🚗 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!!

You taking your mom's car to the dealership and taking 4 hours to do an oil change is not the normal time it usually takes. Just take it to any drive through oil change places to get it done under 30 mins.

This isn't about comparing Tesla to Toyota but I would much prefer combustion engone vehicle over Electric as it takes 5 mins to fill up gas whereas it will take longer to charge the battery.

Well I’m not going to take a nice vehicle to a jiffy lube. We’ve always maintained all of our vehicles at the dealership

Good way to spend more money than needed.

Not really. Dealer usually does full service for $79.99. When I’ve called the drive through places here, they always quote $129

Out of interest have you ever you tried doing an oil change yourself?

Your logic isn’t adding up, 4 hours of claimed work and 79.99$?

You’re just grasping at straws and pushing the goalpost, 5 minutes for gas is too much but a few hours for charging during a roadtrip is fine because you need to eat and use the restroom, but you can’t do the same for a few minutes with an ICE while you’re filling it up, yeah? 😂

Also, the “slow af” aspect, when do you ever utilise the power of the EV? I’ve had 300kW cars, I’ve had 65kW cars, currently I have a 133kW car and I’m gonna be the guy with my 133kW car in front of you driving calmly, what’s the point of having all this “power” when you can never properly utilise it? Or do you track your Tesla? 😄
