How long will it last towing a 10-15k lb trailer? If this "truck" could tow at all.
Not long I would suspect because the charge wouldn't last long at all and would have to be recharged very frequently.


Weโ€™ll have to wait till it hits the road to see real world results. But, there are a lot of trucks out there that donโ€™t tow at all or only tow boats or small trailers. Itโ€™ll find itโ€™s niche. Some people will just want to drive a high performance low maintenance truck thatโ€™s cheap to run. This one would work.


We would have gotten a hint of it on Tesla's battery day supposedly last May which was upended by the pandemic.

The new battery would also give a clue about the Semi's capabilities and into Cybertruck.

Too much pooh-poohing on Tesla's products when in the end, it delivers over and above the promise and even wowed the skeptical techies and the mechanically inclined car and truck ennthusiasts.

Oh, really, I thought it's @Reisender's wife driving.:B

And I was about to congratulate her for having a hot wife.:p


LOL. ๐Ÿ™‚ She is way tougher than me though. This is her about 25 years ago...on a frozen Northern Alberta lake...at about minus 35 celcius...doing flight tests on a cruise missile. Good times, good memories. ๐Ÿ™‚ What a gal.



Now I understand why you are getting the Leaf and she the Cybertruck.:C

I donโ€™t think anyone doubted that. It was meant as humour. :).

I think this is secretly why my wife wants this truck.


LOL!

That's some bad-ass driving.

For me, just not being dusted by those in diesel trucks in I-80 (happened to my daughter while in her Tesla) or in Texas is good enough for me.
