> Toyota's solid-state EV battery promises are almost as bad as Elon's full self driving timeline They’re not even in the same category. Tesla sells a feature called “full self driving.” It’s a fraud.

The Californian government was a big booster of hydrogen at one point. Toyota might have reaped the rewards if California had built that infrastructure out (and, to be honest, if Tesla had failed early on). Their hydrogen fuel cell technolo

I was thinking it was a rare display of caution on the part of otherwise careless idiots. (or maybe we just got lucky) They aren't fucking with any of the universities responsible for managing national laboratories.
