From different experiments I’ve seen on X/Twitter and YouTube, it’s pretty clear that the Cybertruck has decent range and charging speeds. It’s also going to get even better when more 800-volt stations open to it. But one thing I hadn’t come across yet were Cybertruck towing tests. Like most EVs, there’s plenty of torque, but how much range can you get using that excellent torque?
The trailer has a curb weight of about 6400 pounds. All loaded up with gear, though, it’s more like 7300 pounds. When he got it weighed, it came in at 6557 pounds. With two axles, it’s probably got a GVWR of 7500+, so that’s a safe load. One thing that’s really cool about this camper is that it has a large door on the back that opens, kind of like a miniature toy hauler. This makes it easy to load in that 1,000 pounds of cargo with things like bikes, motorcycles, and more.
After 52 miles of towing, the total energy used was 46 kWh, with average consumption at 893 Wh/mile. Extrapolated out to 123 kWh, that means the truck would have a range of about 137 miles towing this much weight on such terrain. There was plenty of range to go back, but he stopped at a Supercharger to get back up to 80% so it wouldn’t be a nail-biter.
For this one, they took the truck on the “Rustic Ring” test loop through flat lands and mountains, including some slippery dirt. The test ballast? A Rivian R1T! As you can see close to the beginning, the Cybertruck did struggle a bit on the steep inclines, but managed to claw its way up. He did notice that you need to be gentle with the steering, because it’s pretty tight for a tow vehicle. Tesla may need to adjust this in an update .
On the slippery section, it did great, though. It did slip, but gripped and pulled on up despite carrying more of a load than most people would. One thing Kyle noticed was that the Cybertruck seems to want to put more power to the front wheels until it slips, and then it goes ahead and gives more power to the rear.
