Hey Adam, it's been quite a ride. I got my Fisker about a week after you took delivery of yours and today (Memorial Day) I traded it (an Ultra) for a Blazer EV RS. They gave me $28,000 for the Fisker with no fuss and the Blazer had a $4,200 discount plus an Ultiam Promise Bonus cash of $7,500 bringing the cost down to $42,895 plus tax, license, etc versus the $53,000 for the Fisker.
It was harder to get the On Star Ap. to work than it was to buy the car even with the sales lady's help and having to call On Star and go through multiple agents and repetitive steps to get it to work.
The dealer said he would ship the Fisker to Orange County, CA rather than mess with it here in Paso Robles, CA.
Congrats! The Blazer is an awesome choice, and it sounds like you got a great deal. I also had a very hard time setting up OnStar. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I absolutely love your videos.
You are clearly fair to every brand out there and state the facts.
I'm from Norway and I own 2 EV's.
One is a Peugeot e-2008 and the other one is Maxus euniq6.
Yeah that Maxus is from China and I absolutely love it.
Looking forward to more videos from you.🥳
Thanks for your feedback!
I think getting the Prologue over the Blazer EV was the right choice. Having more options for infotainment is always the way to go. And to be honest, I give the Prologue better styling points over the RS and base trim Blazer. Although, the Blazer makes a comeback with the SS styling, which isn't available at the time of this video.
I also think the SS will be better looking, and obviously have more personality and performance. But the Prologue has CarPlay and is a good looking SUV, even among the ICE competitors. Excellent feedback!
Great video. I am curious how knowledgeable the Honda techs are on this vehicle.
FYI Honda is also building a battery plant and planning to make EVs in Ontario Canada. I am hopeful about their future products. I had a 2009 Civic Hybrid that was problem free. A friend’s kids are still driving it to this day with the original battery pack.
I heard about the Canada plant too! I’ll report on it in an upcoming video. Thanks for watching!
Great video and great insight. How does the Prologue compare with the EV6? The Honda looks like a great option, but I do like some adrenaline when driving.
It’s a wonderful driving experience. Not much in the adrenaline department. The EV6 feels much more peppy
This video is like a bitter breakup song with Fisker. It’s a good video and I enjoyed the cathartic jabs at the ocean. I test drove a Blazer EV and it was all around okay. The only real bad feature was the back seat where you can feel the plastic on your lower back. I’d recommend everyone give the back seat a try. I was concerned about the horsepower but it seemed adequate, although I do wonder about passing while going uphill. I think of the Ultium group, if you aren’t trying to trade in a Fisker, the slightly smaller Equinox EV might be the way to go.
Thanks for the feedback. Have you ever seen an equinox for sale in person?
@@Aslash304 No, but when I went to test drive the Blazer the saleskid (spent most of the drive on his phone, fine with me really) said they’d be getting an Equinox in this week. I’m seeing people posting their purchases in Reddit now so I know some people are buying. I’m probably going for the 2025 Ioniq5 refresh, but since that’s not going to happen for a while I’m still checking out the options
I'm curious about the Google navigation and how well it manages longer trips. In my Polestar it does a generally good job, but they do appear to be missing some stations and labels others incorrectly as non-compatiable. Also, it really overestimates consumption. I aim to get to a charger with around 10% and it invariably gets me there with at least 10% more than that.
I took a short trip today, and I noticed the overconsumption bit. I will address this in an upcoming video. Thank you so much for your feedback!
Would you think a pre-owned 2022 BMW IX50 would have been a better purchase if you had the OCEAN EXTREME/ONE? I'm considering it but HONDA seems a step down from the extreme in terms of performance. Of course the software seems WAAYYYYY better on Honda.
BMW iX is a great vehicle, but still around $70k used. If you need 550 horsepower to get around, the Prologue won’t do it.
If the Prologue is just a re-skinned Blazer, why not get the Blazer?
Nevermind, I just got to that point in the video.
Great question.
For some it will be having CarPlay. Others the styling. Lots of people will see Honda and think it’s a Honda. I like the screens a lot better on the Blazer but the I like the boring but pleasingly normal styling on the outside of the Prologue better. Maybe they’ll like the exciting name. “What will we call it? How about “Prologue” because this what we’re doing before we actually make an electric car. Fine, whatever. Who cares.”
Trade into for one 😂. Why trade in the Tesla? For a Honda?😂
Someone didn’t watch the video
1k a month to drive a honda........ wow inflation is real...... Never
It’s much more complex than that. But I understand
I appreciate the transparency of your EV journey. 👏🏽
Thanks for watching!
The Prologue will be a one-off vehicle as Honda will start building their own models minus GM.
Correct.
Like the 90s Honda Passport which was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo, until Honda felt SUVs had a use case.
At least it wasn't built by Toyota with their lackluster engineering regarding EVs. I poo-poo the price and build but you convince me they made a good decision for the time being.
It’s all about timing.

Thanks for watching
The ev6 gets way more range than that. Mine gets up to 350. My id4 averages 275 miles.
None of those ranges are accurate. I’ll never get EPA range for any EV because of where I live. The EPA range ratings are just a way to compare one to the other.
@@Aslash304 gotcha
Is it possible you'd come out ahead financially had you kept the Ocean? Isn't your Ocean the core of your content and viewer interest?
Yes. If nothing ever happened to the car, and I could continue to be guaranteed to get service, and my 12v didn’t die, making the car undrivable until a service tech recalibrated it, and I consistently had extensive and massively impactful news to break regarding the vehicle specifically, then yes. Right now, I can continue to report on the company without the risk of losing everything on the car. And, frankly, I was so embarrassed to drive it that I would eventually lose motivation to repot on it. There will be folks that leave the channel because they are Ocean owners specifically looking for information on the car, not the company. But, if I consistently report on the newest available EV to own, the audience should be broader than just Ocean Owners who require their reporting to be done by a current, not past owner. Then again, it could all come crashing down, and I would be forced to go back to detailing more cars.
The Honda is a great choice! It’s luxurious, reliable, and is a tried and true brand. It has way better features and technology than the Ocean, that’s for sure. Love your videos, Adam! Great job! Keep them coming!
I'm here for the drama. If Fisker wasn't on the brink of going under, there wouldn't be as much interest. That old saying, "If it bleeds, it leads."
@@Aslash304 Thats fair, I'm not an owner looking for information its just.. you can't look away from a train wreck and you had yourself a nice little train wreck
Had a deposit down on a Pear. Now I have to downshift. Pun intended. I'm waiting to see the price on the KIA 3.
Me too. I want to smack Fisker Mgmt for F everything up. I like the Rivian R3x and EV3 so far. Maybe Chevy Equinox EV.
The EV3 isn’t scheduled to be released in the US currently. I hope they release it in 2025.
@@EM.1. you have to be smart enough to hire people who know what you don't. And humble enough to let them do it. Henrik is neither.
@@Aslash304 I've read it is coming. According to Car and Driver. The Ev5 is not currently scheduled here.
