I love this guy. Hard to argue with math.
Since Tesla seems to have the best range and best technology, Jason Fenske is using them as the best case scenario. And because no one else has specs on a consumer level electric PU, or has an electric car with any useful tow rating like the Model X. But you are correct, it is an EV problem.
Watch it again, he accounted for 60 mph towing.

:h who called out Tesla? Are you suggesting that Jason Fenske's analysis is flawed because it references Tesla?
Not flawed at all. Just that it is an EV problem not a Tesla problem.
Same as calling out FORD because the DEF hurts performance and economy when ALL have the same issues.

How many folks tow at 75 miles per hour? 55 would make more sense.
