Motortrend found that it wasn’t the weight as much as the frontal area of the trailer that influenced how much range loss was suffered.
With the available 775 ft-lbs of torque available off the line, Motortrend found it was a joy to pull the trailer and keep up with traffic, but of course there’s no practical range.
Gas or Diesel will still be king for long distance towing.

Nothing produces torque like an electric motor. The trick is the supply of electricity. That’s why modern locomotives use electric motors to drive the wheels, but power comes from a massive diesel generator.
