First tow with the Lightning -- race car, wheels & tires from the track

[skyak]

Used the lightning to transport race car and a bunch of wheels and tires from the track. Towed like a champ. Zero issues. Note that I do have a slight front level installed.

Did you notice any slight momentum waves, hard to describe, but on our dump trailer it felt at times it was a very very slight slinky effect is the best way to describe it, like motors would creat 'momentum-wave effect' and I couldn't pin it down. I would let off throttle and it would stop, it was so subtle.

I did not notice that. I assume you were in tow mode?

I towed a Tacoma on a uhaul open car carrier trailer almost a month ago. Great towing experience. 105ish miles down used 49 percent of the battery (1.6 miles per kWh). Driving speed was less than 60mph. The drive back home with an empty trailer used 34 percent (2.1 to 2.2 miles per kWh). My drive was in normal 1pd on (there is no shifting/gearing change that an ICE truck gains from tow haul mode). Uhaul trailer uses surge brakes. This truck is great! Your setup looks great.
