Improvements like this I believe, show how much science Elon Musk doesn't understand or is willing to acknowledge. Sure, I'm a fan of the Musk, however advancements like this show his hydrogen FUD is really just a marketing ploy / positioning stunt [1].
Once we can create better means than metal hydride [1] in order to store hydrogen it will become the de-facto fuel for long haul trucks and electric aircraft. Assuming fuel-cell tech continues it's steady YoY improvement, hydrogen IS the future.

edit - of course, I should've known the Tesla shills would downvote this... You dirty animals, I own a Model 3.
- wh0knows 6y agoWhile hydrogen might end up "being the future" this prediction has as much substance (perhaps less as there is no scaled up application of the technology) as Musk's claim. Just want to make the point that the idea of hydrogen still having a lot of potential and is worth investigating is a better claim than making a somewhat baseless assertion that hydrogen is the certain way forward over batteries.
