Not anywhere near the same segment as the Tesla Roadster, so it's not really an apt comparison. The reason it didn't sell is because they were trying to make a luxury car based on fuel economy. That's a hard marketing job (because people who buy luxury cars don't give a fuck about fuel economy), and a niche that apparently doesn't need to be filled.
