I keep thinking of Will Self in Grumpy Old Men, talking about the children in his area who went door-to-door at Christmas, singing carols for money. The way he described it, they spent more time knocking and begging than actually singing.

Similarly, I have this idea that a budding manufacturer would pop out two or three cars, announce the economics of it were flaky, seek funding and concessions, rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
