An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    An interesting article about the Muskmelon, Tesla, and fuel cells. []https://energynews.biz/will-tesla-release-hydrogen-car/ (take the article with a spoonful of salt I think) It’s perhaps another attempt at a pump and dump stock fraud as he does need money for twitter. But, I’ve seen a couple of these blurbs lately and I can’t find where they originate from.

    Even the ketamine wonder wants to sound like he thinks Tesla is going to abandon pure EVs and build and sell something with a hydrogen fuel cell evidently. If so,and you can’t rule out it out completely yet, the ICE engine might not be done yet - just swapping a fuel source.

      A fuel cell does not mean it’s an ICE. It will still use an electric motor and probably even a small battery.

      Hydrogen ICE exist, but are more complex and less efficient.

      You could use Hydrogen to produce so-called e-fuels (we had a huge debate about them in Germany), but those can typically be used in normal ICE vehicels.
