Yes they are, the RV dealer I go to is the top towing specialist in North America. People come from everywhere to get properly hitched. https://www.canamrv.ca/blog/post/tesla-and-airstream-trailer/But is it doing it safely? You can tow as much weight as you want with a truck, Ford even pulled over 1,000,000lbs worth of weight on train tracks which is less resistance.
However I would not want to drive near that car towing that trailer because I don't think it's going to be able to accelerate very fast or how far long it will take to brake to a complete stop. If Cybertruck says it can tow 14000 pounds that I better be able to safely accelerate on an on-ramp to the highway and be able to brake to a stop within a reasonable distance if I need to for safety.
I remember one time I was driving a friends Honda CRV because we had 6 people, so he sat in the back with his girlfriend on his lap. 5 full grown men and 1 woman was a little too much for that Honda because when we went up a somewhat steep hill, we were probably going at about 5km/h with the pedal completely down.
I live in Washington and while yes it's true that you don't want to go over 55 mph when on a pass or going down a steep hill when you're on the regular interstate the police expect you not to slow down traffic.In California, Oregon, Washington, you're expected not to exceed 55mph with any trailer.
And isn't the biggest problem with towing the leverage? That a light vehicle can be thrown around by the mass and drag of the trailer? But EVs are heavy and low center of gravity compared to the same ICE car.

Yes: The law is you have to pull over if traffic stacks behind you. There are posted pull-outs for this purpose, but any paved shoulder will do. The maximum speed for towing is 55.I live in Washington and while yes it's true that you don't want to go over 55 mph when on a pass or going down a steep hill when you're on the regular interstate the police expect you not to slow down traffic.
