All electrics have bad towing range, but Cybertrucks are the worse. Its aerodynamics funnel air towards the towing load, dropping the range down to 90 miles or so at an 11k lb load. This was during the winter, but was still abysmal.

So far, the new electric Silverado has the best towing range, but even that is 177 miles with the same load.

Jerryrigeverything has been doing towing tests of the electric trucks by hitching up his homemade electric Hummer.
