But why would you want to tow a boat, if what you tow with, is a boat?

While I was clicking on the thread, In my head I was already going "come on Elon, you have got to be kidding, the CT is towing a boat through the water?! This guy is really nuts!"

Would be a good add though... ?

Very curious to see how it affects range. I agree with folks who say you don't really need more than about 350 miles of range for everyday driving or even road trips, but if a trailer drops your range to 175 miles then that gets real annoying real quick! Hence why a 500 mile range version that gets 250 miles when towing is so useful.

Modern day covered-wagon. How else am I supposed to get my boat and my truck to the other side of the river?

so I just heard from a reliable source the CT’s range in boat mode is well under 500 miles. That’s it for me, I’m outta here

Good point! You would need the full 500 miles of range to cross the Gulf of Alsaka, from Sitka to Kodiak Island.

And the real elephant in the room: I wonder what towing a tender would do the range in boat mode.

Nope, not for me either!

Maybe Elon and Franz don’t build or tow…

Cross steam is what will get people. They will try to cross a flooded river and end up floating downstream and banging into stuff and wanting to sue Tesla.
And Tesla will tell them they took the risk and the car kept them safe and upright to the best of its ability.
