Expected Packages available for Ocean and Timing for Journalist Drives revealed.

Here is the Presentation PDF to save you from having to make a login at Scribd.

Great stuff! Thanks. I'm glad to finally have an idea when to expect road tests.

Well, those are not packages. Those are names of packages. What counts is what's inside and, for example, we still have no info if the Entertainment Package or even standard radio can support SiriusXM.

Those are the packages that will be available. Just because the contents have not been revealed yet doesn’t mean these aren’t the packages that will be available.

I didn't say they wouldn't be. Perhaps my sarcasm about the latest "news" being only the names was a bit subtle.

I think the good news here is that these packages are available as OTA. That means if you buy certain trims you'll have the ability to add this later. Mostly I'm thinking about the Ultra trim, because I believe the Sport may not have the included hardware, but this is me trying to remember without looking to see if Winter package is available on the Sport trim. It may not have everything unlocked, but you could purchase it later. And as they state in the presentation, this allows leased vehicles to be a different car for the second owner. They could choose to buy and use certain features that the first owner did not, or vice versa.

@HotIce
Great to have confirmation of the available OPTIONAL packages!
P.S. Next, what will these various packages include?

Yes, that really is the only part that matters, with price.

I really hope that Henrik gives us a hint during the Investors call.

...and yet we still cannot get confirmation that any audio system, base or otherwise, is compatible with SiriusXM which has been around for a couple of decades.

We can't really get confirmation on anything at this point sadly. A little ridiculous.

For some of these, more than just a little ridiculous at this point. So much about the new Smart Traction, radar, etc., but nothing about the radio? I can compromise about the color plan that I've challenged elsewhere and get a second or third choice exterior that works with the white interior, but if no SiriusXM for my lifetime subscription to transfer to, that's an instant deposit cancelation. I'd like to know sooner rather than later about something so basic so I can know where to focus my plans.

@Sportstick I hope the Ocean has SiriusXM. I was totally surprised Teslas don’t have it. I was actually disappointed.

I share your hope and it's a personal requirement for our household vehicles. 3 SiriusXM lifetime subscriptions here and it's all we ever listen to in any car. However, whatever Tesla does is irrelevant to me...below my lowest threshold for vehicle quality. Next in line for me is the MB EQE SUV. Genesis GV70 EV rear seat package is too small.

In any case, I plan to use my phone for SiriusXM paired by bluetooth like I do now in my Tesla.

I can't find the source of this article.
I really don't trust this, because it means that the car costs more than needed to Fisker.
But we will see.

See the presentation in the second post of this link: Expected Packages available for Ocean and Timing for...

By including all physical options at manufacturing, the process is simpler and thus will save money in the long run. Then owners can select those options at a later date with an OTA update. Tesla does this too.

I believe Ford did this with the Mach-E and the heated seats. Every seat has the wiring for the heat but it's somehow only available if you pay for it. It made the seats cheaper if they were all the same.
