In 2019, Lordstown acquired an old General Motors (NYSE:GM) factory and told Reuters the company was looking for $200 million in loans to cover the costs associated with the factory. 

Steve Burns, CEO of Lordstown, told Reuters the loan would help “us make more (vehicles) once we start” and “pull future vehicles forward a little bit.”

According to Burns, the loan is not required, but “puts things on steroids.” When asked about the loan amount, Burns wouldn't give a number, but replied with “I think you should think in terms of — this is the same loan that Tesla got."
