Pulling this off in 21st century in the age of social media, govt watch dogs, media glare, and significantly learned society is just incredible. Company got listed with $34B valuation- unbelievable !

Well, technically, a truck that doesn't start is indeed zero emissions

He just got pardoned. Wtf. Dystopian times is an understatement.
@meks90
Bro made the most of that one semester studying Sales and Marketing. This has to beat the record for RoI anywhere lol.
@Crugroth
This is mind-blowing! The most successful truck company that never sold a truck!

My favourite memory of Nikola was all the fanboys on YouTube and elsewhere calling me a "hater" for thinking this was all smoke and mirrors. I'm literally howling with laughter now. Ridiculous. Thanks for the video Dagogo.
@pdeezzel
I bet in the future he donates a tiny % of all his fortunes to a politician and gets all his charges dropped... Oh wait
@Nightsd01
What really blows my mind is how Bosch, GM, etc. got fooled by this guy. This is why you really need to have senior engineers supervise the MBA types, and not the other way around.
@eaaeeeea
I think the biggest factor in him being able to pull this off is Tesla's success and people who missed that boat jumping on anything resembling a "second chance".
@domm6812
The disgusting thing is that because of how the legal system works, even if he is found guilty and goes to jail for a few years he'll still have enough money hidden away from all this to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Crime does pay.

I remember when Nikola surpassed Ford without ever selling anything; that was hilarious and my favorite part of this story.
@Carl_in_AZ
Nikola was known for Alternating Current but based on Trevor's trickery of rolling a truck down a hill he should have named the company Newton after the person that discovered gravity.
@Zeppelin9113
this guy is the embodiment of the phrase "trust me bro"
@RogerM88
The first truck Gravity assisted...Genius!
@matta.5363
How those major corporations got duped by a "snake-oil" salesman is almost amazing.
@evan
Wait... investors yoloing in all their money without doing a lick of research??? There's a few crypto-related subreddits that should watch this
@ddmarty
Amazing how his story pretty much mirros Elizabeth Holme's. Dropped out of college, started a business they had no experience in, lied to investors, put out a show that had a nonfunctioning product, based on science that did not exist. Changed the focus of the inventino midstream. And all these big companies just bought into it with zero vetting. What a great video. Thank you.

@youpigfacetv
The engineers at Fred Flintstone's auto dept are proud of Trevor. Using gravity as a propulsion system. They just needed to tow the truck on the hill and let the gravity do the work. Brilliant.
