I read the complete article in the LA Times today and I'd say that most companies on life support like this one do not make it w/o total reorganization. So, yes, it's gone. There are, however, ways to make this car once again. I doubt many of them are all the viable, though. There's already talk of a new model after only 2000 of the old one. The manufacturer of the batteries is dead and now owned by a Chinese firm.

All the players are on the board and the 2 pawns have been moved into position. I think it's China's move.
