Yeah, I think it's was hype. It was the hot thing at the moment. The fad passed.
Any pricing yet on the new E tractors?

The video came out 7 years ago. It is still not in production. This is from the Fendt press release dated 11/12/2023.
Fully battery-electric: The Fendt e100 V Vario
"The Fendt e107 V Vario can be ordered from Agritechnica 2023 and will be produced at the Marktoberdorf tractor factory from the fourth quarter of 2024. The machines are initially available for the pilot markets of Germany, Norway and the Netherlands from qualified dealers. Availability will be gradually expanded, depending on the infrastructure in the regions as well as in the trade."

That thing has never seen a second of mud, dirt, grass or cow crap on it. It's a poser tractor. Everyone is standing around it ohhhing and ahhhhing, but it just sits there. Big press release for the greenies.......and then nuthin. Hook it to a 8 bottom plow and go turn some dirt with it and lets see how many minutes it lasts before it has to limp back to the massive diesel powered generator for a full charge.

Obvious now that the NH and IH ones were fake show pieces because there has been absolutely ZERO mention of them ever since they first announced them. LOL

Well luckily when the day comes they stop selling us gas and fuel, my 1952 and 55 Allis's will run on almost any liquid that is somewhat flammable, LOL

They basically fell off the face of the earth over a year ago. What few dealers there were, they were left stuck with un-bought inventory, couldn't get any parts, no service, no warranty repairs. All e-mails went unanswered for months. All of the phone calls went unanswered to the factory. The only thing that was active for a while was a website on some server, claiming how great their product and service was.
They even skipped town on the rent for the building they were in.I saw a few video reviews. I must say, I wasn't impressed even with it swinging a small brush cutter in 12"-15" grass. If I remember correctly, the thing wen't into limp mode on the way back to the guys shop after a couple of hours of light grass clipping.
