If it’s cheap enough, someone will buy. I’m interested to know how it’ll work in this case though.

and then abruptly cut its price so it could quickly get rid of existing inventory.
Why would anybody buy a new car that has no future of warranty or parts availability?

They’ll get bought out by somebody. How that looks as far as warranties and such…who knows.

Someone will wait for them to go bankrupt first. Poach any staff they need, and leave the rest to unemployment.

Well, they’ll certainly get bought for pennies for sure. My guess is that someone will offer BEFORE the bankruptcy, because nobody wants the extra admin overhead and cost of dealing with a subsidiary in bankruptcy. That’s why the company is putting out PR in the first place. Kind of like a “Make an offer now before it gets worse” kind of thing.

If you let them go bankrupt first then you can buy cheaper, and don’t need to let go of a bunch of surplus employees. I think it’ll be about the bottom line. I guess it all depends on the price and any likely competition for the purchase.

some rich hobbyist engineer/mechanic might buy one for parts. So they can use the parts to convert a ICE car into an EV

You can buy like 2-3 for the price of one. If you didn’t need to worry about software issues it would be a good purchase.
If you’re looking for a good chassis and powertrain with no need for anything g else it might make sense.
