Shouty Kilmer says hydrogen cars are the future.

[Xist]

Shouty released a video called "The Fatal Flaw of Tesla Cars." This is one of a few dozen videos he has released where he answered several questions live with far fewer details than his normal videos, which rarely seemed like they had enough details.

He just said how difficult it is to transport electricity. We have been doing it for over a century! He said that it takes fifty-eight minutes to fully charge a Tesla using a supercharger, so that is a problem, but I do not see how anything that he mentioned was a fatal flaw.

Because it isn't. It takes over 90 minutes to charge a Tesla Model S to 80%. After that, it'll slow charge. And generally, Chevy mentions, to not fast charge batteries often, but preferably slow charge them on a 120V-240V outlet.

So, you are saying that I need two Teslas?!

The Model S can charge to 80% in 40 minutes or less, with a max charge rate of 120 kW, which is roughly 8 miles per minute of charging.

What bothers me actually more than Tesla flaws is this: Who pays him to say what he is saying?

Musk draws no paycheck from Tesla. He is compensated by having ownership. As I said above, he has a proclivity towards thoughtless tweets.

No, I mean who pays Shouty Kilmer to say hydrogene cars are the only future and Tesla is flawed.
Seems like you intended to reply in Tesla 3 thread??

Ah yes, got my threads crossed.

I assume Shouty gets paid by Youtube for views. That in itself creates an incentive for people to say shocking things that aren't necessarily grounded in reality.

Hopefully. There are known cases here in my country when these influencers took money to promote companies or politicians. ...or basically whoever is willing to pay.

The only thing that's true is some ones getting paid.
