Why Tesla's are bad at towing!

Only limit is range and recharging, Yes? EV should be very good when actually towing. Gobs of torque, always in just the right gear.

Not sure why you called out Tesla as they are as good as it gets right now for towing with a EV. Did you really mean LEAF, Bolt, Kona or something else?

Did you post this just to start an argument ?

Well there should not BE one.....because the Tesla wasn't designed to DO that. Neither was the VW bug and the list goes on.

I am still not convinced that electric is not just the rebound date of eco vehicle development. Fact is, it will take many decades to completely transform how we travel. There are limitations on electric capacity and battery technology that are very similar to fossil fuels. There very well may be a new technology developed within the life cycle of the electric vehicle that will be better and more sustainable.
