We know EV’s are ridiculously inefficient at highway speeds. Now, the best truck ever built (naturally the Lightning) towing that 7500# at 120 on a sunny summer day with the A/C cranked and the box full, what can I expect?
210 km of towing range at 100 km/h. I do the speed limit when driving a 20000 lb RV rig or 45 feet of truck and trailer. You do you.
At 2 hours of towing range without charging, that's 5 days to cover 1000 km without needing to stop and pay to charge.
Retired life allows me to smell the roses along the way, to each their own.
Calgary to Canmore?
100 km. Yeah. Even my 11 year old Tesla can make that on 30% of a battery ... but then again, you could just see that it doesn't matter how far you're driving, there is a supercharger on the route :

All that power, but to use it to keep up with a gas truck is just going to land you at the very expensive charging station even sooner. That guy in the ICE truck is already at his campsite, set up, and enjoying a beverage by the fire without a single worry about changing anything but his flashlight. I have to pay how much for this EV bliss on holiday adventures?
Wishing those gas truck owners getting 6 mpg towing an 8000 lb trailer at 130 km/h happy motoring. $36/100 km.
The Lariat trim gas F150 with the same options (but SLOWER, LOUDER) vs Lightning are within a few thousand $ right now in Ontario.
WHEREAS, Tesla supercharging is $0.50/kWh.
100 km towing range is 75 kWh or $31 in electricity. Cheaper than gas.
