I owned the Fisker Ocean. It was a nightmare.
  + stars: | 2024-03-31 | by ( Grace Kay | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Earlier this year, YouTuber Marques Brownlee said the Fisker Ocean was the "worst car I've ever reviewed." I thought the Fisker Ocean was a great option, based on the price and a nice marketing message around the sustainability of the vehicle. I reported the issue to Fisker right away and I struggled to get them to come out and service it. FiskerAt first, Fisker sent out a roadside assistance guy to jump the car and the car wouldn't jump. Regarding the owner's seat-sensor issue, the Fisker spokesperson said the seat sensor was a "routine fix for some early vehicles."

CNN —For sale: A brand new luxury electric SUV for the holy-grail price of $25,000. The California-based electric SUV company Fisker faces a real possibility of bankruptcy, and its stock is hovering just over 2 cents a share, far below its 2021 peak of $28.50. Prices for Fisker’s Ocean SUV have been cut by as much 39%. His video was titled, “This is the Worst Car I’ve Ever Reviewed.”“Do not buy this version of the Fisker Ocean,” reads the video’s description. Fisker has said that problems with early versions of the vehicles’ software caused some of the negative responses.

Joz said people thought the iPhone was huge back then, but now the iPhone 15 has a massive display. Advertisement"Go back and look at the original iPhone," Joz said in the interview. "And now you look at this you know, massive beautiful display and edge to edge, it's just pretty damn sweet, Brian," Joz said, referring to his iPhone 15 (the marketing exec naturally took the opportunity to say the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Max were his top three iPhones). In comparison to the original iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is nearly double its size, with a 6.69-inch screen frame. Later that same year, a factory-sealed 4GB original iPhone fetched $190,372.80 at auction — more than 317 times the original price tag.

CNN —Shares of Fisker, a California-based electric vehicle startup, were halted Monday. Its sole product, the Fisker Ocean electric SUV, was produced in Austria under contract by third-party manufacturer Magna Steyr. Last year, 10,000 SUVs were produced but, in its earnings report, the company said only about half had been delivered to customers. The video was titled, “This is the Worst Car I’ve Ever Reviewed.”“Do not buy this version of the Fisker Ocean,” reads the video’s description. But, besides its own quality issues, Fisker had to deal with much greater competition from established automakers than had existed when the company was established.

AdvertisementAuto expert Sandy Munro took a Tesla Cybertruck on a mini road trip and had one main complaint — the truck can be difficult to maneuver at times. Instead, Tesla has a rearview camera that displays on the truck's massive infotainment system. The auto expert is far from the first to express frustration with backing up in the Cybertruck. "A camera feed constantly runs on the center screen, but I still checked the rearview mirror out of habit every few minutes." "You have to be cognizant all the time that this is a big truck," Munro said of the Cybertruck.

CNN —Electric vehicle company Fisker’s stock plunged more than 40% in after-hours trading on Wednesday as investor concern about the company’s ability to stay in business intensified.

15,000+ Tesla superchargers available for non-Teslas with an adapter starting todayOn the downside: Did you catch it? Many automakers have switched to Tesla's charging technology over the past year. Tesla's charging network is one of its biggest advantages over EV rivals — from faster and more accessible charging stations to more amenities. Non-Tesla EV owners can charge at updated Superchargers that have a Magic Dock adapter. On Thursday, Tesla opened V3 chargers to Ford owners who can use a NACS adapter supplied by Ford, according to Tesla's website.

Wilson created a futuristic airless basketball that's getting all the hype on social media, and the $2,500 price tag didn't stop it from selling out. The limited edition Airless Gen 1 is a 3D printed basketball that allows air to pass through it — unlike a traditional basketball that's pumped with air. Wilson's airless basketball is getting a lot of hype online. The most immediate difference between the Airless Gen 1 and a regular basketball — other than appearance — is the sound. Time will tell if the Airless Gen 1 will become a collectible or the foundation of a new era of basketball.

Elon Musk posted a video of the Tesla robot Optimus appearing to fold a shirt. AdvertisementElon Musk admitted that a video showing Tesla's Optimus robot folding a shirt is "not yet" possible, leaving online observers to wonder how the video was created at all. In a short video posted Monday to X, formerly known as Twitter, the Tesla robot stands at a table, slowly folding a black shirt, seemingly without assistance. Musk simply said of the video, "Optimus folds a shirt." Musk has shared videos of Tesla's Optimus robot in the past performing tasks like yoga stretches, squats and picking up an egg.

Tesla's Cybertruck doesn't have door handles but a button along its window column. Musk first teased that the Cybertruck didn't have door handles over two years ago. Earlier prototypes of the Cybertruck appeared to have a door handle along the side of the car that would pop out similar to the Model S door handles. But Musk announced in 2021 that the vehicle wouldn't have door handles. Tesla owners have complained about the company's high-tech door handles in the past.

Brownlee also said he appreciated the high level of visibility in the truck, which has a massive windshield. "It feels way more nimble in parking lots and it feels like it shrinks the wheelbase, the whole dimensions of the truck," Brownlee said. The Cybertruck doesn't have any door handles — a feature that some new Cybertruck owners appeared to struggle with during the delivery event. Brownlee expressed some concerns about the lack of door handles on the Cybertruck.

The Cybertruck will start at $60,990, tens of thousands more than what Tesla promised in 2019. It was the opposite, horrible launch event, disappointing range, almost abusive pricing considering what was promised," wrote one Tesla fan on Reddit . "For me, this potential purchase was always always about two things, setting aside the design: range & price. The company is offering a "range extender" which it says will bring the Cybertruck closer to its promised range. Prominent tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee also criticized the discrepancy between what Tesla promised in 2019 and what it is offering now.

The Nothing Phone 2 will soon give Android users the option to communicate with Apple's iMessage. It works by asking you to log into your iCloud account through a Mac mini server farm, drawing security concerns. If messaging services are dividing phone users, then we want to break those barriers down. AdvertisementWhile a simple switch from green to blue bubbles might sound trivial, there really is an existing communication barrier for some Android users, especially when most of the people they talk to have iPhones. Business Insider previously spoke to Android users in their 20s who said they had received criticism and mean comments about their phone choice.

The iPhone 15 features a USB-C port instead of the Lightning port which has been standard for more than decade. YouTuber Marques Brownlee says the new port lets the iPhone 15 transfer battery power to older iPhones. iPhone 15 devices can also communicate with each other to figure out which has a lower battery level, he said. AdvertisementAdvertisementInsider also tested this feature by plugging in the iPhone 15 Pro to an iPhone 13 Pro and noticed that the iPhone 15 Pro acted as a power bank and automatically started charging the iPhone 13. When Insider connected the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 15, the two devices performed a handshake to recognize that the iPhone 15 had a much higher battery charge, and the iPhone 15 then started charging the iPhone 15 Pro.

Prominent tech reviewer and YouTuber MKBHD weighed in on the age-old Apple vs. Android debate. This video comes after Instagram head Adam Mosseri reignited the debate by declaring Android better. To figure out your own personal winner, Brownlee suggested viewers give each of the 7 categories a rating from 1 to 5 based on how much they care about it. Then, based on the earlier head-to-head, viewers should add up the scores they gave all of the iPhone-won categories and the scores they gave to the Android-won categories. AdvertisementAdvertisementFollowing this weighted system, Brownlee found his personal winner was Android, which he said he uses as his main device while also using an iPhone.

Tesla began to open some of its exclusive Supercharging stations to other electric vehicles earlier this year. But the cords are designed for Teslas, meaning that owners of some other cars need to use two spaces to plug in. There's just one kink that Elon Musk hasn't ironed out: The charging cables, which were designed for Teslas, aren't long enough to comfortably accommodate some other cars. That poses a problem when other electric cars, which may have their charging ports elsewhere, try to charge up. Tesla owners sometimes experience long lines at charging stations, particularly during popular travel times.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri said Android is "now better" than Apple's iOS. Which is better: iPhone or Android? "Android's now better than iOS," Mosseri posted on Threads in response to tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, aka MKBHD, who had asked for people's best tech "hot takes." Both Android and iOS have been wildly successful since the introduction of the first iPhone and Android phones in 2007 and 2008, respectively. As of the first quarter of 2023, Apple held an estimated 52% US smartphone market share, with Samsung the runner-up with a 27% share.
