I read the on-line description of the vehicle and the safety measures
that they have taken to make sure the 10k psi H2 tanks don't rupture in
an accident, but, after dealing with hydrogen-rich rocket exhaust
products while supporting altitude testing of NASA rockets, I will pass
on this one. I could not get past the feeling that I was strapped to a
potential bomb. Look closely.

Well, this may be interesting. We are scheduled to be talked at and
given a 30 minute test drive in one of these a week from Saturday.

Carol has been angling for a hybrid ... This goes beyond. Only useful
where there are fueling stations, though. I suppose that's why Calif.
only for now, as the State is probably in some deal to accelerate
fueling locations.
Likely why the event is right here a couple of minutes away from us.
Berkeley will probably be one of the first places where one may fuel
it up. we are sooooo Green. :-)
You never know; I see a surprising, at least to me, number of Teslas
about. One lives just a block or so away from us. I could never get
past the charging time. The Mirai fuels in five minutes of so - once
you reach a station.
I do like the careful wording, "Zero tailpipe emissions", as
separating the Hydrogen uses energy that does have a carbon emission
footprint.
