If Tesla made a working hydrogen powered car design, that mechanically more or less works the same as a gasoline one: why haven’t we fully embraced this technology?

Question

I was told by a friend that Tesla made a working hydrogen powered car design and then sold it to shell why isn’t there more on this?

Answer 1

I searched through the replies to make sure this wasn’t already explicitly stated.
Hydrogen isn’t dense enough to be a viable fuel.
A gallon of Gasoline can get you farther than a more expensive pressurized gallon of Hydorgen.

Hydrogen does however have the capability to make a decent battery, but that is another bag of worms.
