I enjoyed those videos.
Clearly not a good candidate for long-distance towing, but for a typical suburban family towing their boat to the nearest river or lake, it would be fine!
I would like to see them repeat the test with a more modest towing speed. Just because you can tow uphill at the speed limit, doesn't mean to you have to... Also towing something with less frontal area would probably better represent a more typical trailer load for model X owners.
FWIW - I'm pretty sure my next vehicle purchase will be electrified, although probably not full EV. The 500 HP, 630 ft-lbs or torque, in the new Lincoln Aviator hybrid, is pretty promising!
I feel a small travel trailer would represent what most Model X owners would tow and agree slowing down would be more real world. Of course climbing the Ike is what they are all about at TFL but I'd love to see figures for 55-65mph on flat highway as that's where most of the time will be spent while towing.
