Hi Folks. We are members on the Tesla forum (although we do't own one) and I ran across an interesting thread from a model X owner towing his Airstream Bambi. Interesting thread that highlights the challenges and successes of towing a travel trailer with a long range Electric Vehicle. Might be interesting to follow.
Both of our daily driver vehicles are Electrics (2016 Nissan Leaf and 2015 Cabrio Smart ED) but neither are rated for towing or have a factory hitch. The Nissan has a hitch available for it but we would only use it for something like an A-liner but I doubt we would go down this road as the leaf is not a long range vehicle altough it suits our needs well. We are about three years away from selling the pusher and and downsizing to a small trailer that we can pull behind our next EV. Don't know what that will be yet but there will be a lot more models available by then.
Anyway, hope some of you find this thread interesting. Safe travels all.
Here is the thread.

Thanks for this newest info. There were many electric and hybrids at the NYC Auto Show but I walked by most regretfully knowing that towing is not recommended with most.
