Cars are definitely something that should require getting it right the first time.

The problem is that Fisker have Magna to make the cars for them. And Magna being what it is, think from an ICE perspective. But when you look at what an EV actually is, it's all about software. You need software for the car infotainment system, software for BMS, software for drivetrain and software for everything. It's a computer on wheels.
And most ICE car manufacturers do not have the software expertise. Their IPs and know-hows center heavily on mechanical engineering. But there isn't all that much mech. engineering on an EV once you know the battery and electronic drive unit that you are going to put in. It's all software from there on.
