I just saw the email and we are in Delaware, but retired with lot's of travel points because we haven't traveled in close to 3 years. So I said to my wife let's go!.....The answer was maybe.

I had a quick thought of going. I haven't been out west since the 80s. I'm not sure what city Henrik lives in, but hopefully he'll make an appearance. Please take photos if you do go.

I think he's in Manhattan beach not far at all.

Ill have to talk to the wife see if she wants to go and look at the Ocean. However, it is a 3hr drive from San Diego lol.

We need someone close to please go.
The more eyes and hands we get on the Ocean, the better for us all.
As Fisker is a different type of auto company, and we can't just waltz over to a dealer and see one, the more intel we get the better.
Pictures, Pictures, Intelligence Reports, all needed

Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please Please😃

3 hr drive? My wife does that every Friday just to be the Granny Nanny.

We are in L.A. and convinced my wife to go up for the day and registered for the event. I have seen Henrik at the L.A. Auto Show on multiple occasions (last year for the Ocean and back when he was promoting the Karma) so would not be surprised if he does show up. From the email - "Fisker Ocean Reservation holders: talk to our Fisker team members for special access to the Fisker Ocean on display at the show" so will make sure to get the special access.

I’m in San Francisco and debating if I should make the trek there to see the Ocean in person now or wait until the Experience center opens in LA. I have 2 toddlers in tow.

Yes, I'm going.

Please take some photos. Obviously the boss won't be there unfortunately, unless he takes a redeye from Austria.

A couple of my questions answered (although I'm not sure how knowledgeable the staff was). Keep in mind that this is still a prototype of the One.

• Ground clearance measured with tape measure appears to be around 8in. for the One, however, this being a prototype I am not sure how accurate that is.
• Lift gate and the (tiny) dog windows can be opened is the Sports version (just not all at once)
• The panoramic top is gorgeous - there is no roll bar like in the Bz4x. I would have loved to see an internal pull-out cover for it but I guess an after-market ceramic film could be a compromise.
• Front seats are amazingly comfortable. They almost feel like air cushioned and have great lumbar and neck support. The blue interior is like suede, medium blue, very nice. I was unable to sit in the back, but it seems pretty roomy.
• The dashboard display is pretty small and smack dab behind the wheel for me. I would have a hard time seeing it in this position. I was unable to adjust the steering wheel in this prototype, but this is definitely something I need to check out.
• The trunk is a good size. I couldn't put the seats down, but there appears to be plenty of space at least for my purposes. The ability to lower the lift gate is a huge plus for transporting something like wood planks. I have never understood why these aren't used in more SUVs.
• The car has a beefy and large appearance overall, very sporty. The matte paint looks nice, but the staff had a hard time polishing it. I would not want to own one, living close to the freeway. Total dust magnet. Definitely not for OCD types.
• The 22" Bridgestone tires are very large. I think I would be happier with the 20" and get better ride ride quality, but that's just me.
• I was surprised that the front felt a little tight (I am 5.7, 150 lbs). It's not that I didn't have enough room; I just felt it was smaller than anticipated considering how big the car appears on the outside. Large, heavy drivers may feel a bit claustrophobic. Plenty of headspace for me.
• I was told that i would be able to upgrade the Sport to a different interior than black, but again, i did not get the impression that the ladies at the event were necessarily "in the know"....

All in all, a very impressive car that did not disappoint.

Thanks for the info and photos. Regarding the small display, it's interesting that the video of Henrik driving has a larger display, although it looks very much like a prototype (

). It's going to be a loooonnnnngggg wait for the Ocean to be released.

@sbmica, thanks so much for taking the time to record your impressions and post some great pictures that I have not seen before. I have to agree the panoramic sunroof is awesome. I'm gonna love it.

Can anyone tell me if that is the sea salt interior? It looks blue and grey not white to me.
