  1. I think what will help the lone contract trucker as well as small companies is that companies like UPS, FedEx and Waste Management have all built their pumping stations to be also open to the public. This helps spread the use and cover the cost. I know the west coast is far more ahead of the Fuel cell and EV trend than most other areas of the country, but as Warren Buffet has stated about his own purchase of multiple train companies, the sooner they convert from Diesel generation to LNG generation the cleaner and quieter the planet becomes for the health of humanity. In it for everyone to have a healthier life.
  2. I can understand what you say, I have researched RJ the CEO and the backing of the company and R&D they have done. Very solid, very efficient company so far and clearly not dragging along the attitude of Musk. I honestly think with building the F150 EV truck for Ford, building their own auto's and the Amazon Prime EV delivery van fleet that we will see a much better run and production company as they move from their current Beta testing and assembly line building to a full production site at the end of the year. Knowledge is power and my research on Rivian is showing a better planned and executed company. The only thing holding me back from putting down a deposit is my test fit into the auto. I hope to do that in the near future.
  3. Yes, they have them at the port of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Salem, San Francisco, Bakersfield, LA and San Diego along with Hydrogen fueling at Seattle/Tacoma airport, Portland Airport, San Francisco Airport, LAX and San Diego Airport. They also have them in NY, DC and Chicago due to testing of Fuel Cell auto's. Your right, it might be more than 25 years, but I can see major trucking firms putting in their own fueling systems much like how waste management has converted to CNG for all their hauling needs. Yes they say they still have about 15% of small sites to change over but due to costs, they will be done over the next 10 years as they amortize the costs across the company. I will say it is very nice to not have diesel belching garbage trucks in the city. CNG is much quieter and we all know electric motors are very quiet so having a hydrogen fuel cell generator makes total sense for a cleaner silent transport of goods.
  4. We just need to find someone special to enter your life and utilize that space with you!
  5. Just think the changes in reporting and comparing once we have more EVs on the road to choose from, this will be very interesting especially if a company like Rivian delivers on what they have marketed their full size pickup truck and suv to be about road trips and especially off road adventures, that is going to really challenge all auto companies.
  6. This makes more logical sense for long haul trucking than a pure battery Semi Class 6 or 8 that makes more sense for inner city deliveries and container yard movement. Both have their place and I do see the end to Diesel over the next 25 years.
  7. I have gone to just moving their carts and when they get upset, I remind them they have responsibilities to more than feeding themselves.
  8. Interesting and exciting, but let them test it in Korea first. ?
  9. Love the Tour de Costco lunch. I have no guilt over it, after all they are there for you to sample and see if you like it. Nothing about purchasing now, but you might in the future. Love when the Aidells Sausage bazaar comes to town. https://www.aidells.com/products?cid=aidells:ps:psl:ms:43034:2817&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand_Core_Exact_ADL&utm_term=adells sausage&utm_content=Misspellings&gclid=CKTVlqfwruUCFQbZDQod_bYKDw&gclsrc=ds Love the costco special edition of Chicken sausage with Mushroom and mozzarella. ?
  10. Nikola was the company I could not remember the name on. https://nikolamotor.com/motor Seems they have 3 semi Class 8 Fuel cell trucks to offer now.
  11. Should be exciting to see these compared to the Fuel Cell Class 8 Semi truck company that is spinning up to produce fuel cell trucks in Arizona I think.
  12. Added an FYI, behind in the picture is a major apartment complex, 5000 units and many Tesla owners, so this charge station is always busy like this.
  13. Have a safe trip, hope no tornadoes while your there.
  14. BMW Faithful will love it I am sure.
  15. I tried it, but did not like the layout, went back to our original for me. Thank you Drew for letting us try it out.
  16. How can you say this is the fastest growing segment when they do not sell that many compared to regular real SUV/CUV?
  17. Rivian had a town fair to show off their site, auto's and start to gather resumes for working at the assembly plant. Would love them to have a few more around the country of open to the public viewings of their auto's. https://stories.rivian.com/adventurous-together
  18. In regards to the third statement, that is why most charging points also have solar power panels. The ability to still work even when brown outs stop allowing gas pumps to operate.
  19. 3 deep waiting, seems to be backlogged at this Fred Meyers Tesla Charging station. This is pretty common here be it Tesla or the generic charging stations. You have a major shop point, variety of food places and other retail. Makes it easy to charge, shop, eat and go. FYI: Behind these Tesla's are a huge 5000 Apartment complex and many are Tesla Owners, so I am sure this is a major recharge point for them.
  20. ?‍♂️ What do you expect, I work in the High Tech Industry. We are all about the innuendo's! After all after this we get VR Hummer Packages!
  21. Awesome Robert has an Olds Dealership. ?
  22. The comments seem to reinforce the greed of the assembly line workers. Nothing says they have to stay, nothing says they cannot go to night school and get a better education for a better paying job. Wake up to the reality UAW Workers. At the rate your going, a robot will replace you.
  23. This is exciting, while as a Separate brand to me does not make sense compared to a Hummer package on the GMC brand.
