Last night I watched the Top Gear EV / towing episode which I thought was quite amusing. I was impressed when Flintoff and Evans scoffed those chillies (if indeed they were real)!
They tested three EVs towing "micro" caravans - an Audi e-Tron, Polestar 2 and Mercedes SUV (I forget the model). Surprised there was no Tesla - I think a M3LR would have outperformed all of them for range - but I know there is some history here (previous incarnation of TG seems to have falsified an "out of range" event, but Elon stated the car's log indicated the battery never got below 20%). So it's understandable if Tesla refused to supply a car.
What did you make of it? The towing range in particular, and do you think the M3LR would really have fared better under these circumstances?
