    Fisker Announces Name of First Vehicle, "Ocean"

      ...washing ashore in 2021...

    Today Henrik Fisker announced the name for Fisker's upcoming EV SUV. Called the Ocean, it has been shown in a number of concept studies over the past year.

    The concept wears a solar roof to help with charging and retractable door handles. Looking mildly like a Range Rover Evoque, the vehicle is being produced with many recycled materials. Fisker claims this will make the SUV one of the most sustainable vehicle available. 

    The starting price is claimed to be around $40,000 and have a range of over 300 miles through its 80 kWh enhanced lithium-ion batteries. Rear-motor, rear drive and dual-motor all wheel drive will be available.  The SUV should hit the market in late 2021, about a year after Tesla's Model Y goes on sales.  Fisker is offering a Tesla-like online-only sales model with "nationwide concierge service". 

    Henrik also announced that there will be some big news on November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving, when online reservation become available.  The production ready prototype will be revealed in January 2020.

    Fisker has been late in delivering on its promises before, so if you're waiting for one of these, you may be waiting a little longer than planned.

    Ocean...so does that mean it's amphibious? Better seal up those batteries! All kidding aside it looks pretty cool from behind other than the kind of busy bumper area the tail lights look sleek and blend in with the hatches upper body line nicely. 300 mi. range is the sweet spot as well, now if it actually gets that in real world testing we shall see.

    • As I have stated elsewhere, plenty of EVs coming off Lease that will make them great bargains for folks that need a commuter auto or run around local town driving.
    • ASSumption is what makes ASS out of people. ASSumption is what the ID Buzz is a FAILURE at. 6ft is not my 6FT 6" size. You are making the wrong assumption that a vehicle that is large is not needed. German car companies seem to have in the last few decades FAILED at making roomy autos for the large folks. To ASSUME everyone is the same leg length, body length, shoulder width, etc. is an ERROR that fails to acknowledge that we are all different sizes.  You SOUND like the folks that see me fuel up and say I can fit in a compact and should not be driving such a large auto. Let me ask you this: What is your inseam? This is the measure from the floor to your crotch. Mine is 40", I have long legs and as such seats have to go back farther than most people. What is your Shoulder width? Mine is 58", which makes airplane seats that are 28" wide a pain for me to sit in no different than most auto's. To Assume EVERYONE can fit in smaller cars just because some says a bunch of 6 footers can fit in an auto ignores the various measurements that are taken and depending on where they are taken, one size does not fit all. Yes, I KNOW that I am much larger than most people. I know I have never fit in mid-size or smaller autos till I bought the 2024 EV9 which has far more room inside than my 2006 Escalade. Does EVERYONE need an Escalade IQL, no, but then we do live in a democracy where last I heard it was a choice. You have a choice to drive a Mercedes just as I have a choice to drive a Cadillac and Kia. Just so you can see, here is a picture of my wife who is 5'8" tall and myself at 6'6" tall. While my wife is considered tall for Korean, she is considered normal size. I on the other hand am not normal or average size.
    • Me too….He has done a good job.   A little church is a good thing- it keeps me off social media for a while. Getting quite wild out there now……   At this point I’m running the Trax/ Equinox into the ground. And on the hunt for a beater for myself ( to replace the Cobalt that got hit head on last year) and one for my son.  Nothing new for a while over here…….
    • You should be able to get interior space without a vehicle being this large, it is bigger than the Ford Excursion. The ID Buzz could fit six 6-foot people in it with ease and is smaller than this.
    • When you have a family that is all over 6ft for woman, 6'3" for men, this is perfect size for large family of large people.
