AOA LIVE! THE TESLA IS GONE AND THE NEXO HAS RETURNED.

EV Channels Review

The host announces the departure of the Tesla Model 3, which, despite a reputation for being a 'Tesla hater,' was enjoyed for its driving dynamics but ultimately didn't suit the company's need for a crossover. The primary focus then shifts to the return of the Hyundai Nexo, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The video details the recent hydrogen supply disruption in Northern California that left the Nexo stranded, requiring a tow and refill. The host discusses the practicalities and economics of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, comparing them to EVs. While acknowledging the novelty and subsidized fuel costs, the host notes the Nexo's quietness, comfort, and practicality for specific use cases, especially where hydrogen infrastructure exists. However, the limited hydrogen network and singular points of failure are highlighted as significant drawbacks. The review also touches on various other vehicles, including the F-150's sales dominance, the Mazda 6 vs. Lexus GS comparison, and the Toyota/Isuzu 8-speed transmission.
