Great episode. Love the open-minded curiosity.

I think you need to do a side by side demo with some long time truckers each having a turn at the wheel, driving from LA to Flagstaff with conventional diesel tractor and full load with a Nikola paired up with similar load. It'd be great to see facial reactions of the "old timers"!

SO Excited about these. Thank you to all companies working on sustainable vehicles, doing important work.

Nice Truck, I wish them the best. 🤗

Good, knowledgeable conversation

Great video! Glad that there is options for the businesses. And we will see if hydrogen trucks can survive. The biggest hurdle is the total cost of ownership for the company using hydrogen vehicles.

Great work 👍

Thanks Kyle for this wonderful review of Nikola Motors. Your channel is the most unbiased and I and my coworkers always enjoy your reviews of cars and companies. I am loving this small company Nikola Motors. It looks like they are almost the only game in town as far as Hydrogen powered truck fleet is concerned. Others do not even have their charging infrastructure yet, but Nikola already has their HYLA charging infrastructure, which is wonderful. What if 99.99% of investors are overlooking Nikola Motors Corp? That makes me really put down my money and bought my first 500 shares at 65 to 73 cents per share. I may continue to accumulate as the company continue to progress towards a sustainable growth, profitability and worldwide acceptance with new partnerships, etc. Loving it. I always buy company stocks when the companies are still small, disruptive in nature, and not followed by institutional investors yet.

Kyle you need to get a class A license!

Now lets do a Cummins X15 hydrogen ICE swap

i would have liked to know the maintenance involved with the Hydrogen/ Fuel cell trucks. Especially the Fuel Cell unit. How many km will it run? cost involved to change it etc.

The biggest issue I still have with hydrogen is the enormous cost needed to switch. It’s taken years to build the diesel network and it will take years to switch fuels. EV requires less infrastructure if you take replenishment into account. If it’s made on site it would requires more money time and manpower

so...how much does the tractor weigh by itselself and how much can it legalky tow?? what the weight capacity on the axles?

Please, what are all the pings and chimes in the truck demo? Thank you.

Seat belt is not on for passenger I think

Looks like a well made and competent truck for sure, but I'm not sold on hydrogen yet. Even if just for large class trucks. I think what the guys at Edison motors have with their diesel hybrid is the best interim solution until better technologies and infrastructure become available. Yeah, they still burn diesel, but quite a bit less and can burn as clean as possible all the time since the generator continuously runs at peak efficiency. BEV and/or hydrogen hybrid might work for those strictly metro routes.

Great video, i wonder why they didn't decide to have a supercapcitor module for high regen or for heavy power demands to even out the demand on the battery. It might make the battery last a bit longer, and would allow for more regen energy to be captured and used. But i do realise that it would add weight and complexity and remove payload capacity. And i remeber the London Routemaster replacement bus that James May drove in his Top Gear days, had a Lithium Titatate Battery as part of its Hybrid system, its a heavier with less capacity compared to NCM/NCA and LFP but is overall the safest lithium battery tech i've seen. With the advantage of tens of thousands of cycle life and can be charged with massive C rates and not really care. So saying that. I wonder if theyll go to LTO, as i would worry about NCM/NCA being anywhere near hydrogen.

YEARS AGO, The USDOT restricted simi truck/trailer combos to a max of 65ft bumper to bumper so the industry went COE (cab over engine) to save a few feet for the trailer. ALSO back then trailers were limited to 40ft MAX. So you only had 25ft for tractor. TODAY, Europe has a similar restriction thats why Europe/UK all drive COE. Today, trailers can go to 53ft. WALMART Canada has a special use permit & they are experimenting with 65ft trailers in Ca BUT those trailers cannot come across the US border. Nokola builds only COE because they intent to export to Europe/UK. !

Are the tires on the rear US spec? They look tiny

Holler 🔥 and everyone starts running to safety... In the case of #NKLA, even with the recent cash woes of doing business while handling recalls and selling products at a loss, this company is about to disrupt the entire trucking industry!!!

That's why it was a no-brainer for me to pull the trigger and purchase a few thousand shares! I own #Tesla too, but it wouldn't surprise me if Tesla bought this company! ❤

Where is the hill?

The first thing I noticed, that the lower air dam radiators are going to get destroyed from rocks.

With all the hydrogen vehicles I have to wonder why they are not some kind of „plugin hybrid“. They already have a battery ‒ and the battery here is quite big already. It shouldn't be that much additional cost to have the charging connector (DC only, to avoid having to add the onboard charger) and it could add a bit of range (cheaper at that) during that 20 minut fueling stop / 30 minute shift switch pause.

@@buddy1155 Well, diesel doesn't explode so "the same amount of explosive energy" doesn't mean a whole lot. Even inside the engine, the flame front is subsonic so it's a deflagration rather than a detonation (explosion). Any more stupid replies or is that enough to deflate your snarky bullshit? The primary safety issue is you have a carbon fiber tank at 10,000 PSIG (700 bar). If the tank fails, it splits open and goes pop. If the failure happens to be on the front of the tank, the cab will be obliterated along with anyone in it. You can go ahead and search for videos about CNG tank ruptures for a rough idea of what this looks like... but remember that CNG operates at "only" 200-250 bar. All that said, though, it's fairly safe. CNG trucks are more common than you might realize and in the US where we have actual enforcement of laws regarding inspections and maintenance, incidents are low. The tanks do have a lifespan and should be replaced depending on how old they are and how many cycles they've been through. For CNG tanks it's typically 15-20 years but again those operate at 250 bar max so 700 bar tanks might have a shorter life. Of course, if the tank gets any damage more than a minor scratch, it should get replaced...

Oxygen entering the fuel cell through the air intake system combines with hydrogen to form water, so 70 kg of hydrogen can produce 630 kg of water. What type of exhaust system does this truck have with that much water? I think the water needs to be drained constantly so as not to reduce the payload. What about road safety? Otherwise, the water will have to evaporate.

So fundamentally the Hydrogen is being burned in an internal combustion engine (ICE) with over 700 plus moving parts...plus the production / storage & distribution of hydrogen costs energy. But at least the tailpipe emissions are H2O.

500 miles? Disappointing that all the additional complexity of a hydrogen fuelled generator on top of a battery electric doesn't exceed the Tesla Semi. If they try to sell these at the same price as Tesla, they will very likely have much smaller margin :\ The cabin is really nice, but you don't need a sleeper cab for something that can only drive for 1 day. On a more positive note, it would be really great to have Telsa and Nikola take over from the diesel Class 8 market and then literally the biggest vehicles on roads will be Nikola Tesla.

These trucks look nice but have no power. I met someone that works for Walmart and they don't have enough power to make it up the hill fully loaded. So they only use them locally.

Nikola has the best electric truck currently on the market (although Tesla's Semi will be much better it finally arrives), so I think that Nikola will succeed as a company. The hydrogen truck, however, will never go anywhere, because it costs 5 to 10 times more per mile than Tesla's Semi. (See my calculations in another comment).

Nikola has something great. But, as a current truck driver of 15 years, it's not really practical, atleast for the long haul drivers like myself. If you run from California to Arizona, I can see this being awesome. Because of the CARB regulations rolling out, this might be the only option for getting freight in and out of California. As cost goes, it's very expensive, just for fueling the semi, and god only knows the cost of the truck itself. A regular diesel truck with a sleeper berth is around $225,000. I could imagine this truck going for atleast $350,000 plus. Which means only the major carriers can afford this equipment. Unfortunately, the major carriers only make up about 8% of the trucking industry and the other 92% owner operators and small fleets. I had my name down for one of their semi truck 7 years ago when they first announced it. It will be out of the question for me at this point. Wish you the best nikola.
