Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry, is a Taiwanese contract electronics manufacturer best known for assembling consumer devices at scale. In 2021 it signed framework agreements with US electric-vehicle maker Fisker to build 250,000 PEAR crossovers a year, a deal that never reached a final manufacturing contract before Fisker's 2024 bankruptcy . That arrangement is now cited as a precedent for reading capacity announcements between investors and manufacturers with caution.
