      Nikola Zero Execution Risk Master Plan :
      1) Make some prototypes and photoshopped pictures
      2) Bank a bunch of investor’s money
      3) Figure out how to make them later

    They named their company Nikola when Tesla already exists. What a joke. Musk should sue for the good of the world.

      They’re both jokes.

    Partners. That means money to help bail you out. You think they are going to line up to manufacture you vehicle when they have their own in the pipeline. Why would they channel resources to Nikola especially since Nikola thinks that these “partners” will supply all the money while you provide the “design”? Please.

    They had their “groundbreaking” ceremony two weeks ago in Arizona and SQUAT since. Tesla had dirt movers on the ground pushing dirt around even BEFORE they made their official announcement that Austin was going to be the site. Tesla does not do groundbreaking ceremonies, they choose to move some dirt, dig some ditches and bury some utilities instead.

    sounds like a ripoff chinese company of tesla..

    • Chris Sullivan

      You should never buy a Tesla. Everyone I’ve met that has owned one sold it within a couple of years. Why? Because, their orders got screwed up, delivered late, and overpaid for last year’s model.

    Trevor Milton keeps bragging Nikola is the most innovative OEM.
    Someone, please remind him what the ‘M’ stands for.

    Nikola CEO: “Our zero risk execution plan is doing well. No factory and partner yet, but we have this new animation of the Badger truck.”

    My understanding is you cannot manufacture a concept drawing. So what, Nikola hands an OEM their powerpoints and the OEM takes it from there? What a farce.

    This is getting worse and worse. Each interview Nikola does is exposing more holes and deception. I don’t think most investors had any idea they were this far from actually producing a finished and tested product. This should be fun to watch.

    Finding a OEM “partner” might be easy, finding battery supplier might be different matter.

    Wow They’ve been blowing smoke all this time

    So they didn’t even have plans to make a pickup truck until Tesla unveiled their Cybertruck. And we’re supposed to believe that they’re planning on releasing it in the same year as the Cybertruck? Good luck with that lol.

    Still cannot get my head around the fact this company is publicly listed.

    LOL. The guy is super nervous, lots of eye blinking, bullsh management from the start. Red flags.

    ‘Big name investors’ not buying it, unless they are big in junk investments. Feel bad for that guy looks like he will be taking the blame when this whole farce comes to an end.

  24. John Wilson

    No, NO ONE compares Nikola to Tesla. EXCEPT for Nikola themselves. They say it all the time. But they are nothing like Tesla in anything they do.

    Plus, when Nikola fails it won’t be THEIR fault. Oh no. It will be the fault of one of their partners who failed to provide the motors/batteries/bodies (take your pick). It’s all their fault, not ours! Damn, I can write the headlines right now. Excuse after excuse then, finally, bankruptcy. That isn’t what I wanted. I wanted Nikola to succeed but all they have is vapourware and false promises.
