Swaps places with Toyota from year to year as the world’s biggest car maker. But what would they know next to some guy somebody saw on YouTube. The combustion engine was dead when it was invented in the 1870s (50 years after the electric motor). Rubbish technology, only 20% efficient, huge amounts of pollution, thousands of moving parts that break down constantly, noisy, difficult to recycle, heavy, puny without a gearbox, utterly dependent on a multi-trillion dollar network of oil wells and tankers and refineries to move a metre.
