Didn't workout for Nikola. Their trunk didn't work when it was presented but I could say the same thing to the solar roof installation Elon presented.

- toomuchtodo 3y agoNikola's fraud was blatant [1]. They rolled a truck down a hill, and the internal emails were damning. Trying in good faith (solar shingles) and failing isn't fraud, that's just a failed business venture. Solyndra failed too. Fraud? No, just bad business. I can understand that Musk attempts to bend reality to juice the chances of success. I don't condone it personally, but I understand it [2].
