It’s another case of a failed, hype based startup that never had a runway to profitability.

What makes you think electric tractors will never be a profitable product?

I didn't say that in anyway, I said that this was a failed, hype based startup. The two things are not the same.

All good. FWIW heavy machinery like this that can be used continuously for days has real obstacles to being electrified by battery power.

Electrification of everything shouldn't be the current goal IMO, the goal should be electrify now what can be easily electrified now and worry about the harder stuff down the track when the technology is more mature.
