My actual wh/mile towing at max (10k loaded tandem trailer with ~600-700lbs in bed)

[OMFG]

Info (pic) on trip towing 10k loaded tandem trailer w/around 600-700lbs in bed of packouts and 200lb passenger. Have done it twice and same results. 1st trip around 200miles on odometer, second around 2k miles. 145-150 mile range before I hit 13-15% remaining capacity. Better than I was anticipating. Temp, distance, etc in pic when I was at 49% remaining at time of snapshot. Trailer load and bed load also attached. Missing is the 2 yetis full of beer in back seat floorboard. Wanted to share fwiw. Not a ev person, don’t care about efficiency, just that it can handle needs and get from point a to b for me.

That's awesome! I'd take that all day. Can't wait for the range extender!

It really seems like aerodynamics and speed play a bigger role than weight.

I agree....we tow a 6k pound wakeboat. On our first trip to the lake which is about 45 miles we only used 27%. We had the boat covered which means the air flows relatively smoothly across the top. Next time we tow I'm going to leave the cover off and see what kind of difference it makes.

What did it feel like towing that amount of weight versus towing it with your previous rig?

Thanks for posting - it is always interesting to see how various use cases effect range. I am assuming AWD and not Beast!?!

Also noted great taste in music....

Nice! Love to see Cybertrucks putting in the work!

Love Milwaukee tools/gear. Thanks for posting.

Good test to compare re boat cover/tower up or down. That tractor likely least aerodynamic thing besides traditional rv or box trailer lol. I just really monitored twice, once at 65-70ish ambient and again at 90-95 ambient, on same route but 2k miles between on odometer. I was happy to see consistency more than say few extra miles here/there…easier to plan staged stops better. Both times I charged to 100%, went through about 10 stop lights to get to interstate, about 10min of traffic south of Houston, then around ship channel (big bridges) and straight up interstate 45 (flat side of Tx). 2hrs into trip, stop at SC to recharge to 80% in 30-35min while getting snacks, then the final 1hr of drive to destination. My 6.2l raptor would cost me $100 per haul. With home & SC I paid about $40 (.10¢ & .35¢ respectively).

I was looking for actual wh/mile but got distracted at "boobies".....

Trying to cook me up a l-track cross rail slide out that still keeps big ones on bed but small ones & pack out crates (not in pics) mounted midway up in back 1/2 of bed. Next is a damn tailgate step lol…but a 4ftw x 2ftd slide with pack out plates mounted will help get small stuff within reach. LOVE the fact I can keep it all locked up while running into the depot or tractor supply.

Haha. It was whatever was on in background

Honestly, having had a 2500HD then a F250, then finally my SVT Raptor…towing with the Cybertruck is AMAZING. You know the load is there…but the torque with no tranny is awesome, but more impressed with the air ride to be honest. I am intrigued by the dynamic trailer brake gain function. I ended up actually turning off and lowering the gain while on open interstate so that the regen would come into effect more lol. Yeah, likely not wisest, but if it squeezed a bit more juice back into those batteries by damn it I was going to lol

Correct, AWD. I was upset settling for AWD to get sooner, but glad I did now b/c you can only do 0-60 so many times before you nearly shit yourself or have self induced hangover rest of day lol. They had to replace my bed cover switch and gave me a plaid s as loaner for day. Must of done cheetah launch 15 times before I was like ok, beer not even going to fix this headache I gave myself. 0-60 in 1.9sec is nutso. Can’t imagine 7klbs doing it on 35’s in 2.6 lol. Fun as hell, but long term practically…hell, no other truck can beat the 4.1s awd except maybe the fully optioned rivian that is about the size of a Honda ridge line with few more curves. maybe Gen 2 Cybertruck I will get beast

This was hog hunting the same trip with my bmg. if you notice the pack out pic, the case on left long way in lol. 50lb monster. Hunting, then having to use tractor to pull my dumbass out…

Edit… forgot to mention…hunting in it is GameChanger. Dead quiet patrolling around looking for those hogs with just green lights (will be my light bar option once some makes a 48v version lol) as those hogs destroy everything.

Beer, heavy machinery, and a truck bed full of power tools and hunting rifles. I love it!
