Is the tow capacity following SAE standards that all the OEM's previously signed up for? I couldn't find anything on their website.

Look at the Airstream being towed by another white Tesla Model X SUV here:

No idea. An e-mail to the company might work. Don’t know.

That is street legal?

Even if it is I would rather drive the Tesla. Any range anxiety on that streeter?

To a company that has no communication department?

Maybe a tweet would get the CEO to confirm [emoticon]

Yah good point. There is a general email. Or pop by a showroom and have them inquire. They are pretty good that way. Or maybe an online chat on their website. Might work. We did that when we had questions about installing our P3 Tekonsha brake controller.

Cheers.

It has a 572 CI BBC in it.

Yes, it is street legal with a plate, windshield wiper, headlights and everything. With a 10 gallon tank it can go about as far as a Tesla towing a small camp trailer. So ya, it sucks to go long distances just like the Tesla does. [emoticon]

The thing is I can fill my "battery" up in about 2 minutes and I'm on the road again. Oh, and I could have bought 1 Tesla or about 12 street rods. 150K buys a lot of gas.

Anybody seen the Semi? Even Tusk is talking about other things and has forgot about the lies he told about the Semi. How many million miles of testing does the Semi have now? How many million tons of freight has the Semi hauled while testing? Is there any video's of the Semi driving long distances? Or driving any distances?

The Semi is still MIA. (don't tell me, don't tell me....the end of this year. Right?
