  1. Well, If it doesn't dent, paint chips or fades away, etc. How can they make money selling parts, fixing the vehicles, etc. This is more than likely why they chose steel.
    Also, had they made all vehicles out of this lite composite, our bridges & over pass may have been constructed less durable & our infrastructure may have not last as long.

  2. Whats that? Hemp can make stronger building materials, high grade ethanol, can replace using trees for paper, make stronger textile, stronger fiber boards, and stronger plastic? Nah lets just smoke it lol

  3. lol WHITE AMERICA ……THE USA BEEN FUCKING US NO!!!!! …. YOU AND I . Over since they fucked the indigenous people over for this piece of land…

  4. $PURA and $PAOG STOCK SHOT UP 14. something % today LOCAL SOURCE ALTERNATIVE TO OIL BASED PLASTIC ISSUE COIN BASED CARBON CREDITS. $$$ OH YEAH BABY SAVING THE EARTH IS SEXY AS HELL.

  5. I hope with President Trump in office we can get bk to produces that last..like this car..I was told by a repairman Washers Refrigerators freezers are made to last 5 yrs..?? To me that is criminal…

  6. It's fucken hilarious that Elon Musk with all his ability does not even think for a second he could be the martyr for change in our system. Hemp could replace our fossil fuel usage by 20~50% and could help free up C02 from our atmosphere reducing our exposure to UV rays which will cause millions cancers if we don't get our act right before our bubble shield deteriorates.

  7. I had a pair of hemp jeans. They took twice as long to wear out and they where always really soft .
    Fuel made from hemp is almost carbon neutral. All the waste can be composted real quick and used to fertilise the next crop and f fuel.

  8. The durability of the car is incredible! The material of the body/frame would most like last indefinitely, as for the engine, if your using hemp oil, biofuels, etc, the car would last a very long time with little to no maintenance. No money to be maid for re-peat customers and parts #s.

  9. thye stone walled henry just like they did tesla it was due to corporate monopolies ruining the future for control its same with everything nowdays – back then it was petrochemical industry that made hemp forgotten and was illegal in 37 i think

  10. Imagine a world where cars burn a fuel that spit out water vapor and not toxic gases. Imagine a world that you do not need to build car panels out of metals and imagine a world where people like Rocke…rs who try to destroy the planet for personal gain do not exist. Imagine a world when the same people tell Tesla about free electricity because of their greed because he said you could harvest free electricity for everyone. What a wonderful world it would be.
