I was not sure what to expect as far range goes. I was surprised how much an increase from 55 to 60 mph had on range. There are some lakes in Central Florida with no SC along the way that we go to every year that we may still have to use our Navigator L.Very nice video, thanks!!! Given the range impact, do you see it affecting your ability to take your boat to the places you normally would take it? In other words, do you feel the X will limit you as to where you can take your boat?
Thanks,
Jeff

Great video. That was a huge jump from 55 to 60 mph. Something like ~200 wh (576 Wh/mi vs 893 Wh/mi)!! Would be pretty curious to see how your JetSki affects things.I was not sure what to expect as far range goes. I was surprised how much an increase from 55 to 60 mph had on range.

This sort of dashes any hope of road tripping across the country with a camper trailer.
Maybe - two factors that contribute to the energy consumption we saw here, that will be more friendly to you traveling across country with a camper trailer. The first is this boat Max is towing is at the weight limit of 5000 pounds. Of course, if your camper trailer is also ~5k pounds, then you'll have the same energy consumption due to the weight being towed.
The second issue here that I expect the camper is better at is the aerodynamics of what's being towed. I don't actually know - maybe Max or somebody else who actually knows can speak up - but my assumption / guess here is that the typical camper trailer is a better aerodynamic body to be towing than that boat (nice boat btw Max!).
Whether better aerodynamics and hopefully a lighter load being towed, combined, is enough of an energy consumption improvement to be able to take your trailer and go camping across the country is a different question. I would like to see more data points from different load levels, different aerodynamics, and also different terrain. I wonder what energy consumption Max might see going up and down some hills And no - Interstate overpasses aren't hills!
Love the MX, and found the OP's demo video fascinating. But I can't help but fixate on the apparent WH/M consumption for towing a 4800lb boat, a load within permissible limits, in fairly idyllic conditions in Florida. Range-wise it seems it turns the MX into a Nissan Leaf. How practical can this actually be for towing if the range hit is that great, requiring charging stops every 85-100 miles or so?
