Model X was so popular in Norway in the beginning, due to being one of the first EVs that could really tow at all. Model S didn't allow for it, in the beginning. It still has a really competitive rated towing limit here in Europe!
On our 2016 MX, it prevents you from disabling Trailer Mode if the weight is large enough. Our 2700lb RV is heavy enough to prevent disabling. A half empty 4x8 U-Haul utility trailer is fine to turn off trailer mode.
My 2016 MX doesn't prevent me from disabling Trailer Mode with my travel trailer that weighs in around 4000+ lbs. I'm surprised it's different than yours.
Been Jonesing for this one since I saw a few quick clips of the X towing in another intro to one of your videos. We have Plaidington's twin (except for a yoke) so we're a little biased but, typical OOS video with the good, bad and everything in-between. Yes, there's power for days with the Plaid but glad to hear it's relatively compliant with towing its max weight and the whole team created a great video. Thanks Kyle!
Awesome video outofspec but if anyone from outofspec is reading this comment can you keep that bot off this channel now! The one that has a comment at the top of the comments! It’s been around for too long on this channel! Sorry if my request is hard but thank you so much if you can do it.
I'd love to see how the regen on the cybertruck does at equivalent gross weight. Could be a good indication of whats going on behind the scenes with the regen limits. I anticipate Tesla will improve the vehicle dynamics, including regen, on the cybertruck over the next 2-3 years as more data is collected.
Considering they have improvements to the charge curve coming soon, I think the regen is potentially limited for the same reason. Hopefully it improves over time like you said
Why not just build a charge cable extension cord and solve the pull thru issue for the most part for now. I thought I saw them on aliexpress. Easy build
I was on some wash boards in my Model Y just last night. The NVH was absolutely horrible. Was getting the drum feeling from the tailgate, the car was super bouncy. I was super disappointed
wow! mine has never predicted accurately with anything I've towed, though all I've towed save for one trip are various sizes and shapes of cargo trailers.
My "Legacy" P100D also comes up with humorous explanations for what is following us, but later versions of the software do a decent job of filtering it out altogether.
that AP thing has been in there for years at least on legacy, I'm not ready to try that since I'm still on warranty and the scare stuff they told us back in the day about towing with an aftermarket hitch without first getting the towing software. I have had two phantom braking events while towing, but my car has rarely had phantom braking less than a dozen incidents ever that I can recall.
Hello Kyle, I'm going to be getting a Model X in the near future. I'm going to be towing from time to time, and here's a question that I've asked Tesla for which they had no answer. To me it seems logical that the tri-motor 1082hp configuration in the Plaid would be more efficient than the dual-motor 600hp. What are your thoughts?
18:51 A front charge port does not solve this problem either. You're a vehicle with a trailer, you can't just pull in with a trailer sticking out 20 plus feet into the parking lot. That's not a viable long term solution. EV charging stations are designed fundamentally wrong. They should have been built like Islands, like every single gas station in existence. They decided to save money and now it doesn't scale.
I get the feeling the factory aims the headlights just a bit too high. I get the occasional high beam flash with standard beams. That and newer cars of all makes use bright LEDs now.
It can't be stressed enough to NEVER use Autopilot while towing. Ever. For any reason. Regardless of how 'on it' you think you are.....NEVER. You are risking your load, your life, and the life of others on the road.
Having Alyssa and Jordan on those cameras is quite a one-two punch! Great video Kyle!
Pretty awesome. Seems perfectly fine for towing. I can't wait to see the EV9 rustic ring test.
Norway seems to have a lot of pull through style charging stations watching Bjorn's videos. USA chargers should be designed similarly

Cant wait for EV9 Ring run
Kyle love your enthusiasm and excitement, oh and youth :) love your reviews all of them
Been waiting for this one!
what a legend reversing with a trailer and holding a coffee all in a work day for Kyle
ABC...always be on the Rustic Ring!!!
I wish there was a 120kWh version of the Model X. That would be the ultimate road tripper!

Where’s the Rivian rustic ring? Moving on to suv before finishing trucks?

Amazing 😮
what exactly!? a 1020hp vehicle that can barely tow 5000lbs while a diesel similar bmw x5 with 260hp tows over 7000lbs WTF!!!!
Kyle, love your channel. 5thany chance you could share your ideas on a 2014 electric smart car i am looking at. Thank you.

lol!!!!!
Model Y next please. Same trailer with an atv or deck mower or something I suppose.
You've got skills, keep honing them
bots are 🗑️

I'm getting to that age where I see that new tree near the concrete and the building causing issues with cracks and shifting
Cool
real ones watched the gopro time lapse at the end
"Felt nothing" - that's what she said 😂
actually felt the range go down lol!!!
I was on some wash boards in my Model Y just last night. The NVH was absolutely horrible. Was getting the drum feeling from the tailgate, the car was super bouncy. I was super disappointed
More Rivian content please
Wow, still snow on the ground. Y'all film this in March/April?
Yeah, this was filmed quite a while ago.
How is the rear tire wear on long Trips (you mentioned that you did a 1000 mile stint at another time)
Tesla really needs to implement offline maps. At least it should cache your roadtrip of you enter it in the nav
Now this is the kind of stupid stuff I love to see! Making dreams come true
Have you done a model Y towing video yet? Curious how it would do.
He mentioned early on in this video that he will try that one day with a lighter load than this
Rustic ring sounds too much like rusty ring, did a double take first time Kyle said it!
I tow with my Model X, was one of the reasons for giving up the Model S
that part the efficiency and infrastructure
wow! mine has never predicted accurately with anything I've towed, though all I've towed save for one trip are various sizes and shapes of cargo trailers.

3:33 why?
Dual motor vs Plaid for sure!!!!!
👍👍
Hopefully Tesla will implement steer by wire in the next Model S and X
it will change nothing lol!!!
Which would you keep, Model X Plaid or Rivian R1S 2nd Gen?

Compares an x to a hummer. Of course he does.
I just moved into a trailer park and started watching NASCAR. I think Teslas are out of the picture for me, for a while.
Naw, perfect time to get a 2013 Model S with free charging!
@@ALRinaldi - I don't think the Tesla would blend in too well. UNLESS maybe I put a bunch of NASCAR stickers on it!!! YES!
If Tesla has such great thermo management why was there no Tesla at the Pikes Peak event this year. Only EVs were Ford and Hyundai
Towing is about suspension and tires not about power so no point in redoing with a non plaid
So auto high beam is the reason Teslas drive with high beams on in the oncoming lane? It’s extremely annoying.

Tesla is great
not when the 1000hp tesla tows 5000lbs while a bmw x5 with 260hp tows over 7000lbs lol!!!
its quite a surprise to me that a 1000hp Ev can barely tow 5000lbs while a less than 300hp bmw x5 diesel tows over 7000lbs, crazy crazy!
Wdym it towed it no problem no power limit
@@mcsike7264 can you actually read? did i said it had a problem towing?! what is wrong with you people?!
@@mcsike7264 those 400hp diesel trucks that tows about 20,000lbs+ compared to the 850hp tesla!
Now talk about the 0-60mph acceleration times.
@@alanmay7929 Yeah, you said it "can barely tow 5000lbs." Nobody else is seeing that. What is wrong with you people?!
I'm back I was muted for 24 hours cas I say the truth about everything
Talk too much before so I skipped most or it mute Fast forward... No music in dead periods on road.. ;-(
