Is there anyone using a Tesla Model 3 to tow his/her glider regularly?

Curious about the impact on range and usability to go on (European) gliding holiday.


screw the Tesla, the Fisker Ocean is on the scene now. Features karaoke
on the HUD, and California mode for the windows. 300 mile range, 0-60
in 2.9 seconds.

Even better, solar cells on the roof are said to provide 1000 free
miles. They're a little vague, is that per day, per week, or during the
lifetime of the car?? I'd bet on the third option. If you run out of
juice on your way to Ely, you're not stuck, just slows you down a bit.

It would be kinda nice to arrive DURING the soaring season.
