    I was (kinda) in the market for a Fisker Ocean at one point (good thing I didn't actually pull the trigger), and so came upon this meetup vid in NC. The funny thing was the bright red 3rd gen Prius that was plonked right in front of the meeting lot :D

    It was such a bright red splash of color that you could not help but notice it sitting pretty in the midst of all the dark blues and bright blues of the CUVs next to it, and it was on display several times in the long vid.

    Yep this is my state where I live. Won't be pulling any plugs until solid state batteries are running the show for the most part and things are happening right now things are not happening except people are spending lots of cash to do a lot of nothing $1,000 door handles and waiting weeks to get service and blah blah blah I wouldn't have any part of it I would laugh these people out of my state all the way back to the fisker Ocean they came from no way not ready for prime time yet these are toys for people with some disposable income which I don't know who that is at this point in time I don't know if people are taking extra jobs so they can have this income or what they're doing because just being able to get off gasoline or oil You guys make it sound like this is worth $30,000 a year not unless you're living in your car.

    Yes I've been looking at those since they've been released and they'll just keep getting better so I guess no reason to rush I might not even make it to that electric business.

    I would not get a Fisker at this point.

    The company might go bankrupt and the car is filled with software problems (including the fob not working), and the original owners were screwed when the company slashed prices of the cars by up to 50% because of its financial difficulties.

    .



    Anyways, It was just funny to see the red Prius so bright and noticeable among the many dark colored Fiskers

    Marques, although says he's not responsible for the dismay, hit it hard with its review of the Ocean



    Followed by his review of the 2.0 software update

    Yeah, I've seen that. It was a weird review. Said he liked lots, but then in the end gave it a big thumbs down.

    I keep wondering whether anyone wanted to get the Prius towed out so it doesn't hog the spotlight with its red awesome bod lol

    At the end credits area, the Prius was on screen for literally more than 2 minutes.

    Sub forums are just a suggestion, like the millennial parents were taught, if it feels good do it.
