Karma is only still making vwhicles due to bankruptcy and complete reorganization.
They were a complete financial failure and their future is still not proven.
I for one do not feel all electric vehicles are the future. No one is talking about the Elephant in the room. The amount of juice it would take to run everyones cars if they were all Electric. Ya people say solar but even with Solar its already been shown that it can not even cover a decent grid.
You are basically going to have to build more natural gas electric plants which will contribute to fossil fuel emissions.
We are better off going down the Hybrid road as you can put small fossil fuel ZEV engines to charge the batteries in the car. Also because you have that the vehicles does not need as large a li on battery pack to achieve longevity. Which translates to less ground pollution with land fill from dead li on batteries.
Plus F1 and supercar manufacturers are proving you can build hybrid performance cars that would make enthuisists happy.
This is why I feel Elon is spitting in the wind with Tesla. Over promise, under achive, reliability issues, autonomous issues, If it was not for government subsidies Tesla would have folded long ago. The most brilliant thing he has done with Tesla is managing to sell the general public that the cars are good. Lol
His real brilliance is with SpaceX which is actually profitable and well on its way to a extremely bright future.
