Why Tesla's are bad at towing!

A lot comes down to the type of towing you do. Granted, most people on this forum are expected to hitch up a camper and go cross country so range is very important. On the other hand, I tow a trailer most every day with my business but rarely travel more than 120 miles in a day and there are probably quite a few contractors that meet that description. The Tesla truck would probably work out very well for me. There are quite a few people that just want to run down to the building supply store and pick up some lumber. The Model Y towing a small trailer would work for that. The advance orders for the Semi are mostly from companies with defined runs less than 500 miles between facilities that they own and can put charging stations at. I think that we will see EV's towing trailers first in niche markets then expanding. It would also be nice for me to be able to leave home every day fully charged and not have to worry with getting my trailer through gas stations.

Meanwhile, Tesla keeps improving battery life and charging rates. This will make the EV as a tow vehicle more and more practical as time goes by.

Agree. My daughter owns a Tesla X and move around California and Nevada for her business.

99% of time she charges at home. You cannot anymore tell her to go back to ICE with the convenience and cool factor she is having with Tesla.

I ordered my Cybertruck to pull my travel trailer. If I can get 150 to 200 miles in between charging, I'll be ok with it as this is also my stops right now for gas, lunch and bathroom breaks. And think of the savings in gas and maintenance.
