The company produced and wholesaled a combined 77 trucks last year.
Via its energy brand, HYLA, Nikola announced that it produced 42 of its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks and wholesaled 35 of these hydrogen trucks for its US and Canadian customers in 2023.
I’m so behind on Nikola. Last news I remember from them was when they faked their truck working by rolling it down a hill. I thought they went under but I suppose not
LOL, that was them? I wonder what the new scam is with these trucks.
Did the author just add up two numbers that they saw? The second sentence contradicts the first, stating that only 42 vehicles were produced. You can’t just add 35 from that number back to the first one.

I think I’m reading this the same way you are. And completely agree that it’s weird to add the numbers together. Lol I even went and googled the definition of wholesaled just to make sure there wasn’t another meaning.
From my reading of the 2nd sentence, it looks like they only managed to sell 35 of the 42 vehicles produced leaving 7 in inventory.
Edit to add:
UNLESS, maybe they had 35 on hand from 2022 that weren’t sold until 2023? Maybe some sort of tax advantageous situation where the sale didn’t happen until January 1st 2023? But that’s a stretch I thinkI read the article you posted and they explain what the 7 unsold units are doing.

Source for the 35 electric vehicles?

The only recent press release from them mentions 42 hydrogen vehicles, 35 of which were sold wholesale. Are you just pulling that 35 out of your ass as well?

Insults from someone who’s functionally illiterate don’t hold much water.
I already shared the PR link from them. It mentions 42 vehicles only. Do you understand that?
