For what it is worth, having to stop for 1/2
hr to charge every 2-3 hours and driving in the left lane with the professional
truck drivers and slight lower speeds makes for much more relaxed travel. Back
to the topic of towing, the extra mass of the Model X (5500 lb) makes it a very
stable towing platform. With the exceptions of a 35% reduction in range and
not being able to see much out the back window, I barely noticed I was pulling
a 30 foot trailer. The ample torque also allows for worry free and nearly
instantaneous passing ability. A fellow Model X owner once told me, and after
having driven mine for 3 years I must agree, none of the things you think would
be a problem with an electric vehicle (especially a Tesla) are actually
problems.

You are still driving faster, though stopping about as often, as I do in my
motorhome towing my trailer. I fantasize about pickup/van electric propulsion
migrating to small(ish) motorhomes like mine, so I can get more than 400 miles out
of a 50 gallon tank. And, maybe get much better acceleration onto the freeways and
around the folks going 55 in the 65 lane.

Not sure which fantasy will arrive first, just hoping I last long enough to at
least see one appear: electric motorhomes or self-driving motorhomes.
