This was awesome to see! Thank you so much! Makes me feel better if I can't put on snow tires that I should be good on snow with the correct amount of tread.
You are very welcome. Snow tires would turn it into a beast, but from what I experienced there simply switching to Fun with all season tires would be sufficient for most instances.
But not even close on ice. I just spent 2 1/2 days in Portland OR in an ice storm and my FOO was like a luge. Nearly sharded myself driving to work (i’m in healthcare so i had to be out) friday morning as this thing would let loose on the ice - especially if regen was set medium or high. Recommend, keep it in Earth and low regen on icy roads, Fun and low regen on snow- and drive slow! AWD does not mean shit on ice or when trying to slow down on descents.
👏🏽👏🏽 Brilliant team by you & your young camera assistant ... 🧊 " Dad, can we get back inside " Hahahahaha The Fisker has just arrived in England, so I'm very interested, in your videos & ours too come... Thank you and Daughter
Great to know. Thanks for sharing! I dunno if I would’ve thought to switch modes if stuck.

The upcoming addition of “Smart Traction” will I hope improve its off road ability, as I’m assuming it will be smarter about power distribution rather than just cutting it off at the slightest sign of wheel spin. Plus when the e-Force package is released I hope we all get an Off Road Mode added to the software that allows for smooth control to all 4 wheels and allows some slippage and torque vectoring. Ideally they would implement an e-LSD, using the friction brakes to grab a spinning wheel and force power to the other side - having that on both axles would almost give it independent speed control over all 4 wheels. Even just the ability to turn the traction control off would help in the meantime. When I took mine on slippery mud I was frustrated by the fact it could be great, but right now is hampered by a dumb traction control system.
IMO They should have "Earth mode 4 wheel drive" because you don't really want it to be more punchy in winter just have the 4 wheels. Maybe it will come in the future.
Earth Mode is all about efficiency so I can see why they have it this way. They could do the software where it could kick in the rear wheels with tire spin but a simple press does the trick by activating Fun Mode
Funny thing is, we got the Mazda right before the Ocean. I though it was AWESOME until we started driving the Ocean. Now, it feels like a time warp of at least a decade every time I drive it. The Ocean makes it feel so old.
It should just switch automatically to Allwheel drive when there is not enough traction on the front, like all cars i know do, in all settings. Shourely, most of the time it will be no problem as you can switch before you get where it is slippery, but if you don't know and accelerating on another road and it just slips it's not convenient to have to tab some buttons
That is indeed the noise it makes when backing up. Its an artificial noise to warn people. EVs are required to make noise now at slow speeds. It reminds me of the Millennium Falcon gearing up for hyperspace 😆
@@Goldenwings81 Yes, anyone interested in an EV should have the Ocean at the top of their list. It's fast, fun, cool, looks fantastic, and just keeps getting better. If you watch most of my videos I am very honest about my experiences ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm considering to buy an Ev car, first wanted Nissan Ariya or Tesla Model Y, but this car looks amazing and have more range 4x4 drive. Fits for winter driving also...
Nice job, but I am dismayed that you left the Mazda running for so long. There is no good reason to waste gasoline and pollute our air. Even in the coldest weather, you should warm up any car no more than 15 or 20 seconds before driving, slowly at first.
Your daughter did very good job with the camera
She was really patient.
Great looking SUV!

Fisker ocean is such a beauty. Congrats!
Great test. It hasn't snowed in my area in a couple years. So it's probably a good thing since nobody knows how to drive in the snow around here!
Thanks for your videos and input for us who hesitate to buy Fisker Ocean..
Great video!! Have not heard snow crunching in a while too.
Great video! Fisker Ocean is 1000 lbs heavier than Tesla model Y and doing an amazing job in the snow.
Yes, it did great. With snow tires it would be a beast
Nearing 10,000 Views..Just need 1,000 Likes to match... Thumbs UP .. thanks for the team effort demo Ocean Video.
Great test! Seems you can get away without winter tires in Fun Mode in the Ocean.

It sounds like a Zamboni backing out. They should have a ‘Zamboni Mode.’
😆
Wow, that was great test

That's awesome 😎. If you have any questions, just ask.
Super helpful. Thanks for sharing.
The ocean in the snow,,,, hahahaha.... the non-juxtaposition ....

Are these free updates Jose ❓Thank you

This!! 100x this! Fun and Hyper are too fast for low traction situations whereas the acceleration lag in Earth is ideal to minimize spin.
Ha ha I just reached the Mazda spot, the Mazda is like a battle tank comparing to the Fisker, Mazda looks old tired and smoking 😅😅😅😅

Excellent video and informative series. Curious where you got that Fisker sign in your garage. Would love to have one of those.
I found it on eBay. I am in the United States. It came from Europe.
Do a burnout!!! Canadian bacon style
😆✅
RTFM, earth is 2wd, fun is 4wd, hyper (you have a one) is 4wd full power
Is this supposed to be a question or a comment? Because it does make any sense either way.
This should be advertise earth mode is not for snow but fun and hyper mode is
Earth Mode would do very well in winter with winter tires.

nice test bob...whats the noise in reverse? or is it background noice?

Sounds like rattle snakes.

what is the name of that color on the car?

So should we buy a fisker Ocean? 😁
Only you can decide that.
@@Ocean1_FSRok, but since you already have one, so I wondered if you recommend this car?

Anyone else feel scared for the dog? Why would you have your pupper off leash near your car when you clearly have no idea how the car will perform??🙄
Smart dogs don't chase vehicles, and can cross a street, not so smart animals just the opposite... obviously he has a smart dog
