It’s darkly funny that my friend who works on Evtols commutes an hour by train to work

Checking in on everyone who told me in the 2010’s that BEVs were a scam and wishing them well in their Toyota Mirai ownership experience
Ah yes combining the legendary fuel efficiency of the wankel with famously affordable hydrogen
At this point it wouldn’t shock me if figures in the Trump administration were personally betting against their owner doomed currency intervention youtu.be/yh18YXKMk3g?...
