Oh, and I’m not kidding about the mattresses:
— The Autopian (@the_autopian) November 25, 2022 More mattress content will have to wait, because it’s now time for you to experience this bonkers car, just as we did:
It’s an interesting and, um, exuberant concept car, and the specs certainly are impressive:
… I mean, if you believe concept car specs, which I never really do, because, come on, it’s not real. I mean, sure, they have one that runs, but I think it’s still healthy to take all of these numbers with multiple grains of sodium chloride.
Hydrogen fuel cell-powered EVs have been around for a while, and despite a lot a pushing by companies like Toyota, hydrogen has yet to really catch on. If you own a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the number of places you can refill your vehicle are limited in number, in the same way that otters with degrees in comparative literature are limited in number. There’s hardly any. Hyperion has made a lot of developments in fuel cell architecture, and the XP-1 car is really just a lure to get people interested in their fuel-cell tech, and, as you can see, it worked on David and I, so good work, Hyperion. So, if you’re really excited to learn more about a concept car that will likely never make it into production and was built by a company more interested in making electricity with water vapor as a byproduct, boy are you in luck. Watch that video. Would it be a dumb party trick that never makes a real difference in the range of the vehicle like a solar roof? Yes. Would it be cool? Also yes. The capacitor is no doubt better in all ways, but that doesn’t make it fun. http://www.autopasion18.com/IMAGENES-COCHES-REALES-HISTORIAS/WESTINGHOUSE%20(Marketeer)%20(USA)-01.JPG Drive it sure, but would you BUY it? Especially if it meant $51-67k for sub-Prius level performance? -Toyota claims the (2022) Mirai requires a leisurely 9.1-seconds to reach 60 mph.- https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/mirai JT: THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you . . . for asking about The Hand. (I’d totally missed the last feakin’ third of the interview!)
