Yes, Elon Musk is a clever man. But there is a basic flaw in battery powered cars and that is their weight.

I'd like to take the opportunity to state once again that fuel cells are the way to go. It seems to me that Aronsson's ideas should work. That would be a fuel cell combined with an ammonia cracker mounted inside a very light weight car like the Urbee 2. You see, the Urbee would only require a small amount of ammonia to get a lot of mileage. You could dilute the ammonia and then dewater it and crack it for the hydrogen. It would be cheap, cheap, cheap. Especially if you make the ammonia with a LFTR. Keep in mind that the LFTR can simultaneously make electricity, ammonia, and desalinated sea water. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Money talks, bullshit walks.
