Feels like the Tesla is the weird part of this. I suppose that having an electric vehicle was important for philosophical reasons, or he just thought they were cool, but they aren't the most practical choice. Today, there would be a few more options for a vehicle you'd want to live out of even with the restriction that it had to be all-electric. The E-Transit, or even the F-150 Lightning come to mind, but I bet there are even better ones.
- flashback2199 3y agoF-150 Lightning is 3 fold worse pulling a trailer, which is still really bad (edited)
- karaterobot 3y agoSeems like it's almost twice as good, given the weight estimates I see in this thread (~115 vs. ~60 miles) https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-towing-test/ https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-elect... But I was really talking about the car camping phase of his experiment—the part where he's living out of his car, not the towing part. I didn't make that clear enough in my comment.

- flashback2199 3y agoI wouldn't want to sit and charge every 115 miles any more than 60, both are not good.
- paxys 3y agoAgreed. It's weird to live this way with a Tesla and a storage trailer and then having to charge every 60 miles and shower at gyms. There are plenty of vehicles that are specifically built (or can be modified) for this lifestyle.
- bomewish 3y agoThis whole part of it made it seem like a parody to me. It just seemed increasingly farcical -- the desk in the forest? attempting to build a desk setup right on the tow bar? I'm still chuckling. I know it's not a joke but it edges so close to parody I can't help laughing.
