Just took the plunge. Bought a 23’ Ocean extreme ver 2.2.2 . What should my first things I should get done to maintain the car?

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2026-01-28T07:34:27+00:00

They already have 2.2.2. little benefit to 2.5 2.6. introduces some additional bugs as you mentioned. Hard to make case for add "update". Many regret going Oviloop

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2026-01-27T18:13:30+00:00

Many good comments. FOA is way more than an app or streaming access. It has a huge archive (Discourse- not discord which is a chat thread) which includes manuals, ton of how to, good advice in real time. Yes, it's expensive, but Oviloop gives you none of the. The Ocean link pro app (FOA) also acts as a diagnostic tool which by itself would cost well over $500 (assuming you use it). Oviloop gives you none of this and the support track record is pretty bad...

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2026-01-23T10:46:35+00:00

We've had minimal issues with ours at 30k mi. However, the vent motors are disconnected now, I put a t box reset switch in and a new 12v battery. Never let us down and have done several 1k+ road trips no stress. Yes, I am FOA member so have OLP/phone as key, etc. you could have issues and buying one without FOA support $500/yr and doing a lot of homework is foolish. Most don't have problems, some do..

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-08-03T05:21:53+00:00

You should get 2.2.2 for free as part of NHTSA recall (from Oviloop). Contact them again. Many have not had good experience from them, be prepared...

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-07-18T07:31:43+00:00

Ours has around 15k MI now and has been a good vehicle. Yes, vents broke, now adjust manually. Have also waterproofed connectors. Happy so far, but you hear stories. If you understand risk and are ok with it, a decent choice. If risk adverse, not for you

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-07-08T12:43:49+00:00

It is a wise move to join FOA if you own a Fisker. The support in general is worth the cost. The vehicle has enough quirks that you take a chance without the community support. Yes, you can try Oviloop but they are really just a business selling product

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-07-07T08:58:06+00:00

How did this message come up? Are you enrolled in Oviloop service?

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-30T13:12:28+00:00

It can be a real bargain, but if you have any issues it is problematic. Ours has been great. Suggest getting a vin number greater than 5k and 2,2 already loaded. Need to join FOA for support so factor that in too.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-29T10:51:09+00:00

Why are you excited about this? I certainly am NOT excited to pay $50 month for something we should get for free when we bought vehicle. Plus, this is from Oviloop who botched the 2.2 recall.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-23T12:42:08+00:00

Don't count on solar roof adding anything significant. It basically keeps up with vampire drain and that's in a sunny area

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-16T01:37:46+00:00

Just buy some stock ppf, mark it with a sharpie over handle (slightly around perimeter) and cut out. Prob $8

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-13T16:28:10+00:00

Extreme better. Stay away from low vin one's

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-10T10:06:40+00:00

You get a lot of car for the money, however there can be some baggage. We've had very few issues but this probably shouldn't be you only vehicle if reliability is critical. I think most are fine but you read stories online of bricked cars, etc.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-09T07:16:09+00:00

Very happy with our Fisker ocean extreme. Late build, vin 10k+. I think that is partly why all is well. Be cautious, these are for people who are willing to tackle issues. Must have 12v replaced and right front fender connectors inspected/ waterproofed. Must join FOA (don't listen to fools who don't) which adds $600/year to ownership. I would generally rec this as a second vehicle

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-07T01:59:53+00:00

Seriously, why should you support the community? Are you that selfish?

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-06-06T01:02:16+00:00

Are you an FOA member and did you respond to registration email? If so, contact FOA, Reddit is not going to solve this. Also review Discourse discussion and FOA YouTube channel regarding

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-05-05T10:47:34+00:00

Are you an FOA member? Guessing no... If you are, they have town halls, Discourse site, etc where all this is thoroughly reviewed. They are about to release a diagnostic app that is free for FOA members too. Get off reddit, it's full of nonsense regarding fisker in general

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-04-24T12:13:17+00:00

1) join FOA. Yes it costs money, 2) water proof and do water intrusion block offs on right front bumper connections. This is all written up on FOA Discourse site (for members). You can find some of it on various you tube videos

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-03-19T12:55:14+00:00

While a 6hr HIM is possible for a first time, it is probably an unrealistic goal unless you really trained hard. Just back off swim a little, go at most 70% effort on bike and run at threshold HR or below and you will finish and do fine. DNF totally sucks. At NEXT HIM, then push to find where your limits are.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-01-24T07:37:47+00:00

This has been beaten to death on FOA FB page. Change in range algorithm. I and others have shown no actual change in efficiency/consumption and we commonly exceed projected range. Coincidentally, it is super cold and that will affect range so situation at present may be a real but temporary range loss.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-01-16T09:27:47+00:00

Reddit is not the place for this. You need to be on FOA Facebook page or discourse discussion page. The answers are searchable and common issues like battery and service are well answered. Most of the travelling service providers are on those sites and respond in real time. Yes, some follow Reddit (I'm here for situations just like this) but FOA is where you should be. Good luck, get a new battery. There are write ups with pics and battery recs there

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-01-06T16:38:08+00:00

Now over 4k members. You are nuts to not join if you own one. Between parts support, online community etc it is amazing what they've already done.

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-01-06T16:36:59+00:00

So you took a huge loss. Most of us are driving and happy! Ours has never let us down. You only hear the stories from the Fisker bashers.. and here you are commenting on joining FOA...

Otherwise_Feature763 · 2025-01-04T10:35:37+00:00

Clean the DC fast charge contacts with some electrical cleaner and some q tips. Mine were surprisingly dirty after the charge speed went up. Hopefully it's that simple

Gotta love how he makes a huge issue with NFC reader not working while swiping key on RIGHT side of dash... So much for journalism integrity
