  3. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Exactly - it is pretty common here in Northern Michigan to see -20C/-4F. Our Tesla can struggle during the winter (with estimates mostly), but it is okay because it is okay in the lower peninsula. We would never venture to the UP during the winter with the car due to the lack of network...
  4. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Outside of my airstream, most of my towing is within 15 miles of the house/charger. I am that user that can deal with a little charge time on a once a week trip during the summer
  5. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    I was not on a full charge. I had driven most of the day and was just grabbing the trailer for a short jaunt. I started with 83 and when I programmed the trailer, it dropped me to the 50's of range which was enough to get done what I needed to do.

  7. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Wow and that looks to be a 27 vs my 23. I won't have time before my next business trip, but I will try and do some testing at various speeds and get back to everyone.
  8. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Just barely. Coming from having them on our ICE F-150, the difference is vast. Maybe I will warm up to them and get used to it, but I am missing them from the other truck right now.

  11. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    I use a weight distro hitch and just hooked it up first try. The airstream has always been pretty easy to level

  14. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Breaking was fine. Regen is definitely in play, but I tend to try and let the trailer take care of most of it when towing. I did not with route planning. I will be doing a 200+ mile tow to a campground on the other side of the state 2 week in June. I will share more on that when completed.
  15. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    Such an interesting thing. I plugged in the trailer, programmed the characteristics, etc. The pedal was NOT disabled when I took off down the road. When I put it in Tow/Haul mode it did, but I thought it was funny part of the system understood there was something on the hitch, but I had to go...
  16. Lightning Towing Stats with my 23FB Airstream Trailer

    I was able to tow the Airstream around 30 miles today and understand how the Lightning does with some weight behind it. The TL;DR is that with a 23-foot Airstream, I am seeing 0.8mi/kWh. Compared to the 1.5-1.8 I have seen on my road trips thus far without the trailer, its around 50% of the...

    Update on the trip stats on the return back to Standish. 1.8mi/kWh So 1.5 up to Mackinac and 1.8 on the way back. Not amazing. I towed the airstream today and will post those stats here shortly.
  18. BlueCruise, Charging Networks, and Trip Stats

    Our dealership has one L2 charger, but it isn't very clear from their perspective. I spoke to them about this at pick-up time, and they had the following issues: Who pays for the electricity? If someone messes it up or damages it, who is responsible? Who is responsible for the security after...
