Get ready for Fisker to contact you about preparing to pre-order your Fisker Ocean One within the next week or two.
Fisker will officially open pre-orders for the Fisker Ocean One on July 1, 2022. At the beginning of May, Fisker said it would begin contacting reservation holders this month to prepare for pre-ordering their Fisker Ocean One. The company has only seven business days left in the month of May. We have not heard from Fisker about pre-ordering our Fisker Ocean One yet.
The exclusive, launch-edition Fisker Ocean One will be the company’s first electric vehicle. Only 5,000 units of the Fisker Ocean One will be produced. This trim will be the most luxurious edition of the Fisker Ocean. The electric vehicle will be fully loaded with all premium features. It will include also include signature features such as Big Blue Sur exterior, MaliBlu interior, 22″ F3 SlipStream wheels, and a commemorative digital signature. Fisker Ocean One will start production in November 2022. Deliveries will happen in the United States and Europe during the same month.

The first 5,000 Fisker Ocean reservations were placed between November 2019 through June 2020. If you placed your reservation between...Read More.
I'm still not sure this is how things are going to work. If the pre-order for the One starts on July 1st, why would Fisker contact you a month before? Do they give you 24 hours to decide? Or sorter or longer? Personally, I'm ready to go for the One, but my ~30k reservation makes it seem very unlikely it gets that far down the list. Stranger things have happened. I was 80th place on line at the local showroom for the Tesla Model 3 in 2016. In early 2018, I was offered the car order, one of the earliest in my state. It ended up that a lot of people were waiting for the $35k version (that eventually arrives much later).

I might be surprised if it got to you at 30k, but I am betting there are a lot of people ahead of you that are looking for Ultra and Sport. I feel like the value is there for whichever trim you choose, but not everyone wants or can afford (I'm the latter) the Extreme.
The chart shows only three drive modes and two for the Sport. However, an email I received from Fisker after I asked a question about something else, says this:
“The Fisker Ocean will have four different drive modes that will have varying levels of regenerative settings to provide a broad range of driving modes that fit your preferences.”
So don’t know if that’s old news or new news or dead wrong, but it came from Fisker.
Or, are these mentioned regeneration levels mean something different than the stated “drive modes” on the chart? I’m REALLY hoping for regen paddles like my Cadillac has, but not holding my breath… one of the top things I love about my current car.

From everything we have seen, there are no regen paddles or buttons on the steering wheel. There is most likely a regen setting in the menu. This is different than the drive mode settings.(Earth/Fun/Snow&Ice/etc). We don't have a full description of all the modes at this point either.The chart shows only three drive modes and two for the Sport.

If you reserved your Fisker Ocean between June 2020 through the end of September 2020 you’re up next. Yes, we are telling you there’s a chance! All other reservation holders will need to wait until 2023.
I don't really agree with that because Fisker will need the pre-order of the Extreme no later than October in order to start the production probably in February. Magna need to plan the chain production, including the sub-contractors.

So quick question. I'm leaning towards the "One" and I might be in that tweener level that gets called to order. Thing is I really don't want to deal with the delicate maintenance of the matte paint color it comes with (Big Sur). If I want the "One"... am I stuck with the matte paint or can I opt out to another color like mariana? Also, besides the matte paint color, the first edition badge and larger wheels....what else differentiates the One from the Extreme?
No one knows for sure. I doubt there will be a different paint option. The 5,000 Fisker Ocean One have been pre-ordered by Fisker with Magna, and there will likely be no variation. Fisker will be able to judge the demand for the most expensive trim level once they go through the first 45,000 reservations and determine who wants to stay with the most expensive trim and who wants to downsize to the mid-level or lower trim level. Then, Fisker will be able to make a subsequent order with Magna. I’m pretty sure Fisker will prioritize the One and the Extreme trims if there are enough people who are willing to pay $19,000 more for the highest trim. So, if out of 45,000 reservation holders, 10,000 are willing to buy the One or the Extreme trim level, the first 10,000 Fisker Oceans manufactured by Magna will be 5,000 Ones and 5,000 Extremes.
So, if you want a different color, I am 99% sure you will be given a choice of color in the Extreme trim, and you may be able to get it before June of next year; perhaps even in April of next year. I think by April of 2023, Magna may be able to make 5,000 Fisker Oceans per month. All 5,000 Fisker Ocean Ones will likely be produced before March 1, 2023.
In the US, only those born in New Jersey and NYC stand on line. The rest of us stand in line. I’m not sure what you guys do in Canada. Queue up?

Haha that's funny. I was actually born and raised in Pennsylvania but live in Toronto now.
Yes, we often get in the queue here, or stand in queue. I still stand in line, but definitely use queue here and there.
Since the start of the pandemic, we have been standing in line here in the US increasingly more.
Can you explain that? I really like that color, don’t know what you mean by delicate maintenance. Are matte colors a headache to looking nice?
Yes, NC. But born in NY.

TLDR: Yes more work.
Personally, I wouldn't get it. I get the front of my cars wrapped with ppf and the glossy ppf will not look consistent. (Even stealth/matte ppf will look different).
