towing with a Tesla

In the same way 26 gallon fuel tanks are a deal breaker when towing. Stopping every 2 hours to charge would also be a deal breaker.
Sure I could deal with it for a one time trip, but being limited to 2 hour travel intervals would not be practical for me.

Lets do a little math for a real comparison.

We learn from this site that the biggest battery you can get in a Tesla 3 is 85kwh.

We also learn from this site that 33.7kwh is equivalent to 1 gallon of gasoline.

So, with the biggest battery you can get in a M3 you have the equivalent of 3 gallons of gas on board.

Electric motors are "around" twice as efficient as a gasoline engine so now we have around 6 gallons of gas on board in our "electric car."

Now, a low profile car is going to get better mileage and so is the Airstream over a truck and a box.

So lets be generous and say our electric car has a 8 gallon tank. How far do you think you will get on an 8 gallon tank towing that trailer?

They are called the "LAWS" of physic's for a reason. They are not suggestions. They are laws.

BTW I would love to see that guy do 600 mile in a day with that setup.
