Hello,

Anyone on here got a Tesla Model-X and have some real-world towing facts.  Specifically, given the tow mass of your caravan what range do you get on a single charge?

I watched a YouTube video made by someone in Norway or Sweden give a range of about 106 miles for 2,200. KG, but that was in the winter and through mountainous terrain.

     That's OK then. 145 miles towing range, cost price £99,000.

    At that price it'd be cheaper to pay someone to get the caravan delivered to the site 🙄

    Yes, and have  you seen the tiny caravan being towed? Same goes for the C&MC Towcar of the year awards.

    Looking forward to the day when a EV will tow our Elddis Crusader for a minimum 300miles for around £40k, that would be real progress.

    All the Ferries that cross to mainland Europe have EV charging points,  also all the service and Aires over there also have quick charging EV pointssurprised

    On one of the Eriba forums a dutch owner is towing a Troll at 1000/1200kg with a Hyundai Ionic 5. He reports towing 160 miles with a potential 170/180 miles a realistic max. If you could double that range I'd be interested.

    That is what I thought, but I heard a rumour you can find a couple of hills in the south near Belgium. I've since discovered this is not fiction as we are booking a campsite at the bottom of one of these hills and been warned the town, Gulperberg, is at the top and it's a bit steep.

    I see from GoogleEarth that it drops by 70m from Margratren, some four miles away. Positively precipitous. wink
