I heard that same explanation. But it's not that true. True they did use modules made by other manufacturers. But they were their own company. With no affiliations with the big 3. There has even been talk of a revival. (Rumors surface every 10 years or so.) I think there is opportunity for a revival if let's say the go "Green?" In the next 10 years battery technologies will make electric cars far too attractive to ignore. I know these are not the best forums to discuss alternative technology. But electric performance and efficiency is not that easy to ignore.
