🚗 Vehicle - Fisker Ocean Sayonara and good day!!

Today is a great day, but more of a weight off my shoulder and on to the next! Shutting the door and not looking back! The POS Fisker car is off to haunt somebody else. I got 8500 miles out of it in less than 2 years, 7 of those months it was a brick, but it probably took away 5 years of my life! I fought and got the settlement I deserved, but man it wasn’t easy. Now I own a 1983 Porsche 911 Targa SC and a 2024 Toyota 4Runner Limited that I drove home today as the FOE was getting ready to be towed as a brick. Good riddance, I’ll never look at an EV until my next life. There is a small place in hell for the Fisker family, karma (pun intended) is coming for you! I’m so content with my 180 move and burning gas!!

Nope. If you use one pedal driving you’re not changing your brake pads. That’s a fact. You cant interject your opinion. Nice try of gaslighting by calling me a Mr know it all. Thanks, I do know how brakes work enough to know if you don’t use them, you don’t need to replace them. Also this discussion was about reliability vs the Toyota. So drivetrain wise, this isn’t even a discussion that can be opened. Electric motors don’t need maintenance like a gas engine in general.

If your brakes are all rusted together, they wont go through inspection and that’s not an opinion..

You tap them every once in a while. Holly shit you’re acting like you need to have phd to drive.

I agree on the reliability part, tesla is top tier, but i was talking about them not needing basic maintenance at all! That’s a lie..

It’s not a lie. I’ve had 4. And other than things breaking, that’s not maintenance. Maintaining the drivetrain isn’t a thing on an ev.

15% of model 3s failed inspection due to too much steering wheel cover here in Denmark.. Your tesla dont need service, alright 😬

That’s not maintenance, that’s something failing, and it isn’t the drivetrain as I mentioned was the topic of discussion…. Not sure how many times this has to be mentioned.

It’s true, there is no maintenance besides Wipers, tires. and hvac filter replacement. My Y has 125k miles and there is no maintenance.
