And if you do decide to order, make sure you use a referral code. Anyone with a Tesla has one. No cost to you. They get free Supercharging (1500 km in Canada, I think it is 1000 miles for you in the US). You as purchaser get the same. You can't apply a referral code after ordering, it is when you first put your order in.

Wondering if you changed rigs?

Thanks.

I won't take delivery of the Rivian until next year, so no, I still have our 22 Sport. And for all I know, we'll keep it. I did upgrade our X in October of last year to a Long Range+ model, which has helped a lot with towing range.

I don’t get the design of this it appears extremely inefficient. However they have the wind tunnel so it may be better than it looks.

You're right...

"Boats and Engines achieved a drag co-efficient of 0.39 at 60 mph for the Cybertruck, compared to 0.59 for the F150 and 0.56 for the Ram 1500."

Thanks again for your original thread about towing with the Model X, which led to us test driving one a few years ago. Have you seen this recent thread?

I am wondering if could quantify how your Long Range+ model has improved the mileage and towing range.

Thanks,
