ocean ultra to arrive. $50k for 350 miles and 3.8 0-60. Can't beat that.

Congrats Doug! The first Rivian auctioned and now the first fisker ocean auction! Cars and Bids is a serious force in the enthusiast car auction world!

Fisker is targeting the value market. For what you get between $40 to $70k, the value is insane. Plus you have a fantastic design. Next up Fisker is planning the PEAR, which is a slightly trimmed down Ocean for under $30k, now that could be an actual game changer.

Doug: Fisker gets top Doug scores! Marques: destroys company

It’s not often that you see a car almost a quirky as daddy Doug

I love my FOO - 1500 miles on it already and going strong. Great review - thanks Doug! Although, you should have noted that the screen will only go in the horizontal "Hollywood Mode" when in park so that you can watch TV while charging. Once you put the car in drive, it moves back to the vertical orientation. Also - the passenger tray you mentioned as a potential option for the center armrest actually comes out of the dash where the glove box would be. You showed it on the video but didn't engage it.

Seeing Fisker actually come back is a big deal. I’m excited for their future.

this review makes me question all of Doug's reviews...was he paid to ignore all of the obvious red flags that this had 6 months ago?
