I am not involved in this world at all... but is this common? Can you really expose your own ignorance in this way and also manage to keep investors?
``` But the Nikola truck is more than just a fuel cell vehicle; it’s a rolling super computer. One of the key elements of Nikola’s advanced system is the Bosch Vehicle Control Unit, which provides higher computing power for advanced functions while reducing the number of standalone units.
"The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate." ```
So… a Bosch ECU? That's hardly new. Bosch is one of the largest players in the market -- Ford, GM, BMW, and VW (among others) have been using their ECUs for ages.
Javascript and CSS to replace the CAN-BUS? That'd be funny..
To spin the tyres you just need to add the CSS style: { animation:spin 4s linear infinite; }
And reduce the duration to make the truck go faster..

So the short answer is that no, you can't keep investors in the long run, but it takes time for journalists, watchdog groups, and federal agencies to do thorough investigations.
Listen to him talk about Nikola in interviews. In an interview he said "before WeWork it was really easy to get money but now investors ask more questions." His interviews are filled with answers from this perspective and it's quite bizarre how no one noticed this.
I noticed that he also makes false statements in the video. Nikola has zero active routes,that's a lie.
