Still have a reservation but may cancel (especially if there will be inventory so soon and I don't need a vehicle yet). It's odd to me that you are forced to choose a color or any other specification when searching (or am I doing something wrong?). I'd just like to see what is available. I've seen this on other sites as well.
Perhaps this gives them data on what people are searching for but it can't be that helpful, I wouldn't think. Any other reason to require specification?

They rushed out the page? I did different colors an didn't get a lot of hits (probably where I live), maybe they don't want people to see all the vehicles unsold in one place? Guessing lots of canceled orders after the 3rd quarter call.

Well, looks like Fisker has already opened an inventory shop for Oceans. Looks like just the Launch Edition "Ones" for now.

Interesting. Fisker can't seem to actually get my vehicle into my driveway but an identical one claims to be ready for delivery in 4-10 days.

Yeah, sounds like its a bit of a circus at the moment. Hopefully things get smoother.

I am not in a huge hurry, but would still really like it to be soon so I don't have to deal with it once we're actually into winter.

Isn't Rivian's search the same way? It won't let you just see all available in the area at once.

Ocean Ones are likely all that's available currently. There are several colors on the selector that should get grayed out because they weren't even options for the One. Not sure why they aren't doing that but just try a different color. These are all vehicles that were produced for people that cancelled.

As noted, I believe Rivian is like this as well (and a few others). It's just a bit odd to me that they force you to select filters as opposed to seeing everything available. Maybe could understand location (to not annoy some people in some places where vehicles are not available).
To me, it is more annoying than helpful is all.

Rivian's system didn't used to have the filtering like this, and there were definitely people that went through the entire buying process before they realized that they bought the wrong vehicle. No idea how those people were so inobservant that they missed it over and over but they did.

Fisker says I should be able to schedule my delivery this week, vehicle finally arrived at their facility late last week. Really curious how it's going to stack up against the R1S. We don't need the third row and haven't used it yet.

From the exterior, I don’t see the appeal of it. Have seen a few in the Bay Area.

Will be interested in getting a comparison run down from you.

Same. I have a reservation, and have been invited to start the process, but have been holding off to see what others think.

The fact that Magna is building it gives me plenty of confidence it’s not the product of some madman’s backyard shed, but still.
