      … Carries just enough water to sound plausible.

      It’s not even close to plausible. It gets legs because it is appealing to think “they” are just that evil and that all our problems can be easily solved once “they” are out of power.

      I think there are other conspiracies within the automotive industry that are true, i.e. could have done better for fuel economy but would have impacted profits. The water car is not one of them. There are applications that use water to change engine dynamics that are viable (my dad had a patent on one and lived his life battling people who didn’t want to hear about it), but running on water is too far from reality.
