:) I pulled up in Galveston to launch by boat - and there it was - a Tesla pulling the same boat I have --- it was just funny!

It’s increasingly becoming an EV world in spite of media EV doomsaying even if that Tesla looks as bad as a kid’s cardboard box craft project.

And how did the bizarro world version of you explain his choice to go with a CT over a normal truck?

That’s exactly what the CT reminds me of.

I have a similar boat and an R1S on order to replace my F-150. How much does your range change when towing that boat?

The RANGE pulling my 21 foot deep well boat with a Merc 150 - gets reduced by about 40% - and I'm a fast driver if that matters. ---- just call it 1/2 ----- I have the R1T extended - so I can pull my boat on a full charge around 200 miles ---- instead of 400 miles. --- But - it pulls like dream - much much more stable than my F150 was.

Dude, I passed you on 45S while you were on your way down! I gave you a little honk. Silver R1T, I was late for a meeting so I was NOT going the speed limit.

I have a small scout with added ttop. Range is cut in half like with most towing/drag issues.
