Cybertruck range estimate while towing

[wlanford]

I would like to see the Cybertruck track average kilowatt hour usage (for each trailer towed ) while towing. When towing a heavy trailer long distances, the range estimate is wildly inaccurate for the first half of the trip. If the truck stored the average kilowatt hour usage per mile for each trailer towed, this number good then be used to show more accurate remaining range from the beginning of each trip. It should be very simple for Tesla to implement.

I'd comment on this guy's video and ask. He's all over the country with his family, towing a travel trailer with the CT. He will be able to give you the good, bad, and most likely stats.

I towed 5,500lbs recently 600 miles. I had to stop and charge every 90-100 miles. Each charge took at least an hour to get to 260-280 range. Thankfully never had to unhook but did have to get clever reaching a charger with a trailer attached. I Never waited to get to 300mi (Cyberbeast). I’m now looking for a diesel truck to tow for trips. It’ll work, but it adds significant time to long drives already.

I didn't have that bad of range hauling 16k. Do you remember the stats from your trip?

Great idea. They could add it to the profiles they already have.

Worst case, flat front tall trailer, cold, windy and rain 100-120 miles
Best case, flat trailer, cool day, no wind, no rain, 170-200 miles
Wind resistance is brutal on the battery range

Silverado gets the perfect day range due to a massive battery, truck weighs and handles terribly

we need very advanced one or two more generations of battery, 500 miles of range that will cut down to 250 miles
