Usually public companies go threw funding rounds, this company knew they couldn't convince any real funds.
They claim to have battery technology that is way ahead of anybody else, and that just sounds like a nonsense claim. They basically do nothing inhouse, say about Tesla what you want but they have technical skills.
Seems to me Nikola is basically a scam designed to be as Tesla like as possible but with a little twist to make it seem just different enough.
- dhosek 6y agoThe wikipedia article claims Anheuser-Busch ordered 800 trucks in 2018 with a 2020 delivery target, so barring outright misinformation, that's probably a legit order. Whether the order gets filled is a different question.
- nickik 6y agoThat order might be real, but of the 10 billion many are just clicks on their website. Probably Anheuser-Busch thought 'free preorder, why not' and they probably have a hand in a couple of future truck companies.
