Eh, you want Toyota, a car company, to force you to do things? That's a strange perspective.

> They sold very few of them

Because they produced very few of them. They still don't make very many.

I think we've arrived back at the beginning. You're agreeing that Toyota didn't go "all in" on hydrogen.

Try to ask questions instead of applying your own meaning to my words. We might have had a good conversation that way. You’re right we’re back at the beginning. Have a good day.

There are no questions to ask. You're inventing a narrative that doesn't correspond to the practical reality.

Because they rely entirely on subsidies and there’s no good fuel distribution network. They were very serious about hydrogen, they just expected other companies (ICE age fuel distributors) to build that network.
