Norway seems to have a lot of pull through style charging stations watching Bjorn's videos. USA chargers should be designed similarly

Where’s the Rivian rustic ring? Moving on to suv before finishing trucks?

@RoamingNorway 4 күн бұрын

Model X was so popular in Norway in the beginning, due to being one of the first EVs that could really tow at all. Model S didn't allow for it, in the beginning. It still has a really competitive rated towing limit here in Europe!

On our 2016 MX, it prevents you from disabling Trailer Mode if the weight is large enough. Our 2700lb RV is heavy enough to prevent disabling. A half empty 4x8 U-Haul utility trailer is fine to turn off trailer mode.

@mysterious1818 4 күн бұрын

My 2016 MX doesn't prevent me from disabling Trailer Mode with my travel trailer that weighs in around 4000+ lbs. I'm surprised it's different than yours.

Been Jonesing for this one since I saw a few quick clips of the X towing in another intro to one of your videos. We have Plaidington's twin (except for a yoke) so we're a little biased but, typical OOS video with the good, bad and everything in-between. Yes, there's power for days with the Plaid but glad to hear it's relatively compliant with towing its max weight and the whole team created a great video. Thanks Kyle!

I'd love to see how the regen on the cybertruck does at equivalent gross weight. Could be a good indication of whats going on behind the scenes with the regen limits. I anticipate Tesla will improve the vehicle dynamics, including regen, on the cybertruck over the next 2-3 years as more data is collected.

@SyntheticSpy 5 күн бұрын

Considering they have improvements to the charge curve coming soon, I think the regen is potentially limited for the same reason. Hopefully it improves over time like you said

My "Legacy" P100D also comes up with humorous explanations for what is following us, but later versions of the software do a decent job of filtering it out altogether.

@KaceyGreen 5 күн бұрын

that AP thing has been in there for years at least on legacy, I'm not ready to try that since I'm still on warranty and the scare stuff they told us back in the day about towing with an aftermarket hitch without first getting the towing software. I have had two phantom braking events while towing, but my car has rarely had phantom braking less than a dozen incidents ever that I can recall.

Hello Kyle, I'm going to be getting a Model X in the near future. I'm going to be towing from time to time, and here's a question that I've asked Tesla for which they had no answer. To me it seems logical that the tri-motor 1082hp configuration in the Plaid would be more efficient than the dual-motor 600hp. What are your thoughts?

@cbisjr 5 күн бұрын

Which would you keep, Model X Plaid or Rivian R1S 2nd Gen?

@otm646 5 күн бұрын

18:51 A front charge port does not solve this problem either. You're a vehicle with a trailer, you can't just pull in with a trailer sticking out 20 plus feet into the parking lot. That's not a viable long term solution. EV charging stations are designed fundamentally wrong. They should have been built like Islands, like every single gas station in existence. They decided to save money and now it doesn't scale.

It can't be stressed enough to NEVER use Autopilot while towing. Ever. For any reason. Regardless of how 'on it' you think you are.....NEVER. You are risking your load, your life, and the life of others on the road.

So auto high beam is the reason Teslas drive with high beams on in the oncoming lane? It’s extremely annoying.

@blazure101 4 күн бұрын

I get the feeling the factory aims the headlights just a bit too high. I get the occasional high beam flash with standard beams. That and newer cars of all makes use bright LEDs now.
