R. B. 'Bucky" Fuller demonstrated how to 'jitterbug' an octahedron (sitting on one face) into an icosahedron with 2 1/2 times the volume. If I could figure out how to prolate that, I'd have something.

Tesla seems like a good state-of-the-art tow vehicle option, or should I say Ludicrous option?

OTOH maybe a custom tow vehicle could be specced out. Maybe a Tesla-camino with a doubled up battery pack. Maybe the 2-speed planetary gearbox that will pass 500hp that EVTV showed in a Dodge truck. Or their Tesla drivetrain with Quaife limited slip differential so it can be mounted in non-Tesla suspension parts.

For the price of a Tesla, you could have an EV Metro and a Bambi.
