When Nikola and GM announced a partnership on September 8, GM said [gm.com] it expected the deal to close by September 30. Now September 30 has arrived, and the deal hasn't closed. Media reports indicate [cnbc.com] that the deal is unlikely to close today.

A GM spokesman confirmed the delay in an email to Ars. "Our transaction with Nikola has not closed. We are continuing our discussions with Nikola and will provide further updates when appropriate."
[...]
September 30 isn't a hard deadline. According to Nikola's regulatory filing [sec.report] about the deal, the transaction can be terminated by either party if it hasn't closed by December 3. So talks between the companies could drag on for another two months.
