They certainly think so.

Definitely looks better than Tesla.

That's a damn good looking truck.
I wouldn't pay $100k for it. But if they price them competitive with a new Sierra, then I would consider it.

A set of LED truck nuts would look nice on it.

Is this company really using Tesla's first name or is that just coincidence?

Looks like every other truck on the market

$60K for the 300 mile range version (battery only)
$80K for the 600 mile range version (with Fuel cell)

It is funny that you have Tesla and Nikola.

How do they charge, not counting charging up at home?

I'm sure the battery charges up at any of the available electric charging stations, but no idea on how many hydrogen fueling stations there are around the US.

If they can get those prices down by ~$30k they would rule the automotive roost (if they could meet demand, that is).

From what I have read all they have are renderings of vehicles. No prototypes, not even a factory.
eta: Also, their only minuscule revenue is from the owner having solar panels installed on his own home. Some are calling this company the next Theranos.
*There is apparently a video of a semi and they say they have a German factory. They have only "broken ground" on the US factory.

Between this and the Rivian hopefully the future is bright for electric trucks.

There's a master plan on their website for fuel stations to be installed around the nation. Aggressive for a company that only has renderings of their vehicle.

Meh....... it's a truck and I can almost bet that the range on this thing is NOT a combined 600 miles.

Hydrogen Fueling Station Locations
The question is whether or not Nikola can do what Tesla did for charging stations. It was fair a few years back to doubt Tesla on this but they had the funding and you can charge all over the damn place. I wouldn't purchase this based off of hydrogen just yet but hopefully they make it happen

I love the down votes but it is true. The only difference is it has the baw lights already installed for you guys
