They say they are going to do another video with a more realistic tow with a more realistic payload vs a ICE truck.

True the first 90 miles of their trip there is relatively normal elevation changes, but after that they get pretty extreme:
Per this they go from 5000 to 12000ft. I thought I-49 was tough with an elevation change from 200 to 1800ft and a 15% grade. Ha
It will be interesting to see a test around 70F

So if you look you can see the get up to a 50% grade.
