He will never acknowledge this. He never does… what you will inevitably see is some ridiculous strawman deflection about regularly pulling large loads cross country.

Interestingly enough, I’m pulling a 3500 pound kart trailer from Cincinnati to Indy and back. It is about 260 miles round trip and is an easy 0 stop drive with the Escalade at 75mph on cruise control. To imagine that you would likely need not just one, but two stops to charge in the Tesla to make the same trip (unless you decide to drive at 55mph to make range) is absolutely laughable.

Edit: 272 miles round trip.
