My experience with my own trucks is around 45% loss or so towing a 5000lb car and hauler combo. It really depends on terrain. Tesla had little to say for inquiries into the model x's towing range. The problem i see is that an extended range battery is a must on the dual motor CT.
The biggest issue I see is Tesla constantly avoiding the subject. The model x with even a moderate load drops to 40% of its range. Unless the CT has some crazy new motor or battery design I don't see any advantage or efficiency increase while it's towing. I expect it to lose electrons like...
They don't look like a Tesla inlay door handle. They're definitely looking like a standard f150 type handle. It's a test mule so thinking maybe it's saving money or just seeing how they work.
I personally would prefer an exposed handle. It routinely gets well below zero in LaCrosse wi. So...
There's definitely more than 1 of these doing testing. Im sure the standard door handles in the video will be more of the production model. I'm in a northern climate and if any part of the door doesn't work I'm screwed. So i expect standard exposed handles.
Its great to see an electric win a tug of war but that isn't what either of these vehicles were designed to do. I say load them with payload and a trailer and see what they can do. The p100d will barely make 100 miles at full towing capacity. That is the only weakness of this vehicle.
