In this episode of Ocean Currents, Bill Spohn and Andrew Bock dive into a wide-ranging update for Fisker Ocean owners, covering everything from personal mishaps (like Bill’s run-in with his hood) to broader industry developments. Andrew shares his month-long absence from the Ocean while his vehicle sits in the shop, allowing him to test-drive several EV competitors like the Mustang Mach-E, Kia EV6, and BMW i4. Despite some impressive features, he longs for the Ocean's unique feel and driving experience.

A major focus of the conversation is Chase's recent wave of settlement offers tied to Fisker Finance loans. Andrew and Bill unpack the confusing math and emotional weight behind these decisions, emphasizing that each owner's choice will vary depending on their financial position and risk tolerance. They also note the involvement of the law firm Hagens Berman in negotiating better terms, encouraging members to stay engaged, informed, and cautious about jumping at the first offer.

Finally, the hosts cover FOA updates, including the shift to Zoom webinars for town halls, the Tidal Wave parts platform launch (www.tidal-wave.eu) in Europe, and upcoming features in the OceanLink Pro app like pet mode and preconditioning. They also flag more significant issues like looming tariffs and cloud-related challenges, urging members to stay connected through FOA channels and not rely solely on the swirl of social media. The episode wraps up with some light-hearted MLB opening day banter — go Phillies and Pirates!
