“Being disconnected hasn’t stopped me from driving—but it has stopped me from trusting.”

“The FOA are the helpers. And when you’re lost, you find the helpers.”

“The car’s back—but the confidence isn’t.”

“This isn’t just a car problem—it’s a community resilience story.”

In this candid and timely episode of Ocean Currents, Bill Spohn and Andrew Bock unpack a whirlwind of developments affecting Fisker owners following the brand’s cloud connectivity shutdown. Andrew shares his long-awaited vehicle return saga after nearly two months of unresolved technical issues, including a mysterious door lockout that left techs stumped, even after replacing the 12V battery, BCM, and door handle. The conversation highlights the shared frustrations of Fisker owners, like the alarming entrapment report from Kentucky and the community’s grassroots efforts to engineer workarounds like manual door releases.

They also touch on the FOA’s proactive role in updating members through advisories, private podcasts, and a rapidly rescheduled town hall. A balanced PCMag article on the connectivity fallout gets praise, and so does the promising progress of the OceanLink Pro app—currently in beta, with a deeper dive planned soon.

Wrapping up, the hosts preview upcoming episodes focused on international owners, OceanLink Pro’s official release, and a follow-up interview with technician Dorian to dig deeper into Andrew’s repair odyssey.
