There are a few reasons for that.

1) But the battery suppliers are closed too, so it’s still a supply issue.

Slowing? Base on what? Seems to be quite on track to me:

1) Fuel Cells will never reach 90% due to theoretical limits. So yes, they can never be as efficient as batteries.

1) The drop in EV sales wasn’t that large YoY, and considering that average EVs have more kwh in them, the drop is clearly in supply more than demand. Even the manufacturers themselves are saying there is a supply issue.

I thought ev was much heavier than hydrogen since it needs to pack a lot of batteries. Toyota mirai weights 4,075lb while Tesla model s hovers around 4,833-4,941lb.

lol, you are aware Tesla sales are up YTD YoY right? Even with COVID. That isn’t just from early adopters.

The current fuel cell technology is PEM fuel cells, which go back to the 1966 GM Electrovan. They technology has been improving SLOWLY. In comparison, lithium ion based cars appeared in the 2000s.

1) Closing manufacturing plants means less supply, not demand.

1) The automakers are shut down as well, so it’s still a supply issue.

Hydrogen is the end game when we break fusion, hydrogen fuel cells though are not. That said I doubt anyone will let you put a fusion generator in your car anyways so we’d still be running on something like batteries.

But crashing electric vehicle sales because of the pandemic also hit the battery market, where, for the first time ever, demand is expected to fall this year.

1) Why does the size of the factory matter again? What matters is the PRODUCTION amount.

1) The original commitment was 35gwh cells in 2020.

Noble blood?

It won’t make a difference as gerrymandering would just isolate them all to minimize votes.

Says the area is a sand and gravel mine. That sounds worse than having a factory.

Nevada lacks the people to expand there. Even for the gigafactory, the housing and workers are barely keeping up with current expansion plans.

Pretty much, not to mention Tesla has inventory cars as well that they sell and you can order online. They even sometimes give discounts if its a test drive car with some miles on it.

If you don’t want to wait, you can always buy a brand new inventory car from Tesla. And you’ll even get a discount if there are some miles on it.
