  1.  @lockbert99  PLENTY of evidence it was nothing but a scam from day one. But I'm impressed they have at least a solitary truck that can drive a few miles.

  2. They aren't that stupid and reckless I'm pretty sure.

  3. That's not Sandy's role. We ALL know that. I also don't think Sandy is the best at determining the economic viability of H2 overall for this purpose. I think NKLA should, will eventually be a penny stock.

  4. Nothing will save H2 from the fact it's double the cost of diesel. The charging stations are extremely expensive, best not to waste money on that, let the few run them from a central location only refueling at home base until the are abandoned for BEVs.

  5. Looks like something that will be completely forgotten about in 5 yrs. NOT remotely competitive.

  6.  @rj8u  Interesting. I'm still not convinced Munro will have glowing things to say about them in final verdict, but I've never been on board with Sandy on H2. Having a prototype that 'works' (ostensibly, short trip empty isn't entirely convincing) is a far cry from production which is still a long way from a viable company. I'll be very surprised if they exist in 5 yrs.

  7. (I stand corrected that this wasn't the FCEV version, but BEV)

  8.  @D0li0  Everyone has the right to be wrong sometimes, Sandy also confidently predicted 5 months ago that FSD would be ready by yr end when that was obviously not the case , he didn't realize what FSD was attempting to be. Take every source for what they have to offer, there never was a time when one can be so lazy as to subscribe to everything anyone else thinks. Conversely, a wise man can learn something even from an idiot. I knew a very bright if arrogant engineer who was working at a service station repair garage back in the day while in college--he was struggling with a tiny spring for carburetor (fiddly things they can be) and a coworker that he estimated to be the dumbest dude on Earth walked past, showed him a little trick that made it right in seconds. That's when he realized he could learn SOMETHING from anyone. :D

  9.  @Zorkmid123  Sure. I don't think the economics of FCEVs are close to competitive but there will be exceptions, niches where they may exist in small numbers. As to if Tesla say, can make the 500 mile semi without compromising payload remains to be seen in my eyes, but Elon has pulled off bigger surprises than that. For shorter range FCEV semi is doomed IMO, simply no reason for the extra upfront cost, complexity, and triple the fueling cost.

  10.  @lockbert99  I'll give NKLA 5 or 10 yrs to prove to my satisfaction that they are viable just as I did with Tesla. I don't think they will be around that long but it will be interesting to see. Hopefully Trevor will be stripped of ALL his wealth as a token of justice and recouping to shareholders.

  11.  @GoCoyote  OIC...only spot checked it wasn't that interested in the whole thing. No question there is room for many players in that space. As for a viable company, that's a whole nother thing.

  12.  @Zorkmid123  No diesel semi would ever be sold with only 350 mile range.

  13.  @brandoYT  Yes of course.
