Horsing around.. towing a horse trailer

[Fausto]

So, 3 days into ownership and the wife suggested we use the CT and trailer to head to her friends to pickup some stuff she left there.

I started doing some napkin math and watched some videos to get a rough idea of what to expect with a 70 mile roundtrip.

Worst case I was thinking about 1000wh/mi based on what I saw online so plugged in the truck and set it to 95% to cover any unknowns.

I let the wife drive as she has the most trailer experience. Now, to be clear, she drives like she's 90 years old. When hauling horses she babies the throttle and keeps within 55-60. Gives zero f's about other cars and basically is only concerned about the horses in the back. She basically simulated the same drive as if there were two horses in the back.

Well, the experience was fantastic and more surprising than anything was the efficiency. Round trip ended up being 75Miles @ 633Wh/mi

Her review was "it's as smooth as eggs” and I now am concerned I may not get the truck back.

Tl;Dr, much better than expected. Fantastic truck doing truck things!

@Fausto
1. You (like many others here) married well. Another +1 "spouse likes it" post. Keep 'em coming everyone!
2. Happy horses with that kind of driving.
2. Order another Cybertruck, ya' aint getting yours back!

Good to see you’re using the CT’s towing capabilities. I agree with the others that you should start ordering another one so this CT can stay with your wife.

looks like she gonna buy a damn comfortable saddle for you and keep the Cybertruck.

Now, if someone can just figure out how the CT can handle a 5th wheel?

Wife wants the trailer with the dressing room. LOL!

Good grief...I have the same problem. Bought her a top of the line Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel with all the bells and whistles for towing her babies and guess what...I have to ask if she is using Blitzen, today? She hasn't said that she loves it but she finds an excuse to take the CT over her Jeep. I also erred in demonstrating the sound system and set up access to her Amazon Music account and I can hear her coming down the road a 1/2 mile away as the bass rattles the doors on the barn...it is sort of scary. (She has also learned to monitor my location AND speed on the App when I drive so I hear, "Driving sort of frisky out there, aren't you?"...that feature sort of has killed our 'Boy's Night Out' getaways...Santa is losing control, here.
