Online videos of a very niche but useless gee-wiz circumstance don’t compel me. Or any real trailer-towing truck owner I’ve ever met. It’s not just about starting from a stop. I’m sure Elon will figure all that out eventually, but the Cyber truck ain’t gonna be seen on any ranches anytime soon.
The X towing capacity is 5,000 lbs. the cybertruck, with the 3 motor, high end package ($95K will every option) will tow 14,000 lbs. Charging times, battery capacity, energy density, battery life, are all improving at high rates. Current tesla batteries should last for 2,000,000 miles:
