My bet is on them working their way into being put into a vehicle classification that allows them to do whatever they want.

I can see some enterprising Tesla lawyers propose that because of weight and towing power its actually a tractor if they just add some special legal connector.

Cause it’s electric they would wedge it into some newly defined class of “electric tractors.”

I’ve seen crazier

That be great, tractors are banned to be used within cities and on highways (in many places).

That’s no problem, city and suburbs are already full of Teslas

The idea is to go after the f150/raptor/ram market and that’s mostly exurb and suburb

As I said, I'd be very happy about it being classified as a tractor because then it won't come close to any pedestrian-heavy areas like cities, which this machine seems to purposefully be as hostile to as possible.

Elon asks for an infinite torque mode and shoots a video of the cyber truck pulling a tiller followed by dual anhydrous ammonia tanks, turns to the camera and says "America Needs Farmers" to make sure the pandering is effective. Now it's definitely a tractor, no argument possible lol
