your model X looks exactly like my family's model x

I’m charging my KIA

Wow I’m surprised they still haven’t fixed it I was there a few weeks ago

You need to get out to the west coast we have some colinga has 82

I think it’s safe to say that consumers never buy a new car from an electric car company start up.

Chubbs Peterson!!!

I had no idea what a magic dock was until this video. I've never come across these type of superchargers.

Caveat: I watch a lot of videos about EV, but don't own one (yet) so my $0.02 This is a good example of form over function. Sure, the charging stalls look good , but there is no info on how to use them for the non-Tesla owner. Watching videos on other chargers, some of them will have detailed instructions on how to EXACTLY remove the charger and use it. Watching you remove the magic dock on the next charger might not be well known, or people might skip a step. Either try and remove the dock after holding down the button but NOT pushing forward to engage the latch, or just trying to take out the charge cable and just getting the Tesla end. Frustration would build up quickly. Since none of the other stalls are damaged, I'd guess this is what happened and someone got P.O.ed. Is there an option on the built in car app or phone app to report broken chargers?

Being a Tesla owner for only a month I'm still a noob and didn't even know what your video title meant. But you showed how to release the dock, and to me, it seems like a frustrated user lost their temper. They probably weren't patient enough or didn't even know that they had to hold the button for that long. I think it if was pure vandalism there would be more of them broken at that location.

Maybe someone was just trying to steal the adapter?

just call Tesla and report the issue. They will get it fixed.

Better? Hardly. Tesla has a long established network with reliability. 😂

Wow, EA/EVGO are you taking notes?

First caught you guys on Out of Spec a few weeks ago, and your ability to “recover” after having been seriously SHARK-BIT in your dip in the Ocean was/is IMPRESSIVE AF! You’re my kind of people - forward, ever, backward, never. BRAVO! Also, early-adopters (of many marques) are sooooo valuable vs FUD. 👍👍👊🫡

The Hummer pickup outsold the Rivian pickup in the second quarter! Imagine that fact!

Awesome video Brian thank you for sharing this information with us. Now I will be looking at the information plate on DCFC from here on out.

Who has the best fast charging also depends on lifetime of the batteries. It is easy to just use a more aggressive charging curve. Hard to fast charge carefully enough so that the battery lasts while still being fast.

It's kind of stupid, charging stations have no bathrooms, food, snacks, windshield cleaning scrubbers, access to oil, coolant, washer fluid, tire air hose (have to provide your own).

Rivian doesn't have access to ALL Tesla Superchargers. Conversely, Teslas can charge at all CCS stations (except for Rivian Adventure Network "RAN"). I'd say there are significantly more V2 Tesla Superchargers (non-Rivian compatible) than there are RAN chargers. Additionally, though very good, the RAN chargers do load share so they're quite slow if you show up at a full station.

V4 Tesla SC should have a mini screen on the charger that is touchscreen.

How is the load sharing between the rivian units? I heard the units share power so if it's a full house they are throttled ( like tesla v2 units)

I think you are going to find that many campground pedestals will fail because many 29:11 campground grids are not built to support a consistent load.

A little off topic but I don't think enough people realize that assuming you get around 250 miles in your ev, there are large stretches you can drive on magic docks alone. For example, on the east coast, you can pretty much go from Maine to DC / Maryland before needing anything else.

it's charging you 40 cents a mile, that's INSANE! At current gas prices that's like getting 8 miles per gallon!

Thanx for the review. We have a 2015 Model S the exact same color. Love the car so much I've been looking at Model X. I was checking the ole school hip hop too. My era.

Thank you so much for putting this video together! Very informative, liked every aspect of it

Question: Since you have a Tesla EV and driven a Fisker Ocean like me. When you have your Tesla in your garage and charging or not does it get very Warm inside your Tesla compared to the Fisker Ocean. My Fisker seems to be very warm for some reason after charging overnight. Also, my Mirror fan is now coming on even though I have Software version 2.0. Also, does this warm inside true of all EV's like the RIVIAN, etc...

Call Chase to have them tell you “keep up with your payments”. The bank only provided the $$ to allow the purchase they weren’t responsible for deciding if it was fit for purpose.

I agree - Rivian is almost 1st in terms of software. VW seems to recognize that

It didn't take long for Brian to end his love affair with the Fisker Ocean and start courting the Rivian.

Rivian software version 19.04, Fisker software version 2.1 lol

So what Fisker modell is the best?

Since your battery degradation held up pretty well I’m curious how have been your charging habits? How often do you charge on superchargers, do you charge till 90% daily?

So, whilst I appreciate the comments for what they are, we didn't all buy them as a 'Third vehicle' I will have no choice but to run my FOO which, having purchased it outright, is my only Car. In the UK, it seems you can't give them away at the moment and no one will take the vehicle as a PX so, I have no option other than to keep the car and hope it remains roadworthy and, insurable!!

Hey all just a quick question, I hear the recommendation not to get an Ocean. However, if you were to come across a fully loaded ,under 400 miles Fisker Ocean for say 20k would you say it's still a no go. My thought is a new EV at a low price and run it till it breaks ,might be ok. Appreciate the input.

Excellent discussion. But I wish Adam would expand on "everything Rivian stands for is null and void until the open the RAN network". How does the closed network make Rivian unworthy? First, there are very few RAN locations relative to Tesla's SCs. They simply won't make a dent in the road-trip charging experience for non-Rivians. Second, the company is trying to survive. I want them to concentrate on profitability, not assisting charging Chevy Bolts. You two were suckered by Fisker. Rivian is not a company deserving of derisive comments.

So glad that both of you are enjoying your new vehicles. I had ordered, back in November of 2023, a Fisker Ocean Sport - similar to Adam's. As I saw Fisker was having financial issues, I cancelled my order. Fisker did refund my reservation cost of $250 but I was not able to get the $750 back for my order. After trying out different EV's for my older, larger, and taller frame, the Chevy Blazer EV RS was a great fit for me at a price of $46K after rebate. I've been so happy with this vehicle, which is a sister to your Honda Prologue as I understand. It's faster than most ICE vehicles up to about 50 mph, it's spacious front and back and love the software and safety features (although the collision system auto braking is a bit sensitive). As my first EV, I feel fortunate to have quickly worked through the range anxiety, software anxiety, and charging anxiety issues to simply enjoying the smooth, quiet, comfortable and reliable performance of this car. Thank you to Brian and Adam for your informative updates and guidance as we negotiate this new world of the EV experience.

I watched Rivian’s Investor Day and RJ mentioned that they will open up their charging network by this summer. I’m excited about this.

Damn Fisker recalling every Ocean. Just found out. oof.

1008 cars produced in Feb-Mar period

Hey guys, great video. Adam, just to let you know, the Blazer EV has the same software bug message "Unable to charge" but charges anyway (experienced a couple of times with a home Tesla universal charger). So maybe this is an "Ultium" issue. Also I ran into a charge etiquette of 30 min max on my last trip when talking with the locals at a busy charge site.

I look at every vehicle I buy as a 3 to 4 year relationship. As long as the vehicle drives with no major issues Im satisfied. Whatever value it has or doesn't have after that 4 years is irrelevant to me since I've traded in Luxury SUVs for less. Its on to the next 4 year relationship. I cant buy into the forever doom and gloom around owning an Ocean, because like most modern cars, its not a forever vehicle. If 4G goes, there's Hotspot. If Tom Tom goes...who will miss it? The only worry is the 12Volt battery issues or windows getting stuck and needing calibration and avoiding accidents. But the FOO community has been swift with fixes, since it appears to be blessed with tech and engineering savvy motivated people, that so far Im learning a lot from. As frustrated as people may be with how everything played out, the theme is resilience and community support for those that chose to keep their cars and for those that don't have the choice to currently get out of them. Not all owners want to be "felt sorry for". In the end everyone does what's right for us, be it by will or under duress.

Hi Brian, in other video. You mentioned how you find the value on your ocean one by inputting your vin number. When I try to do that with my ocean one vin. It comes back as a sport model. How do I go about to correct this? I guess at this point it probably doesn't matter because the value has drop to $25k. I just want to correct this when I sell it. Thanks

I fully understand, and everyone absolutely understands, the loss the early adopters suffered upon selling their Oceans. And those that remain owners have an Ocean than either can't be sold or sold at, perhaps, more of a loss than either of you took. However, we see the Ocean One and Extremes today, 6/29/24, at some as low as less than $25k. So, I am actually still considering a purchase, especially as 2.1 seems to offer a better product and if 3.0 gets delivered that might make the Ocean a very reasonable purchase vs. risk. In reality a purchase of $25k is a much lower risk than early adopters took and even if the Ocean bricks, which I do not think will be the norm, parts will have value. I suspect insurance will be hard to come by or expensive, however it is available now. If some purchase, or if I do, if insurance rates go up exponentially, 1 year from now it might be ok to just carry liability and drop collision for those with no loans. I've test driven 4 Oceans, cumulative, 30 mins, so not enough time to see issues so I experienced none. I do think the design is very attractive.

NO ONE will pay 68k for one now

I took moment o write down all or most of the issues that I have felt or actually absorbed due to my ownership of the Fisker ocean One: Fisker Implication Issues My privileged position allowed me to NOT recognize the following issues which I’ve absorbed - all to my detriment 1. Emotional Health Distress 2. Physical Health Decline 3. Mental Health Disability 4. Financial Health Dismay 5. Interpersonal Relationship Hardships

Im hoping to get one for under 15k and the community comes with the remedies 😅

I just recently subscribe your channel and I listen to one of your podcasts on out of spec reviews this week. It was the podcast about the Fisker ocean and how they recently declared chapter 11 bankruptcy.

you have the same dog seat I have lol
