Range will suffer greatly and non-Teslas have terrible charging infrastructure. Even Tesla owners have horror stories of trying to tow a trailer and not being able to make it no the next charger.[1]
MotorTrend tried towing a car with a Rivian R1T. It reduced the maximum range from 314 miles down to 175 miles.[2]
Both range and charging infrastructure will improve over time, but it's not quite there today.

- grawp 5y ago175 miles seem to be a huge distance for me and I can't imagine not passing by at least one big city with standardized charging infrastructure.
