I was initially getting them confused with Edison, who actually have a viable product.

it is estimated that each truck costs Nikola over $1 million to manufacture, while the revenue stands at $380,000. This is not a sustainable business model for obvious reasons.

Fucking hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a scam. They're expensive to build, expensive to run, explode if the tank is punctured, and refuelling them is a massively complex endeavor, if you can even find a station.

There is no application for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that either a hybrid running on biofuel or an EV can't do better and cheaper.
