> the largest carmaker seems very much to believe it will be the future
Tesla are arguably a long way ahead on electric cars, so it would make sense for the, currently, largest carmaker to be touting something else.
It maintains a 'normal' that's more similar to the status quo than electric cars, and being the largest carmaker, change would not be something they'd like to encourage. This being closer to the current status quo could help it greatly if fossil fuel logistics and infrastructure could be minimally re-worked to cater to hydrogen.
It also could end being stupidly fiercely politically aligned where democrats are all supporting and driving electric and republicans hydrogen.
- maxerickson 4y agoDon't most of the major automakers electric vehicles compare reasonably to Tesla? Like Tesla likely has better costs on their batteries, but that doesn't represent a whole lot when the other automakers have only recently started to invest in that production. And for example, the F-150 Lighting isn't at huge volume, but it's more available than ye olde Cybertruck.
