I guess I'm just plain too old-fashioned to trust pure luck that much. The Los Banos area I drive through often has high cross winds to deal with.
Model X is fairly heavy with GVWR over 6000 and is very stable with a low center of gravity. Air suspension to keep it level. Range would be the primary issue although with a low profile trailer I assume Model X gets close to 75% of normal range. Probably about the same as my truck at 180 miles.
Model X seems to be pretty stable with low CG
