I fail to see much advantages.

You are better off making flex fuels like ethanol and biomethane.

And they can simply use batteries during night. They have 97-99% roundtrip efficiency compared to the hydrogen which would have what, half that? Sounds like a waste of energy.

That is because:

Boeing gets 300m extra for being late (I kid you not, Boeing ended up late due to failures and NASA gave them 300m on top of the agreed amount to get back on schedule for which they are late on). So I wouldn’t be surprised if Boeing gets double the money for doing a sim over a real test.

But if your car doesn’t sell, whats the difference? Even Ford is rethinking the Mustang and making it electric precisely because Mustang sales have been declining. Cadillac sales aren’t looking any better.

It is to some extent, but lets be honest. When someone says luxury cars, no one thinks Cadillac despite it at one point being synonymous with luxury.

You seem to love ridiculous strawman arguments. I could care less if people all drive trucks, but lets stop pretending that all of a sudden, a huge part of the population realized they don’t need cars but trucks instead.

No it wasn’t, Oldsmobile sold more cars than Cadillac.

I never said that. Simply that as long as trucks are more than just utilitarian with many people buying as status symbols. Then you won’t have truck prices go down and manufacturers will continue to pad margins.

And I still think cars like Model S, 3 and Y are did/are gonna do 100x more to change how people see EVs than a Hummer.

I’ve heard the same thing said about Harley. How its gonna get regular people talking. Lets give it a few months and see if anyone still remembers.

Cadillac was acquired by GM alongside Oldsmobile, Oakland(Pontiac) and Elmore.

All I was pointing out was they actually are making money selling cars, not on credits.

Shhh, he already mentioned 1 positive thing on Tesla (the profitability), now he is required to list 100 negative things to balance things out. If he lists another positive thing, he’ll have to come up with 100 more negative nonsense.

As Tesla’s mix of cars get shifted around, and their supply chain increases from shipping locally to internationally (It also didn’t help Tesla couldn’t deliver the chinese cars made last year until this year due to government permission). A pause in revenue growth isn’t uncommon.

If you missed it, he is joking about all the common nonsense detractions the media loves to come up with.

Check on the market by causing stocks to sky rocket due to being squeezed?

Yeah, in the meanwhile, truck profit margins are through the roof!

So do explain why it would be a halo car like the Hummer that pushed people to switch to electric and not mainstream crossover like the Model Y?
