GM is going to drop their battery/drivetrain and hydrogen cell in Nikola vehicles either way, and use them as a springboard into hydrogen transport truck market. They don’t really have much to lose, a lot to gain, and it seems like now more than 2 weeks ago when the partnership was announced they have more power to…

This is probably what’s best for that company, if they are actually viable.

Probably part of the deal for the GN takeover, or having to do with the fraud charges of this all being vaporware

I doubt all of what was said in that report was true, but there was probably enough truth in it to have him removed. Milton’s shares are surely still in his name, so he’ll become wealthy with Nikola’s eventual semi-success (thanks to GM) regardless of his removal.

They sort of have. I own a 10 year old chevy volt that was originally shown as a concept in 2007. Secondly, unlike Tesla GM can’t produce a fleet of electric vehicles that fall apart and have issues. That takes time and they have to get it right. While Tesla owners might be more willing to let problems slide nobody is…

At this point I think GM could give all of you a billion dollars each and you’d find a way to shit on them for it. It would seem that Jalopnik has a culture problem when it comes to GM. They’ve been making big improvements all over the place and are by far the most focused on electrification of all the major…

GM is, these days, desperate to compete with Tesla.

It even has the badge on an angle on the hatch! Yes!

Except in sales, but that’s ok

It doesn’t always work in photos, but in person, it’s an exciting car to walk up to.

Quadrasteer did both.

Hilarious if someone actually believes a product planning cycle measured in years is responsive to the whims of a few internet whiners.

CT4-V = C43 AMG = M340i = S4

“But after all the apparent backlash over the newer, cheaper, lower-powered and “less-intimidating” V cars, Cadillac is now developing hotter,”

GM did not put in $2 billion. They were granted $2 Billion in Nikola stock (11% of the company) for agreeing to design and build Nikola a version of the GM electric truck. GM will also be paid $700 million in addition to getting $2 billion in stock. Zero dollars are flowing from GM to Nikola is this partnership.

Bought the wife her Leaf this summer. $7K on the hood, $7,500 back from the Feds, Zero Percent for 72 months. 36 to choose from in a choice of colors and trim levels. Did our part for the Economy. Welcome to the Revolution. 

Thank you for the penguin. Was gonna have to burn my eyes out, otherwise.

I was just looking at an “old” Honda from 1989 that had a factory sticker under the hood with all sorts of tune-up info: spark plug type, electrode gap, normal idle speed, valve lash and ignition timing. With the exception of [50k-100k mile] spark plugs, nobody touches any of that on a modern car.
