Nikola's Hydrogen Truck

Franco Cozzo · 22-11-2020, 12:30 AM

Turns out they're full of **** and have been bull****ting everyone, their truck doesn't work, has never worked and the company is an absolute dumpster fire - of course GM is in bed with them

These fake news vapourware enviro-flogs are coming out of the woodwork and auto manufacturers keep getting into bed with these random 'startups'.

How good is the name

Let's start a car company called 'Henry'

The vehicle in motion footage - tow it up a hill and let it roll downward.

At the end of the day, he wasn't wrong, the truck DID produce zero emissions did it not? lol

There's a lot of startups with nothing but cash burn but the market loves them, as currency is falling from the sky via the central bank's QE policies

Gotta park it somewhere

Hey there's a truck, it might even move!

Nikola electric-truck prototypes were powered by hidden wall sockets, towed into position and rolled down hills,

Mainstream Hydrogen powered vehicles are a furphy, until there is a HUGE technological advance, there is nothing that’ll happen to make that happen in the medium term.

It takes more power to extract Hydrogen, and make it useful in “powering” a powertrain, than that Hydrogen can actually produce.

This is GM investing in nonsense without proper due diligence of Nicola and it’s personnel
and that’s before they ever address the big issues with hydrogen fuel…….

They also invested in Lordstown motors didn't they? Which is pretty much going down the tubes.

GM

Yeah but it’s a small piece like 5%, 7.5 million shares, probably in exchange for Lordstown plant?

They can’t keep focused on their own projects, were going to buy into Rivian just to stop Ford.
