California-based EV startup Fisker debuted its first car–the Ocean SUV–with much fanfare and high hopes. But recent developments such as failing to deliver more than half of last year’s inventory and a preliminary investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding braking issues cast a shadow over the company’s hopes of building a reputation for making good cars.
That said, Fisker sold almost 5,000 cars last year, and one of those EVs went into the hands of an American customer who drove 4,000 miles in his new electric crossover and filmed a video documenting his experience so far.
