I took my Cybertruck towing 19' Airstream (~4,500 lbs) to see the eclipse. Total towing miles was 3,400 (out of the 5,400 total miles on the truck). Started in Salt Lake City, Utah and went to Houston, TX and back.

I’m guessing we will need to disconnect our trailers/RV’s at the super chargers while charging. Imagine the parking lot now with five CT’s charging for the next recreational haul OR job site and several RVs and tool trailers also in the parking lot . . . disconnected. Am I missing something?
The current charging stations are set up for car charging. This could be problematic for the cyber truck that is in tow. Has anyone seen a way to charge the cyber truck while it has a load?
I was thinking I could help pay for the Tri motor by making some hot shot runs. I was looking into the licensing and insurance requirements for becoming a hot shot driver. I would probably also need a trailer.
Would there be enough of a benefit if I was only making 1-2 runs a month at no more...
I am extremely interested in finding out additional information on towing trailers, how the electrical connection will look at the rear of cybertruck and the in cab brake switch for trailer.
Any insight out there?
