Fisker Ocean: $70K Dream or $70K Paperweight? Spoiler: Paperweight
Cristian Fleming shelled out a whopping $70,000 for his Fisker Ocean EV, dazzled by its 350-mile range, eco-yet-quirky California Modes that roll down nearly every window simultaneously, and those coveted 'looks' he admits were his 'first mistake.' Fast forward to June 2024, a mere seven months laterāFisker declared bankruptcy after coughing up only 11,000 cars. Early adopters like Fleming got a car riddled with battery meltdowns, glitchy software, door handles that refuse to play nice, and key fobs that moonlight as useless trinkets. So that sleek ride? Turns out more like a very expensive sci-fi paperweight for an unfortunate eco enthusiast.

Dropping $70K on a Fisker Ocean for California Modes then watching Fisker sink and your car behave like a glitchy haunted house is the modern luxury experience no one asked for.
When your $70K Fisker Ocean spends more time in software nightmares than on the road, youāve officially bought a high-tech money pit with windows that just want to party alone.
Fisker shipped 11,000 so-called dream EVs before filing bankruptcyāseven months after folks proudly drove off the lot into battery purgatory. Eco-friendly? More like eco-ouchy.
