Henrick Fisker showed off the Fisker Ocean software today via a video posted on Twitter.
Ahead of Fisker’s anticipated deliveries later this year, the CEO Henrick Fisker has shown off the vehicle’s interior UI software in a video posted on Twitter. The viewing showed very little of the capabilities of the upcoming vehicle’s software but did show some basic design elements and possible functionalities that are still in the works.
The video starts by showing the interior of the Fisker Ocean and its center display, twisting from landscape to portrait view, allowing the driver to interact with numerous controls. Once turned, the display shows the vehicle’s home screen with some essential functions; the visualized driving area that displays nearby vehicles and the roadway, music controls, a map, climate controls, and a tag labeled “range factors,” presumably helping a driver achieve the best possible range.

Along the left side of the display, more options are available for the driver; air conditioning controls, what looks like an app selection option, settings, and a home button that returns to the home page. One button, displayed with a lightning bolt over what may be a car, is not used but could indicate charging settings or drive mode.
Overall, the Fisker system is rudimentary and un-offensive. It looks easy enough to use and responsive, but the questions surrounding Fisker currently have nothing to do with its software offerings.
Via their manufacturing partner Magna International, Fisker has been able to produce roughly 95 prototype cars, according to their most recent press release. And while the company’s reservation page maintains that select models will begin the delivery process later this year, many have posted in comments under the selected video that they hope to see their order completed sooner rather than later.
The company has all of Q4 to begin producing and shipping their anticipated vehicles, but customers have been left in the dark without a production timeline.

TSLA-Q4-2025-Update by Simon Alvarez
Tesla has rolled out a new Supercharging safety feature in the United States, one that will answer concerns that some owners may have if they need to leave in a pinch.
It is also a suitable alternative for non-Tesla chargers, like third-party options that feature J1772 or CCS to NACS adapters.
The feature has been available in Europe for some time, but it is now rolling out to Model 3 and Model Y owners in the U.S.
With Software Update 2026.2.3, Tesla is launching the Unlatching Charge Cable function, which will now utilize the left rear door handle to release the charging cable from the port. The release notes state:
“Charging can now be stopped and the charge cable released by pulling and holding the rear left door handle for three seconds, provided the vehicle is unlocked, and a recognized key is nearby. This is especially useful when the charge cable doesn’t have an unlatch button. You can still release the cable using the vehicle touchscreen or the Tesla app.”
The feature was first spotted by Not a Tesla App.
This is an especially nice feature for those who commonly charge at third-party locations that utilize plugs that are not NACS, which is the Tesla standard.
For example, after plugging into a J1772 charger, you will still be required to unlock the port through the touchscreen, which is a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.
Additionally, it could be viewed as a safety feature, especially if you’re in need of unlocking the charger from your car in a pinch. Simply holding open the handle on the rear driver’s door will now unhatch the port from the car, allowing you to pull it out and place it back in its housing.
This feature is currently only available on the Model 3 and Model Y, so Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck owners will have to wait for a different solution to this particular feature.

LG Energy Solution pursuing battery deal for Tesla Optimus, other humanoid robots: report
Optimus is expected to be one of Tesla’s most ambitious projects, with Elon Musk estimating that the humanoid robot could be the company’s most important product.
A recent report has suggested that LG Energy Solution is in discussions to supply batteries for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot.
Optimus is expected to be one of Tesla’s most ambitious projects, with Elon Musk estimating that the humanoid robot could be the company’s most important product.
Humanoid robot battery deals
LG Energy Solution shares jumped more than 11% on the 28th after a report from the Korea Economic Daily claimed that the company is pursuing battery supply and joint development agreements with several humanoid robot makers. These reportedly include Tesla, which is developing Optimus, as well as multiple Chinese robotics companies.
China is already home to several leading battery manufacturers, such as CATL and BYD, making the robot makers’ reported interest in LG Energy Solution quite interesting. Market participants interpreted the reported outreach as a signal that performance requirements for humanoid robots may favor battery chemistries developed by companies like LG.
LF Energy Solution vs rivals
According to the report, energy density is believed to be the primary reason humanoid robot developers are evaluating LG Energy Solution’s batteries. Unlike electric vehicles, humanoid robots have significantly less space available for battery packs while requiring substantial power to operate dozens of joint motors and onboard artificial intelligence processors.
LG Energy Solution’s ternary lithium batteries offer higher energy density compared with rivals’ lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are widely used by Chinese EV manufacturers. That advantage could prove critical for humanoid robots, where runtime, weight, and compact packaging are key design constraints.
