Thoughts Regarding Nikola electric truck

I think power wise, it'll be OK. It's supposed to have a little better power to weight ratio that my Fiat and I drive highway every day. The on ramp on the way to the work is a little shorter than average on a slight incline and I can get to 70 MPH before the end of it. I can't speculate how it will be in snow/ice, but I can't see it being any worse than other front wheel drive cars. I live in PA with lots of hills, so that's kind of important to me too.

 

the Excelsior-Henderson of trucks.

all kinds of excitement and fanfare for those (ugly) motorcycles. a factory equipped to make 20K a year...and they made 1,950 then closed up shop and stuck all the investors..

 

They're really not hard to find...

 

My current truck cost with all maintenance and repairs is $36-3800 / month. My fuel is $4500/month . If their numbers are accurate they work for me. Wonder what this thing will cost to insure. I currently pay $1100/month. This will cost at least twice that.

 

My old numbers are obselete like decades ago when I purchased a tractor. (Better that I did not, then again you learn by doing...) your numbers appear to be in line what others have mentioned on this site in regards to costs of ownership.

Maybe one day the costs of owning equiptment like 18 wheelers will no longer be objects of state secrecy and rather used as teaching tools to prepare anyone who wants in buying tractor and or trailers in this industry to move it forward.
