The Jump to 2.5 & 2.6: My Ocean Has CarPlay!
If you had told me a year ago that my Fisker Ocean would feel like a brand-new car in 2026, I would have laughed you out of the driveway. We’ve all been through the "software doldrums," but thanks to the OV Loop lifeline and the leap to OS 2.5 and...

What I Love About the Fisker Ocean
It's June, and that can mean only one thing: Vegas! Yes, it's time for my annual birthday trip to Vegas for some rest, relaxation and Tequila! But it's also time for me to reflect on one of the weirdest experiments I've ever taken on: the Fisker Ocean. It's been 9...
