What the heck is this ????

Not certain that the stigma isn't reserved for the personality promoting and manufacturing the cyber truck, not the concept.

And its appearance of course.

This is ford's contribution to electric pickups...note the functionality in place of the "dig me."

FWIW, I drive a Prius. and have absolute contempt for the butthole who absconded with Nikola's family name....

You know, the jackass who's fortune came from daddy's exploitation of an indigenous population, who is polluting low earth orbit to bring internet to a war monger in the largest of eastern European countries, that invaded a neighbor...

That truck seems low to the ground which means 2 wheel drive, not practical in the snow it also seems to have a shorter bed than the Cybertruck. Making it more functional for i cant figure out what.
As for cyberlink internet, you have it reversed from reality.
You are allowed your opinion about the Cybertruck, but nonsense……

regardless of it's efficiency or acceptance, there is no denying that there is a finite source of oil for gas consumption. It's not unreasonable to look for alternatives. With our limited understanding of the Universe, electric is the main current alternative. Why there is such a stigma against it, is unreasonable. Sure, we can agree that it's not perfect in it's current form, but why such a hatred for anything other than burning oil is beyond my understanding.

What about Hydrogen?

Well….today’s average driving “styles”, at least in my area, made me give up on my motorcycle…in the name of self preservation…I can imagine what wold happen with hydrogen…

There are some Hydrogen bikes (Bicycles) around but there really aren't many places to refuel. I would imagine that it might be similar to cars that run on LPG when they get into accidents and damage the tank.

I’ve seen a couple of clips of that stuff.

It's one of the most abundant elements in the Universe so it would be around for a while. The problem, as I understand it, is that the transfer procedures between storage and user-vehicle allows for far too much spillage. The excess Hydrogen that would be introduced into the atmosphere is far more harmful for the environment than CO2 emissions.

With that said, there are a lot of foreign countries working on Hydrogen solutions. Japan and China are leading that charge with remarkable success. However, there is still the issue with the escaped Hydrogen, which includes filling stations, but more likely, accidents which ruptures the tanks in both the end-user vehicle collisions as well as tanker transportation.

My understanding is/was that they were using or trying to use “fuel cell” to store the hydrogen which would not be the same as just compressed hydrogen on a tank. Especially to avoid explosions in case of accidents. But what do I know, we had a student , 30 yers ago, which ended up in a hydrogen fuel cell research company, but I haven’t kept up with the technology.
