Fisker Ocean Is Still The Worst Car YouTuber MKBHD Has Ever Reviewed

Just a few weeks after calling the Fisker Ocean “the worst car I’ve ever tested,” popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee gave the Ocean a second chance. Despite promised software updates and an official press car to review, however, Brownlee hasn’t changed his position: the Ocean remains the worst car he’s ever reviewed.

Much like the state of Fisker itself, Brownlee’s initial review of the Ocean was a mess. It all started when Brownlee got a used Ocean from a local Mitsubishi dealer because Fisker kept delaying delivery of a press vehicle. Once he got his hands on the Ocean, it was clear why corporate was giving him the runaround; Brownlee encountered elements of the car that didn’t feel complete. There was no way to know how much energy the solar roof had captured for instance. There were also weird design quirks, like random blank buttons.

When Brownlee’s review dropped, Fisker PR called the Mitsubishi dealer to insist that the company could fix the problems Brownlee experienced with a software update. The Fisker Ocean can’t receive over the air updates, however, so a tech from the company needed to come out to fix the car. Even if Brownlee’s Ocean had the software updates, however, it looks as if that wouldn’t have made a difference.
