If it fails whatever metric the company is using, will we just have a Fisker repeat? Vehicles that aren't supported during their lifetime as the company folds.

At least this will be simple enough to keep going. The issue with the Fisker is all the software, screens, linked systems etc. The Slate with its windy windows, no infotainment etc should have better longevity.
Yeah, but I'm not convinced, as they say OTA updates will work via your phone. Really? Not keen on that.
Tech hasn't worked out that cars are much more complicated and dangerous, whilst the car industry hasn't worked out that software is really hard and has lots of hidden pitfalls.
Saw elsewhere someone posting a piece along the lines of "China sells high-tech stuff for the same price as this decontented truck" and my first thought was "is an EV not full of absurdly complicated software not a *good* thing?". If it does "do a Fisker", might be easier to support...
