But certainly ICE still reign if you need to tow with todays technology.
As someone said above, stop using today as indicators for tomorrow. Just because EV's suck today for towing, does not mean they will in the future. The ICE vehicle saw challenges when they just started and look at the progress. Computers had issues and look at today. Look at planes and see where we are today. You would be the person back then ready to declare every one of them failures. People didn't trust jet aircraft back in the 50's because it lacked a propeller. Now today people don't trust a plane with propellers.

Of course, anyone who resists this big push to EVs are now anti-progress, knuckle dragging, chuckleheads with regards to technology. Just ignore the potential issues with the grid, which we all depend on in some measure. You’re free to enjoy your Tesla 3 and the tax credits that came with it. You won. The EPA is on your side, obviously. Enjoy those tax credits as ICE proponents/ users are surely exposed to economic penalties of various forms in the near and distant future. The gas guzzler tax is more of a ‘luxury’ tax now, but the threshold will of course be lowered.
Just curious, do you tow anything? Do you own a boat? Would you be willing to admit that the likely reason Ford chose to produce and can market this ‘truck’ is a haste in the market born from government picking winners and losers? I know sales were lagging, but is a similar dynamic playing a role with GM punting the next generation Camaro?
Everyone wants progress; the underlying philosophical difference being is it a transition pushed in haste by centralized power like the EPA, or should it be based in the free market. The same argument can be made for domestic energy development.
