DETROIT (Reuters) - Missed out on the Tesla rally but still want to surf the electric vehicle wave?
A stream of EV-related startups backed by blank-check firms are lining up to go public so there's plenty of choice. But like Tesla in the early days, few have products ready to sell or any likelihood of generating significant revenue anytime soon.
Instead, investors will be relying on rosy production, sales and revenue forecasts for new cars, trucks and batteries, all set to be jostling for a slice of markets that will be far more crowded than when Tesla's cars first hit the road.
Take Fisker Inc, for example. It was launched in 2016, just three years after the bankruptcy of its predecessor and early Tesla rival Fisker Automobile.
In July, Fisker Inc announced a $2.9 billion reverse merger deal with Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), and is planning to go public later this year.
It has no revenue and its Fisker Ocean electric sports-utility vehicle (SUV) is at least two years away from production in a project heavily dependent on nailing down deals with partners who will build the car and provide key components.
That's not particularly unique for young companies in the sector looking to use SPACs to go public and bypass the scrutiny of a traditional IPO process, according to company presentations and interviews with executives and investors.
That also didn't seem to be an issue earlier this year when U.S. electric truck maker Nikola Motors used a SPAC to go public. Shares in the company that hopes to generate revenue next year almost trebled after listing on the Nasdaq exchange.
But they slumped when a short-seller questioned whether founder Trevor Milton had made false claims about Nikola's technology, forcing the 38-year-old entrepreneur to step down as executive chairman - and making some investors more cautious.
Nikola and Milton have publicly rejected the accusations and have threatened to take legal action against the short-seller, Hindenberg Research.
"Good storytelling is an important component of being a good founder and entrepreneur - but it better not be the only component," says Evangelos Simoudis, managing partner and founder of startup investor Synapse Partners.
'IT'S A FORECAST'
Fisker Inc's founder Henrik Fisker is well known in the industry, for designing sports cars such as Aston Martin's Vantage, and for his failed EV firm Fisker Automobile that went bust in 2013 after burning through more than $1 billion.
Fisker Automotive missed targets on revenue, pricing, production and sales before the collapse of its battery supplier forced it to suspend production of its Fisker Karma, which first reached customers about two years later than planned and sold for a much higher price than originally announced.
This time around, he is confident he has learned from his mistakes and won't be one of the startups planning to go public that fails to meet investors' expectations.
"A lot of them will not succeed in launching a successful product on time ... that's just a fact," he told Reuters. "The question then is how much are investors willing to forgive?"
He also said Nikola's woes should make potential investors look closer at what they were buying into.
"It probably was a bit of a wake-up call for investors to really dig a little deeper into these deals and maybe think about what are the real costs and effort to take to get a vehicle to market and maybe understand a little more about how difficult and complicated this industry is," Fisker said.
Investors say Fisker Inc shares some characteristics with other young automotive startups, such as a difficulty in raising funds from private investors and optimistic projections for revenue and profits, as well as production.
Its Ocean prototype is a stylish mid-size SUV with a base price target of $37,500 and production set to start in late 2022. It will enter a market that is soon to be crowded by Tesla's Model Y, Ford Motor's Mustang Mach E, VW's <VOWG_p.DE> ID.4 and at least half a dozen other brands.
The Ocean's price target is $2,500 below the ID.4, which goes on sale later this year at just under $40,000.
In its presentation to investors in July, Fisker Inc said it expected to produce 175,000 cars in 2024, earning revenue of $10.6 billion and pretax profit of $2 billion that year.
"This is not only based on the Fisker Ocean. We are planning other vehicles as well," said Fisker. "It's a reasonable, good forecast and at the end of the day it's a forecast. It's not something anybody can guarantee."
"When you're a new car company and specifically when you make electric vehicles, it's almost impossible to really forecast what your sales will be," he told Reuters.
ON SCHEDULE
Bill Rinna, director of Americas vehicle forecasts at LMC Automotive, projects total U.S. EV sales in 2024 will just top 1 million. Tesla could account for half that volume, with GM, Ford and VW taking significant shares as well, analysts say.
Trade publication Automotive News predicts nearly 100 new pure electric and hybrid electric vehicles will go on sale in the United States by 2024.
Fisker Inc boasts an "asset light" business model that is heavily dependent on using partners both for a vehicle platform and a manufacturing plant - neither of which were locked in before it announced its SPAC deal in July.
Fisker also said then it was negotiating with VW to use its MEB electric car platform and related components for the Ocean.
On Oct. 15, Fisker announced a preliminary deal with Canadian auto parts supplier Magna International, which has agreed to assemble the Ocean at one of its European plants and to provide the mechanical platform for the vehicle.
In an SEC filing the same day, Spartan Energy warned investors that Fisker and Magna "have not entered into a binding definitive agreement" to build the Ocean. The filing also noted that Fisker does not have a deal with VW to use its platform and is still negotiating a parts supply deal.
Asked whether the Ocean's production timetable was still on track, Fisker said: "All I can tell you is we are on the time schedule."
SHARE SLIDE
In the wake of Nikola's setbacks, investor concerns about potential red flags for other auto startups backed by SPACs have started to hit the shares of the blank-check companies.
"When you have no product and zero revenue, it comes down to the story that you're telling," said Marc Weiser, co-founder of investor RPM Ventures. "In the case of companies with unproven potential, it's pure speculation - and huge risk."
Nikola shares slumped from June high of $93.99 to just $16.15 on Sept. 24 but since have recovered slightly to $22.24. Shares in Fisker's backer Spartan Energy are at $12.27, down from a July peak of $21.58.
Shares in DiamondPeak Holdings, which is backing Lordstown Motors, are down 33% from their September peak and Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp, which is behind battery maker QuantumScape, are down 45%.
Two-year-old Lordstown Motors hopes to pit its $52,500 Endurance electric pickup late next year against rivals from Tesla, Ford, General Motors, Rivian, Nikola and others.
Lordstown and DiamondPeak told investors in September the truckmaker projects revenue of $3.5 billion and pretax profit of $300 million in 2023.
Ten-year-old battery startup QuantumScape has a promising new solid-state battery cell and financial backing from Volkswagen, but has said it is years away from commercial production and meaningful revenue.
Whether fund managers dangling blank-check deals will pursue a more cautious approach in the post-Nikola environment, despite the potential red flags, remains an open question.
But with Nikola as a cautionary tale, and Fisker sparking additional concerns, some investors have become more choosy.
"We will spend much more of our time and our focus on companies that are already in revenue or ... are soon to be in revenue," Barry Engle, former president of General Motors North America and head of Qell Acquisition Corp, which is evaluating EV-related startups.

Humbled trader review
Humble Traders is Forex educational website selling a $199 trading system and a $60 per month trading signal service.
Posted performance of supposed trading signals look excellent.
But not verifiable.
Owner of the company, Roman Sadowski is certainly a nice person but could provide no proof that he is actually trading with a live trading account.
There is simply no possible way to verify if the results are real or faked.
The website contains many useful articles on technical trading indicators and insights into Forex fundamental analysis. Everything is well written.
Thanks for reading today’s review of Humble Traders
What is Humble Traders? The website is a Forex educational business and a live trading signals service. There are two primary trading products available for purchase:
- $199 Momentum Reversal Strategy. A 50-page E-book that describes a trading strategy that supposedly earned a 58% return in 2016.
- $60 per month trading signal service. Which includes daily technical analysis, and fundamental analysis.
The business is a owned and operated by a person named Roman Sadowski, operating out of Warsaw, Poland.
Track Record of Signal Service
The Humble Traders website contains a list of trading signals that were supposedly provided to paying subscribers of the $60 per month signal service. The track record looks very impressive, screenshot below:
Humble Traders Equity Curve
For a more detailed breakdown of trades offered through the daily trading service, a spreadsheet of trades was provided by Roman Sadowski. The spreadsheet of trades can be viewed through the following link:
A closer review of the trades reveals that the signals typically last several days. I would consider this be ‘swing trading’ on daily charts. The service typically generates one trade per week.
Verifying Performance
TradingSchools.Org conversed with Roman Sadowski directly in an effort to verify that he was actually trading the signals from his $60 per month service. What we really wanted to see were redacted account statements that verified the above performance.
As much as TradingSchools.Org would sincerely love to believe the claims of success from every trading vendor on the internet, experience has taught us that 99.9% of the performance claims of trading vendors are bogus. As much as I enjoyed speaking with Roman, I needed to see proof.
Unfortunately, Roman could not provide any proof that he is actually trading with a live Forex trading account. Instead, he offered the following explanation:
I don’t use any online software to keep track of my trading. I simply have nor need or time for it. I won’t be in the position to show you my real trading accounts as I trade other people’s equity and I cannot disclose it. Hope you understand.
The top 10, most common excuses that I hear from trading signal providers regarding account statements is as follows:
- I cannot provide proof because it’s against the law. (It’s not)
- I switched brokers recently and I cannot access my old account statements.
- My account statements are irrelevant because it is impossible to copy another person’s trades.
- My wife say’s that it might reveal our personal identity and someone crazy might visit us.
- I don’t want the tax authorities to discover how much income I actually earn.
- My rivals might use my account statements to market their own trading products.
- My rivals will be able to figure out my secret strategy.
- I work for an exclusive hedge fund and my boss will fire me if they discover that I am selling company secrets.
- I trade for a bank or hedge fund and cannot show company account statements.
- I am a very private person. I don’t really need this extra income from selling signals, making this extra money is not that important to me.
Now, I am not calling Roman Sadowski a con-artist or Forex hustler. But the truth is that his excuse definitely makes the top 10 list of most common excuses.
Recommendation
Most Forex brokers will accept accounts as small as $100.
A person can trade micro lots.
I recommend that Roman, and anyone else that TradingSchools.Org review to open a teeny, tiny Forex
Start small!
account and at least build a verifiable track record of trading. Some vendors are nervous that I am going to publish a negative article based on the account size. As if I were a shallow female that complained about the size of her boyfriend’s tiny penis. On the contrary, size doesn’t matter! At least to me.
What really matters is that the vendor can provide some sort of proof that they are actually taking trades. Performance can be based upon percentage returns.
The truth of the matter is that most trading vendors, looking to ‘sell trading signals’ are just small time traders themselves. Or are looking to supplement their trading income.
Other small-time trading signal providers are cash poor, but rich in efforts. Suppose that an educator is a whip-smart computer programmer and has designed a definable trading bias that can be exploited. But they have five hungry mouths to feed, and they live in Venezuela. They have little money but are rich in knowledge. Surely even the most desperate person can scrape together $100 to open a Forex trading account.
What I like about Humble Traders
Although Humble Traders has no verifiable track record, there is something that I really like about Roman Sadowski. His marketing efforts. For those of you reading this article, and you sell anything online, Humble Traders is a template on how to be successful with online marketing.
Normally, when you think “online marketing”, you naturally think “online scam”. But with Roman Sadowski, this guy is an excellent online marketer. For instance, the articles on his website regarding technical analysis are all highly ranked on Google for very valuable keywords. Thousands of people each month will search for keywords regarding common technical analysis techniques and trading. Roman has written a series of highly detailed and relevant articles that Google is ranking on page one.
The articles are all very well written. Highly researched. And very entertaining. He is an excellent writer. And Google has rewarded him with a steady stream of free search engine traffic. The net effect is that all of this traffic naturally dovetails into his for-sale trading products. For the guys that sell trading products, and I know that many of you read this blog, you should be analyzing the marketing efforts of Humble Traders.
Wrapping things up
Thanks for reading. This review was an adventure into a lukewarm jacuzzi. Nothing hot or very interesting to report about Humble Traders. They guy isn’t a scammer. But he needs a track record. That one thing that truly sets him apart from the multitude of competitors all doing the same thing, selling trading signals. Hopefully Roman reads this article takes my advice to heart. Would love to come back later, and write a much more positive review. But I need actual, verifiable trading performance. This is what my readers expect.

Private API
Private API keys are used for reading data from Klaviyo and manipulating some sensitive objects such as lists.
Treat Private API keys like passwords kept in a safe place and never exposed to the public.
There may be multiple Private API Keys associated with an individual Klaviyo account.
An API key simply identifies you.
If there is a public/private distinction, then the public key is one that you can distribute to others, to allow them to get some subset of information about you from the api.
The private key is for your use only, and provides access to all of your data.
API key is like a password to use the backend of some software. (API=Application Programming Interface)
Private key is a secret used to "encrypt" (and in some cases, decrypt) some information (for instance, transactions on a blockchain).
As far as Bitcoin is concerned, the two aren't related, though you may see them in the same place. The private key is how you keep your Bitcoin wallet secure. You may also use an API key to make requests against the exchange storing those Bitcoin.
level 2
Technicially the API key is also a private key ;) But yes here, private key always means the key to an bitcoin address.
