This is delusional. Hydrogen is a fundamentally superior technology compared to BEVs. Tesla is the facing the next big crisis when the limitations of battery reveal itself. Batteries are simply not a sustainable technology. It is Tesla that is being disruption by innovation, not Toyota.

He's not wrong, but the world has picked a different path.

Hydrogen only creates water, and can be refuelled as quick as gas.

Wouldn't have minded driving one of those Toyota Mirais, but there isn't even a Hydrogen station at the other end of the long trip I regularly do, nor is it any cheaper than gas anyways.

And that's the story all over, better tech environmentally and practically but no infrastructure, no hype, and no momentum. It's dead.

The world has not picked a path at all. We are currently still dependent on ICE cars. And the BEV era will come and pass without ever seriously challenging that dependency.
