Overly dramatic I'd say. I would have liked less movement of the drone to be able to better judge the movement of the rocket.

I absolutely loved that game.

I'd rather force safety requirements on all cars. Like limiting blind spots at the front and everywhere else, limiting speeds of vehicles above certain weights, increasing license requirements for vehicles that have higher safety impact etc.

Hydrogen has its place, and we need plenty of it in places where we don't have viable alternatives. Road transport is pretty far down that list though.

And don't forget that the plants are really expensive. Having them produce very little or even no power for half the time doesn't help that at all.

Thermal storage needs to be quite large though, at least with the stone/brick like mass they used back then. And you need to isolate it, otherwise you have no control over the release of that stored heat. I wonder if new materials, maybe something that undergoes phase change in that temperature range, could be a lot more space efficient.

I don't know how remote your mountains are, here there would likely be a charge point less than 50km away but I don't know where you drive. I give you that.

Your second point though, you might want to reconsider your driving habits. Random google result for breaks when driving: "If driving long distances, you should stop for at least 15 minutes every two hours. Stop often to rest for at least 45 minutes every 4.5 hours of driving to avoid getting tired and stay alert. Plan to stop for a break every 100 miles on your long road trip so that you can relax. Try to only drive for 9 hours a day."

How so, I'm curious? Do you drive into no mans land hundreds of miles away from civilization or are you a robot that never needs to take a break?

At least it doesn't look like chocolate stuff, always great to get those turning white because they baked in mid summer heat.

But this just looks like a standard work truck. Maybe the back is full of tools? Maybe he’s going camping. Camping is dope.

Sure. Two issues though.

  • Small trucks like they used to build a while ago would be better at pretty much all of those use cases than the monsters that get build today
  • big trucks have become the default for people that never do any of those things

So as a result, there are way more way bigger vehicles on the road endangering all road users and wasting resources for no benefit besides lining the pockets of the manufacturers.
