IIRC the contract manufacturer, Steyr Magna, historically produced mainly small-run, expensive cars, trucks and military APCs (!).

I suspect that Fisker was spending a lot more per delivered vehicle than their direct competitors like Tesla, Audi, BMW, Polestar. Maybe breaking even on the car itself but having their operating costs (sales) digging a progressively bigger hole each month.
