Clickbait is clickbait. There are good resources on why hydrogen is so impractical for personal vehicle ICE, from materials, to distribution, to performance, to efficiency.

I think rather than dismiss it we should at least consider it as an option when "zero emissions" is being thrust upon us. The fact it uses a modified ICE engine, doesn't have the environmental issues surrounding EV battery production it's worth looking at. |

the manual release ones in my Tesla are impossible to miss, in fact I have to tell new passengers how to use the open door button isntead of the manual release one that is more instinctive |

Why the hell the redundancy then? Mechanical levers are used to open doors. Why do we need electronic buttons to do this? It's so stupid. Never once have I thought that grabbing a door lever and using it as the handle to push the car door open was a problem.

from what I understand is that the door windows are frameless, so the electric door release button allows the window to drop a bit to eliviate the chance of damaging the window when opening and closing the door...the mechanical handle won't lower the window and could cause damage. That is why I try to remember to tell new passengers how to open the door properly...most of the time they just pull the lever as it is more instinctual than pressing a button

It's the same in our CLK cab, pull the internal door release handle and the window drops a bit to clear the door seal and the rear window goes backwards half an inch.

Michigan finally had some sense slapped into them/her.
"U.S. automaker Ford Motor Company announced Monday that it would pause construction of a billion-dollar plant in Michigan involving a Chinese electric vehicle battery company"

And using hydrogen fuel in a conventional internal combustion still does not get around the main issue with ICE which is combustion efficiency (i.e. waste heat) between 40% - 60%.
