Thanks. The KZreadrs do dribble on with a lot of filler BS of no interest. We just want the stars. Start with that and if we are interested then witter on about whatever turgid personal insights you have later... Just for the clicks it's just.... Tiresome. Thanks heaps for posting the range they got. Just couldn't bring myself to watch more than a minute or two of this dull sh1te. Just the fn facts man.

I currently tow a 3000 lbs camper with a MY LR, and just upgraded to a MX for the extra weight limit. Thanks for posting the video.

Does your camper line up perfectly or are you raising the ball height more than .75"?

I am looking at the Model X for towing. Thanks for the video.

Thanks a lot for the video!

If you turn off Trailer Mode, you can use AP while keeping basic trailer functions like lights and sensor cut off.

Thanks for sharing. Would love to know if the trailer had trailer brakes enabled.

Good explication, tank’s!

Any special you did on the hitch, or using just the normal Tesla provided hitch?

Great video, Thanks

We tow with our model x long range which has 670hp. Trailer, is a flat pop-up that weighs 3300lbs and it tows it like nothing. You can easily keep up or even pass many vehicles in the mountains. However, we only get about 40% range. Maybe the plaid being even less strained would be even better.

The problem is range, charging time, and ease of charging. But most of the problems are supercharging with the trailer. Fix that by adding more tow compatable chargers and we're good. Just make them near food and grocery outlets

Did you use a brake controller and weight distribution hitch?

Isn’t the 22”s reduce the weight cap of towing ?

Oh yeah. I think down to 3500 lbs

Hello there, I was been doing some research about how the standard Tesla hitch receiver tongue weight ( hitch receiver comes with the car) can handle but I found two different info The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads of up to 120 lbs (54 kg) when the load is cantilevered rearward within 24 inches (63 cm) of the hitch receiver, and The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue weight, must never exceed 500lbs I wonder what is true I’m so confuse would you please help me wi the my questions and are you using the standard towing hitch comes with the car? Thank you so much

Basjcally, the tongue weight limit for towing anything on a trailer is 500lbs. The tongue weight limit is 120lbs for carrying bikes, etc that are not sitting on a trailer, so therefore are creating vertical weight. Hope this helps. Your biggest concern though is not violating the spec clearly spelled out in the manual that you cannot raise the ball height more than .75” so basically you can’t tow anything on a trailer unless it lines up perfectly and good luck finding one. I can’t find a single trailer in the state of WA that lines up that perfectly.

Did you use the standard receiver hitch? My understanding is the hitch only has a permissible tongue weight of 120 pounds.

Subscribed and looking forward watching videos like this. In Germany you can hardly find objective reviews - the so-called „Diesel-Dieter“ and „Benzin-Bernd“ always have to mention range and often any issues they heard about frequenting some bars… Also the ability to remain at speeds over 130 mph (in their opinion usual for german Autobahn) makes the hole change of mobility kind of irrational. Somehow it is comparable to gun rights in the U.S. When trying to restrict the Constitution counts, otherwise they don’t give a f*** for. Just my opinion… Greetz from Germany😀

Very German comment though 😂👌 I drive 130mph a lot and daily with my Tesla. Also works well :)

Biggest problem in the EU towing your caravan with an EV is that we have to decouple the trailer 8 out of 10 times when you want too charge. If i can drive 130-150 miles on 1 charge, that would be acceptable for me, provided the vehicle has fast charging. Furthermore, charging nowadays is insanely expensive on or near highways in Europe. So why trade in my Mazda CX-5 diesel? #dieseldieter.

@@micheljansen85 It’s an interesting statement. I average highway charging of 30 cents. With my non Tesla it’s somewhere around 45cents. That’s not too expensive. Decoupling sucks, but it’s less than 50% when you charge at Tesla Stations (which are all public). Obviously you wouldn’t buy an EV specifically for fulltime or commercial towing but it works well with small or medium trailers/caravans. I’d say I take the trouble of ev towing every once in a while instead of trading it in for a combustion car.

This is very dangerous! I have a new Model X and have spoken to Tesla and Bosal who manufactures the hitch that comes with the Model X and Model Y and both have confirmed the hitch is not designed to pull anything, regardless of weight, unless the trailer height lines up perfectly with the hitch. The manual clearly states no more than a .75” rise is allowed for the ball adapter. So if you are raising the ball more than that you are putting yourself and everyone on the road at risk. That hitch has two pieces and cannot handle any amount of trailer weight higher than .75”. I’ve looked all over and I can’t find a single trailer at any boat dealer, camper dealer, Home Depot, or even U-Haul that lines up perfectly and adheres to Tesla’s towing spec. So how are you all towing your trailers? Are you not concerned about the hitch failing? It scares the piss out of me and my family so right now we are not towing any trailers with our Model X. Thoughts?
