Burks Tractor, an Idaho dealership, sued Monarch Tractor in Idaho state court (case later moved to federal court) for breach of contract and warranty, alleging the 10 electric "driver-optional" tractors it purchased for $773,088 continued to have significant problems and never delivered the full autonomous operation shown in Monarch's demo videos. Monarch denied the allegations in a court filing.
