I guess the timing was way off given the end of ZIRP and all, but it's a shame that even this EV company model failed.

They stood out by using an established contract manufacturer for production (Magna). I'm sure that eats into margins a lot but it also meant they didn't have "production hell" and the same multi-billion investment to build out a factor that other EV startups have gone through.

Not sure how much is timing and how much is Fisker given his track record.

Also crazy they botched the software & customer service given they outsourced the actual building cars part... and still had mechanical defects (design or build issue ?).
