Yes, it is street legal with a plate, windshield wiper, headlights and everything. With a 10 gallon tank it can go about as far as a Tesla towing a small camp trailer. So ya, it sucks to go long distances just like the Tesla does.

So you must compare Tesla towing to your vehicle NOT towing?

Why not compare both towing or both not towing?

I speculate that thing has never taken a 100 mile road trip unless it was on a trailer. I think the Tesla would tow it better than it would tow the tesla.

Don't get mad at me because you were wrong about my car.

Like I said, both suck at going long distances. If I wanted to go long distances I would take my truck. It can go over 650 miles without filling up. (or about 350 miles towing) Or I take my plug in. It can go over 600 miles without filling up. I don't tow with my PIHB. That would be silly.

I don't tow with my 32 LOL. That would be silly. Much like towing with a Tesla is silly.. If I want to beat a Tesla on a track I take my 32. And if I wanted my 32 to go long distances I would just throw a few tanks of fuel in it. You see, I can take a lot of energy with me. Unlike the Tesla.

Simple, the right tool for the right job.

Can someone give me a date when I will see the Semi on the road towing 5 to 700 miles with 80K total lbs just like Tusk said it would? Or are we just going to post articles that have been wrong time and time again. [emoticon]

Are those rear tires DOT approved? How long would they last at 70mph on the interstate?
In some areas there could be a noise ordinance.

Has anyone seen Pepsi delivering with the electric semi?

Hey thats a nice antique,
Too bad youd lose control in first corner and kill yourself and few bystanders.

Tesla on the other hand can impress even the furiously drifty crowd [emoticon]

Also best thing is Tesla can go 100 miles easy for couple bucks worth of electric.
ICE age is dead.

Two more trucks built less than five years after the rollout? Outstanding!
