New York City driver uses Fisker Ocean as ride-share vehicle despite reliability concerns

A driver in New York City is using a Fisker Ocean as a ride-share vehicle, despite the car's history of unreliability. Fisker, the manufacturer, is no longer in operation, leaving owners to manage repairs themselves. Typically, taxis in NYC are robust models like the Ford Crown Victoria or Toyota Camry. The choice of a Fisker Ocean, a luxury electric crossover, is unusual given its fragile reputation. The Fisker Ocean offers decent legroom and cargo space, along with a claimed range of up to 360 miles. However, concerns remain about its reliability in the demanding taxi environment.
