Maybe I've listened to too many CNBC interviews, to me he sounds like any other exec? "Blah blah everything is going great, we need capital but it's going great". Just a totally bland exec call, standard for that station. But also keep in mind it is essentially an advertising segment. They pretend not to be, but the way you get yourself on the show is a quid-pro-quo: some producer will need someone to say something interesting to fill up CNBC's day, and this is something, so the guy gets put on in exchange for an easy interview. I know people who've been on the show, and people who presented on the channel. This is why you get a lot of recurring guests like Mr Jones from Jones Asset Management coming on over and over, the little guys need to promote themselves.

> Maybe I've listened to too many CNBC interviews, to me he sounds like any other exec? "Blah blah everything is going great, we need capital but it's going great". > Just a totally bland exec call, standard for that station. Yes it almost makes your eyes glaze over. By design. But you see ,unlike an actual exec at an actual real company at this point in time he is burning cash and literally has nothing to sell and nothing to show. If you listen carefully to his explanation of when he plans to actually show something and sell things -- you will note that it is... complete... gibberish.. > But also keep in mind it is essentially an advertising segment. Absolutely. And what is he advertising at this point in time? :) Imagine he was talking about a super sonic long distance electric VTOL plane instead of hydrogen trucks. "We have no debt and plenty of money in the bank and these things are going to roll off the factory line next year just as soon as we figure out the PR with our customers as the timelines are tricky. Meanwhile we can't show you anything. Please buy my stock."
