Looks like I am a bit late to respond, however wanted to chime-in with my story of buying a 2018 MX new with free SC and no thoughts of towing, ever. 7 years later I have 197k miles total with 60k of that towing a small Airstream. The only reason I haven't purchased a CT yet (ordered on the...
Varies significantly based on wind direction, speed, AC usage, elevation change. Anywhere from 500 to 800 wh/mile+/-. Efficiency of displayed range is generally around 45-55%, but can go down to 35% (e.g., if 260 miles of range displayed at start, actual range can be anywhere between 90 and...
As a civil engineer who designs roadways, something folks don't understand is at least for freeways, if there were no semis or other similar vehicles and only passenger cars and light trucks, the roadway surfaces would never need repairs..
Tru dat. I have been constantly amazed at the ability of the MX to handle treacherous conditions. I also drove through SD the day after they reopened I-90 in the winter of 2022 heading up to HIbbing for xmas with my wife and son (the drifts were touching the over-passes..), and before heading...
Nice post. I travelled from Northern MN through ND on my way home back to CA the day after xmas winter of 2023 in a MX when they closed I-94 due to ice. Spent 12hrs parked in a Dickinson, ND truck stop with camp mode trying to get some sleep. Only used about 20mi of range.. Having grown up...
Alert-This is a well-meaning comment based on extensive towing with a 2018 Model X 100D (I have not yet ordered my reserved CT-waiting for the hoped-for price drop) to share some of my learnings to make towing easier. Our vehicle show 265mi of max displayed range after 157k miles (10%...
All great points. I have had ours since 9/2018 and LOVE it. We got the 7 seat interior-VERY useful when needed and out of the way otherwise. I pull an airstream and can go about 100 miles at 55mph (depending on wind). :)
Here is some towing data. Caravel is around 3,500lbs and 9’7” tall.

I have been asked to start posting some of my trip data. Here is raw data for several trips taken since purchasing our trailer in summer of 2021. Hopefully this information will help others to understand the challenges and that it is feasible to tow long-distances (it just takes some extra...
