Haha. I stole this picture. Not shopping. Just made me laugh out that Tesla can tow same as new F150. Even better is the photoshopped G series. Haha.

Yeah.... There's a LOT of vehicles out there that claim a 5k tow rating. A Jeep Cherokee from the 90's, our 2009 Honda ridgeline, a 2002 Jeep Liberty... Sorry, even with Ford's disclaimer on bumper tow, there's no way in hell that any of those tow "the same" as our F150 supercrew... Just goes to show that many are very ambitious with their ratings and some are more conservative. I'd put our F150 against any of the above without hesitation.
"Being electric I am sure teslas have tons of pulling power. I just wonder how long that battery lasts under that much of a load" The problem is the lag on an electric motor created by the drag when accelerating produces a large amount of heat. I'm not sure if the Tesla has liquid cooling on those motors so heat dispersion would could be a problem.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Just know that most of the most powerful stuff out there is electric. Trains (diesel engines to supply electricity for electric motors). Ships with azipods (diesel electric). My cement unit at work, 1250 hp electric motors.
