If somebody is interested in how the Nikola Trucks drive, there is a great YouTube channel from a German truck driver, that drives the European version (IVECO) of the Nikola truck on a daily basis across Europe.

That's a wildly misleading way of wording that.

Iveco make trucks and vans and buses. Nikola bought some of them and rebadged them and tried to pass them off as their own revolutionary prototypes. There's a YouTuber driving the real thing, which is entirely unrelated to Nikola in any way.

Thanks for pointing that out, I don't know a lot about Nikola and the Icevo partnership. The YouTube channel is still worth watching.
