I used Willie's 85 s to tow a trailer full of car parts and golf cart parts
that might have come close to the weight of a small car. Picked them up
about 105 miles away and made it back going 55 mph on one charge , Very
nice ride ,scroll down to see pic at ,

http://www.greenshedconversions.com/Pages/SUMMEROF2013.aspx   That said
even a 144v old school conversion can tow pretty good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3XkEWdfL0g
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3XkEWdfL0g
I towed my lawn trailer for years
with a 120v curtis controller and a ADC 9 at one time

What would we be if all cars in the US where green? we'd be a
greencarnation,flower power :-)

It just boggles my mind how these comments can be made while Knowing nothing 
about the engineering that has gone into these cars to make them able to tow. 
What gives any indication that they can't tow as well as any other car or for 
that matter that they will over heat? They don't have adequate cooling? I 
suggest that people that make accusations back them up with facts. Geese.

It is likely the Tesla cars can pull it just fine, but will probably overheat 
towing,  especially on hills.  Towing packages for trucks have all manner of 
extra cooling gear, for transmission, oil coolers, oversize radiators, and 
so on.  It is a simple application that is difficult in practice.

 
  In any case, don’t get your hopes up too high on a truly versatile 
  towing capacity because electric power isn’t similar to a 
  traditional engine’s twist.

Ben,

Well we shall see.  We already know they are speed limited due to thermal
issues.  You can't run full speed forever.  I am sure you can start to pull
a big load, but these are passenger cars.  Not towing machines.  They have
to beef everything up to do serious towing service.  That aluminum frame is
suspect to me for heavy towing.  There is a reason why cars and trucks have
steel towing gear.

You can likely tow a john boat, or other small, light things.  You can have
a cooler rack, or a bike rack.

You can get a trailer hitch on a Miyata.  It is even worth having, but you
don't do much with it.  I doubt the intent will be to pull a camper up in
the mountains.  There will have to be limitations.  And they may come as a
slow down or shut down to protect things.

I like to think Tesla is not stupid enough to let people ruin a nice luxury
sedan by towing anything big.

Willie,

What if you put pedal to the metal for a while - like 10 minutes?  I heard
they are governed at some point - because of heat.  Towing up a mountain
would simply cause the same effect at lower speeds.

I am not sure why this idea - that there is a limit to how much a Tesla can
tow -  is annoying to anyone.  It is not a truck. It would be silly for
them to build truck duty into a car.  Put a hitch on there so you can take
your bikes, or pull a little trailer with limited payload (like 800 lb).
That is great.  A scoop of damp compost?  Take it easy with that.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Tesla-X Spied w/ a Tow Hitch AWD r:225mi (v)

2015-04-14 Thread Cor van de Water via EV
Agreed. I do expect that my 2002 Prius can do 70 MPH up the mountain by itself,
I do not expect that when I tie my 4400 lbs electric truck behind that Prius,
that I can go far and fast, like the Airstream trailer that was overtaking me
at 70+ MPH yesterday.
But I do expect that I can pull it 2 miles on 35 MPH surface streets to get it 
home
after its controller failed, like 2 years ago.

I bet that Tesla will give clear outline of what you can expect with towing,
such as towing a bike rack or a mobility scooter and a certain size trailer.
I also expect that they will allow towing to a certain weight and that the
car will self-limit if you are overloading it towing up a mountain in hot 
weather,
so you will simply see it gradually lose speed (reduce power) to self-protect.

BTW, the fact that an X was spied with a tow hitch does not necessarily mean 
that
the car will eventually have a hitch also, as it could have been used for devt
purposes or field tests, but it underscores the option to install a hitch,
something that has been done after-market on many vehicles that were not 
originally
designed with this option.

2016 Tesla Model X Spied in California, It’s Got a Tow Hitch - Video

2016 Tesla Model X Spied in California, It’s Got a Tow Hitch


video  flash
]

After Elon Musk announced that 10,030 EVs have been delivered in the first
three months of the current year, Tesla Motors is preparing for the next big
thing - the Model X. The latest sighting of the all-electric jacked-up Model
S comes from I-280 near Palo Alto.

Incidentally, Palo Alto is where Tesla Motors is based, while the Fremont
plant is located some 25 miles from the HQ, so go figure what was the Model
X prototype doing on California’s I-280. If you look closely, you’ll see
that this prototype boasts with a tow hitch.

In any case, don’t get your hopes up too high on a truly versatile towing
capacity because electric power isn’t similar to a traditional engine’s
twist. Nevertheless, the production-ready Model X crossover SUV is going to
get the same underpinnings as the D-ified Model S. In numbers, that
translates to up to 691 all-electric ponies and 685 lb-ft (931 Nm).

All-wheel drive via two electric motors and more than 225 miles (362 km) of
range at 100 percent charge are also on the menu. As you can see in the
latest Model X sighting, much of the vehicle is camouflaged. Black rare
windows, misaligned Falcon Wing Doors and masked bits and bobs are the
elements engineers employed in order to keep us EV-heads as curious as ever
before.
