One mistake, the Hilux on topgear was not a 22r or 22RE it was the 2L diesel. That diesel had a few issues but was even harder to destroy compared to the 22 series, and trust, the 22 series is rugged. I drove a 22R pickup for 300K miles, and I was not kind to it, about half of those were hard miles in what in mechanical terms would be considered adverse conditions.

LIthium ion is recyclable but not as profitable YET so companies don't care. Also disposable vapes are a massive waste of lithium. Also thing with hydrogen is it's generally derived from hydrocarbons now. Water electrolysis isn't cost effective enough yet.

Good stuff. Tech is improving and it's nice to look at facts not feelings. Definitely agree hydrogen is not ready yet but maybe in the future. No harm in Toyota r&d imho

[@Bertinator-nm9ld]

Water electrolysis is always going to be significantly more expensive than electricity, because of how much electricity the process itself requires.

[@JJSmith1100]

Unfortunately hydrogen cannot work. There are to many losses producing it, it is hard to transport, it leaks through steel and when it leaks it is damaging to the atmosphere and its energy density is to low, so simple math shows that it takes up to much volume and gives to little energy. The maths on this will not change. At present the known easily accessible lithium reserves on earth is enough to replace all vehicles on earth twice. That is without recycling it where you can retrieve nearly 100% of the lithium from a battery. It is much wiser to develop batteries that does not use lithium, or much less lithium than on a impossible hydrogen dream. Hydrogen is only good for rocket fuel.

I work at a wiring harness factory that makes harnesses for Toyota. Our oldest production lines are Camry, Corolla and Axio. The Axio line has been running for more than a decade. The Corolla line was last modified to make updated harnesses about 5 years ago while the Camry had the most number of production line and are updated once every 2 years. The best part for Toyota is that the harness shares a lot of parts with RAV-4s so if by some reason, you broke a connector on the harness for your Camry, you can just yank one from a RAV-4

[@idkalan00]

EVs will die if the infrastructure isn't capable to handle it. US is way behind on the infrastructure for electricity and adding EVs to the grids will only make it worse. This isn't a "buy first, improve later" thing, it's the opposite. Without upgrading grids and making charging stations as prevalent as regular fuel stations, EVs will be DoA

[@jarehelt]

Hydrogen is too expensive. You need to make the electricity first, then you need to use that electricity to make hydrogen, then you need to use MORE energy to conpress and freeze the hydrogen, then you need to use MORE energy to transport the hydrogen to an infrastructure that doesn't exist The inefficiency is mind boggling, just put the electricity in an EV and call it a day

[@lienmeat]

I mean there WILL be alternatives to lithium-based batteries for EVs if alternatives were embraced in the same manner that lithium was. For example, out of the gate, Sodium based batteries have similar energy density in the first gen low production yield versions as lithium batteries did 15 years ago, and Sodium batteries are arguably better in cars because they don't degrade in performance anywhere close to as easily as lithium batteries do when they get hot (a main limit to performance over time in EVs right now).

Hydrogens problem is n't with the motor technology it's one of storage. The molecule is too small to bleed off through any material by moving through the molecular structure. Hydrogen also causes all material that it's stored in and runs through to become brittle.

[@joeycampbell940]

It's not hydrogen combustion, it uses hydrogen fuel cells that are also trash.

[@Blazico]

Just a point on the idea of hydrogen combustion. In my honest opinion it does not seem like a technology that will get a lot of attention because it is about hald as efficient as fuel cell technology. Hydrogen takes a lot of energy to make so you wouldnt wanna waste the energy stored in it, even if us petrolheads love it.

[@metalhat3534]

The big upside for hydrogen combustion is that less pure hydrogen from industrial processes (mostly oil refining) can be used. Whoch makes hydrogen combustion cheaper than hydrogen fuel cells, but also less clean since then again we have the NOx problem as with every combustion process. About hydrogen purity what i heard is that fuel cells need 99.9%, while combustion works with 95%. Also the efficiency problem is that in combustion there is always loads of hear generated which cannot be used.

EV's are going away because we have to mine lithium, and/or the "infrastructure sucks". But _hydrogen_ is where it's at? You're joking, right? You realize Toyota are practically giving away the Mirai, they still aren't selling, and the people who did buy them have brought a class-action lawsuit because _that_ infrastructure actually _does_ suck (in the handful of CA cities where it exists at all). The hydrogen itself is stupidly expensive. Much of it is extracted from fossil fuels. California has blown well over $200M on this failed experiment. If that money had been spent subsidizing Level 2 chargers for apartment/condo dwellers, which is the *real* problem with EV infrastructure, it could have accomplished a lot. Hydrogen _may_ have a place for fleet vehicles, similar to CNG, but it's just never going to be the thing for personal cars. It might have looked compelling 20 years ago. Now that 300-mile-range BEV's are a dime a dozen and DC fast-charging is, well, fast...it really has nothing going for it.

[@RJ-s41ty]

Fossil fuels are how you get electricity, which is how you charge EVs.

[@hibob841]

​@@RJ-s41ty Sure, you _can_ make it that way (it's called electrolysis, BTW) but that is not how it is being made commercially. It requires an enormous amount of energy. Even if you solve that problem, you're dealing with something that's *ludicrously* difficult and expensive to transport and store. Whereas we already have an electrical grid that reaches basically everywhere and is readily extensible.

[@hibob841]

@@RJ-s41ty Perhaps you've never seen a solar panel, wind turbine, dam, or nuclear plant, but it turns out there are actually lots of ways to make electricity. There are regions that get basically _all_ of their energy from renewables, and the picture is improving globally. Solar and wind have become cheap enough to make it an inevitability. To your other point, you could use that electricity to conjure hydrogen...but it's a _whole_ lot easier to transport and store electricity than hydrogen. That gulf is only growing as batteries get cheaper and more energy-dense by the day. Hydrogen will always be hydrogen. The stuff can leak right through _solid steel_ for fuck's sake.

[@metalhat3534]

I don't know if the 200M figure is correct but if that is the case, it would have been far better to invest that money into public transport such that people don't meed to drive for their commute. After all even a Diesel(electric) train is far better regarding emissions than every single person driving their own vehicle. Car centric living is actually a big problem. Which does not mean that people shouldn't be allowed to own cars, but if there is a need for everyone to own and drive it is a big problem.

Fun fact, you don't ALWAYS have to goto the stealership for OE grade parts. Find out who manufacturers the said part for whomever, and buy it direct by cross referencing the OE part number with the manufacturer number. Don't pay the box tax! Mind you, this doesn't apply to everything, but it does apply. For example, I just replaced the downstream O2 sensor on my buddy's 2015 Lexus IS250. Denso makes the OE sensor for Lexus/Toyota. From Lexus, the sensor was $220ish + tax. Once I figured out the Denso part number, I got it from Autozone for $150. The box tax is REAL, as that's legitimately the only difference between the 2. Conversely, NEVER buy an aftermarket manufactured sensor of any type for Toyota or Honda. I've worked for both, and both do NOT do well with aftermarket sensors (it was indeed a Bosch sensor that shit the bed on my friend's Lexus, which means it had already been replaced once before). Albeit an O2 sensor, MAF sensor, heck even the ABS sensors are subpar when allocated from an aftermarket source. There are a fair number of parts you can go aftermarket and all will be well. Sensors do not fall into that category.

So the Hilux thing for Toyota and its various rebadges? That's all down to the fact that any idiot with a wrench can swap any part in that car in a half hour, give or take. There's a reason they get used so often as technicals overseas by terrorist organizations, because they ride hard, and if you break them, you can pull them into any garage(and I don't mean mechanic shop, I mean any HOME garage) anywhere you want, get out the wrench bag, and have the "new" part bolted on and be back in the fight. In theory, anyway. In practice, these things get smoked all the time, but that's the other thing. Scavengers after a fight will go over every single part of that vehicle seeing what still works and what is still useful. I've seen guys tear down a burnt out hilux with bodies still in the cab, and they straight up pulled half the rear suspension and axle off, put it in the still mostly intact bed, and threw it in the back of Another hilux to take back to a depot to use on other vehicles.

Nice video sponsored by Toyota. Not only promoting a technology that isn't anywhere near viable (hydrogen) on personal vehicles, but also slandering EVs that have more viability than hydrogen as well. I hope that paycheck was worth it! Unsubscribed.

The combination of the Title and the thumbnail is crazy cuz my friend claimed his Rav4 didn't require an oil change in the 20 years it existed 🤦

Those Mass Air flow sensors could not be good when installing it. You could get six bad ones before you get a good part for anything aftermath. Even OEM parts for some vehicles.

There's a new report out about Toyota being worse than Bud Light by a mile. Check it out if you want.

9:40 Fuel Pump. Throttle body sez, "Gimme!", Fuel pump sez, "nope."

In fairness to Evie's, we might not have such a lithium shortage in this country, If companies would stop putting lithium ion batteries in disposable electronics. You could probably build a fleet of EVs out of the batteries in these disposable e-cigarettes that are getting tossed in the dump everyday.

A lot of the Toyota problems are due to many factors, but as an engineer I can tell you that the lack of innovation in Toyotas engines for over 20 years (I think the last real innovation was the introduction of of the Prius) has a lot to do with it. Doing too much to catch up too soon. You can’t neglect coming out with new engines for 20 years and not expect to have issues. Honda has done 3-4 engines in the same amount of time. Also, nothing brings more attention to your brand than not honoring warranty claims. Give the dude with GR Corolla a new car. I mean… come on marketing team. Get a grip!

Volkswagen put a tundra transmission in their v10 Tuareg and it's the only part that doesn't break lol.

Toyota: I'm the most indestructible vehicle ever! Salted roads: Hold my beer.

The Top Gear Toyota pickup was diesel-powered. It didn't have a 22R or 22RE in it.

Toyota ad in RSA, "als loop reg, altyd reg, Toyota" pretty much everything runs right, always right, Toyota in afrikaans

I was watching some repair videos and usually the rod goes through the block however it didn't on a 2022 Ford F-150 5.0. The piston was was gone when they disassembled it. All you could see is the rod and the piston was shattered all over the place and in the plastic oil pan.

BMW had hydrogen in the 80's just like Electric cars in the 1900's. Some tech is not new just more refined and marketed as New tech. More Corporate BS

Fun fact, the chicken tax was implemented because the US use a lot of additives in their chicken feed that are not allowed in feed for EU chickens.. also certain antibiotics and a few other things. Ditto with beef and ditto milk... Australia is having the same issue with trying to get into EU meat markets.

[@wilbo_baggins]

I see that bugger Toyota ad we had here. There apparently was a bunch if people complaining about it to the BSA (broadcast standards authority).

There is plenty of lithium… and it’s highly recyclable. Otherwise great vid… EVs are here to stay like it or not. I’m a fan of ICE and EV.

Love paul, definitely one of the sweeter original mechanics. Glad you guys still have him around :>
