Fisker has stated that they will disrupt the automotive world with their Ocean One SUV due to the following stated list:

• Beautiful Craftsmanship
• Ingenious Engineering
• Innovation
• Affordability
• Sustainability

So, this begs the question, "What are these Key Differentiating Features?"

Design Emphasis - Fisker has stated they have delivered a sleek, stylish, modern SUV. A dramatically sculpted exterior with an aggressive stance, clean lines, sleek surfaces and ultra-slim lighting, combining a durable and configurable SUV with the dynamics of a daring sports car.

Outstanding Battery Range - Fisker offers a hyper range battery pack that is up to 440 miles or 707 kilometers depending on wheel/tire choice. This is a 113kWH battery pack. The smaller battery pack is called their Touring Range battery pack.

Range is dependant on multiple factors, but the curb weight of the Ocean One Launch Edition id 5,365 lbs with a GVWR of 6,557 that has a towing rating of 4,013 lbs.

As you can see off the specification sheet, greater approach and departure angles are achieved with the larger 22" wheels.

Its a handsome SUV. 

But...my brain views SUVs like a racist views other races different from his own race....

1. If it aint a design that takes cues from a traditional car, then its too different for my biased brain to adapt therefore I dont necessarily fear it, but I know I HATE it and dont want it in MY neighbourhood! 

2. all SUVs and CUVs look alike and this one looks like a Range Rover.  A true racist will not admit liking physical features of a race different from his, but...I kinda like this one. 

I find Range Rovers attractive enough, and this Rivian falls into the me liking it category, but make NO mistake about it, I want it GONE from MY neck of the woods.  Tell it to go back where it came from.
