Elon Musk called fuel cells using hydrogen stupid and dangerous technology

A few days ago the head of Tesla Motors Elon Musk выступил the participants of the event Automotive News World Congress , held in Detroit. During his speech, he made a number of interesting statements that relate directly Tesla Motors and the company's products, and other companies.

In particular, the mask has decided to return the rear lighting. Moreover, the decision was made after a child of the mask called Tesla Model S «the stupidest car in the world" because of the lack of lighting, which can be used for reading.

But this is not the most interesting announcement mask. In particular, he reported on the planned output of Tesla Motors profit only in 2020. The Head of the company did not disclose the exact number sold this year EVs, saying only that the planned number of sales 33,000 electric vehicles has been achieved, moreover, was sold "much more electric than planned).

Elon Musk also said the price of Tesla Model 3: 35 thousand US dollars, after the news in 2017.

Interestingly, the technology for the production of energy from fuel cells using hydrogen Musk called "very stupid" and very dangerous. The thing is that hydrogen - and very combustible and light gas, and it is almost impossible to fix the leak. As a result - the whole idea to produce energy from fuel cells fueled by hydrogen are also very dangerous. First of all - for the owner of an electric vehicle with such cells (and the idea of ​​generating energy using fuel cells promotes Toyota, which has already released a car Mirai , working on such technology).

Musk said the questions about Gigafabrike batteries, which should open in 2020. Elon Musk is planning not only to create at the factory batteries for Tesla Model S and other electric vehicles, but also to sell these batteries to other companies.
