Fisker Alaska EV truck unveil

[Diehard]

I wish there was a law prohibiting these videos unless what is shown is already in production and ready to sell. That said , it is always nice to see the Avalanche feature on any truck:

But then what would we have done for the last 4 years!

Does it have a BAW?

The best bit is the Houdini trunk opening.

How did he disappear again? In a Fisker?

some interesting features but it’s not going to sway me.

This IS going 'NORTH' to Alaska(?)
Lots of 'thin ice' ahead for Fisker.

The only thing stopping me from buying other brands is that damn CCS charge plug.. When everyone addopts the NACS, I'm gonna need me a bigger garage..

Yes the Force-E is an upgrade kit for the Ocean. The fact that they are going to offer it to existing Ocean owners is a smart idea to produce after sales revenue. Buy a used Ocean, buy the upgrade kit, go camping. Done. Monster truck? Nope. But doesn't need to be to get to some awesome primitive camp sites.

The roll down mid gate on the Alaska is an interesting concept. Not sure how well it will work in the real world with rain, dirt, load forces in a crash, etc. But if they can get those things right the Alaska goes into one of the top 3 spots on my list. As long as the starting price isn't bait and switch that is.

Side profile on the Alaska is not bad. There are zero trucks that I look at and go "wow that looks good". But the front on the Alaska is ... Everything I hate in legacy OEM trucks turned up to 11.1 .

Watching and reading all this and what comes to mind is the Sony Betamax.... can you say "orphan".

Hey… I mean… they delivered a midgate where Tesla did not(?)…!

You can take your Christmas tree home [in the dead of winter with the rear open to the world and the tree sticking you in your ear].

The only thing keeping me from buying a different truck than a CT is I don’t want any other truck and I have a strangely deep desire for a CT.

I never said i wouldn't by the CT as well! Got two on order: first minute reservation for a tri motor and a dual motor reserved two years later. But i do want to see what other brands have to offer, i just feel that without the tesla network EVs are just not as practical.

I think the smaller vehicle is going to resonate with many buyers. I've had several full size trucks and they are a pain around town. If you don't need to work out of it or pull something heavy, these smaller form factor trucks are nice. Hesitating on the deposit though since there's no track record for Fisker yet...

Interesting features, like the cowboy hat holder in the rear ceiling.

That completely blocks the rear view mirror, ability to see out the back window, and gives back passengers claustrophobia? Nope, that's not a feature, that's a straight up gimmick that needs to not make it to production.

You guys jump on that wagon, I'm sticking with a once in a generation truck when it comes to materials, manufacturing processes, and design.
