The updated Fisker Ocean review with software update 2.0 - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pYpqhWibiYecyWg.html

Anyone here from the Fisker’s chief engineer’s call to the owner of this car? 😀

They totally missed out on the earth, wind, and fire mode.

"This is the worst car I have ever reviewed",......... but in the end " Fiskar I'm rooting for you". This guy genuinely knows his business.

Well that wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting based on the chatter.

Imagine buying a car and waiting for the DLC to drop

people in 10 years trying to sell their Oceans, "how many boosts does it have left?" lmaoooo

Fisker’s: please wait for 2.0 🥺 MKBHD: no☝️ Video title: the _WORST_ car I’ve ever reviewed Fisker’s: 👁️👄👁️

The Streisand effect I heard this car was bad but now I have to watch this, even though I wasn't interested before.

I feel like they really pissed him off by trying to prevent him from reviewing it lol

Car companies took a page out of the book of video game development by releasing an unfinished product and then promising their customers with future updates that will fix things

Omg. As someone who owns many vehicles, none newer than 2003, I cannot imagine wanting to buy a vehicle that relies on software, screens, internet connections, apps and all sorts of completely unnecessary tech. This is absurd. You need "software updates" for a CAR? Wtf! I don't even want those buggy updates on my laptop. Less tech, less problems.

The more computerized a car is, the more annoyances you deal with. Imagine getting a car the price of a Corvette that comes with no Sync or cruise control, which I’ve literally seen on rentals, and being told it’ll come in a software update. What happens if they decide not to update it? They already got your money. Oh well, enjoy your rolling hunk of scrap electronics!

Bro it’s funny because I sent an email to Fisker back in JULY when I filmed this car. I told them a list of things that needed to be fixed because the car I filmed was apparently pre-production. Sad that none of them were addressed. Really wanted Fisker to do well.

The fact that multiple car companies are selling cars that need major software updates post-launch is crazy to me

Marques is being blamed for the bankruptcy of Fisker because of this video 😂

Not to contradict, but Marques here keeps saying Fisker is a new company, and here I am wondering if I hallucinated James May driving a Fisker Karma on TG back in 2012.

Insane of them to not want you to review it as they do not see it as ready but are willing to charge customers 75k for it. Absolutely right of you to review the product they have chosen to sell to customers

Why can't companies just finish a product before they start selling it?

Supposedly mini coopers have a limited number of launch control boosts, too. I recently learned about this for my model of mini. It's only 100 uses and has some really weird combination of inputs to use. So it's not unheard of. I was also confused by the lifetime limit thing, but for me it's a feature I'll probably never use and it's a non-issue.

Every car in Eco will let you punch it if you floor it. It's a safety thing. If you need to GO, you need to GO... you may not have time to futz around with drive modes. Flooring it will always bring full power.

It's incredible (to me) that car infotainment systems (from all brands) are still so slow/crappy. We've had tablets and phones with a LOT more functionality for decades now for less than $200.

A digital limit on launch control on your OWN car is insane.

Not including a glovebox took “courage”.

Not subbed, never watched this channel before, but this popped up on my recommended feed. So I watched it. Then I went out and wouldn't you know it, one of these drove past me. "So what?" I live in a small town in the East of England, I never expected to see one, certainly not on the same day I just watched this video! Love it!

Classic example of a car thats designed on computer and never been prototyped to find all the human interaction flaws.

for the 499 burst i think you have to watch an ad to refill it 😂😂😂

Ok so $75k foooorrrrrrr WHAT??? No NACS, no power open trunk no Funk, no power charge port and why is that any where NEAR $75k $30K At most, Plastic everything, bland and plain rubbery interior, zero luxury,, wait no Sport Brakes either??? Supposed solar panels for 3 miles maybe????? Horrible and no software???? This company will be delisted

Cars needing software updates just doesn't seem right to me.

"When you open the tray, you see what you desire the most on it" Marques - Phone, iPad, Laptop Me - McNuggets with ketchup

As a wise man once said "Fiskers don't make noise when they startup, just so ya know"

Dude the tray part killed me. Wtf lmao no glove box, just two different trays

At least they tell you how many boost you have, other companies just choose to not tell you

I am a Fisker Ocean One owner and I feel like everything you commented on is valid. The fob sucks, the lack of saving my drive modes, the crazy flashing errors I get constantly…it’s unique for sure. Though I enjoy every moment I’m able to drive it. It’s a unique experience I can’t get enough of. I welcome the honest commentary on the vehicle and I hope the negative commentary forces them to address some of these long standing issues

i would have never watched this if it werent for the company trying to silence this review

people need to realize just how many lives this video actually saved. i would be legit scared to see a fiskar ocean driving nearby me on the highway

When you make a car like this... the most important thing is the software... and it should work from day 1

fisker isn't particularly known for their quality. or their reputation. or anything really.

Stock down to $0.185. I never heard of this company till today. Interesting.

Cars are different than phones

Ive never given my truck a software update and my Bluetooth has never failed me.

Anyone here from the fisker call

I'm old. I can't conceive of paying north of 40 grand for a car, and, what does it cost to replace all of these electronics when they fail? I've got a great mechanic who used to work at a dealership and can fix anything that goes wrong with my cars for reasonable prices.

Find it so crazy how they’re not comfortable with you reviewing the car before the update but are happy to take peoples money for a car they don’t believe in

That "I had to drive home in silence" felt personal

Being able to floor it in "Earth Mode" is probably a safety feature. Even if you are in eco-mode, you need to be able to access more acceleration in an emergency situation.

Got to love that companies think it's fine to sell things half baked but you better make sure you wait until we fix it for a review.

I was so confused when I saw the thumbnail and channel name. Here in Germany we have a magazine called "Focus" and they also do car reviews. Auto is German for car, so I thought "Auto Focus" would be the YT channel for focus' car reviews and that they have a feature with Marques. So yeah, thought I share that with you all.

10:30 me looking at the tray: "for food" marques looking at the tray: "ipad and laptop"

My neighbour has this car. I was shovelling snow in our shared driveway, and the car suddenly just unlocked the doors and exposed the door handles for no reason 😂 It seems to have huge issues with the cold climate in Norway.

Cars are not videogames you can't get away with later updates or you go bankcurrept

The launch limit definitely feels like a seque into a bogus subscription model - "for $23.99 you get unlimited Launches"

The sunroof opening with all the other windows opening is a heat dump mode for a very hot summer day. You get in the truck, on a very sunny summer day, and it's a 120 degrees inside, this opens everything up and gets the heat out quick, so the ac unit does not have to work as hard to cool the inside of the truck.

I find it humorous that Fisker have called you a Mouthpiece over this video, and yet everything you say is fully reasoned out. They should do better.

Man, I expected way worse. This kind stuff was 100% acceptable in the 2010s. They do need to figure a few things out, but nothing that can't be fixed with software updates (I assume...lol)

I have a 2021 VW ID.4 (the first year) and I loved the way that it drove but the software was HORRIBLE and that really killed how I felt about the car, and VW, overall. The infotainment system was incredibly laggy and super buggy and many electrical things wouldn't work reliably, like the rear liftgate and some of the safe driving features. After just over a year, I was able to bring my car into the dealer for a software update. Almost all of the problems were addressed and now the car is WAY better with almost none of the previous frustrations being an issue any longer. All of this to say that these new electric cars have some kinks to work out, with the Fisker being no exception. I know how frustrating these issues can be and hopefully Fisker makes the changes that are needed to make the car an exciting one to own. I especially wish this as I have an order in with Fisker and have waited on pulling the trigger and completing the order until they work some of these things out. But at least its good to hear that they got the driving fundamentals right. Software issues can usually be fixed. The way a car drives is much tougher to address, if it can be addressed at all.

Having worked in automotive software validation for years, THANK YOU for expressing how these "minor annoyances" can totally ruin the driving experience. They're not minor. They're very big deals, especially when they distract the person who's supposed to be piloting a dangerous, powerful machine through an uncontrolled environment. That said, it sounds like they know they rushed it out, they were trying very hard to keep this crapware away from you, and that tells me they're taking the issues seriously. If 2.0 fixes some things, 2.1 should fix even more. Maybe in a few years it'll be worth owning.

12:13 IMO you should get full power when you floor the acceleration pedal on any car, on any driving mode. Because you wouldn't floor it if it wasn't for an urgent need to do so. And you don't want to fiddle with driving modes when it's urgent to floor the pedal

That bluetooth issue you're talking about we get on our 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. It's crazy annoying. You also can't tell it to stop trying to reconnect so it will just keep trying. Everytime it fails it will take over the whole car screen to tell you about it. And if it does connect you can expect it to disconnect very shortly after.

So this one 20 minute video took down an entire company. They weren’t able to secure more investor money and their stock has been delisted now. That is the power of UKposts now.

so he hasn’t driven a vinfast yet 😅

Imagine after exceeding the 500 Limit, you have to pay for every extra Boost or get an "Unlimited Boost" Subscribtion like BMW does for Heated Seats. Then they really played the Subscribtion Game! The only better thing would be a limit for hard braking.

So sad. I think 2-3 more months of work and they would’ve made a great alt ev car

so many things that are just.. weird... it's like the company has never seen a car before, and got rid of so many common features.. and the entire software thing just seems... oef..

That 500 boost limit is insane. It would make me never want to use it at all.

That "I had to drive home in silence" felt personal 😂

You used your UKposts power to destroy an entire car company with a single video 😂

i love how the DLC structure of things has leaked to everything now as they get more and more software in them you thought we were beta testers before... we're all literally just early access buy ins these days

I worked at GM on one of their (web) software teams and they started rerouting all ton of software people toward what they called “software defined vehicle.” The issues shown in this video iterate exactly why the idea of that made my skin crawl. A vehicle is first and foremost a means of transportation. Software features should enhance and add to that experience after (and ONLY after) all the basic features found in cars from the ‘90s (or earlier for that matter) are absolutely rock solid. Technology, especially in a personal transportation setting, should get out of the user’s way and make using things less complicated and cumbersome, not more.

Red and blue flashing lights on the dash at night has to be one of the most ridiculous oversights I’ve ever heard of. Has nobody at Fisker ever driven a car before? Or are they unaware that cops exist?

They can do as many OTA updates they want, those won't fix the steering wheel, the absence of the glovebox, that weird laptop holder inside the storage space, the absence of storage in the back seats... It looks more like a preproduction car.

Big ups to marques for keeping it genuine and honest and simulating the real purchase experience instead of having the car delivered to be fit for review

There’s this ongoing trend in American product development where the venture capital or board members have unrealistic expectations about a product release cycle, and I think this is yet another victim of the “get this to market now” mentality. It’s so shortsighted and I doubt there would ever be any complaints that they waited until the product was ready and it actually succeeded, but the people behind the money just underestimate how public perception of a launch can create an unnecessary hole for them to climb out of. It’s a setback that’s easily avoided simply by allowing more time. The public should never see a MVP, but that’s almost exclusively what the public sees these days and it’s not pretty.

Big mistake to a company rush to get a unfinished product into the market. It's sign of financial despair. If they don't act soon, the brand is doomed.

the life time boost part is wild. imagine buying a second hand car and having to check how many life time boosts left in its life time?

Connected to the internet... as someone who's studied cyber-sec to a certain degree i just gotta say... scary. I've seen the video of the car being hacked on the highway. Lol if they messed up that much on the user side of the software, i can only imagine what a state the back-end security of the software is. I hope it's well secured but... companies hate investing in cyber-security b/c it doesn't generate profit unless that's literally what your business sells, and the people in charge usually don't understand the gravity or many, many ways of being compromised until it happens. Remember when a 1000 or more Tesla cars just got remotely shut off due to a glitch? Well what if a hacker got into whatever server/service controls that. Whether it's individual car security or the security of the servers it communicates with, it's hella important. Of course "nothing is 100% secure" BUT there is a difference btw high hanging, headache inducing security (hard + high-effort, hopefully w/ multiple complex steps + lots of time investment + no single point-of-failure, etc) and very low hanging security (easy + low effort + small investment of time to accomplish, etc). I am curious what most of these EVs are running their computers on (linux is my best guess?) Idk though, i'm not a car guy

Interior designed by someone who exclusively travels by airplane

Its a decent review. Their reaction is what made this whole situation sketchy. Like what else do they have to hide.

And now, Fisker is no more.

He quickly gets all the tiny positives out of the way first.

I love solar panels on cars. Not for adding range, but for running ventilation during the summer. Helping circulate air makes a huge difference on how hot the interior gets.

The lag and jankyness of that OS would have me tearing that screen off

Bro. I am a Tesla Model X owner, my wife has Model 3, my coworkers has Model S and Model Y. Hey Tesla actually is very close to being the worst car not only tested, but actually out on the road. The rattle noise in all our Tesla cars are amazingly annoying. My wife's Model 3 long range has rain water coming into the trunk even after Tesla service center has previously installed a new rubber trim around trunk lid opening. Then, my coworkers Teslas, my wife's Tesla, my Tesla all have rattle noise. You know how Tesla save time in their manufacturing process by not using screws, but only to snap interior panels and try to secure the interior panels that way, then as the car bodies flex while travelling on uneven surface or making a turn, rattle noise start to remind you that you are driving a Tesla vehicle. Hey, my wife's Model 3 and my coworkers' Model Ys and Model 3s come only with one screen. The lack of a second "smaller" screen behind the steering wheel means drivers of Tesla cars have to do everything about their car function in one single screen. I was on I-5, trying to make a u-turn after getting to an offramp, once L-turn signals was engaged, the stupid small rear-view cam showed up and blocked the left upper portion of the screen. I tried to to other adjustments on the screen for my car feature, it was stupidly blocked by that particular L-turn rear-view cam which just popped up. Normally, I would have a second smaller screen on my Model X, which I find very useful. The Ocean SUV has that second smaller screen. Hey bro, you know the stupid Tesla glove box sometimes get stuck and would not electronically open. I have been back to the Tesla service center multiple times to resolve (rain leaking into trunk issue, left-rear mirror stops folding and unfolding, multiple rattle notise issues, panel gap issues, and my wife's Model 3 just start to have the famous ball joint issue for both Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, that the rear motor of my Model X died 4000 miles ago, and it needed to be replaced. Hey, you know Tesla make the worst car I, my wife and my coworkers have every driven as consumers. Hey bro. I know a lot of youtubers like you own Tesla stocks and you guys never disclose about it. Hey bro, I know that you realize Tesla is selling fewer cars than expected for 2024, so you UKpostsrs are doing whatever you can to help Tesla sell more by downpaying or even bullying newcomers (including some UKpostsrs are saying R2 of Rivian also have bad design problem, etc.) Hey bro, you know what? What you are doing today will surely come back and bite you harshly. Watch and learn. I have Tesla, my wife own Tesla, my coworkers own their Teslas, but Tesla make the worst cars out there. Also, good luck with getting the officially stated ranges for your Teslas. Remember this are words from real Tesla cars owners. Have I mentioned Tesla service sucks. you have made an appointment with the Tesla Service Center, and they suddenly move your appointment to a totally different day right on the day before your appointment. It is so frustrating both with Tesla products and Tesla service. The worst auto company in the world is Tesla. Don't even get me started on how fast the depreciation of Tesla cars have been. My coworkers' Plaid Model S was purchased at 133,000 USD, he tried to see what Tesla could give him if he trade it in for a Model X Plaid since he was expected a newborn. Tesla only gave him 69,000 USD after 1.5 years of ownership of his S Plaid. Tesla is so hilarious. And thanks to your seemingly biased reviews of EVs by new EV companies. You don't even know how to rotate the screen huh? Have you ever done your due diligence and learn the vehicle before you start your so-called "review"? Last time a non-Tesla owner had the review of a Tesla on UKposts, she could not figure out how to turn on the car when actually pressing the brake pedal would turn on the car, you know what happened? She was bullied by Tesla owners who watched her video. You are lucky that Fisker owners don't do the same here to you. Bro. how old are you? Can't figure out how to rotate a screen? Let me do this bullying for real Fisker owners as a Tesla owner.

This is the carryover from software/appliance companies. They will sell products that are not fully ready. It is going to be more common going forward.

If version 2.0 promises enough changes to supposedly hugely affect your review, will you do a follow up after like a couple of weeks with said update?

That tray in the center console is the quirkiest thing I've seen in a car made in the past 10 years

God forbid they get people to properly test the item before selling it to the public. Companies are so careless nowadays.

The fact that we have to depend on software for features like vehicle auto hold and stuff, points to the fact that when the software crashes, you will be stranded or driving off a cliff while good car brands like Toyota and others will continue to work because not everything has to be software related in a machine like a car. Car are about mechanics and not software. The good car brands have succeeded for years because of their engineering of good mechanics, not because of a massive screen in the middle and software update for the car to function properly. EV car brands like this might be exciting but it's a disaster waiting to happen.

As a safety feature, going full power 11:54 when flooring it makes total sense. AFAIK it’s called kick-down on most cars. Different drive modes should change the acceleration response, except for situations when you floor it. When you see a truck heading up your way while doing a pass, you don’t want to be pressing any other extra buttons. Love your work, Marques

This is the straight up modern videogame industry approach where you release something totally buggy and unfinished and say you'll fix it eventually with updates after you get people's money, except this is something with genuine safety implications lmao

Great video, young man. Notwithstanding the issues that you covered, would you say that is now worth buying given the massive price cuts on this model? Thanks for the great information.

Boost mode - some journalist should attempt to use all 500 to see what happens when the counter gets to zero. And, someone should see if that number gets reset when the 12V battery is disconnected. 😅

"You could give me this car and I would not want to drive it" Fisker: 😳

Dude, you pretty much just described most of the Aston Martin cars. in fact, not sure if you knew, Henrik Fisker was the original designer for the DB9/Vantage platform. i think it's kinda funny that a lot of the old "features" got carried over. not sure if he's just obsessed with those design choices or not. ie. everything from the tiny small visor/mirror -yes it really is that tiny inside an Aston Martin DB9/Vantage. i know this, because i have one - to the incredibly short range of key fob operating radius where you literately have to stand right next to the door to operate. I guess, Henrik Fisker always considered the fact that when you're an MI6 spy, you don't want to accidently unlock your top secret super car unless if you're right next to it. Instrumental software also doesn't always work as it should inside an Aston Martin. It seems that a lot of the issues with this car is software related, which is kinda sad. we live in a day and age now that most of our driving experiences are dictated by software. Although I think it's a bit harsh to title the video as the "worst car", i do think that they rushed the delivery of the Ocean. a lot of the annoyances seem to stem from bugs and poor interface experience that mostly resemble a beta software release. Here is to hope that they can turn it around because we only need more competition in this market place. because i really do not want to be just another Tesla driver.

They treat the car like a live service game. “Updates coming soon” 😂

I thought most of the so called quirks were pretty innovative cool stuff.

Who is here for ‘that MKHBD kid’ 😅

Once upon a time, I reserved a Fisker Ocean with a $250 Deposit. Had a terrible experience trying to get any kind of information about delivery timing. I ended up cancelling my Reservation a few months later. Unfortunately, I also invested in Fisker and bought 2000 shares - worth about $300 now. On the verge of his second failure, I think it’s clear that Henrik Fisker is a dreamer and a brilliant conceptual Designer - but that doesn’t mean he knows how to build and lead an automobile company. He’s probably better suited as an R&D leader. Lesson learned.

A lot of these issues seem to be software they can change in future updates

As Tesla car owners, I and my wife want the openable Sunroof, the solar panels (since we should harness as much renewable and sustainable energy as we can), the rotating touchscreen is great due to sometimes it is used for movies (when horizontal), sometimes for navigation (when vertical), the electronic rear-mirror is great (since Tesla rear mirrors are so small and the sloping back pillars and windows is a joke all together), the tray table option due to we love to eat snack in our cars while watching movies in the car, especially when we are at Supercharging locations during our trips. The buttons to control AC are great since in the Tesla, when we watch movies, we cannot change the AC setting without minimizing the Movies first, kind of annoying on the Tesla cars. The California mode on this Fisker Ocean is awesome, can really have our big dogs chill with us by the beach. The problem with Tesla cars is that the sloping rear roof line makes it too low for our big dogs to feel comfy. So a lot of Fisker designs make sense, but not to this reviewer. LOL
