To be fair they did ground break a factory site in Coolidge, AZ back in July. The only problem is there is barely any construction activity going on. If you compare the progress on Tesla Austin and Tesla Berlin the difference is staggering.

Yep. Tesla waited quite a while before its IPO, relatively speaking. They had good success and press from the Roadster, the Model S was well documented and around the corner. 

“This is yet another reason these concept story electric car makers should remain in the private sector UNTIL the products are real and the cash flows sustainable”

This doesn’t surprise me.

And people still talk shit about Tesla...

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.

Had dinner with a senior exec a few years back, and it came up that we had made a deposit on a few Nikola trucks. My immediate reply was “Well might as well go ahead and write that loss off now.” Fast forward a few years and.....yep, still not shocked they haven’t produced anything “real” yet....

Holy shit, that looks good. Especially in white.

Hopefully once they get the big models up and running and make a profit, they can reinvest that in a smaller, more affordable, compact model. 

Hope Lucid is paying you well for the 3 advertisements. Plus the pop-up McDongers ads, and the every other picture is an ad. Jalopnik can sick a duck.

I don’t think racism is an exclusively American problem, unfortunately.

You are not an intelligent person and nobody cares about you.

Calm down. You’ll get your Darwin Award soon enough.

Go play on the freeway you fucking moron.

Your brain cells when your mom drank while pregnant with you.

So you’ve always been a dumbass.

This is exactly why the Carbon Motors E7 would be the perfect police car. Once its service commission is over, Carbon would recycle the car’s most vital parts and sell it to another law enforcement agency. These cars were never meant to be sold to the public, not even at auction.

The first thing to say is that of course the investigation from the NYPD is completely in support of the driver who slammed into the protesters, none of whom were seriously injured

Copsplay.

I think the cosplay community would have an issue with you using their word for someone committing a felony impersonating an undercover officer with intent to kill.
