I am pleased to announce my first long distance tow trip. I'm towing my 5x8 cargo trailer fully loaded with track motorcycle weighing in at 1980 lbs dry. My route is Ocean City. NJ to Circuit of the America's, Austin TX via Nashville, TN. Route milage is 3500 mi. Departure is June 15th. I feel more confident in EV than air-cooled! Looks like Electrify America's network has my routes decently covered. I'll be posting pics on ig: @Ocsurfer59.

Have you made a run yet with this rig to check the range? I bet most of us would like to have some idea of what the towing range is. I'm guessing at that weight, you'd be lucky to get 100 miles at highway speeds.
