Liquid hydrogen is more dense than gas, so if you left it as a gas, you’d need a much bigger tank for the same amount of fuel.

The video goes into all of the liquid/gas/density problems in-depth.

You joke, but....

At least for me, aftermarket modification is a red flag of “oh great, someone fucked with this, and now it’s less reliable than before”. There are 100 bad aftermarket audio jobs for every 1 good one, so I think it’s fair for used car buyers to be wary of modifications and price that risk in accordingly.

Related to that (and to the main photo)...putting giant 24/26/28" wheels on a truck with said all-terrains, thinking you’ll be an off-road monster. Anyone who really does go wheeling knows tall sidewalls are critical for avoiding puncture, flex/grip, etc. Putting treads on your rubber band pretty much defeats its…

Fitting considering that looks like something you’d stick up your a$$ anyways.

Call me the outlier, but I’m not particularly enjoying this design...notably the rear. It’s too slabby for me.

Then again, I own a Rivian, so I’m well aware of polarizing designs that people love/hate, or learn to love over time. Hopefully, this is the latter. :)

No argument from me. It’s definitely not for everyone...even took a while to grow on me. Hopefully the Rivian helps spur the rest of the market to catch up, and you can find one that suits your style a little more.

We effectively swapped our Toyota Land Cruiser for an R1S, and while this is anecdotal from a party of 1, I’m extremely happy with our decision. Rides better, but still goes off-road just as well, obviously much lower cost-of-maintenance/fueling...and the one thing that perhaps surprised me a bit, so much more…

You make good points, but also gas stations have a much quicker turnover, vs the ~30mins to charge up an EV enough to get to the next stop. We need both more chargers, but on top of that, we need better reliability from those chargers, and less-so, better locations. Dropping a DCFC in a rando parking lot with nothing…

It’s negative margins because they’re building an entirely new plant and product line (R2), and they’re still recouping initial costs from creating the R1, among many other things. The latter will come down as more units are sold, and the former will also come down once the plant is built and producing cars. Does no…

Most of the noise from dense urban areas in the US is generally from cars and trucks.

Moved from Texas to Colorado several years ago, partially because the weather was absolutely fucking awful during the summer.

I think the internet led me astray. Snippet says $21k, but all other sites say $30k. Although, the base 2009 model was only $34,995, which is about $49.5k today, so...take that? lol

Teslas do actually use their cameras to read speed limit signs, although I can’t imagine they use just that data, because it does update limits on screen even when the sign is visibly obstructed.

It’s not “normal” in that it’s not a family sedan or crossover, but a sub-$50k (2023 dollars) 2-seat sports car had no business being this timelessly gorgeous.

The 4th and 5th Gen Accords had old BMW-quality lines that were absolutely timeless.

The GX/Prado has traditionally been a bit larger than the 4Runner. I wonder if the T4R will get a bit of a diet.

I’ll be the anecdotal evidence. Own a 2021 Tesla Model 3. It will be our last Tesla for the very reasons mentioned.

Germany’s roads, with the exception of a few stretches, are actually much slower than the interstates in Texas.
