This new EV has a 'California mode,' and it's as chill as it sounds

The rest of the country is going to snicker, but Fisker's upcoming all-electric SUV, called Ocean, unveiled a feature this week to honor the car's West Coast roots and SoCal vibes. 

With one button Ocean drivers can open nine windows and openings throughout the car including a back hatch and sun roof. Let the ocean air flow in and breathe in and out. If that isn't California dreaming we don't know what is. The feature is called, of course, California mode. Iconic car designer Henrik Fisker is based in the Los Angeles area.

Reservations-holders for the Fisker Ocean are privy to an exclusive video demonstrating how it works, but it's only on the Fisker app. We were told we could see the video next week after future-owners got a chance first.
