    It’s not vaporware, it’s anti-EV FUD.

    Don’t buy one of those EVs, we’re going to have much better EVs really soon now and you’ll be stuck with something inferior. Same with their talk about hydrogen: EVs are just a fad, hydrogen is the future! … and it’ll be viable real soon now, so stick with gasoline until then!

    Toyota is constantly in the news about battery advancements or hydrogen because it’s defensive FUD to protect their fossil fuel vehicle sales.

      They’re also funding a liquid anhydrous ammonia powered car, as if hydrogen wasn’t a terrible enough idea, let’s power a car with an incredibly toxic chemical that has to be stored cryogenically or under pressure. What could go wrong?
