"As Nikola pivoted to the next generation of trucks, it ultimately decided not to invest additional resources into completing the process to make the Nikola One drive on its own propulsion."

Priceless newspeak.

@mods - as per comment to poster of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24470043 , would you care to delete my post here? The Electrek article is good - even if it isn't as funny as Nikola's tortured press release ;-)

I also posted a discussion[1] about an article by Electrek that actually looks into the claims of the press release.

Ah, I was just about to edit my comment to add that article link. Probably best if you add the Nikola PR link to your piece, and I'll make a plea to mods to delete mine.

I edited my comment to include a link to the press release itself.

Cool. I added my delete plea to the mods. Cheers!
