I think that one question is going to be how the Cybertrucks windflow interacts with some trailers.
I don't know and I'm not an air-flow engineer, but it seems as if there could be things to think about.

Then I get a little worried about some trailers, because they are going to really mess up that laminar flow. That trailer is going to look like a 4x8 piece of plywood right as the eddys smooth out. Effectively like towing a brick wall.

I'm sure that the front area looks like a brick wall to the airflow as well.

A flat landscaping trailer hauling 10,000 pounds may be much be much more efficient than a 2,000 lb travel trailer.

Maybe some deflectors like you see on semis would help.
