Ocean Currents: The Magical Car Episode with Pat Carley | Children's Book Release Announcement
In this special edition Ocean Currents, author Pat Carley announces his new children's book inspired by the extraordinary story of the Fisker Owners Association community. Sign up here to get the latest news on the book's release and where to order it from: https://pat-carley.author-pages.com/
Pat explains how the Fisker experience went from the excitement of owning a new EV, through the uncertainty following Fisker's collapse, to something completely unexpected: a community of people teaching, helping, fixing, and supporting one another. His book takes that experience and turns it into a story for children and adults about cooperation, discovering other people's strengths, resilience, and the power of community.
The story ultimately asks an important question: Was the magic really in the car, or was it in the people who came together around it? Miles and Pat also talk about the future of the Fisker Owners Association (FOA), why communities can outlast companies, and why Pat believes the Fisker story may eventually deserve to be made into a movie. Pat's book is expected to become available toward the end of August, with a portion of the proceeds going back to the FOA.
Updates and ordering information will be shared as publication gets closer.

What happens when a car company disappears but its community refuses to quit?

Obsessed, United, and Not Giving Up: FOA’s Road Forward
In this super-sized, powerful, and deeply human episode of the Ocean Currents Podcast, Andrew Bock and Bill Spohn sit down with Cristian Fleming, president of the Fisker Owners Association (FOA), for a wide-ranging and insightful discussion. Cristian shares the origin story of the FOA, driven by a mix of injustice, obsession, and a desire to help a community left stranded after Fisker's collapse. He describes his background as a systems designer, how his hyperfocus became a superpower in this situation, and how he helped lead an improbable movement to take ownership, both figuratively and literally, of a struggling electric vehicle (EV) brand.
Cristian delves into the complexity of managing recalls, cloud-based software, community-sourced repairs, and the unique legal structures behind the FOA, Tsunami, Tidal Wave, and Undercurrent. He emphasizes transparency, shared responsibility, and the critical role of the community, not just in fixing cars but in supporting one another through a turbulent and uncharted journey. The episode also touches on the sometimes psychological toll of the situation, with poignant reflections on personal relationships and the need for regulation around EV software ownership.

Chase Offers, Cloud Fears & EV Test Drives: Ocean Owner Update
In this episode of Ocean Currents, Bill Spohn and Andrew Bock dive into a wide-ranging update for Fisker Ocean owners, covering everything from personal mishaps (like Bill’s run-in with his hood) to broader industry developments. Andrew shares his month-long absence from the Ocean while his vehicle sits in the shop, allowing him to test-drive several EV competitors like the Mustang Mach-E, Kia EV6, and BMW i4. Despite some impressive features, he longs for the Ocean's unique feel and driving experience.
A major focus of the conversation is Chase's recent wave of settlement offers tied to Fisker Finance loans. Andrew and Bill unpack the confusing math and emotional weight behind these decisions, emphasizing that each owner's choice will vary depending on their financial position and risk tolerance. They also note the involvement of the law firm Hagens Berman in negotiating better terms, encouraging members to stay engaged, informed, and cautious about jumping at the first offer.
Finally, the hosts cover FOA updates, including the shift to Zoom webinars for town halls, the Tidal Wave parts platform launch (www.tidal-wave.eu (https://tidal-wave.eu/)) in Europe, and upcoming features in the OceanLink Pro app like pet mode and preconditioning. They also flag more significant issues like looming tariffs and cloud-related challenges, urging members to stay connected through FOA channels and not rely solely on the swirl of social media. The episode wraps up with some light-hearted MLB opening day banter — go Phillies and Pirates!
