I thought there was some kind of “laws of physics” issue that kept long haul semis from being converted to EV.  The phrase I read here on Jalopnik was “they don’t scale up”.

Agreed.  Given the size of the horses versus the size of the farmer, I believe they are Clydesdales.

I can smell the weed from here...

The creators of Peppa Pig should sue.
