Hydrogen Trucks Through The Lens of a 9 Year Old

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.
In this episode, Jon and his son Oliver delve into the world of hydrogen trucks during a visit to the Port of Oakland. They attend a presentation at a hydrogen fueling station, learning about the environmental benefits and challenges of hydrogen technology over traditional diesel and battery-electric trucks. Jon and Oliver explore the technical aspects of hydrogen refueling and compare Hyundai and Nikola trucks, discussing their design and potential in the trucking industry. The insights from various experts highlight the importance of hydrogen in achieving zero-emission goals.
Jerry Reed - East Bound and Down
J & Son attend the opening of the world’s first big rig hydrogen station, with associated government and electric truck razzamatazz
The Press Conference and a digression on nomenclature
What colour is “pickle”? An existential discussion
The First Element dude
The Carb Lady
The Hyundai dude (with the waistcoat that rode up)
A Good Question from the LA Times; how clean is the wrap around technology?
The Cummins rep and people who leave the rock show before the encore is over
J’s digression on getting stuck in muddy car parks at Silverstone, and sleeping in the company Vectra
O’s digression on his favorite car - Texaco/Havoline Porsche 962 and Joe’s Soft Serve
“The Science Bit”, which J didn’t understand “A dude with a beard and no hair…..and a bunch of pipes in a shipping container”
O operates the Actual Gas Pump for Hydrogen
O mocks his father’s skills with Podcastle
True Zero
Hyundai
Nikola - which requires a different pump attachment to “hydrogen up”
J chat’s with Hyundai rep: “why now?” 
Hydrogen is not competing with Diesel, rather with BEVs for last mile/fixed routes, because - 
400-500 miles range (diesel trucks might do 800/day)
Better Payload
Faster refueling
Better vs. natural disasters
The hydrogen station as a single point of failure; may work for some fleet applications, but not right for over the road owner driver truckers
Visual bait and switch - looks like a cabover sleeper truck, but actually what looks like the sleeper hides the hydrogen tanks/. Which “look like missiles”.
“If California is to meet it’s zero emissions goal in 2046, hydrogen must be part of the solution”
So how fully baked is this? J was less convinced after a drive around the Port of Oakland and chatting with real truckers
O reviews the two trucks; Nikola seemed far more wholistic, next generational design, while the Hyundai felt more of the parts bin special it is.
The game changer of one pedal driving; O feels he could drive it, J feels we are very close to autonomy
The challenge is clearly around the delivery of hydrogen, not the trucks
J feels soon the smell and noise of diesel will soon be like cigarette smoke in bars - recently gone, and already forgotten
Rainbow - Man On The Silver Mountain

When Television turned its gaze on Motorsports (Preston Lerner)

Preston Lerner is a freelance writer who has covered racing for the past four decades. For many years, he was a regular contributor to Automobile Magazine and Road & Track. Lerner is also the author or co-author of six books, most recently Shelby American: The Renegades Who Built the Cars, Won the Races, and Lived the Legend. The material used in “Television Turns Its Gaze on Motorsports” is drawn from his upcoming book, The Deadliest Decade, which examines the safety, commercial and technological developments that transformed racing from 1964 to 1973.
Lerner’s presentation covers the early – and often controversial – efforts of TV to bring automobile racing into American living rooms. In 1961, a segment from the Indianapolis 500 time trials was broadcast as part of ABC’s new Wide World of Sports program. During the next few years, racing coverage was expanded to include Formula 1, Le Mans, NASCAR and even USAC dirt-track races. Television dramatically expanded the reach of the sport, which, in turn, attracted major commercial sponsors. By the 1970s, racing had been transformed into the global commercial engine we know today. Yet from the beginning, enthusiasts had a love-hate relationship with ABC. On one hand, TV coverage confirmed that racing was a legitimate sport rather than a tawdry carnival sideshow. On the other, serious fans found the broadcasts puerile and sensationalistic. The camerawork was shaky, the commentary insipid and the focus on accidents infamously morbid. Coverage of the fatal wrecks of Lorenzo Bandini and Roger Williamson inspired widespread disgust that led to improvements in safety. This was an unintended consequence, but it was a product largely of television’s unblinking eye.

BMW S1000R and S1000RR; M’s ‘09 Honda CBR600RR is better than him, and might remain that way
J cannot speak highly enough of Gran Turismo as a virtual preservation and introduction to the world of cars, driving, and motoring culture as a whole, while retaining a Japanese flavour
J’s white Sierra Cosworth RS. In Gran Turismo
J and M do not like mudflaps
Renault Laguna BTCC car
M’s digression on difficult computer games 
Favourite company car; M’s handbrake turns
J’s black Mondeo, limping up to Worcester using zipties in place of an alternator belt
Car guy reading 101: J: Enzo Ferrari - My Terrible Joys; M: Matt Oxley, a very clever motorcycle writer
