My son has a Tesla 3. He loves it and I have to admit I am fascinated by the technology and performance. He can travel from his house to mine (241 miles) on a fully charged battery in the summer with AC running. This is 95% interstate highway (I83, I76 PA turnpike, and I376). Coming from his house to mine is a gradual uphill climb. In the winter he has to stop at a super charger station about 3/4 way here. They stop at a restaurant where a supercharger is and in half an hour the car is charged for a lot more than the rest of the trip takes. The batteries are less efficient in cold weather and the heater takes more energy than the ac. The thing I find both amazing and a little alarming is that updates to battery performance and the cars other systems are done by an automatic download to the car's computer. His driving range has increased just through system downloads. My son isn't an environmental nut but is a computer engineer and likes the technology and performance. As battery technology improves and the charging infrastructure grows the EV will become more the norm. My son wants me to put my order in for the model Y but I'm old and it's sort like buying shoes on line, I want to try them on before I put my money down. And to make this tractor related I saw a headline that John Deere is committed to electric tractors. Phil

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
