It is really interesting to begin to see real-world data. This was a 186-mile trip completed with an average speed of 47 MPH. I asked Grok 4 to analyze the results. The bottom line is that the “towing demand” (energy required in addition to tow vehicle demand) was 487 Wh/mi at 47 MPH to pull the Pebble on that trip. To move over long distances, it would be interesting to see the same analysis at an average speed of 62 MPH, a typical trailer highway speed. This towing demand (487 Wh/mi using the…
