As the new technology hype machine works in overdrive, it’s time to take a deep breath and concentrate on product releases that we can experience for ourselves and drive. Remember those?

Nikola Corporation reacts to a Hindenburg Research report detailing fraud and misrepresentation by the hydrogen fuel cell and electric automaker.
Nikola gets the manufacturing partner it needs to deliver on mass producing the electric and fuel cell variants of the Nikola Badger pickup truck.
Nikola and Republic Services will partner on a battery-electric refuse recycling-collection truck based on the Nikola Tre chassis, a single platform with integrated bodies, service, and warranty.
