Strangest item Towed?

[hmcgregoraz]

Hi,

I had a wireless networking project at my house, and a friends house, that really required a boom lift.

We tried a 34 foot (available in Tucson), but could not reach what we needed to reach, and had to rent a 50 foot tow behind lift in Phoenix. Towed both the 34 and the 50 footer with the Model X. Had to charge a lot of course, but it did great.

I am wondering if anyone else has towed anything this strange as well? The Model X 90D did great, bit of a pain to unhitch and charge, not much of an issue in Casa Grande, but a major pain in Scottsdale. The rental pickup was in north Phoenix, and the drop off was in Chandler, so not as painful as pickup. Drove Tucson to the rental pickup, then charged in Scottsdale, then Casa Grande to charge more, then home.

Here is a photo of it:

Not quite as dramatic, but in the same vein...

Used the digger to dig a trench for a retaining wall. Filling with diesel. I hear this will be Elon's next electrification project.

Towing my BX 25d, it works well. The looks going down the freeway are always the best

what are the estimated weights of those things? I'm considering trying to tow my Porsche ~3200lbs with an aluminum trailer ~1800lbs. Its awfully close to the limit

Not that you have a lot of choice with that rear implement, but it looks like you may be over on tongue weight (500 lbs max/10% total ). Putting the implement at the front separately and then driving tractor on might be better.

I have towed my boat with the X also, Its right at 5000 lbs, besides the lack of range it tows it well. I think a lower wind profile would also help, it made the X feel like a small car when connected because it sits high up on the trailer. I don't the the 5000lb tow rating is there for power or braking, I think they don't want the liability of more weight.
@mongo, The weight minder hitch said it was at 475, the mower deck on the back weighs more than you may think. Also most of the weight of the tractor is over the rear axle.

What kind of range could you get 50%

That's on a hot day and the lake has some good hills to and from.

Nice! And with only 605 on the ODO.

I would be curious to see wh/mi numbers with subzero temps, towing uphill, cold start (no preheat), heaters full blast, and phone plugged into charger.

is that a 100d? so only a little more than 100miles to a charge?

Yes it was a demo 100d.

1720 Wh/mile is my highest towing uphill. It was August though so high temperatures and no heat.

Did anyone tow a sunshade?

We towed a 4,000 travel trailer in 32deg weather, flat Texas road and didn’t go above 55mph. We couldn’t even make the 115 mile trip before we had to stop 10 miles before the supercharger at a local Tesla owners house to charge. We were in the 1,100wh/mi range. Highly recommend never doing that again.
