I have seen online that Version 2.2 is coming out very soon. It's strongly recommended to keep your vehicle at 80% or higher to avoid issues. I am not sure what will be included at this point in the update, but hopefully it will be top things we have been asking for!

We will see. The SolarSky status was included and vehicle hold for sure in Version 2.0. I believe energy management is better also.

I think you shouldn't have to leave your car at 80% or above for this update. May be above 30% for the next 1 - 2 weeks. It can be difficult for some who are traveling.

But everyone, I recommend you be very cautious about this with the charging for now, due to the update. Definitely try to keep it at 80% or slightly above that when possible. I hope it goes well for all of our vehicles!

I just got update 2.2 tonight.

New features:

Regen on both axles: With regenerative braking available on both axles, vehicle dynamics will be improved (for AWD vehicle only).

External power outlet (US market): The external power adapter can now be connected to the charge port of US vehicles and be used as a power outlet for AC-powered accessories. This feature is also now enabled from the Charging screen on the Central Touchscreen in US vehicles.

Additional exterior lighting activation: During the day and night, additional exterior lighting such as the grille lamp and rear tail lamps are activated along with the daytime running lights. Activated lighting varies per market.

Performance improvements:

Software changes in the brake module to address all diagnostic trouble codes related to the drag torque control and to enhance the vehicle brake system’s ability to adapt to various driving scenarios.

Software changes to remove inner door handle pull and gear change to PARK as triggers which deployed the outer door handles. Deployment will now be triggered when: (1) door is opened/ajar OR (2) door is unlocked by the key fob, smartphone app, or inner door lock switch.

Algorithm changes to better estimate vehicle range based on the remaining state of charge (SoC).

Ocean’s energy management system enhancements during normal operation and OTA updates to better maintain your vehicle battery’s state of charge (SoC) and reduce passive battery drainage.

Climate controls optimization to mitigate fogging at near freezing temperature

Other bug fixes and performance enhancements

Thanks @MTN Ranger , appreciate the detailed explanation!!!

Next big question is if the company is banko, then how, why, and who is doing the updates? If there‘s no money left to pay a team of engineers to do this, then I can’t help but to wonder how this is getting done….. I’m just happy to have a driveable car and working navigation! Someone has to be paying someone….. Next on Unexplained Mysteries 🔦

Also, you note that DRL is supposed to come on….uh.. better? In my car the DRL just have no rhyme or reason to be on. It annoys the crap out of me that they just aren’t always on when I enable them and the headlights aren’t on. The fact that the car has to be in effing PARK to enable them makes me want to go postal. Please tell me this is fixed???

Thanks

I won’t hold my breath.
Almost 3 weeks ago FOA warned us in “2.2 is Coming - How to prepare” that
”2.2 is about to roll out in North America, and we have been given the following steps to prepare our cars. I would recommend that all North American owners take these steps immediately. This is a 3-part update. Each part may come a day or so apart, with full installation taking approximately a week.”
among the steps which are not to be neglected and not something that you want to get used to do every day is:
”DON’T: plug in trickle chargers unless you are leaving for an extended period of time (3 days or more), as they are interfering with the ability of the cars to upload the software.”.
Still only 25 are testing the 2.2 OTA, and why the heck are they testing the OTA when the 12v is charging (hooked up to a charger, shouldn’t the test be without a 12v charger? 🔌…isn’t this OTA for all at anywhere and anytime?)… afraid 😱 of bricking?…test the OTA on the unsold Oceans …
…Unless Fisker is preparing to sell Fisker branded 12v battery 🪫 chargers 🔌 in the Fisker store, …which should be bee free for FOO that …seem to test it all From the start.

“DO: charge your battery to at 80% - this update is a huge battery drain”, OK,
I understand that, but even charging 10%-15% takes hours and as
”DON’T: leave your car on the charger - the uploads cannot happen when your car is plugged in.”
when is the best time to charge so you won’t miss it 😢, AM, PM, EST, PST? …there are also other requirements like no child car seat left in the car….
and as all is a guess, ”surprise“ (that can be good…or bad), if all happens at home 🏠, it’s fine,
but if you are out and about, to
”DON’T: unlock the doors or get in the car if the interior and exterior lights are on or if you hear the vehicle’s “hover” sounds. This means that the car is in the middle of an update, and you don’t want to interrupt it or you can risk bricking your car.
DO: wait about 30 minutes after an update is pushed to make sure it has been completed. After about 30 minutes, do a full reset, and you should be good to go.”,
….remember that these are long updates….you may need to call that you won’t be home for dinner 🍽…
Seems that just luck 🍀 and ….a ”strong” 12v will take us over the 2.2 hump ….will be nice to know how many chances do we have, …if we do have more than one?

In the end, I presume that all these requirements weren’t just made up and have a base….coming from Fisker!?!

I don’t know who is right?, who to trust? ….FOA, Fisker or others?

This is what Fisker states about the 2.2 (Sept.9th) to do:
19. When will my Fisker Ocean receive the OS 2.2 update?
- Updates are typically delivered over-the-air (OTA), and the timing may vary. You will receive a notification when the update is available for your vehicle.”
1. Preparation Before Download

Stable Internet Connection

: Ensure your vehicle is connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network or a strong mobile data connection. Interruptions during download can cause issues in the installation process.
Sufficient Battery Charge
: Make sure your vehicle’s battery has a sufficient charge before beginning the download. It’s ideal to perform the update when your vehicle is plugged in or charging.”
2. During the Download Process
Monitor the Progress

: Pay attention to any notifications or progress updates on your vehicle's infotainment screen. Avoid turning off the car or disconnecting it from the internet during the download.
Avoid Interruptions
: Keep the vehicle parked in a stable environment to avoid movement that might cause any connection disruptions.”
3. During the Installation Process
Follow On-Screen Instructions

: The vehicle’s infotainment system will likely prompt you to start the installation. Follow the instructions carefully, ensuring you agree to any terms and conditions if necessary.
Do not Interrupt the Process
: Once the installation starts, do not switch off the vehicle or use any other features unless explicitly allowed by the system. Interrupting the installation could cause software issues.
Allow Time for Completion
: Be patient, as installation times may vary depending on the size of the OS update and your vehicle's hardware.….…………..
5. Troubleshooting
Error Handling

: If the installation fails or you experience issues, refer to the Fisker user manual for troubleshooting tips.
Contact Fisker Support
: If you encounter a significant issue or experience repeated update failures, contact your nearest Fisker authorized service provider for assistance.

So, who do you trust?…. FOA or Fisker instructions? …am I dreaming?🛌 ….aren’t kind of…opposite?
(one is don’t plug it in…the other keep it plugged in????)
I am going to plug 🔌 it in right now….I hope I don’t have to “Contact Fisker Support”!!!

I have yet to drive my Ocean since the 2.2 update. Here's what I'm seeing.

After installation, I noted that the HV charger remained plugged in, but I went to the car in the morning, and SoC was 252 miles. I had lost over 50 miles of range during the update. Ok, I said: we were warned that it consumes alot, so I had maintained the charge (85% setting) at 304 miles.

I noted that it would not enter a charging state after unplugging and reconnecting the HV charger - saying 'fully charged' at 252 miles - so I removed it; locked the car, and plugged it in again the following morning, at which point it accepted the charge connection and began charging, and achieved full charge of 304 miles. I left it that way.

Next morning (today), I looked at Soc: 252 miles again. It depleted 52 miles of range again, just sitting there, in one day. Unplugging/plugging back in: same problem: "fully charged". I unplugged it and am waiting for deep sleep. I also checked Soc on the 12v battery when I unplugged the HV charger: 12.3v.

Something bad is going on. I don't feel comfortable driving this POS yet.

Question:

Does this thing have to be LOCKED in order to avoid a depletion of over 50 miles of range overnight? Why doesn't this sorry software realize a drain is happening, and reactivate HV charging, if the HV charger remains plugged in?? It hasn't before, but it's always managed to 'sleep' with the HV charger plugged in and the car unlocked in the past. Now, on 2.2, it doesn't seem to - and I'm not sure things will change if I lock it regardless.

This is very irritating. These software devs are clearly not sufficiently competent.

The car needs to be locked whenever it is parked or it never shuts off…. That’s been discussed somewhere on these forums.

So I just went out there and looked: 244 range; 84% SoC. So, because it wasn't 85%, I plugged it in - and it accepted charging.

So, in fact, you're totally correct: the 2.2 update monkeys with the SoC/etc, so I didn't in fact lose 50 miles of range; I lost the previously inaccurate calculation of what 85% SoC looks like (previously 304, which never actually happened in practical application).

Thanks for that.

That leaves two questions:

1. Why did it accept charge the very first time I attempted to charge it when I realized it was at 252 range, and got up to 304 again, only to do the same thing? I presume some glitch.

2. Why is my blue LED not extinguishing fairly shortly after I lock the car and walk away, to enable deep sleep?

I'm going to drive this thing around the circle of my block for quite a while before I feel comfortable taking it out on a drive. I do NOT want to have to tow it again.
