Pear trim levels

@eyad-atallah I doubt we will see such a big difference! It would cut into the ocean’s price range! Fisker also mentioned that it’s not meant to be a premium car! It will have some cool features, but I would expect the top model to be around $40,000 at most! In the case of trim levels, it will probably have 3 trim levels as well with their unique names im guessing. And maybe a PEAR ONE model on the first year as a limited edition? Everyone’s guess is as good as mine I’m sure lol. 

Let's throw some math against the wall and get some ballpark ideas.

Just looked at the configurator here in Canada for some reference. The Ocean Ultra is 45% (37%in the US) more than the Sport and the Ocean Extreme is 104% (84% in the US) more than the sport (wow, I didn't realize the percentage increases in the Trim levels!!). If we assume that the Pear will have similar trim levels and an estimated Pear Sport starting price of $35,199 ($29,999 US-based on the % price difference of the US/Can price difference) then the Pear Ultra would be $48,222 ($41,099 in the US) and the Pear Ultra would be $64,766 ($55,199 in the US).

Hopefully being that the Pear will be an entry level vehicle the percentage differences will be lower as the vehicle will be smaller with less options. 

@gpvg26 Given the "extreme" price difference between the Ocean Sport and the Ocean One, I would be concerned if the PEAR One had such an extreme price difference over the equivalent PEAR Sport if the trim levels are similar. The real question for me is how bad do I want a PEAR, and am I willing to wait until the entry level trim is actually manufactured and shipped compared to what in all likelihood will be similar to the One trim level for the PEAR.

Car and Driver has a new article on the PEAR, just out after Product Vision Day: https://www.caranddriver.com/fisker/pear

In the article, the author forecasts that the PEAR will be sold as a 2026 model in mid-2025. He also forecasts the same trim levels as the Ocean: Sport ($30k), Ultra ($33k), Extreme ($37k) and One ($40k). If this comes to pass, then I have to believe that the only way one could get an early delivery of the PEAR would be to place an order as soon as the One is made available.

Ultra for 33k would be the one for me. AWD with the bigger battery (like the Ocean Ultra Trim). Hopefully no Ones, just get into production!

What do you think about the Canadian price compared to the OCEAN, given that the OCEAN is imported from Austria and the PEAR is imported from the United States?

Knowing that the Ocean Sport is 43,999$CAD (37,499$USD) and that if we convert the US currency to CAD the price is 50 984,36$ then the Canadian price is less than the converted price. Will it be the same with the PEAR (less than the US price converted to Canadian)?

They just referred to 4 trim levels at the European debut ahead of IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich. So, it looks like there is going to be a One, Sport, Ultra and Extreme just like the Ocean. Hoping for a Sport awd, so that probably won't be available until 2026 some time (going on the Ocean build philosophy of making the one, Extreme and Ultra before the Sport). This may take me out of the market for a Pear. 🙁

@mycj7 I don't need a top-of-the-line variant. However, for my needs, the 5 seater and long-range model is good enough. I'll be OK with just a plain sunroof and normal-looking wheels. Something similar to the Air Glider Wheels (shown below) would be nice. And perhaps the wet-suit seat texture as seen on the Ocean would be interesting. The black cloth looks a bit bland.

I'm not too picky. Sport, awd with 400+ km range. cruise, A/C, pw, pdl, black interior and under $36,000 or so.

 A range of 500 KM(300 miles) is ideal as public transportation in New York is not the best.

 Having experience with a black interior will stress the air conditioner and battery in summer.

The blue color Sean C. has on his Ocean is a nice color of consideration. I would also go for the sunroof without the solar features. 

I don’t know if the 5 seater will have the same column shifter as seen in the 6 seater.

It would be a plus to have the rear mirror camera as the headrests seem bulky and debre will cover most of the rear window if the car doesn't come equipped with a rear wiper.

Otherwise,  I would like to consider one.

I placed a deposit on it.

🙂

I am a mechanic, so black interior is a must. lol

I am waiting a bit longer for a few more concrete details about the Pear (and a few other EV's) before putting a deposit down, plus hopefully we will have some updates on whether the Canadian Federal EV rebate will be extended past the current March 2025 ending date (if it doesn't get extended I may have to pull the trigger on the Ocean or another EV that will be available before the expiration).

Would also like to know battery size/range/charging rates, ground clearance, which trims have AWD and costs.

@mycj7 We also need to know if the Foxconn deal with go through or not. The English journalist also said Fisker has some financial issues which I hope are cured by more Oceans being built this month (September).

Has the Pear been pushed back to make room for the Alaska?

@evan007 Yeah, more details needed for sure. I don't think Fisker is desperate for money yet and with the Oceans rolling out there should be consistent income coming in. 

I wonder if the reason that the Foxconn deal isn't finalized yet is due to the announcement that the Alaska being manufactured first and the possibility of Fisker adding that to the manufacturing deal? 

Does Magna have any vehicle manufacturing in North America yet? I found a few articles from 2021 saying they were looking for possible sites....

Yes, I remember reading about a future Magna plant in the US (no cars are made by them in the US). The possibility of Alaska being built by Foxconn is possible. Didn't he want it to go on sale soon?
