Mirrors and towing

[AustroTom]

Now here's a question, (especially for the non-side mirror lovers):
How will you ever be able to see down the sides of a trailer with non-extendable mirrors when towing, not to mention with side rear cameras only?? Just a thought

I agree with this concern. I was a bit disappointed with towing in the Model Y because of the small size of the side mirrors, and additionally the small and weird shaped mirrors on the Cybertruck. I had hoped they would have included or offered an option for some extendable type mirror for towing.

It’ll be interesting to tow for the first time with it generally. I couldn’t imagine towing only with the cameras. Those who will shoot remove the mirrors probably won’t use their truck to tow much anyway.

Trucks that are equipped for towing have extendable mirrors for towing options. Maybe Tesla will make some someday. Maybe a 3rd party.

Here is what they look like on the Ford:

No doubt there will be someone supplying, I would prefer one with similar styling.

I have big concerns about towing, I have a travel trailer which weighs about 6000 lbs so I figure the best I can do is about 100 miles between charging. I normally tow about 5000 miles per trip, that would be 50 stops for charging. I guess I’ll stick with my Ram.
Plus the truck is now $30k more expensive, I guess I’m out.

I think there is a chance Tesla can get the range up from 100 miles towing, hopefully with a software release soon.

I think aftermarket mirrors will be necessary for towing
