Small production run sports cars were always a thing, and with the technically much simpler electric drive those small production runs can be sold for the price of a normal car instead of sports car prices.

In addition they seem to have gotten a Chinese company with lots of automatization experience on board, so that should improve margins a bit as well.

I think they have a good chance to survive in a niche market.

As much chance as Bollinger, Canoo, Nikola, Fisker, Lordstown, Faraday...it's a niche of a niche market. Guys who work at health food stores.
