Even though the Tesla Cybertruck has a longer range and higher towing capacity than the Model X, the SUV that towed a trailer the longest by quite a margin.
Bowlus is a high-end trailer manufacturer that brands itself as the “first all-electric RV company,” and it recently tested to see how far a Tesla Cybertruck and a Model X could pull one of its Volterra trailers specifically designed for EVs. Surprisingly, even though the Cybertruck has a slightly longer range than the Model X, as well as more towing capacity, it was the latter that achieved the greatest towing range.
The Cybertruck apparently couldn’t match it, and it only managed 160 miles or around 47% of its range estimate—that’s a big difference, and it could be attributed to the Cybertruck’s extra weight compared to the Model X as well as other aspects of the testing methodology that were not fully explained in the post. Bowlus says its range test was comprised of 65% highway driving and 35% rural road driving.
