You think the government gonna hire thousands of people to read millions of odemeters a year when they can just contract third parties to install a dongle to track it remotely, and we're just trusting they wont suck down all kinds of other information...

And we dont have to speculate, its already been implemented in pilot programs in some states. And was planned in Biden's instrastructure bill.

Outlines tools used to track driver’s miles driven

The bill lays out the various “vehicle-miles-traveled-collection tools” that would be used by the federal government to track drivers. These tools include third-party onboard diagnostic devices (GPS tracking devices), smart phone apps, data from automakers and data obtained by car insurance companies.

So add vehicle inspections to the list. And taxes can be prorated if the tire failed before being fully consumed.

Sure... except thats very unlikely to be implmented for the millions of vehicles when modern cars already have all the means to remotely report information. Pilot programs already opted to use dongles for remote reporting.

Tires have limited mileage, so effectively the same result and you dont the gov invading your privacy.

The motor is 200hp. If they introduce a 4wd model, most likely it will be a dual motor, effectively doubling the power. Even with a single motor, its more power than even a 1990 Toyota 4x4 with a v6.

Its not just about power that effects towing capacity, but the frame strength, suspension, the brake system, power train (transmission and axles), etc. The thing that hurts the towing capacity for the slate is that being an EV, its already carrying an additional 1,000 lbs from the battery.

Not all socialists are communists. Bernie is more a democratic socialist.

An abrams can travel at 25mph offroad. It'll be impossible to aim to hit it. The only way is to launch all your trebuchets and hope one hits it. If you miss, you're gonna have 60tons with multiple machine guns running you over in a few seconds.

67 million dollars for a tractor? Must've been a Lamborghini.
