Would you buy an electric tractor?

Good Could that be a Freudian slip?

Am I actually afraid that this thing is going to burst into flame as I sleep upstairs?

That's what I was thinking! :laughing: Every night as I walk through my house, plugging in iPhones, laptops, tablets, etc... to charge overnight I just shake my head and hope the smoke detectors are working and the insurance is paid up. :laughing:

Hood
Short for neighborhood, but refers to ghetto neighborhood.

Our one-way streets were 3 lanes wide with a 35mph speed limit. Good luck trying to parallel park in that.

Trivial. Do it all the time. Simply stop and signal next to the open spot and wait until no one is immediately behind.

Same to leave. Signal to leave, stick your nose out a bit, wait a moment for an opening.

Driving in the city is not for wussies.

Monarch is getting more press and prime time reporting championing driver optional platform and combat warming...

California SF Bay Area in inovation with 50 orders and many heading to Europe...

As a side note... it's official... Elon Musk is now a Texas resident after butting heads with Covid restrictions at the Tesla Fremont plant...

A quote said other enterprises may follow in a parting shot...

Europe and China will continue to be the push behind electric tractors.and EV's in general.
I saw the interview with Musk last night.

It's been a total 180 in Europe...

Remember having long discussions with my engineering colleagues back when GM had the EV 1 and Ford was testing battery Ranger... even back in the 80's post office had an electric on the streets of Cupertino.

The Euro think at the time is battery tech would never replace the super fuel efficient diesels due to cold wether, snow and mountain passes...

Takes a lot of hp to plow through fresh snow not to mention heater/defrosters.

Wow. A 'hood' in indiana. Who knew? Is hood codeword for something for you? Can't quite figure out the slant you are taking? Seems objectively biased. Do you challenge your innate biases to the hood and God and all? Lol.

It's called Gary, IN. When you walk into a Church's Fried Chicken and employees are behind bullet proof glass and chicken is delivered on a bullet proof turntable, do you want to dine in?

It sounds interesting.

I thought it's the norm... Banks here have a holding cell where you are locked in and can't leave or proceed unless access granted... post office, fast-food, pharmacies, etc. are all plexi.

One of the features of the Monarch is operator optional... maybe Churches Chicken will have similar...

One of the features of the Monarch is operator optional.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose for why most of us bought a tractor in the first place?
