Is there anyone here with Ioniq 5 who is considering getting Ocean Ultra ?
I currently own Ioniq 5 SE and I have my order locked in for ULTRA. There is a lot to love about Ocean but I see couple of downsides:
- Ioniq 5 Is 800v architecture. I usually spend around 15minutes on Electrify America to charge it to 80% and that's a really good result. With Fisker it seems like it will be twice that closer to 30minutes.
- On my Ioniq 5 SE I have all the basic self driving features that I need which is : Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering with Emergency Breaking. This is the must feature for me. The car pretty much drives itself in traffic or on a highway. Ultra does not have any of that and will probably cost + 5k$ or more
- With my Ioniq 5 SE I had an option to choose the exterior and interior color exactly I wanted for free, and with FISKER the standard exterior color is only WHITE which sucks. There is additional interior color white which looks great but it will be premium.
- With FISKER there are no good looking 20" rims to choose from. The standard 20" included are pretty ugly...so it seems like either an upgrade to 3rd party rims or 22" Fisker ones is a must.
All in all it seems that Having exterior color + interior color + rims + driving features will be at least 10k$ more. So that makes it at least 60k$ car .
I will still wait with my locked in order to see what trade in value I am going to get for IONIQ 5. Hopefully with 7500$ EV tax credit this change won't be as painful.
Technologically speaking I am not that impressed with FISKER's driving features. All that "RADAR" marketing talk is seems pretty standard on Ioniq 5...but let's wait till it comes out.
