    The bigger the lie, the more believable it is.

    Why is Citroen investigating an American company whose only presence is in California? Obviously it depends on the price of hydrogen and only regions with LOTS of sunlight will be able to produce super inexpensive hydrogen gas. Also regions with too much electricity like here in Toronto. We’re so stupid we produce too much electricity and pay New York to buy it from us. Hydrogen gas production gives you something to do with surplus electricity.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof… Spotlight is on NKLA and they have nothing but hot air. Elizabeth Holmes copy cat.

      Nikola invited the SEC to investigate Hindenburg NOT Nikola.

    You cannot trick people into investing in your company based on false claims. First, you have a revolutionary battery and fuel cell technology now you are outsourcing it all. What are people investing in? This is a graphics design company with a market cap. of over $10 Billion. They plan to market a pickup truck in which two different companies will be adding a markup, at what price will they be able to sell it?

      That’s just for the Badger Trucks and select fuel cell models, they have a lot more to offer many of which they haven’t disclosed yet

      Nokila’s ‘partners’ have stake in Nikola. Like GM has 11% ownership. So what would you expect from these stake holders? Not really partners.

    • SWOLEHERO

      September 15, 2020 at 12:59 am

      Theepan Raj they did extensive due diligence on Nikola before agreeing to partner, all of their partners and companies holding contracts have done their research.

    Nikola calling the SEC to complain about HindenburgRes is like a meth lab calling the cops to complain about a noisy upstairs neighbor.

    Trevor is just a compulsive liar. Desperate to keep the hype train rolling.

    “Oh yeah…we have 3.5 megawatts of solar panels on the HQ roof cracking H20.” WTF ????

    Who does that? Mental defect or Confidence Man.

    GM + BOSCH are SCREWED. They are fools for moving forward with NIKOLA and fools for dropping NIKOLA. It just shows a new level of incompetency for the whole industry. No one has said NIKOLA has any tech that is proven. No one. Not even NIKOLA.

    All this illustrates is how far these legacy OEMs are behind TESLA, Porsche and LUCID.

    Good luck selling an NIKOLA EV that IS LAUGHABLE to the consumer. What a joke…

    I think it will all get sorted out an Nikola will be fine. GM vetted them before the 2B.

    So the next question is whether or not NKLA will be delisted.
