Which Fisker, who has an actual background in the industry, fell flat on his face executing on. The person behind this REO initiative is a real estate guy.

Not saying it's impossible, because I very much want this to be a thing, but if Fisker couldn't pull it off with much more funding, I'm not going to bite until I see a real vehicle and some actual adults backing the thing.

Fisker was trying to make weird hypercars, not extremely basic vehicles that could be built from scratch by most mechanic's shops.

There are no unsolved problems here. If you find one, you can take apart a Frontier, Tacoma, or Colorado from before 2005 and check how it was done then.
