Towing 3 tons of trailer, or more, at 65 mph for 250 to 300 miles before a recharge is needed? This is an RV forum. If it can't do that under common towing conditions, then for us it can't do that.
If you are expecting 15 minutes recharge cycle from a nearly fully drawn or drained battery, then this is not for you.
There is nothing yet except speculation of a claim of 500 mile range. Again, it's not yet independently tested under towing conditions nor to verify the range under actual driving conditions.
My own benchmark as I want a Tesla pick up mainly for my RV towing, is a range of 300 miles.
I usually take my lunch coinciding with my gas up which takes me about 45 to 1 hour, then that's much I tolerate for the recharging. My other wish list is that campsites will have superchargers.
Thank you. My point, exactly, is that an EV will not allow me to do what I do now with my ICE. Or, even get close.
And I'm pretty sure Tesla won't force you. ;):B
