When you're stranded, energy efficiency isn't the top concern: any solution that works could be an acceptable one. And it's probably a lot easier to tow a car

When you're stranded, energy efficiency isn't the top concern: any solution that works could be an acceptable one. And it's probably a lot easier to tow a car on a long straight road for awhile then cut them loose than it is to tow a car through intersections and into parking lots to find a charger.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoI work in automotive, I’ve seen some amazingly bad towing examples. Sounds like a decent solution to get two vehicles stranded. I would think unless the tide is coming in, getting a generator and hanging out for awhile would be a safer for everyone solution.

- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoThe former :) Tongue weight, what is it and how does it work? I guess we’ll never know!
