Anything that you tow that exceeds the front profile of the Cybertruck will result in significant range loss on a EV. Ideally, you'd want a RV that folds or slides into itself to reduce the extra air resistance it would create. RV's are notorious for being large transporters of useless air from one place to another, so you're better off compressing the RV geometry and leaving the air at home. ;)

Couple big ifs:

If:
CT can be configured with a 5th wheel mount centered on the top

If:
CT can perform diamond turn

Then:
Yes, a configuration like this would be cool to develop and see out on the road. I can imagine people being awed by the CT doing a diamond turn to then back the trailer into a tight position. Followed by another diamond turn to pull out of the spot.

But:
Yes, wind resistance would be something of an issue. not necessarily the end of the world. Towing a large trailer should not be done at excessive speeds anyway. I could see a space ship themed trailer getting hooked up like this and driving across the country. It would certainly get lots of attention. What kind of marketing budget would one need to make this attractive?

Someday, the Oscar Meyer Weiner car will probably get electrified. I wonder what the Cd of that thing will be.
