Let's not forget his busy-ness with readying microchips for brain implantation! He'll have us communicating gb/s through the air and render speech pointless.

But it has over 300 miles range as standard, due to having the largest ever capacity battery apparently. (nod)

Besides, surely you don't doubt that Perkles employers think that he's worth them investing a little bit more than they are doing with his Tesla ? (happy)

Both EV and Hydrogen are required. Think of them as the new petrol vs diesel.

EV for cities and low emissions - Hydrogen for fast refuels and high load carrying capacities (think HGV, heavy plant and sales rep)
