And I didn't really think his review was all that scathing.

Marques is actually very balanced even in his critical reviews.

Even with the Humane AI pin, he did commend them on their physical build quality, even if the rest of the device was practically useless, he never outright said that, just points out the flaws.

Although I do wonder sometimes how much he tries to hard to be balanced, as some products, especially cars due to the price, don’t deserve kind treatment for noticeable faults.

The video's title "worst car ever reviewed" was not as balanced though :D

[–] lud@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

I guess. But as long as it's actually true and he actually believes that, I see no real issue with it.

[–] teejay@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

It wasn't. Fisker's shitty response is what made it an even bigger deal.

[–] pastabatman@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I agree, but to be fair the title was a little clickbaity and was seen by a whole lot of people who didn't watch the video and just scrolled past it.

It wasn't really. It certainly didn't make me want to go spend $70k for one, but I wouldn't have entirely dismissed the brand as a whole for one of their first forays into both auto engineering and EV production. If I got one for free, I'd drive it. By the time I need a new car, it would have been worth looking into again.
