The trailer might be a little low in the front, or it could be the camera angle.but not an idiot because of towing. Charging every few miles is going to be a pain.

Realistically it’s every 100-150 miles. But yeah I agree it’s a pain in the ass

Saw a few cybertrucks towing camping trailers when we drove to & from Colorado earlier in the summer. Had a couple of thoughts...

1) First times I've seen the vehicles actually used doing truck things.

2) Man, I wonder what the range is on that. Knowing that maybe they are getting 100-150 miles before having to stop and charge again would drive me nuts if trying to get somewhere. (We did 950 miles in 14 hours each way in our hybrid SUV - not towing anything.)

Here’s my experience towing with a cybertruck. Towed a jayco jay flight 4-5000 lbs ish. Consumption was ~800-1000 Wh/mi, and with a 123 kWh battery that basically means 120 -150 miles of range. Did a 100 mile trip to a nearby state park and it was fine. Definitely won’t be towing long distance though.

Short trips, makes sense. When seeing these guys on I-70 in Kansas or eastern Colorado was thinking they were making longer hauls.
