Hydrogen FUEL CELL is the answer. Much better than EV, less pollution, less demand on the grid. Keep politics out of it.

Future predictors aren't always right. Recall all the folks right after WWII when they said most families would have an airplane in their garage. EV has a long way to go to straighten out their issues and provide a decent infrastructure.

Cybertruck hybrid will tesla even consider it. I told them if they dont pute propane and propane accessories in the front hank hill style straight up grill bottles to increase its range if thats not realistic they need to put a bigger battery in the frunk. Someone told me they putnit in the bed I was like shoot ford doesnt have a battery in the bed to drive farther. Why in tbe bed? It has too much space it has a ultra durable top cover on the bed that locks it has a frunk that locks an interior that locks with class the average guy cant bust through. All this extra space and low range. Imagine if they gutted a forklift powertrain type of system and had it in the frunk. Is that a lot of energy? A forklift gets eork done with one propane tank strapped to the back i would think once a cyber truck is up and moving at 80mph it struggles to go 300 miles a ford goes like over 500 idk. To me its such a shit situation. You have to build a whole hydrogen infrustructure and its more expensive type hardware. Theres propane tanks all over already. Idk man it could he a bad idea i think theyre going to end up putting batteries in the frunk and the bed of the cyber truck it will still lose to a ford 2.7L with the big gas tank. And the v8. And a corolla civic camry accord... so im just trying to think of something man. The truck costs so much even when we arent pulling out all the stops trying to get it to go farther

37:44 It makes sense that people are willing to pay for the next generation but it also makes sense that people are willing to pay more for the second year of the new generation than the first because of the idea that the manufacturer has worked out any kinks. I wonder, however, if you look at the CPO/used markets or the last new land cruisers on the market if people are overpaying to avoid the new, crappier ones. Especially pay attention to next year's 4runner numbers.

I love yah Roman but Nathan is right IMO.

Hydrogen seems to me to be the best fit for hybrid over the road semi trucks. Saves on weight, provides range, and semis habe the extra space 4 the massive fuel tanks. Infrastructure won't need to be as big. If your Hydrogen idea survives it will be in this application.

I want the maverick so badly.. I really hoped I could pick one up used after a few years and get one in the teens.. hasn’t been the case

The basics of electric vehicles vs gas is the elimination of a clutch and/or transmission. An 'internal combustion ENGINE' continues to run while the vehicle is sitting still. Mandating a complicated clutch system. An 'electric MOTOR' can just stop running. Create a ton of torque at low end. Rev to incredible RPM's without gears. In fact, it can assist braking and slightly recover charge. Ten years the USA will be 67% EV's.

I have had two Teslas and loved them….but went back to a diesel truck. However, I am thinking of upgrading my truck to a dually for towing and then buying a new Tesla Model 3 performance for a convenient, fun daily driver. I think in 20 years, we will be 75% electric for passenger vehicles. Trucks are staying gas/diesel for many more years.

The issue isn't whether EVs are better. The issue is that they are government mandated. Take the most popular thing you can think of (thus people like it and aren't normally inclined to oppose it) and then mandate it, a big segment of society will instantly oppose it. Why? One, because they like to oppose authority or 2) they are skeptical that the government does anything right so therefore the previously good thing won't be good anymore. Bottom line, Americans don't like to be forced to do things no matter how good the things may be.

Sorry Roman. Electric cars are far from free. And when everyone has one, electricity delivery cost will go up. Electric car technology still needs to improve. Until you can fully charge in a comparable time to gasoline and can travel a comparable distance as gasoline. In hot or cold conditions. Tow and haul comparably. People will not switch until it is in their favor to do so. And this statement is coming from a guy who drives a hybrid car and wants a hybrid truck and hopes to eventually have a full electric eventually.

I hope they read these comments.. the comparison of the EV transition to the automotive/horse&buggy transition has to be one of the most idiotic ideas I've ever heard. they are incomparable. EVs should be looked at as complementary to ICE and not a complete replacement.

Problem with electric is they are convenient when you have a home you can charge at. The housing market isn’t getting better

Ok yea but how many recalls do we have on the Maverick

The problem I see with moving towards all electric cars is access to charging. Not part of the discussion that you are talking about. I am taking about the 17% of Americans that live in either apartments or condominiums. They do not have the ability to charge at home and that would have to be rectified. Costs are coming down for EV's and so that is becoming less of an issue. For those in apartments and condos, the best they can shoot for is hybrids.

I agree that electric cars will be more relevant in 10-20 years however I agree with Nathan. Dont dismiss hydrogen so easily. It honestly makes more sense than electric in some ways. The issue was that Elon Musk shit talked hydrogen so much to sell Tesla’s so much that all his followers would never consider anything else. The issue is not only gas vs electric vs hydrogen. Many 18-40 year olds can’t afford to buy their own home. When you say it’s easy to charge at home, it’s a privileged thing to say. You own a home so there’s no doubt in your mind. Many apartment complexes are not going to shed out money to upgrade and update their electricity to have charging stations for tenants. Meanwhile, hydrogen takes 10-20 mins to fill up. Yes, there’s not the stations currently but like you said, 10 years ago there were almost no electric stations any where. Hybrids are really going to be the winner until something truly sticks out.

Toyota resale value absolutely dominant like usual. Great value, insane reliability, easy to work on, Toyota for life.

Hydrogen is the only alternative that makes sense.

Per Nathan: "I am the very model of a modern Major-General I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights..." - That aside I agree w/both the 1st 30 mins. Roman is right as far as personal vehicles, Nathan is correct as far as Commercial vehicles w/Hydrogen & other fuels. Meaning semitrucks, not just regional, talking otr and Long Heavy hauls i.e. Canadian/Alaska trips. Plus Dalton Hwy alone FAI to Prudhoe Bay those rigs & trips need sustained minimum 400 gallon tanks & ability to tow massive weight just from the trucks themselves not to mention the freight. - plus the US isn't THE ONLY Country on earth. Japan is spending nearing a trillion on their infrastructure bc it is a island nation. Facts. & they're not the only country doing so. Aviation will be using other forms of non CO2 producing fuels, as will Boom. Which is in Centennial & a major contender for taking Commercial back to Supersonic. Ask me how I know 😘😂👍. Both are right. Love seeing you 2. & the passion u both bring. & yes, one sees plenty of Trucks in LA don't kid yourself. Especially Inland empire

Electricity is not free. Charging stations are just as sketchy as gas stations. With a longer wait. Come on. Pretty weak arguments.

I agree. But I'd say it this way: In 20 years, IC cars will be relegated to hobby status.
