Default Re: RIVIAN R1T Electric ute revealed. 0-100 in 3 sec. 5T towing

Now, I don't tow, don't plan to tow, but I was looking into the towing capacity of electric vehicles due to a ridiculous article I read stating because a Model X pulled a jumbo 300m there's no limit to what you can tow with an electric vehicle.

Currently the Model X is the only electric capable of towing, and it tows a little less than a Falcon, but I couldn't find any info about the range.

Found a guy in Europe who uses his to tow his caravan and he's written about it.
500km range drops to 200km, although he limits himself to 180 to make sure he doesn't run out of charge. It would be interesting to see if the Rivian (if it comes out, and if it actually matches the released specs) deals with it better.

I'd still love a Rivian (if someone was to give me one) and for a daily driver, great. But I can't see it being particularly useful for things I would like to do. Mind you, would do most everything I already do do, but I feel limited with my current vehicle.
