    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.

    • Whatever do you mean?   I thought that Toyota cars are trouble free... But you are right, Id be regretting it long term as I am gonna keep this car as long as I can.  In all honesty though, but sarcastically too, why would a creaky and rattily interior be a bother to me?  I grew up on and enjoyed GM cars of the 1980s and 1990s...    Bought new. Like always. I went to visit KIA, briefly.  They had no cars available for an immediate purchase either. I didnt stay to ask for more information.  Elantra N would have been of interest...but in reality, too small.   I wanted to see how a Sonata or K4 would have been like, but same as KIA or anybody else for that matter, Hyundai had no cars available for immediate delivery.  The only EV I wanted to buy, for my wife, was the Equinox. But...the base Equinox was not available for purchase yet and the higher trims were 6 months waiting period.  We could  have waited for an Equinox, well, I didnt have a problem waiting for it, she did though. Well, she didnt want to spend 50-60 thousand Canadian big ones on an EV. Or any car really.  As for me me...I wanted the Equinox for her, she didnt mind the Equinox, she liked it, but for me me, there was/is a huuuuuge problem with the Equinox EV...its that its an SUV. Me dont likey SUV.  The Charger EV was not available for sale, then.  I wouldnt have considered it though as it kinda sucks as an EV.  Its not bad, but it aint good.  As we speak, the inline 6 is available to buy, but lordy lordy lordy, it must be expensive as heck.  So...like I said, Accord or Camry.   I stayed with the Honda family.  Wife has a Civic. I have an Accord.  It pains me that I have turned Japanese.  But hey...what is it I say?  Elbows Up???!!! 
    • Why consider Toyota when you have other better options imho. I honestly do not remember if you bought a certified car, aka lease turn in or new, but there are these options: Kia - K4 or EV4  Hyundai - Elantra N or Ioniq 6 N Genesis - G70, G80, G90 or their electric version  
    • I think you'd come to regret that trade once the interior of the Camry starts creaking and squeaking over every bump.
