I would like to see the Cybertruck track average kilowatt hour usage (for each trailer towed ) while towing. When towing a heavy trailer long distances, the range estimate is wildly inaccurate for the first half of the trip. If the truck stored the average kilowatt hour usage per mile for each...
Hi there, I’m planning a 144-mile trip without any charging stops available. Will my Cybertruck be able to make it? It’s a 12x6 foot U-Haul trailer that’s almost full with clothes. By the way, the trip planner shows kilometers since I’m currently in Mexico. The trip planner shows 42% left...
Good morning guys. Long shot here, but looking if anyone who has experience towing down the the 395 in CA. I have a CT beast and looking to tow from OC to the "Football Filed off road area just before Ridgecrest" From the charging station in Hesperia Ca, to the Camping area its about...
Recently picked up an Airstream Basecamp 20X and did my first drive back home from the dealer. From what I'm seeing so far, I think I can make it 200 miles on a charge. Wanted to put some range figures out there as I was strongly considering the 16X for the smaller frontal cross section to get...
Just wanted to share a recap of our first summer with the Cybertruck. We went on 4 camping trips ranging from 1-6hrs of travel. The truck crushed everything besides towing range. With our small, non-aerodynamic ~2000lb trailer, the truck lost 1/3-1/2 of its range.
The really cool thing was...
My wife and I drove from the Portland, OR area up to Olympic National Park (Forks, WA.). We rented an Airstream Basecamp 16X on Outdoorsy to see how we liked the trailer and how well it performed. The first bummer...the trailer had a huge dent not noted in the listing. No leaks though. Other...
After 6 months and 9,000 miles I provide my honest opinions on the Cybertruck. I go over its towing performance, lack of FSD, steer by wire and more. I truly appreciate those who support me and my videos ??
Today I made multiple trips with the bed open. I don’t know or care about range for daily driving, there is plenty. I will do my best to keep the bed closed on long hauls. That’s not always possible with gear.
So this past weekend (May 17-19) I rented a 3400 lb travel trailer on Outdoorsy to go camping in Upper Pines at Yosemite. Going into the weekend I didn't plan too much as far as charging goes, since I didn't know exactly what the range would be (aside from a previous trip to Dillon Beach). I...
Has anyone experienced no power coming from the 7-pin connector and/or know a fix? I have a service appointment in two weeks, but would be great to know if it’s an easy fix or something I’m missing.
None of the trailer lights turn on (running lights, turn signals, brake lights), brake assist...
Bowlus invited me to come out to their headquarters to do a tow test with their Volterra travel trailer. I was extremely pleased with the results and thought that I would share them with all of you.
Hope you enjoy the video!
I took my Cybertruck towing 19' Airstream (~4,500 lbs) to see the eclipse. Total towing miles was 3,400 (out of the 5,400 total miles on the truck). Started in Salt Lake City, Utah and went to Houston, TX and back.
Stats:
Miles driven:
3,420
kWh used:

I think with the advent of EV's people need to re-adjust their expectations and form factor for hauling gear, tools and RV and simply get a EV "van" instead for hauling on a trailer.
In essence on first principles, a vehicle is simply a platform which can move from place to place. A magic...
I’m guessing we will need to disconnect our trailers/RV’s at the super chargers while charging. Imagine the parking lot now with five CT’s charging for the next recreational haul OR job site and several RVs and tool trailers also in the parking lot . . . disconnected. Am I missing something?
The current charging stations are set up for car charging. This could be problematic for the cyber truck that is in tow. Has anyone seen a way to charge the cyber truck while it has a load?
I was thinking I could help pay for the Tri motor by making some hot shot runs. I was looking into the licensing and insurance requirements for becoming a hot shot driver. I would probably also need a trailer.
Would there be enough of a benefit if I was only making 1-2 runs a month at no more...
I am extremely interested in finding out additional information on towing trailers, how the electrical connection will look at the rear of cybertruck and the in cab brake switch for trailer.
Any insight out there?
