I HONESTLY THOUGHT this was going to be a parody when it came on...

Towing it back to the top does though

I think Ill wait to see what the reviews are before I waste 30 minutes of my life on Nikola as they seem kinda scammie.

@Mrbfgray - I got to agree. If you are a decent engineer you have left Nikola - every car company is screaming out for engineers - EVEN SANDY Munro is advertising for engineers with EV experience. You would NOT WANT Nikola on your CV with all the scandals and if you stay AFTER the scandals that severely damage your reputation. Ergo - the engineers they currently have are not the best in the industry. Ergo - you are unlikely to be rolling out a new technology.

@Mrbfgray - Everyone is for sale to a degree when they have salaries to pay. Do I think he would endorse something he did not believe in - NO. Do I think he would help promote Nikola if the engineers came to him and said "we are trying to move past the scandal and build a real company and we would like to pay you to help us" YES, after due diligence I believe he would. Personally, I think H is a red herring. I think it will never go anywhere. Why - I talked with a guy wiht 40 years of experience installing gas systems for laboratories and he said H is the nightmare gas. Its the "leakiest" gas in the world, a seal that is gas-tight for air at 150 psi is free flow to H. He said in any system that had H piped in that have an extraction system cos they ASSUME it will leak. Adn this is with a yearly inspection and stainless steel fittings. He said H will be dead as an automotive gas after the first few garages explode killing the car owner. He said there is no way on gods earth you can keep it high pressure Hydrogen gas tight in a consumer environment over the life of a car or a truck. They replace seals annually on lad equipment and they still get leaks.

@mr.v3061 - Hey - live it - enjoy it - screen print it and frame it - its 2021, you have to take pleasure in the tiny things; and Im not joking.

@Mrbfgray - EXACTLY. I am very surprised to see Sandy there. BUT Sandy is not an idiot; I am sure he has his reasons for being there, I am sure he knows what he is doing. I started to watch a bit of this and the guys were so unimpressive that I gave up.

@Mrbfgray Yeah. My suspicion is Nikola are paying him to rehabilitate their image. Thats just my hunch...
