The company had actually been in the news in recent times and came up with a key update back on January 4, 2023. At the time it announced that the rate of production in the first quarter was going to be slow owing to supply chain issues.

The company sent in a filing to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in which it noted that the main supply chain problem was related to hub motor components availability. It was in the third quarter of 2022 that the company started the production of its Endurance pickup truck.
