  1. With 20 years / 1 million miles, I’m not sure it’s an issue.

  2. Tesla are getting better at the battery management so... yes - but these are still not LFPs.

  3. My understanding is that they’re currently slightly too long for Europe.

  4. Couldn’t that happen to any car? And couldn’t it have been rescued by any kind of car? Methinks you have an agenda.

  5. The Production EV Saloon car record is for a specific audited lap for all entries, your comment is meaningless.

  6. @ There are limits to PV efficiency. You don’t understand demographics. Cluelessness confirmed Blocked

  7. Good point, although I suspect that planes for hops of less than 300 miles(?) will go electric. Of course with all the frantic R&D going on in the battery space, it’s possible someone might solve the energy density problem for electricity storage, but we’re probably looking at 20-50 years.

  8. Car dealers are obsolete… …and nothing of value is lost 🤣

  9. The U.K. is currently having to import massive amounts of power from France because it’s winter here, dark most of the time, and it’s been cloudy for weeks so the nation’s solar panels are generating virtually zero. Now apply those conditions to solar powered cars and you won’t even get off your driveway.

  10. Not at their current scale they can’t, and most of legacy auto are massively in debt.

  11.  @desertdan100  you’re missing the point, the productivity of the panels is given in litres at STP (standard temperature and pressure) when it’s density is 0.083 g/Li. Sam then calculated the mass of hydrogen produced using the density of LIQUID hydrogen which is 71.1 g/Li. In my opinion the article quoted the yield by volume in a deliberate attempt to trick people into thinking it’s good. The key here is that the efficiency of the panels is half that of PVs, not 500x better.

  12. Hydrogen is hopelessly inefficient

  13. It’s because he’s the best candidate.
    2
  14. Or save much more by switching to EVs.
    2
  15. Pedestrian safety is worse for trucks like the F-150 and Tesla driver assist greatly reduces collisions with pedestrians.
    2
  16. You probably make the same nonsense claim for Hegarty.
    2
  17. Blatant nonsense, the roof area of a factory is nowhere near enough to power it in most cases. Go do the calculations and see for yourself. Also the grade of sand used for PVs is not remotely ‘free’.
    2
  18. Please provide the calculations you used to arrive at your figure.

  19. Hydrogen is hopelessly inefficient, you’re clueless.

  20. Wrong, maybe you should try actually watching the video.

  21.  @oldbloke204  good point
    2
  22. Ranges are established by independent government bodies.

  23. Whenever I see someone parking their ebike, I always go over and ask their opinion, they always say they love it and that it’s totally transformed their riding experience.

  24.  @nickmcconnell1291  Except hydrogen forms molecules of H2 while Helium is an inert gas and remains as single atoms. Helium escapes containment (leaks) more than hydrogen. The problem with hydrogen is it’s highly reactive, damages it’s containment and escapes that way.

  25. EVs only became truly viable with the full production availability of Lithium-ion batteries in around 2000 (Tesla was founded in 2003).

  26. The maximum efficiency of a PV is 33.7%.

  27. I think he meant Wright’s law. But arguably they are analogous.

  28.  @mr.zeettt6782  You realise everyone can hear from the Tesla video that you’re lying right?
    2
  29. He’s confused the gas with liquid hydrogen so he’s 500x out
    2
  30. Hydrogen is hopelessly inefficient. EVs are 4x better. The fuel cells alone are only 50% efficient and that’s after over a century of development. They’re also expensive, use precious metals and wear out.
    2
  31. More sense that charging your EV at home? You’re clueless 🙄
    2
  32. Please provide your evidence that hydrogen is a better option than EVs.
    2
  33. Where is Elon copying the Chinese?
    2
  34. Coal is being phased out in most countries. In the U.K. it’s down to 2.4%.
    2
  35. Now show your calculations for the energy stored… …oh wait, you haven’t done any, because if you had, you’d know the amount is minuscule.
    2
  36. Blatant lie, the ‘forest’ involved is monoculture farmed conifers.
    2
  37. Hydrogen is hopelessly inefficient 🤣🤡

  38. Excellent points.

  39. A Rivian on the driveway is worth two CyberTrucks in the order queue.

  40. Please tell us all how much cobalt is used in the battery pack, you’re obviously an expert so it must be easy for you, right? I won’t be holding my breath 😂
    2
  41. No, it’s nonsense.
    2
  42. When Tesla did it there was no competition. The market for $100k+ EVs is severely limited and now full of competitors. (Plus Lucid are demonstrably not ‘figuring things out’).

  43. Can’t blame Sandy for keeping his hot wife happy.

  44. Identify the car.

  45. Source?

  47. Prof. Alec Laithwaite claimed to have discovered/developed a reactionless drive back in the 70s.

  48. Musk publicly warned the OEMs NOT to use pouch cells due to the fire risk.

  49. Given the channel’s name, it’s hardly surprising he reports on EVs and batteries 🙄 He reports on ALL makes and has recently reported on VW and French EVs.

  50. You’re clueless 🙄
