I did my post as I was impressed with the Tesla.
I compared it to my Outback to show the Tesla was getting about the equivalent of 22 mpg towing a 5000 lb trailer at 60-70 mph average.
Not sure if a diesel pick-up will do any better with a 5000 lb trailer.
Range is the major problem but as they put in larger batteries the economy will suffer due to the extra weight. Unlike diesel or gas the weight does not decrease as the miles add up on a trip.
