Many people subscribe to different brands for what they represent and not solely for the value of their product. This phenomenon positively contributes to the unconscious meaning making of individuals to identify themselves with a movement. Fisker provides a very positive platform for individuals to find meaning.
I have never found so much excitement for a vehicle as much as I have for Fisker. Before coming to Fisker, I owned a Challenger, which, by all means, represents a whole ecosystem of its own. The Mopar brand. However, the history of Henrik Fisker as a great designer and entrepreneur has inspired me to believe that individuals can create and become something through their passion and beliefs.
I know that the Fisker stock (FSR) and the Ocean have received tremendous criticism by the opposition lately. That does not discourage me from keeping on dreamer in all the great products Fisker has yet to offer. I mean, people forget how their current products, which are in the 17th generation or 10th generation, have gone through significant updates throughout the product's history. But that the first of a kind never defines the entirety of a product line. Most likely, there will be more updates, and there will be some generations of the same product that will become classics. I think the Fisker products will go through the same process.
Fisker is creating a huge industry disruption, and it is clearly seen in the humongous amount of opposition it has generated. With that said, Henrik has to remain calm and focused and simply take that criticism only to improve and create even better products. I believe that Henrik has the capacity for continued talent that will only keep on growing and improving in the years to come.
MKBHD’s review was spot on. One of my best friends recently purchased his and is already wanting to return it. It was glitchy before the software update, and has improved some, but the fit and polish for a vehicle of that price just isn’t acceptable. To make things worse, after two months they still haven’t sent him the title so he can’t register or insure the car. Customer support is close to non existent. Fisker has always had a strange past and it seems like the new owners are carrying on the tradition
I found his review to be very fair. I actually find the positive reviews of fisker to be less fair since thise reviewers gloss over many of the software issues, arguing that "these problems will be fixed someday."
The only thing I agree on is that he did review the car dirty in a terrible setting I didn’t understand that but in reality it’s about the technology he said the car looked and drove great
Shame on Fisker for not taking criticism and working on making their customer happy. Instead chose to hire people like "SilentAlert" to help them mouth piece. I am turned off and will stay away from Frisker after watching this trash
Im just gonna say it. If his video was bad, this video is absolute garbage with only speculation and fisker glazing. So much road noise I could barley hear your point, but we wanna chat about good reviews and videos 😅. Fisker put out a sub-par car with sub-par software and thats that.
You know I dont question MKBHD vid since he never really talk seriously down on the vehicle. And showed very direct issues. He never tampered with the vehicle and reviewed it as it from its software to its hardware. No malicious intent, it was all in plain view. The car looks nice and operates but has soo many software issues that should or would be worked on. But for a company to not even have basic features like bluetooth or brake stopping on a hill it completely on them.
Thanks for your video. What was the motivation for MKBHD to post a severly negative click bait title, on top of a sloppy review? Who's pocket is he in?
All his car videos are like that in terms of production value/shooting locations. He created a separate channel for this with its own „DNA“.
The title is also not that it’s the worst car but the worst car he reviewed. Now everybody can watch his other videos and point out which other car he criticised more.
You also have to see this in context of the vehicle price.
Those are very annoying issues and they have also been pointed out by others. Fisker shouldn’t ship cars in that state.
Magna is great but they produce in relative small scale and it’s another party that needs to make profit. Tesla is performing so well because they do even more things in-house than everybody else. From things like seats to Software and even the robots for their factories.
Of course Tesla started with a car based on a Lotus Roadster but that was many years ago and it’s a different market today.
So Fisker won’t reach high volume but it’s not even a super premium car that would help generate margins. Even more Premium brands like Lucid struggle a lot even though they at least have some very advanced tech that is ahead of Tesla in some ways. Fisker has nothing very advanced. Just some promises for the future. If they close shop, we won’t lose any innovation.
I like the looks of the Ocean but think Fisker is doomed, especially with the competition today and this macro.
Their financials are shaky and I would not buy a car today with a high likelihood of not getting parts/service etc. in the near future.
4:42 “whether he was compensated or not, I am not sure but I am not happy with his reviews.” Then you lied on your title, and this reaction actually proves his point and review of the car.
MKBH is a industry veteran in terms of the tech world. He is very critical of all products he reviews. If he got a Ocean that was not up to date, that's not his fault- he also claims Fisker refused to provide him with a vehicle.
Looks like this solely is the burden of fisker, not the reviewer.
Blaming him also for the environment in which the review took place, i.e. weather, dirty car etc is not his problem either. again fisker had an opportunity to provide a vehicle and control the experience.
Elon Musk attacks Rivian and states they are going bankrupt, major media start advising investors not to buy the RIVN Dip, etc.. Fisker can now expect Tesla Fanboys on every video and FSR forum including attack videos. Fisker will still strive. His video could also be an attack on Ocean 1st quarter 2024 sales, reservations numbers of 45,000. Thumbs Up video/ comments. Thanks.
@SilentAlert There was no rookie mistake about the software, if a company sells a vehicle with poor software, the reviewer can only review what they have. The software update didn't come out until after he had reviewed the vehicle…. what was he supposed to do, wait for every software update, before reviewing a vehicle… that is not practical anywhere. This car was on sale since Nov 2023, you'd think they would have had proper software in the vehicles before the review!!!
Let's also put things into context, almost every Fisker Ocean review I have seen, complains about the software. Most reviews of the Fisker Ocean have not been good, let alone great.
Let's put things into context… MKBHD has over 20 Million Subscribers (18m main, 700k Autofocus) and over 8 Billion views, he has been active on Youtube since 2008…. no one has ever suggested that he isn't fair!!!! To suggest that MKBHD is connected to some sort of "Paid" Attack is liable (IMHO). Fisker isn't eating anyone's lunch, so who would pay to attack it? The company had done enough damage to itself, without any help. Let's just be honest and say many Auto reviewers don't like the vehicle. They have their reasons, that is life. You like the vehicle, that is life… we do people have to try and disparage others because they don't like what they said or their reasonings??
If the Stock tanked because of the review, that tells you how much respect he has in the industry.
His heading was click bait because his review was more positive than negative for example it looks good and drives good etc… most of the things he didn’t like were software/function related. Small things

Shut up lol it’s NOT an attack lol stop being a cry baby. You’re to grown to be bitching and complaining about a review of a vehicle.
Click bait………
"unethical" . Wild

It's funny that the very next video in my feed is MKBH ripping Tesla. No one is safe.

Looks like you’re jumping on the wave MKBHD has created, do you drive a Fisker? You probably don’t! Craving his limelight 😂😂

Boy that car is trash shut up
Its clear that there is an atmosphere of not giving Fisker a chance to succeed , we will only be stuck with Tesla in terms of EVs for quite so long

Sounds like someone is over exposed to Fisker stock

Yours was an excellent video, Marquez Brownlee, not so much. Shame on him for being a Tesla shill….
Fisker will be dead within a year
