BREAKING BAD NIKOLA $NKLA
Debunk of Nikola’s hydrogen fuel cell competitive advantage claim on weight
Trevor Milton’s 3-part schtick:
a) Truckers get paid 50¢ per lb
b) Nikola Two weighs 10,000 lb less than BEV
c) A lot of trucks run full 80,000 lb GVW loads

Does anyone actually believe truckers get paid 50¢ per lb & make millions of dollars a year?
A per-mile pay is by far the most common type of base pay in the trucking industry & the rate can vary between 28¢ to 45¢ per mile according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics

Does anyone believe the Nikola Two is 10,000 lb lighter than a battery-electric Class 8 semi-tractor?
The actual difference in weight is less than 4,000 lb and with battery improving continuously, this difference will keep decreasing over time

Does anyone believe most Class 8 tractor-trailers haul full 80,000 lb GVW loads in the U.S.?
More than 90% of hauls weigh less than 73,000 lb, which means a semi-tractor can easily weigh up to 7,000 lb more without it having any effect on the weight of the cargo he carries

Nikola’s entire weight advantage argument is complete bullshit!
The numerous disadvantages of hydrogen fuel cell trucks are however very real: fuel availability, monopoly & cost, energy efficiency, inspections, maintenance, breakdowns, lifespan, safety hazards, etc. $NKLA
