That was the point of using them as examples.  They tried (and arguably 
succeeded) to build something new, different, and extreme, but it didn't 
work as a business. The Delorian is best known as the car in the "Back 
to the Future"movies.  Tesla is building electric sports cars and hasn't 
quite failed yet but is consolidating and shut down their Detroit location.

The Ford Edsel model might be a good match to what fedora does.  Have 
you heard of that one?  It stuck all the new technology available in 
1957 into one car.  Engineering-wise it was not bad at all, but it was 
such a flop in acceptance that the name became a joke.
