When I go RVing I usually pull a car behind me so I can set out in my new "local area". So I have a few questions about the Model S related to RVing.
1. Can I tow it flat, as in all 4 wheels on the road? Many car transmissions can't take this type of abuse.
2. Will it have a Tow mode?
3. Can I use the cars brakes to help slow the combined load? With my Jetta I can install a brake assist that activates the brakes to work with the RV's brakes to aid in slowing. This is quite handy in a panic stop situation.
4. Is it possible to charge he Model S from the RV generator while the Model S is in tow?
1) The model S has NO transmission, so I don't see any impediment to towing it with all 4 tires on the road.
2) Probably just a button marked "neutral" although I dunno how that'd work. I wonder if the regerative braking would kick in and charge the battery while your RV is towing. Might slow you down a little, but it's slowing the car, and charging the battery all at the same time.
3) See above.
4) Depends on how much power that generator can put out. If it's just putting out 115 v at 10 to 15 amps, then it'll charge..... in 40 hours or so.
