I was thinking about how many cars Fisker could haul on one ship from Europe to the United States. I stumbled across this article and thought it was interesting, especially the video (link below).
Car carrier ships are nautical workhorses of the industrialized world. Hauling up to 8,500 vehicles in a layer cake of 13 decks packed as tight as the Tokyo subway at rush hour, these ships do one basic task very well — delivering vehicles, from tiny compacts to enormous excavators, unscathed to destinations like the port here.
The video here is a nice explainer of transporting cars across the ocean:

The bigger questions is how many slots can they reserve? How much lead time do they need to reserve the slots?

Given Fiskers deep commitment to sustainability, I wouldn’t be surprised if they use the few partially solar powered ROROs out there. There’s not many, so could well end up taking longer for some to get their Ocean but a company as committed as Fisker might think it’s worth it.

Yes, that is the bigger (or better) question. Will be interesting to keep track of Fisker Ocean production (for the US market) if Fisker breaks that down and how many Ocean Ones get delivered and when.
