It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Eh, we can do the exact same thing with swappable batteries, this isn't a unique selling point.

I know it'll never happen because no one wants to put the work into build the infrastructure, but the appeal of hydrogen to me is the larger energy density compared to batteries. That's ignoring all the other downsides of hydrogen of course, but imo a lot of those are due to lack of commercial interest, there's just not as much money in improving them compared to batteries.

Ideally we just end up with super amazing batteries and never have to worry about storing pressurised gas that loves to escape basically any container.
