    Hydrogen stations have more safety built in than any other type of fueling station.

    They have to because handling hydrogen is riskier than other fuels.

    So you agree that they are safe?

    Gas station stations are also safe. Being safe does not negate the chance of an accident, and there has been accidents at hydrogen stations and hydrogen fuel plants. At least one worker died in S. Korea.

    The sales numbers of these are pretty similar to hydrogon cars. must be something about that look that just doesn't appeal to many.

    Impressive considering the Lyriq isn't available yet.

    Yes it’s impressive that one can compare a vehicle with no sales with one that has sold everyone manufactured.

    that's right, it is impressive how one of these cars has no sales worldwide the other has virtually no sales worldwide practically the same percentage - and both have never generated profit for their manufacturers ... a perfectly exact comparison

    GM was once king of the road at one time too! Tesla success will be short.

    If that were true, how many $1000's of dollars are you shortening them? Otherwise, how does that expression go? Talk is cheap?

    If you mean to use that as an example, then remember how "short" GM's success was, compared to an individual investor's financial timeline or even lifetime.

    Just because something is likely to seriously decline eventually, doesn't mean it can't first ruin a whole generation of investors who short-sell it much too early.
