Fisker Ocean Awarded 5-Star Rating, Crash Testing Completed
"The results will be published by NHTSA and IIHS later this year. However, Fisker did share some information on the testing saying, “schhh 5 star”, meaning that the Fisker Ocean received a 5-star overall safety rating. This is the highest rating that can be achieved in any crash category."

This makes me (I don't want to speak for all of us 🤐) happy, even if it's unofficial.

It is a very good news, it mean that they will not have to resolve any problems on that matter and go ahead with the production line. It's look that they could start earlier if all the parts arrive in time.

This is very good and encouraging news. Now, we hope to see an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ which is the "gold standard" for impact testing.

IIHS Top Safety + has more than just impact testing involved. Lighting is definitely involved and I think braking systems as well. I'm sure the Google could clear that up.

Yes, headlights are definitely a factor. There have been vehicles that missed the + just because their headlights weren't good enough. In some cases companies upgraded them and their safety scores improved. Also, there's now a more difficult side test. Search

Nothing to clear up as you have it right. However, the factors for the "+" are relatively easy to achieve if made a program objective, especially for a program with such advancements as their ADAS and Smart Traction electronics. The structural requirements for crash management for IIHS, which are more stringent than for NHTSA NCAP, are the larger challenge to getting a top Safety Pick status.

@baydreamer FYI, we reported that first publishing at 10am, and that EV reporter from Street Insider blatantly ripped off word for word most of the article on our site. Sad!

I was wondering where they got their info.

 

[Fiskerati]

@baydreamer I would have published the article here, but I was told to not post links that take people off the site. That means, if people want to share Fiskerati article links here they will need to post them instead of me.

 

[Fiskerati]

@baydreamer Corrected!

Oh look, the link to his article changed! I wonder how that happened?

@HotIce While I know this is a hobby for me, I wrote them and they added a reference. Oh, vey! 😉

I wonder if the Ocean is at least engineered with similar structural pieces as a Model Y/3. These tests will hopefully give the best indication. I wish there was any other way to compare them but perhaps this is good enough. I know Tesla has had excellent injury protection when they do crash. No way to know that with the Ocean till they accumulate miles (and have any accident history). I'd at least love to know whether they have similar design, componentry, engineering to protect as well (and of course to avoid the accidents altogether). Anxiously awaiting the November test release date. Same goes for Rivian.

Crash testing likely going to take awhile ... Rivian is finally scheduled to get tested at IIHS and still does not have a NHTSA rating! The agencies make their own decisions on what to test and when so this could be awhile. They tend to prioritize vehicles they think will have a higher volume sales and they often never test lower-volume vehicles (like the Taycan).

Worth noting that it took 14 months from the time that Tesla delivered its first Model 3s (July 2017) until NHTSA released crash test results (Sept 2018).

Rivian R1T arrives at IIHS Vehicle Research Center for crash tests

As noted by the IIHS in its post, the actual testing of the R1T units would be starting sometime next week.
