  1. Not a problem if towing on a rollback carrier and the operator uses straps instead of chains. A good rollback operator would get that instantly because dumping a vehicle is quick as cutting the straps on the rear in a dire emergency if it's dangerous to release ratchet straps then raising the bed and paying out the winch line letting gravity unload the vehicle which it will do even with wheels locked. I keep a good serrated knife for cutting seat belts in salvage yards (they make nice engine lifting straps) and those will cut through a tow bridle strap laughing all the way. No sane operator would "avoid" a paying job so that smells like he was having you on.

  2.  @ChadBoss-qr4hl  Whiners are already in a bad mood and most non-mechanics think everything should be free. They should price towing equipment, shop insurance, real estate for the tow yard, vehicle liability coverage, tools and equipment but they won't as the typical non-technical human is helpless as an infant.

  3. EV are still so early in their development that no reason exists for other than the wealthy to own one. This is quite like the first two decades of the last century and as NEW VEHICLES ARE TOY PURCHASES it does not matter much. There will be legal difficulties imposed on ICE owners, but that's the free choice of voters in nations indifferent to individual freedom of choice. I don't live there and have enough vehicles for the next thirty years and am stocking sufficient spares. Mechanics will ride, the rest will pay, and they did this to themselves eyes wide open.

  4. I don't forget only currently available tech is relevant. BTW the first ICE piston engine was the Lenoir invented in the late 1850s.
