It cost over $200 to drive 1000 miles but that's cheap when you're taking the whole family. I stopped about 3 times for 30 minutes each to stretch/refuel/eat. It would be terrific to be able to drive 1000 miles and only charge for 1.5 hour. But it would take a power cable the size of a telephone pole to transfer that much energy that quickly.

Fast Lane did a towing test with a Model X and it lost 65% of it's range while towing a 4500lb teardrop. I know the Model X isn't built to tow, but if a real electric truck is anything like that, you're going to spend more time charging than driving.
