I'm hoping that someday Tesla will offer a "Heavy Duty" version of the Cybertruck that is set up to handle 5th wheel towing. Dually wheels would add a lot of wind drag but you could spread the load out over two axles with a 6x6 arrangement like the Hennessey Velociraptor (shown below). A tri-motor setup (one motor per axle) would be perfect, and with an 8 foot long bed you could fit a few more feet of battery pack to add more range for towing.

The best part is no part. I've heard that somewhere. A single tire is plenty capable of supporting the weight of up to the 10,000lbs allowed by DOT regulations. Aside from the agreed upon cool effect, dual axles are useless.

You widen out the hips because it stabilizes the load behind you from pulling you side to side. This is just an ego extension. You would be better served just buying the semi. It would also end up being a lot less expensive.
