Il est marrant cet article :
The Ocean seems sound and owners love it, but the problems are hard to live with. Those included sudden power loss, issues with regenerative braking, the screen displaying errors, and an often dysfunctional key fob, meaning even ingress and egress is a nightmare, among several other issues.
Donc les proprios l'adorent même si c'est une vraie merde. Elle "semble" bien, c'est ce qui importe !
DeMuro said he liked the Ocean despite the unit he received having several glitches. (...) “I think the Ocean is better looking than the Blazer and Prologue, and it's well-priced with some interesting and exciting new tech," DeMuro said. “Frankly, the Blazer and Prologue aren’t especially exciting, which is showing in the (lack of) hype around them.”
DeMuro vient y mettre son grain de sel avec des arguments de haut vol : s'il n'y pas de buzz autour d'une voiture et qu'elle n'est pas jolie, celle-ci est sans intérêt ! Doug, c'est le frère américain de Shmee ?
Inconsistency is common among early production models made by upstarts. Early Teslas had wide-ranging quality issues, and so did early Rivian models. Even experienced legacy automakers aren’t immune to issues faced by EVs—a Blazer EV bricked while charging during an InsideEVs road test with our man Kevin Williams having to rescue himself in a rental Nissan Titan.
Que la Fisker soit un vrai cauchemar n'est pas grave puisque c'est aussi le cas de Tesla, Rivian ou encore Chevrolet. Ou comment continuer de normaliser la mauvaise qualité sur les EVs. Bel état d'esprit !
I asked DeMuro, who doesn’t own stock in any automaker, what he thought of the MKBHD review. “[It] was reasonably fair. I do think he takes a more tech-focused approach to car reviewing, and so he's more focused on the usability of the technology than many reviewers—and so a car that's glitchy will get very low marks from him,” he said.
Ainsi la technologie et l'ergonomie ne devraient pas faire partie des critères d'évaluation d'une voiture quand bien même l'on parle d'EV ? DeMuro vient juste d'avouer que lui-même et ses autres collègues "reviewers" ne font pas leur boulot... à l'exception de Marques !
“They've already revealed some tremendously enticing future products, and if the promise of future success is not enough to get them over the hill of survival, then it'll have to be operating cash so they can keep funding the company until those future products actually come to reality," DeMuro said. “So at this point, it's just money. Nothing else can do it,” he said.
Et mettre sur le marché un produit seulement lorsque celui-ci est fini n'est peut-être pas, aussi, une bonne idée ? C'est aux clients et aux YouTubers (les sérieux...) de déboguer ?
