Oh, yeah. The fuel cell shizzle. No replacement battery packs at 20,000 a pop. Just clean fuel, baby. Oh, and nuclear power can create all you need. Forever. Well, via electrolysis. We used to pump it overboard on the submarines. Waste, we wanted the oxygen. You know, to like breathe and live.
Elon Musk 2022 April Fool’s Day prank
In April 2022, Musk shocked followers by announcing Tesla’s switch to hydrogen. In a tweet that has now been deleted, he said:
"“Really excited to announce we’re switching Tesla from batteries to hydrogen in 2024! Watch this space for the amazing Model H! More range, fast refueling, drinking water on tap as you drive. I was wrong about fool cells – they are amazing! Reserve yours now with Dogecoin!”
The news initially fooled many people, with some media reporting on the switch. However, Musk’s quick deletion of the tweet and its Apr. 1 post date supported that the announcement was a joke."

Now we're talking!
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.
It is, producing it in a pure form for fuel isn't really an energy cheap process.
At least the performance would be superior to batteries.
I wanted to buy an electric bike until I saw all the fires.

Picky. ;-)

Elon now admits he was wrong about Hydrogen cars.
"fool cells" kek
LOL. Elon STILL calls them "fool cells" even though he's using them now.
Hydrogen? What is this, 2008?
Has any automobile manufacturer made one for the average consumer to buy until now?
I know GM had the technology at least 14 years ago but don't know why it never went into production.
Currently Toyota, Hyundai and Honda offer HFC cars.
Maybe that's why GM almost suunk. Having a cheap alternative to guzzoIine would soIve muh CIimate Chg a IittIe too well.

There were hydrogen filling stations in Ohio back then, it was supposed to be the next big thing after the honda insight tanked.
Edit: my bad it was the chevy EV1
The oil magnates probably had the Hydrogen car trashed.
120 hp. Ouch.
Sorry, that was the plan but now he's too busy personally monitoring every suspicious tweet. It's a big job but someone has to do it.
Even more explosive than Lithium. Its very difficult to store as it eats its way though metal rather quickly and when it does, Kaboom!!!
I can just imagine some eejut at a hydrogen refuelling station unthinkingly lighting up a cigarette.... Kaboom!!!
