The Fast Lane Car tested what it's to tow 4,460 pounds in a Tesla Model X long range. Even though the Model X has a lower towing capacity compared to the R1S (4,960 vs. 7716 pounds), it gives an interesting look at what could happen when towing with an EV.
For their test they used about 3 times more battery power with the trailer than without it and nearly killed the battery in the process. Without the trailer they averaged 115.4 MPGe, and with the trailer they averaged only 42.28 MPGe.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the R1S and R1T doing tests like this to see how they stack up.
