Savior? How about deliver first and brag later? That would be mighty decent after everything that happened.

@togowack So anyone doubting Nikola based on their reputation is a stock manipulating troll? That's some "logic".

@togowack Yikes, such a cheap attempt at trolling. Are you actually bothered by people using their real names online? Or do you naturally doubt anyone having a different opinion than your own? I don't care about Nikola's stock. They have a long way to prove themselves as worthy truck makers, let alone "saviors".

@togowack "Highlighted reply" is a YouTube feature mentioning which reply you're looking at when you click your own notifications - you can't pay for your comments to be highlighted. Open the video without any extra parameters and go to these comments, to see how you will no longer see "Highlighted reply". Also, many people use their real name online. If you think that puts them at risk of identity theft just because their name is there, take off your red glasses because you see too many red flags that aren't actually red.

@togowack Tesla doesn't want hydrogen fuel cells in the first place, and their EV trucks have already been tested extensively. So they're not competing in terms of technology, but rather as truck makers. Now I don't care that what Elon thinks about hydrogen "fool cells". They are indeed more expensive than batteries, but someone has to push research and development further to drive down the cost. There are certainly good applications for it, we just have to make it safe and cheap enough.

@2023gainer Leading is great, but 72 is... hopefully enough to keep the lights on at Nikola. I hope they'll do fine and survive. But that's a far cry from calling them a savior. :) As for Tesla, they're known to take it slow in the beginning of a new model because then they ramp up fast, so they want a product as refined as possible before they speed up production. And it's also a known fact that they prioritized the sales of their cars before anything else, including the Cybertruck, due to battery constraints. Now they're doing pretty well with the batteries (over 100 million 4680 cells produced in-house), and the Tesla Semi also did great in testing, so they're probably close to the long awaited ramp up. I think the Tesla Semi will do great, but it still doesn't matter who leads, as long as we remove the stinkers off the road, and hopefully Nikola will stay in business and help in this transition.

@tylerdunford6031 One piece of evidence that's enough to prove Nikola is still a bad bet is that Trevor Milton is the only one out of the picture. Mark Russell knew pretty much everything about Trevor's lies, but didn't take action. I can only assume he has some sort of deal with the DOJ and others, or he would be out of the picture too. What kind of deal? Maybe snitching on Trevor for everything that couldn't be proven on paper or otherwise? Could be. How else could he get away clean? The fact remains that Mark kept Trevor's lies as truth in the eyes of the public for as long as Trevor was there. I have no idea why anyone would trust Mark Russell after all that. And yet, he's running the company. Now about that Nikola "will deliver", you seem far too sure. Do you work for Nikola or you can't expect supply shortages to stay in the way of Nikola delivering stuff by the end of this year? How can you be so sure about them? I don't see why you would trust them so much, especially with their history and their current leadership.
