If someone's plugging their ears, it's you. The hydrogen stuff you see in Japan is about burining the very polluting shale in order to make hydrogen via electricity of it. They think they have something like a new coming of the oil industry in there, but it's really a misguided and stupid idea since hydrogen doesn't store well and therefore transport of it is downright idiotic. Meanwhile, they have loss leader cars at limited quantities for places like California only, where they're highly irrelevent anyway. Batteries can store a charge for up to years and are an order of magnitude more efficient, whereas you'd have to find a shitload of new powerplants for the lossy and moronic way hydrogen economy works.

Not only are you ignorant about H2, apparently you don't know much about batteries either. Try leaving your Tesla at an airport for 3 weeks and then report back on the range available.

Waste of time. Good luck with your batteries - and no you aren't going to bury dead ones in my backyard. Tesla's are throwaway cars because who is going to spend $12-15k on a replacement battery when the existing one has a range of ~80 miles?
