TESLAS CAN'T TOW ACROSS COUNTRY — WATCH US TRY AND FAIL! | ADVENTURE X EP.7

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a challenging cross-country towing attempt with a Tesla Model X, ultimately concluding that Teslas, in their current state, are not suitable for long-distance towing in America. The primary issue identified is drastically reduced range and significantly increased travel time, with the trip estimated to take seven hours longer than a conventional vehicle. The reviewer highlights the inadequacy of Tesla's native navigation and range prediction systems when towing, recommending third-party apps like 'Better Route Planner' as a more reliable, albeit still imperfect, alternative. While acknowledging the Model X's instant torque and stable towing dynamics, the overwhelming consensus is that the practical limitations—excessive charging stops, range anxiety, and the sheer time commitment—render it unviable for towing tasks that require daily reliability or strict deadlines. The experiment was ultimately abandoned in favor of a gasoline-powered Land Cruiser, underscoring the current gap between EV capabilities and traditional truck utility for towing.
