3,400 miles towing a camping trailer w/ Cybertruck -- 19' Airstream (~4,500 lbs) to see solar eclipse

[CyberTruckeeTheOne]

One of those things when I rarely say - just because you can doesn’t mean you should! I was doing very similar long road trips with very few stops, but when you take a break every two hours, the journey becomes so much fun and enjoyable. Now I force myself to stop every couple of hours to stretch, even though I’m fully capable of driving 5 or more hours at a stretch. Vacation is not a race. It took me several years to realize that. If I want to go fast and furious, I do dedicated track days on safe roads!

Spot on!

Used to drive where I never see a car in front of me that I never want to overtake.

And once, I overtook a Lambo on I-15 with my daughter's Yaris (best power-to-body-weight ratio car I've driven then).

Most dangerous when I have to force to come home anyways doing a round trip SoCal and NorCal despite whole day meetings and tiring drive back.

My muscles were involuntary shaking all over that when I reached home, I fell on the pathway when my foot had not tripped on anything.

Never again!

One issue here - when the Cybertruck is plugged in and charging, the outlets in the bed won't turn on.

I thought this was resolved. Definitely was supposed to be resolved. My memory is Kyle (OOSpec) complained on Xitter about it. I think it the Tesla person who responded was one that just 'retired' tho (and sold his stock for 181 million!)

Did you took note of energy usage on uphill climb, grade and temperature along Colorado mountains?

Appreciate if you can post it as a subset of your trip.

Nice write up.

You can get to that section by doing a browser FIND on
, Colorado <comma blank Colorado>
which would find the entries ... then you can cut-n-paste info if that suites you.

I skipped ahead and read all the pages and comments...too bad it turned into a internet argument just like every other thread in every other forum. Who could have seen that coming...

I took my 17' Casita Freedom Deluxe for a test run on Monday to see how far I can get on a full charge. It si about 3000-3200 lbs loaded. It looks to be ABOUT 180 miles, but I am confident I can get 150 at 60 mph. Speed kills the range so faster speeds in western state with higher speed limits will be less range. But thats the way it is.
And I have a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and I can get up to 18mpg, towing. I know...hard to believe. But I have done it many times. But 15-16mpg is more likely.
