Fisker Ocean Roadside Assistance Ends
Unfortunately for the Fisker Ocean owners, the Fisker demise saga is inching ever so slowly toward a rather painful finish. Despite the company initially promising a 60,000-mile 6-year roadside safety net, with bankruptcy looming large on the horizon, Fisker pulled the plug on the service, leaving the U.S. customers with nothing more but the “we’re sorry” email.
Fisker Crumbles Away
Ocean owners were proud of Fisker’s roadside assistance program; it was one of the reasons they bought the car. No hassle, 24/7 assistance for anything from flat tires to broken windshields to winching out the ones stuck in a ditch. All gone, with one short email, the coveted service is no longer protecting those who took a gamble on a brand new EV company.
Although it sounds like an abrupt U-turn, the end of roadside assistance isn’t exactly a surprise. Numerous Ocean owners reported unreachable assistance lines, with rumors suggesting the service was about to be terminated. It didn’t take long before owners nationwide started receiving a short email confirming the rumors were more than just hot air.
No Way Out For Fisker
Fisker isn’t exactly riding high these days. Financial woes, lawsuits, and its European division already filing for bankruptcy protection — calling it a bumpy ride is quite an understatement. The roadside assistance disappearing act just adds to a long list of disappointments.
The company continues to try to offload its remaining Ocean EVs with even deeper discounts. The fast-diminishing number of dealerships are offering to waive the destination charge for anybody brave enough to buy one of the remaining Ocean SUVs. Apparently, half of the people asked if they would be prepared to buy a new Fisker, knowing the company is about to go under, replied that with the current prices, they would be prepared to take the risk. Fisker should have set up a dealership in Las Vegas.
There’s still a tiny sliver of hope; Fisker claims to be in talks with unnamed automotive giants trying to save the company. There isn’t much time left with the mass layoffs planned for June 28. All the signs point to a painful end, but let’s not give up hope just yet. For now, existing Ocean owners need to look for private roadside assistance services, which is bound to further sour their relationship with the brand.
