Longer than to refuel a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle . Toyota were quoting refueling for 300 mile range in 5 minutes or less, which seems real world practical , even if as Elon states the end to end efficiency of a pure electric is higher. Different approach, different trade offs, pick the one that best fits your use case. I could see it being more practical for people without a dedicated garage / parking space / overnight charging point. Needs a more pervasive infrastructure, and more economies of scale. Ubiquitous fusion power would help both camps. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33005362 http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-cars-vs-electric-cars-detailed-comparison-efficiency/

I got to drive a pre-production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (Toyota Mirai (it means future)) around San Francisco, briefly, today. The required infrastructure isn't really in place yet, and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversation (wrt. Electric vs hydrogen powered cars) but still cool nonetheless. TCO doesn't make sense for me but it does get you a white HOV Lane sticker. P.S. don't mention the Hindenburg

Not up to Colin's spread but still tasty

Indubitably

Happy Birthday!

Happy twofer Birthday, gents.

Happy birthday!

Thoroughly enjoyed it. He was having fun, the crowd enjoyed it, and mostly in the moment, rather than through a screen. Not bad for a 61 year old (ADM that is)

Al Di Meola - flight over Rio, nearly 40 (alright 38 years on) He still has it! Oh and FTW

Happy Birthday Vicki!

Preset test drive in SF I'm afraid. Ken may have been on it.

Was "specially selected" (mailed) to be a "California Trailblazer" and take a test drive ... In a hydrogen powered "Mirai" In SF in a couple of weeks. http://www.turningpointtour.com/Event Could be fun.
