That is interesting. So they were more of an IP shop, and didn't get into the capital and labor side of auto manufacture. That may not have been material to the business arc that led to bankruptcy, but it reflects a different way of operating.
How much did they outsource software design and construction? Software flaws were part of the MKBHD review referenced in a different comment.

Magna Steyr was the manufacturer of the Ocean and Fisher used their platform. I would assume that Fisker developed most of the user facing stuff, so interior, exterior and UI.
