Nikola is following the classic Tesla playbook (remember the Cybertruck’s shattered windows, the infamous FSD video, or Elon’s settlement with the SEC?) but doesn’t have enough True Believers infesting the Internet.
You also stated at one point, "This is based on my own data, owning multiple Teslas over four years."
So... why? Why do you do this?
I don't get these people. I'm not sure if they are paid shills, or true believers. I suspect there's a bit of both to be found. But I will say this: in my estimation the haters outnumber the fanboys by at least a factor of 100.
I don't think paid troll farms were really a thing in 2006. They are now, and you see less apple dissent. So I'm not inclined to think these things are related.
The analogy would have worked if Trevor had actually tried to drive the "fully functional" vehicle that wasn't a "pusher" around. Even if it had failed, then we'd have seen the truth there too.
Nikola has a truck that goes downhill
