In many ways, Tesla is ahead when it comes to building EVs. The company dominates the U.S. EV market, offers an incredible charging network, has best-in-class software, extremely good battery management tech and a new 800-volt architecture for the Cybertruck. But none of its tech prowess can help with long-range towing. As Engineering Explained's Jason Fenske lays out in his newest video, long-haul towing is about one thing above all else: Battery size.
Fenske lays out how a sleeker car or truck actually produces more drag against a trailer, negating any benefit. You could design a truck for maximum range with a trailer, but it'd suffer without one. So in terms of towing, the Cybertruck's trapezoidal design and power tonneau cover don't pay off. Fenske calculates that its range should fall right in line with the Rivian and the Ford, another area where the Cybertruck is roughly in line with its competitors.
