Nikola at start showed some wrong sheets , but now they are in perfect mode and if they struggle and keep at the same pace definitely these models will shine our future. So, let’s wait and be part of our environment change as it’s zero emission. Nikola ( some companies already trusted you guys and already you guys reached 80% and you guys are very near to finish line don’t give up and be part of game changer)

We’ve already seen what happens when an Ecar throws a tantrum and decides to do things its own way I wonder if we are ready for the devastation one of these fully loaded ET’s will do if they decide to do things their way on a crowded highway! There’s enough chaos OTR now without having big trucks with their own minds out there adding to it!
