Unsurprising. They were late to the game and had a product which had very few points of differentiation. I also think it is important to point out that they were not making cars, they designed cars and outsourced production.
So what if they outsourced production? It's not like the company in charge of the production was some no name Chinesium vaporware company, but a highly experienced manufacturer who also builds cars for Mercedes and Jaguar at the same factory and is been in business for like ~80 years. You don't need to own your factory to make good solid cars. Sometimes it's best to hand it over to more experienced partners who know…
I mentioned it because people place Fisker at the wrong position and judge their cars from the wrong perspective. I really don't think it was a bad choice on Fiskers part.
>After all, none of Fisker's major issues were manufacturing related, but software/UX.
Yes, much of the car was quite usable from what I heard. Driving performance and feeling seemed good and it seemed well manufactured. So everything which Fisker didn't do and outsourced to Magna Steyr was quite good. Of course this puts Fisher in an even worse light.
