| #8 What happens when a hydrogen-powered vehicle crashing into a lithium battery vehicle? I bet you can see that from space! |

| #6 So instead of a car that catches fire and burns for a couple days at temps high enough to turn people into charcoal, they made a car that simply pink mists everyone inside and nukes the surrounding area. Are we sure these people have safety in mind? |

| #5 Why hydrogen? Because it theoretically fuels an engine that only has water as an exhaust. The practical process of how that hydrogen gets to the engine is an exercise left to the suffering engineers that are supposed to make it happen. |

| #3 I read about hydrogen engines long ago and you can use powdered hydrogen which is much safer than liquid but it doesn't have as much stored energy. Makes refueling much safer. My question is why hydrogen now when its a step back from electric. Still takes a ton of power to make the hydrogen. Is it because the lithium mining being an environmental nightmare or the fires? |

| #2 For a particular sideways hit, that tank placement might make a serious Corvette crash seem like a minor scratch. Of course, those tanks are under the passenger side in Japan. |
