CYBERTRUCK TOWING: NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS

EV Channels Review

This video critically examines the Tesla Cybertruck's towing capabilities, identifying ten key areas for improvement and three for the second generation. The reviewer highlights the inadequacy of the current mirrors, advocating for larger tow mirrors or enhanced software to display side cameras continuously while towing. Essential software upgrades include zoom functionality and a centerline guide for the backup camera to simplify hitching. The integration of trailer cameras, a trailer tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and the ability to input trailer specifications for accurate range estimation are also strongly recommended. The reviewer emphasizes the need for a stiffer suspension when towing to mitigate bouncing and calls for the immediate availability of 350kW charging and, crucially, pull-through Supercharger stalls, which are currently difficult to locate. For the second generation, improvements suggested include a repositioned hitch receiver for better tailgate clearance, an integrated air compressor in the bed, and a dedicated long-range variant for towing. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive and practical critique, focusing on features that would significantly enhance the towing experience for Cybertruck owners.
