    GM shocked the industry when they partnered with EV startup Nikola to make an electric truck. But nobody expected the controversy that would follow. Is GM making a huge mistake? Is Nikola a scam company? Will the Badger be a total fail? Nolan does a deep dive on allegations of fraud, scandalous lawsuits, and all the controversy surrounding the deal.

    I like how Nikola claimed they build "Functioning", "Fully Built" & "In Motion" Prototype without explaining how the prototype powered itself. I mean it's technically true that it seems fully built by making the entire 3D model, functioning by making the lights turn on or in motion by let it roll down the hill. But that's not what the people expected, Trevor. People expected you to build self-propeled example that you can Drive in it, not a lifesize Matchbox model

    Fun fact: the biggest con man in automotive history (I cant remember his name) but he sold the “dale” car. It was during the oil crisis, when gas was expensive. He sold a car that would “get 80 miles to a gallon”. Lots of people ordered them. It literally didn’t have an engine, or any other part of the drivetrain. It was made of self tapping screws, plywood and elmers glue.

They were claiming that it was a ready to work production model but couldn't answer basic questions about safety, functionality, or serviceability. Basic questions that customers would be asking if they expected to buy one.

    The whole hardcore push for pure EV (meaning battery powered) is a bad move in any case, but definitely a bad move for trucks. That said, what DOES make absolutely all the sense in the world is to have trucks running a diesel engine as a generator but using electric motors for the drivetrain. You bypass all the problems current batteries have but still take advantage of the incredible torque that's always on demand. That's the right way to do things until we get the battery shit sorted out.

So even if the company didn't succeed, GM would not lose. They are getting paid for the fuel cells, batteries and manufacturing straight out. Whether the car sells after.... Not really GMs problem. They got their 11% for free. If Nikola goes under, GM looses of course all of their investment. All of 0$, since GM got the shares for merely being willing to humor Nikola.
