“This is the Worst Car I’ve Ever Reviewed”

As we advance into the future, there are a lot of companies out there vying to be the pioneer to change their respective landscape. Yet, amid these strides, there are instances where progress falters, leading to missteps, particularly when the path forward is unclear. Occasionally, these missteps loom large, especially when they occur in fundamental aspects of a product, demanding our attention.

Enter the Fisker Ocean. Popular automotive YouTube reviewer Marques Brownlee, on his “Auto Focus” channel, bluntly declares the model as “the worst car [he’s] ever reviewed.”

Initially, Brownlee’s headline appears peculiar as he begins by highlighting several commendable aspects of the vehicle. He acknowledges its innovative features, such as solar panels for charging, and praises its plush, feature-rich interior, even touting it as offering the best backseat experience among all electric vehicles in this class.

However, the tone shifts dramatically as Brownlee delves deeper into his review, ultimately concluding that he initially attempted to classify the car as “weird” or “quirky,” only to realize it was, in fact, just the worst.

To its credit, the Fisker Ocean does exhibit decent driving performance and fulfills basic car functions adequately. Nevertheless, its shortcomings in software are baffling, coupled with peculiar features like an airplane tray that consumes significant center console space and the absence of a glove box. These quirks quickly transform from endearing to exhausting.

Brownlee notes critical features such as Bluetooth and driver assistance systems fail to operate as expected. While Fisker has promised a forthcoming software update to address some of these concerns, the current outlook for the Ocean appears bleak.

While Fisker’s Ocean may have potential, its current state seems to leave much to be desired. Despite promising features, flaws demonstrated in this review seem to undermine the overall experience, raising doubts about its viability in the competitive automotive market. Only time will tell if Fisker can overcome these issues and steer the Ocean toward success.
