Default Tesla Model 3 and a glider

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.


I understand the practical implication of long-distance trailering is that typical charging spots are pull-in, not pull-through. This likely means that you need to disconnect the trailer to charge.

I went back and forth from Alberta to Ontario through the US to retrieve a glider in November. This was the first trip in the last 5 years I couldn't have done with a Tesla. Because of 1) pull-in charging, 2) Montanna.

Watching for a trailer kit on a Model Y for my next vehicle. Buy $TSLA!
