Wow, I didn't know any of this. I saw a Nikola promotional video on FB a couple of weeks ago. I was intrigued, but the video did seem way overhyped.
Here's hoping the Rivian is the real deal!"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Nikola did sign a partnership deal with GM that's valued in the billions and GM has defended the deal. So maybe it isn't all just a house of cards? That said, if I owned Nikola stock I would sell now.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostComment

Yes, that is the interesting part. Unless GM is being duped, there is something to the company but it sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to the current valuation.

But man, that company is shady like crazy. They have all these cool looking trucks on their website, but the only thing you can actually buy are shirts and hats (mostly flat brimmed). They even have an electric jet ski, how lame is that:

Sort of. Except GM actually knows how to manufacture electric vehicles and would presumably be able to evaluate Nikola's tech. I don't think there are many scientists or engineers on staff at Walgreens.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

GM is using their own batteries, fuel cells, and manufacturing. So what exactly did they get from Nikola? Maybe a cool pickup design? I will say this, the Nikola Badger is 100X better looking than that turd Tesla designed.Originally posted by wapiti View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Yes, this is true. However, you probably can only drive the Badger downhill since it sounds like it won't have an engine...Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Yeah, I would almost be tempted to get one of those. Man, this thing looks good (on paper):Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/g...el-cell-semis/Back to the Badger. Nikola will issue $2 billion in stock to GM, and in return, Nikola will receive access to GM engineering. The automaker will validate, homologate and manufacture the Badger when the time comes, though it's not clear where it plans to build the pickup. The Detroit-Hamtramck facility seems like a logical place, considering the GMC Hummer EV will roll out of the factory in the years to come. Both the Nikola pickup and the reborn Hummer will use GM's Ultium battery technology, which promises at least 400 miles of range and oodles of advances in the segment.
In the past, Nikola teased 600 miles of range with a combination of battery and fuel-cell power for the Badger. So far, we know the company plans to also offer a purely battery-powered version, which should do 300 miles on a single charge. That could change with GM's technology underneath the skin, however. If Nikola keeps its word, 906 horsepower and 980 pound-feet of torque will be at the driver's service.
Holy crap, the HP/torque is crazy. That beats the crap out of the Ford Hennessey VelociRaptor and its wimpy 750 HP. Yeah, with a truck like that...
