@miankd I Loose some weight!

Oh wait, you're American nevermind :-)

Cheeky tosser. Yeah, rude and ignorant on my part, I don't know if you're American or obese and frankly I don't give a fuck.

You mean who is Tesla? He invented almost all of our modern tech about 100 years ago.... if you enjoy AC electricity, cell phones, radio, electric motors and death rays you should look him up. Edison and Marconi just stole his ideas and were better salesman.

I want one soo bad

@drussM ..but where do you get hydrogen from mate? that's the (big) problem with this hydrogen fuel cell technology that people don't quite grasp. The fact is it requires enormous amounts of electricity to produce hydrogen, its not simply a pre-existing energy source that we can just find underground like oil ..and no, you can't produce significant amounts of hydrogen in your shed or garage, if that was possible we'd all be doing it.

LosDTenaces is correct. Like electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars are zero emission, silent, and efficient. Unlike electric cars, they require only a minute to refuel (electric cars take hours to recharge). Most importantly, they don't draw energy from a national grid, eliminating the ability of electric power companies to monopolize the energy market and raise prices. (It is even possible to produce hydrogen at home and sell excess energy back to the grid!)

they should be researching more into hydrogen fuel cells, and add the infrastructure to support it, which electric cars would need anyway to charge on the go (but to get they won't because they are pointless). The only reason why we don't have car with hydrogen fuel cells here is because the petrol stations don't have the hydrogen. and they won't unless people have the cars, which they won't buy if they can't fill them up. so it will only happen when one of the companies sell hydrogen

[LosDTenaces]

basically the testla is a car that shows people who don't know anything about electric cars, that if you fill the car with batteries it will go REALLY fast for a number of miles, before needing to be recharged for ages. it is not the future, while electric car companies could be finding ways of charging batteries faster, and making them last longer, which is still a waste of time because they will never be as convenient as working cars. they just waste everyone's time.

[LosDTenaces]

the future is in electric car with hydrogen fuel cells, or other forms of renewable fuel, that allows the car to refill with potential energy quickly,(not in 4 hours). the battery powered electric cars are as bad the hybrids, they are all just so people can pretend that they have less of a carbon footprint. the hybrids use a ridiculous amount of co2 in the production (as well as the batteries in the testla which will need to be replaced every few years depending on how much its driven).
