Tesla Model X Towing 5,000-lb Camper: 600-Mile Road Trip

At least they seem to be good sports about the challenges. About 12 minutes in they discuss enjoying the journey a bit more instead of just zooming to the destination asap. They might gain as much as some would say they lose for this change in travel. Otherwise I agree the battery needs to be 2x or more to continue with what people are used to. Might do better with a pop-up or Trail Manor low profile trailer.

Yah I agree Chris. A pop up or maybe something like an A-liner would probably make a huge difference. The model X is rated for 5000 pounds but the model Y is only rated for 3500 pounds so almost a necessity to go to something like an Aliner. The model 3 is only rated for 2000 pounds (990 KG) and only in Europe.

This is what I mean. This would be easier for charging with a trailer but it would have to be small. In other words a Cybertruck pulling a 22 foot trailer would stick out.

Lots of obstacles to overcome yet. It'll happen.



Most seem to be set up like this which would require unhooking. Ugh
