Boost Mode is limited to 500 activations—but what happens after that?
requires users to enter a special performance mode in order to unlock its full 564 hp and 543 lb-ft of torque. There's a catch, though: Boost Mode is limited to 500 activations. Here's what that means.produces a very respectable 468 hp and 514 lb-ft of torque. This is more than enough power to perform 99.9999999 percent of life's driving requirements, such as merging, passing, and accelerating.
at the Ocean's launch event in Vienna, Austria, earlier last month."Is it something people really want? Because most likely, they'll try it 10 times and then they probably won't do it much more—except if they have a friend out and they want to show off." Semi-relatedly, Fisker also hasn't ruled out a subscription-based features model. The company is cautious, for sure, because of, but can envision a couple of situations where it could work. Nothing's set in stone, yet, though.

It's also that there is a certain change in the durability of the vehicle now. Even a gasoline engine. If you tune up a gasoline engine, it's not going to last as long as if you didn't. So the warranty will change.
Should a customer want more than 500 activations, the company can give them more, Fisker said. The company rep declined to comment on what those transactions will look like, how much they will cost, and how they will affect Fisker's factory-backed warranty, as it's still too early to say.
