Cybertruck Towing Capacity: Real-World Test Raises Questions
A recent YouTube video showcasing a Canadian Cybertruck owner’s towing test has sparked some debate about the truck’s real-world range. The owner, DaxM, towed a 5,000lb trailer and reported significantly reduced efficiency, achieving roughly 125 miles on a full charge. This result seems considerably lower than expected, prompting questions about the test's accuracy and the Cybertruck's overall towing capabilities.
What are your thoughts on this real-world range test? Is this an outlier, or does it raise legitimate concerns about the Cybertruck’s towing performance? How does this compare to other EVs or traditional trucks when towing similar loads? Could factors like driving style, terrain, or even the specific trailer design have influenced the outcome? I predict that future, more comprehensive tests will paint a clearer picture, but for now, this raises some interesting questions about advertised range versus real-world performance. Let’s discuss.
