I understand and agree it would be reasonable if all or even most of the content was desireable. However, if all that is needed are the heated front seats that so many other OEMs already include and is frequently standard at this vehicle price point, more than a couple of hundred incremental dollars for the package is wasted.

Did some research to make sure I was setting the right price expectation for myself. Interestingly, it's tough to find a manufacturer that either sells a "cold weather package" as an option without bundling in a bunch of other stuff (I'm looking at you, Ford Mach-E), or just rolls it into the higher end model and doesn't offer it as an option at all. So far, the only standalone option I can find is for a 2022 Camry SE, which includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and heated side mirrors for $1,100. Subaru used to offer it as a standalone option for around $1,200, but seems to have rolled it into their higher end trims. The Mach-E has a "comfort and convenience" package, but it includes a LOT of extra stuff past just heated seats, and I can't find a price since Ford took down their configurator (at least as far as I can find).
I'm realizing as the Fisker Winter Package includes rear heated seats (that I don't need) and remote pre-heat, it's probably going to be closer to the $2K range than the $1-1,500 I'd prefer.

The only thing we need is heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel and wipers . I don't understand why these things aren't already included in the Ultra trim but more than 600-1200.00 is outrageous for a 50k vehicle.

Fair enough. If it is less than $2-3k I certainly won't complain! I assumed that the heat pump will be included in that package but not itemized. Guess we will see in Sept./Oct.
I thought Henrik said in the Bjorn video that the heatpump is standard in all trims.

I did watch that video and think I remember him saying "we have heat pumps". Memory is not the best record so maybe I will go watch it again but I do not think he spelled out that it was standard on all trims. The heat pump is not listed anywhere on the press release so hard to verify anything.

Howdy - Do you know where that interview is located? I'm really hoping that the base Sport has a heat pump for our Canadian winters...

Writing this in the hopes someone at Fisker is watching - Ultra ($50k) is as high as I want to go with price, but I would love to see options for higher end stereo, limo mode (for the kids), and it sounds like Winter package will be available. Depending upon price I would potentially add these, but can’t justify $19,000 for the Extreme.

Me too….I’d like to pay less for all the options! If Fisker is watching, please lower the price on my ONE and Ultra. 🤔😂

I have a 2017 Bolt Premeir ..has heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats , range is good at 260 miles but slow DCFC 50kW. but you get get for less than 30k. I'm looking at getting the Fisker basicaly because of fast DCFC and 30k Mile $379 lease. Thats really hard to beatDid some research to make sure I was setting the right price expectation for myself.

A feature I wish was available is defrost for the side mirrors. We have them on our Chrysler 200, and love it.

I'm seeing heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, heated washer nozzles, wiper defrost, remote climate control, and pre-conditioning. I'd love to know that I'd missed seeing defrosting side mirrors on the list, but I've never noticed it.

I must still be missing something. Post #9 from Feb 2022 (before package details were released) speculates that heated side mirrors would be included. Post #10 replies with doubt that such will be included. Post #42 talks about them being an option in the Camry. ... And that's it in this thread till my post.

The fact that it's not is pathetic. You can pre condidtion a used 2013 chevy volt. What if you live in florida and will NEVER see cold weather? You have to buy the WINTER PACKAGE to COOL DOWN your car remotely? Insane. Ripoff. Scam.
