Tesla is going to compete against Ford with a Model T?

Really?
NICE!! Talk about the world coming full circle lol

Seems like an interesting idea, Maybe the batteries will be packed under the hood much like an engine, and the rear will be special built with the motor directly attached to it...thus giving a better weight distribution since the motor will probably weigh as much or more than a new 6speed auto trans.

Either way, don't think tradesmen will adopt it quickly, but since most trucks sold in USA are NEVER used to haul much of anything, I'm sure the suburbs will love an electric truck.
