The ubiquitous Model Y faces one of the most interesting—and star-crossed—electric SUV challengers in years.

See All 49 Photosforced Mercedes to up its game. Competition drives innovation, but with the Model Y, Tesla swats away rivals by slashing prices and forcing the market to follow. At this point, the discounted Model Y blurs the line between mainstream and luxury, leading us to wonder: Can anyone shake Tesla’s market dominance?, an electric SUV bursting with original ideas; taco trays and a cool California mode only scratch the surface on the Ocean’s potential.

The real issue here isn't fast-charging speeds or even the startling noise the Ocean makes when you've reached your fast-charging stopping point. No, it's the fact the Fisker home charges at a slow 6.6-kW rate to the Tesla's 11.5-kW max. That’s not something we want to deal with on a road trip or in our day-to-day lives. So, although the Fisker’s superior MT Road-Trip Range is great, Tesla’s advantages—quicker home charging and Supercharger access today—are hard to ignore.

The Fisker drives circles around the Tesla when it comes to design. New for 2020, Model Ys can be found in school pickup lines almost everywhere these days, its ubiquity pushing a pleasant and modern design into the background. That will never be a problem for the Fisker, whose width, rarity, and powerfully flared wheel arches signal a greater sense of occasion.
