[AT] tractor hauling truck

[James Peck]

I was watching the football game with everybody else and saw a pickup advertisement that showed a pickup towing  a tractor loader on a trailer. Some of the full size pickups have higher towing ratings than a commercial truck.

Mike Meulens AT List member (meulenms at gmx.com) ; Charges in 5 seconds? Am i reading that correctly?

James AT List Member and advocate of upgradeable tractor vocational training (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com); I seem to remember that the Tesla plants were having problems with the safety authorities because Elon Musk did not like to paint anything safety yellow. Is that fact the tip of an iceberg?

 Carl Baker or Kim Lessor one or the other an AT List Member (hodor at warmrock.net); So, umm - now?  Tesla's truck is $10k less than a comparable F-150.  Chevrolet's Bolt (car) is about $10k more than a comparable gas car.  My Nissan Leaf charges in the 5 seconds it takes me to plug it in when I get home.  I don't have to stand there and watch it charge.  I also refuse to accept less convenience and less utility for higher cost.  Which is why I'm converting my fleet from gas to electric as quickly as I can afford it (not very quickly).  Honestly, I'm keen to convert my old Ford tractor to electric.  I'm tired of schlepping gas from the gas station for it.  Or roading it to the gas station to fill it up.  Which I should probably do today - a storm is expected....
