Well, I have learned this morning that the "fully refundable" reservation fee is not actually fully refundable. There is a $25 "processing fee" if you cancel. Super annoying.

Not sure I understand your point about the price of the car. I put in a refundable deposit, then cancelled the reservation and discovered that there was a $25 fee. Unusual and annoying. It does not break the bank, but other manufacturers refund 100% of your deposit, not 90% of your deposit.It is not very expensive for a car at $37,999
It does state this. Not sure why it's a surprise. Did you decide to go with a different EV?Not sure I understand your point about the price of the car.

I must have missed it.It does state this. Not sure why it's a surprise. Did you decide to go with a different EV?
Before you depart, did you find exact seat up/down cargo area specs or just eyeballing it? I asked Fisker and they wouldn’t release that info.Fair enough. The administrative fee was indeed in the fine print and I missed it. I have not encountered that before but ¯\(ツ)/¯
On the plus side, the refund was issued immediately after clicking the cancel button, so I very much appreciated the very quick response.
The data I could find (posted somewhere else here on the forum) is 20 cubic feet with the rear shelf (floor) and 25 cubic feet including the storage compartment under the floor. Total of 45 cubic feet with seats down. 2022 Fisker Ocean EV: Additional Features, Dimensions, and Images Revealed Model Y has 68 cubic feet with seats down but a meaningful chunk of that is under the floor and in the frunk (still not awesome for me).Before you depart, did you find exact seat up/down cargo area specs or just eyeballing it?

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the dimensions is 188 nowThe data I could find (posted somewhere else here on the forum) is 20 cubic feet with the rear shelf (floor) and 25 cubic feet including the storage compartment under the floor.

That is consistent with the photos and also consistent with the overall dimensions (which have been published) of 182.7 vs 187 for the Y and Ocean is slightly shorter and narrower so the Motortrend data hangs together. But this is not really about the Model Y for me. The Blazer is 191" with "real" 65 cubic ft of storage (not including frunk and under floor) and the EV should have better interior space and the RIvian is a monster 18" longer with loads of cargo space. A Model Y/Blazer is sort of my minimum to lug boxes and gear. I wish Heinrick would have added a few inches to the rear. At 187 or 188" it would have enough room for me. I am leaning toward the Blazer, but the Rivian is just so freaking awesome. And at $75k for the Adventure Edition vs $69k for the Ocean it is just a better fit for me.
When I signed up it was stated clearly.Well, I have learned this morning that the "fully refundable" reservation fee is not actually fully refundable. There is a $25 "processing fee" if you cancel. Super annoying.
You're right. It's 188inches now. The original prototype in 2020 was 182. Who's to say where they distributed the 6in.Maybe I'm wrong but I think the dimensions is 188 now
If you want an EV with ROOM and not a truck-- head over to the website for Vin Fast and look at the 'station wagon' of 2022!The data I could find (posted somewhere else here on the forum) is 20 cubic feet with the rear shelf (floor) and 25 cubic feet including the storage compartment under the floor.

Interesting Vietnamese company. I'm not sold on the lease-only battery pack deal. The cars seem really expensive for not including the battery (VF9 starts at $56k) and is kind of slow (0-60 6.5 sec). Well I guess we will see what happens when they supposedly launch at the end of the year.If you want an EV with ROOM and not a truck-- head over to the website for Vin Fast and look at the 'station wagon' of 2022!
I saw VinFast at the L.A. Auto Show, the car looks pretty good in person (and I actually have a reservation on it). I had an internship with Pininfarina so am biased to any products designed by them (although most are out of my price range so not really an issue).Interesting Vietnamese company.

I've pretty much gotten used to my Model 3 after almost four years. A HUD would be great. Our Volvo has a HUD and surround view - both are things I would really like in Tesla - but they will not do. I'm still trying to decide if I keep the Model 3 if I go with the Ocean or sell off my old Nissan.My biggest turn off for the VinFast is the lack of binnacle/dashboard and only the center screen. It is my biggest issue with the Model 3 and the main reason I am looking for a replacement - I thought I could get use to not having a binnacle but growing to detest it more as time goes on. The VinFast looks like it may have HUD which would compensate for not having a binnacle.
Rivian realized that and reversed course today. A good lesson for all OEMs.I think what would be more annoying is having a deposit on an EV for sometime only to find out they raised the total price on you by 17% (hello Rivian).
