I wonder the extent to which Trevor Milton’s shenanigans at Nikola Motors have made life more difficult for other entrepreneurs in this space.

“Our tech works in the lab. Simple math shows it can be competitive in the market. Now, we’re focusing on scaling the tech.” Those words make sense when coming from a genuine effort that could succeed. Those words are therefore copied by charlatans as well.

I have no reason to think Prometheus is in the latter camp, but the presence of that camp makes life harder for them I think.
