  • Hydrogen in cars was dead from the get go, it has very niche use cases for the very few percentage of people who actually drive a shitton of kms per day, now it’s only use case would be trucking, but I feel like that should transition mostly to trains with only final miles being loaded onto trucks and there Battery powered semis are not only viable but better imho.



  • Wait till you find out how many components are shared, all the new mazda Hybrids use Toyota’s power train, while the Toyota Supra uses BMW’s B58 engine.

    This Honda Nissan situation is basically what happened with Hyundai and Kia in the past, Kia was struggling so Hyundai bought most of it.

    Economies of scale are needed nowadays, lots of shared parts, Kia/Hyundai sell the same vehicles, just with different stylings and minor differentiators.

    VW group is entire tiered system with some engines reserved for Audis. VW, Skoda and Seat are once again basically the same cars with different flavors, but for example the latest VW passat was built by Skoda.
