Only 85 miles. Good thing they didn't need to also run the heater or AC.

Early in the BB's EV truck posts it was brought up questioning what would towing do to truck battery range. Add a 2 or 3 ton antique car to that trailer and hot weather AC need while traveling to a summer car show, and you may end up towing the truck with the antique car.

Here is an update on the 2022 Model Y with the three piece assembly for
the entire vehicle .done by Sandy Monroe.
See how far behind auto manufacturers are behind Tesla...
When will they go bankrupt?? Probably soon...
Why would anyone stay in the past when the future is here???
A car chassis in 3 pieces and a battery , eliminating 100's of
parts and the material and stamping,forming and welding with
hundreds of robots and a long assembly line.
