I think you're probably right if not optimistic in that guess.Awesome for you. Let us know the efficiency you get. My guess is 40% range reduction - if lucky.
So if a regular is a 50% range reduction , this is supposedly saving 2/3 better than that. Something like that....I don't do math.
Maybe 1.4 to 1.6 kWh per mile vs 1.2 kWh per mile.
Surprise us!
My experience with the Model X..
Normally I saw 2.4-2.6mi/Wh on that car. When I towed my enclosed 6x10 V-Nose (96") I got between 1.1-1.4mi/Wh. When I towed a U-Haul 6x12 (~79") I got about 1.8-2.0Wh/mi. Unfortunately this is off of memory, highly unscientific, and the U-Haul was around town. But IF - big IF, that scenario holds, the U-Haul was anywhere from 30-80% more efficient than the V-Nose.
That said...if I got 1.8Wh/mi around town with a much smaller U-Haul, a lighter less powerful Model X. I've got virtually no hope of being even at 1.8Wh/mi with this thing.
If for some reason this thing ends up pulling a 25' trailer above 2.0Wh/mi...I'm going to buy a couple more of these things because that means these things are about to be very popular amongst EV owners. That would be about 250 miles of range while towing a camper..
