EV Channels Review
The TFL team tests the Tesla Cybertruck's local towing capabilities by hauling a 6,000 lb scissor lift. While the truck performed admirably, demonstrating good power and decent range efficiency (averaging 1.47 miles per kWh while towing), the review highlights a critical user error. The reviewer inadvertently damaged the rear bumper by clipping a spare tire mounted on the trailer due to the Cybertruck's extremely tight turning radius and steer-by-wire system, which allows rear-wheel steering. This incident underscores the importance of understanding the vehicle's unique handling characteristics, especially when towing. The review suggests that while long-distance towing might be challenging, local towing is feasible, and the Cybertruck proves itself as a capable, albeit unconventional, work truck, provided users are mindful of its maneuverability limitations.
