quote:kork....i took this as a shite on the battery capacity. not the torque in electric motors. I thought it was common knowledge electric motors were the go to for torque. All modern train locomotives are electric they just have huge diesel generators
The drop in range for a given load will be very similar to the drop for a traditional ICE truck.
There are legit reasons to shite on EVs, but anything to do with towing is NOT one of them. Electric motors have gobs of torque through the entire RPM range. You can pick literally any other aspect of an EV and have a more valid complaint than this one.

Not sure why Tesla won't publish towing numbers. Unless they really are that bad.
Tesla will sell some of these, but the price is going to limit the numbers severely.

quote:I got that, but it's a non-issue. If an ICE vehicle gets 400 miles per tank without towing and 250 while towing, then an EV that gets 400 miles per charge without towing will get about 250 miles per charge towing that same load. That was the counter to his argument. I just went on to other reasons why it's not smart to knock an EV for anything to do with towing.
