Does anybody have a Gravity with a trailer hitch?

[Dr K]

Waiting to order my Gravity until someone posts towing results. I'm going to need to tow a 3500 lb. trailer/car (open trailer, relatively low wind resistance) at least 150 miles without recharging, and I can't believe that after 6 months I haven't seen anyone post towing mileage yet. Anybody try towing? Thanks in advance.

There are not that many Gravities in the wild yet, so it'll probably be a bit before anyone has hard data for you. But, there's enough data about towing with EVs generally, and so this question can be reasonably confidently answered. Assuming by your description you're talking about cargo that's not standing above the height of the Gravity's roof line, and considering the reasonable trailer weight, it'd be surprising if your range decreased to less than 45% of the rated range. Even with the worst case range rating of 370 miles (Dream edition, largest wheels), that's 166.5 miles of range. So within your requirements.

The Gravity owner’s manual says that towing is not yet supported and warns you not to do it. Towing will be added in a software update.

Since there seem to be less than, say 20 in the wild, not surprised if they didn’t focus on this yet. But can’t tell if you’re joking…

Gee, I seem to recall them towing A PLANE with an early Gravity…

Gee, I seem to recall them towing A PLANE with an early Gravity…

Model X pulled a Qantas 787 Dreamliner...

F-150 Lightning pulled a 1,000,000 lb train...

But the Gravity looked really good pulling that jet
