Was I Wrong About the Hill HX50?

My recent video on the Hill HX50 got a huge reaction—some people agreed, others strongly disagreed. So in this follow-up, I’m addressing the top 10 criticisms you left in the comments. From vertical integration and the GT50 engine to insurance, financing, and the controversial owner-built process, we’re breaking it all down. This isn’t about being “right.” It’s about having a real conversation on the risks, potential, and reality of the HX50. 📌 CHAPTERS & CRITIQUES: 1:34 – CRITIQUE #1: Vertical Integration 4:40 – CRITIQUE #2: Engine Development 8:10 – CRITIQUE #3: Owner-Built Process 9:35 – CRITIQUE #4: Performance Claims 11:35 – CRITIQUE #5: Timeline Concerns 13:08 – AW09 Comparison 15:12 – CRITIQUE #6: Team Experience (CRITIQUE #7 was not filmed due to a recording error) 18:55 – CRITIQUE #8: Disruptor Comparisons 21:50 – CRITIQUE #9: Deposit Model 25:30 – CRITIQUE #10: Insurance and Financing 26:15 – CONCLUSION No hype.
