That's a good suggestion! I have an instagram set up for our rig (https://www.instagram.com/electricairstream) but a message board would be a great way to share the less glamorous details. ;-)

I explained my issue about the trailer brake controller to my brother-in-law early today, and he apparently knew exactly what to do! This afternoon I was able to pick up the brake controller you recommended and get a pigtail connecter from my local Tesla. Then my brother-in-law got it all...

Okay! I have ordered this brake controller and it should be here on Thursday night (just in time for our previously scheduled weekend trip with the new set up)! Woo! I would really appreciate it if you could walk me through what to do. Thank you for being so helpful to this towing newbie.

This is very helpful, thank you. I'm astonished that a towing package wouldn't automatically do this. The truck we were borrowing had a built in tow package that offered brake assistance, so it didn't even cross my mind that Tesla wouldn't have this as part of their set up.

Oh, wow. Thanks, for the link, @ecarfan, and for the follow up, @ohmman. This is so interesting.

After hooking up the trailer, we just had to fine tune the...

This is very helpful. Thank you. I guess I had just assumed that it was set up to tow an Airstream since when the car debuted it drove out on stage pulling an Airstream, and is rated to tow significantly more than the weight and tongue weight of our tiny Bambi 16'. oof. Anyone else remember...

it is a standard hitch that we grabbed at a local shop. Nothing fancy. I was wondering if it was the pin. Interesting. Is there a particular hitch set up that we should get for this combination. I'm concerned about the rise issue, now that I see some conversations happening about that.

Hi, all! We just took delivery of our '23 Model X and are so excited to begin towing our 16' Bambi Airstream. I just came back inside from our first test drive with the trailer hooked up to the X, and experienced significant clunking and some mild lurching. It made me very nervous and we only...
