Come on Elon, give them what they really want:
CyberTruckNuts.
Variants: Realistic, 'Terminator', and DogeCoin.
... err, wait.
Do CyberTrucks even have tow hitches?
If not, fuck it, hang em on the rear view mirror.
I’m pretty sure a cybertruck would shatter if it tried to tow something
HeavyDSparks did some towing comparisons with his Cyber versus his diesel trucks. The CT has no problem towing and speed wise absolutely rips even with a huge load. The problem is a common problem all vehicles have with towing... the aerodynamic drag of the load being towed, as well as having to pull uphill, tanks range.
All electrics have bad towing range, but Cybertrucks are the worse. Its aerodynamics funnel air towards the towing load, dropping the range down to 90 miles or so at an 11k lb load. This was during the winter, but was still abysmal.
So far, the new electric Silverado has the best towing range, but even that is 177 miles with the same load.
Jerryrigeverything has been doing towing tests of the electric trucks by hitching up his homemade electric Hummer.
It certainly will if you shoot it with anything more powerful than 9x19mm...
