Fisker Owner Shares Why He Traded In for a Rivian R1T

The buyback and trade-in program between Fisker, Rivian, and Chase has caught a lot of attention lately — especially from frustrated Fisker Ocean owners. In this video, I spoke with one of those owners who went through the process and traded his Ocean in for a Rivian R1T. His story offers some insight into how the deal actually works and why more Fisker drivers might be following in his footsteps.

In case you missed it, Rivian and Chase recently partnered on a buyback and trade-in offer specifically for Fisker Ocean owners. David didn’t make the decision lightly. He believed in Fisker early on and was excited about the Ocean, but delays, software issues, and communication breakdowns pushed him to consider alternatives. The Chase and Rivian deal made the jump financially viable — and after a test drive of the R1T, he was sold.

If you’re a Fisker owner who got the offer — or turned it down — we want to hear from you. Reach out or drop a comment below.
