I was filling up with cheap for me diesel at a brand new HEB, then saw this guy leaving the gas pump. The Tesla has no license plates as well. Bud Light man of genius. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-10454-396323-img_9740.jpg)

The license plates will be well hidden. I hope his transmission falls out.

EVs will eventually have them and it's something that ZF, GNK, and Continental are all working on. I don't know about y'all but my rule of thumb when towing is that I want what I'm towing with to outweigh what I'm towing. I know the Tesla's are kind of heavy but I don't have any idea what a pontoon boat weighs.

I want to be at the boat ramp for all of this!!!! Me too. I know pontoon boats are aluminum and by virtue of design, more bulk than weight, but I still want to be at the boat ramp.

Probably have to back it in far enough to float that car to get it off the trailer.

You might see fireworks if the batteries in the belly of the car get wet. Didn't several catch fire after a Florida hurricane?

Probably have to back it in far enough to float that car to get it off the trailer. with the angle of the trailer, this is highly probable. the question is ... does he know what happens when a lithium battery is introduced to water ... it isn't pretty

When I was a younger broker man I pulled my bass boat with a 4 banger 5 speed Nissan truck and knew it was too much. It cost me a transmission. I wonder if this guy knows he's wrong, and what it will cost him.

I’m thinking that he’ll have to go to a very close lake. Let’s see…hot day, big boat, running AC, possible wet battery. What could go wrong?

Boat will weigh anywhere between 1500 to 3000 pounds, depending on the weight of the motor and how much seating there is. Depending on which Tesla that is, it can tow 3500 to 5000 pounds, but I wouldn't try it.

We had a pontoon boat for a while...pulled it with a 2001 F150 SuperCrew...The way the boat caught wind, I might as well have been dragging a freaking billboard or a barn behind me. I hate towing a pontoon boat.

It's not the weight. The car has a lot more power than some might think. It's the idea of getting the car in the water to launch the boat that is the issue.
Pass the gravy.
