Not so subtly trading off of the Tesla name. I’m surprised they haven’t been sued for trademark infringement.

Perhaps the CEO of Nikola admires Nikola Tesla just as much as the founders of Tesla. Why doesn't he have the right to use Nikola, just as much as the car company?

Tesla will be lucky to be in business in a few years anyway. The company is run by a con artist/liar, the cars aren't reliable (see Consumer Reports latest) and the resale will plummet as time goes on because the battery has a roughly 8 year lifespan and will need to be replaced.

A new Model S Tesla battery lists at $40,000 + tax and installation. A new Nissan Leaf battery costs $5,000 + tax and installation. And wait until these Tesla owners have to wait in line just to get to the charger- to spend another 45 minutes twiddling their thumbs. Maybe they'll call it "Charger Rage".
