TFL Lightning towing test vs 500mi trip Rivian 30' Airstream by regular "All Electric Family"

[firsttruck]

Seems like this simple family is able to do better tests than the "unbiased" TFL crew.
Despite what TFL video shows, the "All Electric Family" proves long road trip while towing is possible & practical with a EV pickup truck.

This family also owns Tesla Model X and have towed 22' Airstream with it.

Posted a link to the Model X video and recommended getting a more efficient trailer in a couple other threads.

Unfortunately, I think the TFL morons are entirely too normal. Holiday season is just getting started and I’m seeing a plague of trucks with 2 quads on the back of the truck and a giant boxy camper pulled behind.

I’m sure they will complain loudly and often about gas prices then hop behind the wheel of their vehicle which is the perfect storm of inefficient transportation.
