Wow! Beautiful truck. Love the wrap.

Very informative video. I’m usually not one to get a first generation but I’ll definitely be looking 👀 out for this in future years.

Last summer we towed our Jayco travel trailer from Minnesota to Alaska and back and plan on doing it again in 2025. No way we could do that with the Tesla.

I took my 2023 GMC Canyon in to the dealership for a little work and was given the opportunity to drive an EV (Chev Blazer). Great experience. I like what Shawn said, that for most everyday driving a EV works well (Pickup or other). I rarely drive more than 200 km a day, so I would rarely recharge anywhere but at home. I do think, that for those who tow long distances (600-800km in a day), the EV will need to really plan and be willing to take longer breaks for charging then filling a Fuel Tank with traditional fuels. Very interesting vehicle. Thanks for the video.

Tesla would have been easier as there are more charging options for it (they said it in the video). It was also a year ago and with the rate of EV chargers (over 10,000 installed in 2023), I'm pretty sure it would be easier today, and definately possible to drive all the way from California to deadhorse with a CyberTruck. You can always stop at a campground to charge from 50 amp outlet. It might take longer but it's definately possible and would become easier with time. Most of the nationwide gas indrastructure was built in a couple of decades. Building charging stations is easier since there's electricity (almost) everywhere. Even in Alaska.

We were just in Arley AL and went to Cullman a few times!! Love your videos and if we didn’t tow a 45’ 5th wheel full time I’d be in line for a Cyber Truck.

I'm glad you got to check it out. Still, the old truck rules when it comes to towing. There's an Easter egg on the center screen inside when you tap on the side windows, they break and play the sound byte of when the steel balls broke the windows in the reveal.

One of my brothers had a 1968 Ford Fairlane fastback when I was a kid. The discussion about removing the mirror in the Cybertruck reminded me of something he used to say. The steeply sloped rear window was a huge piece of glass, but in the mirror it looked like a _mail slot._ This review didn't change my previous impression that the Cybertruck is a fun toy, but not the right tool for long-distance spontaneous road tripping. When I'm towing a travel trailer I'm selective about refueling stops, because I want easy access to fill up and exit while still hitched. Charging stations aren't generally laid out with long straight lanes, and backing a trailer in a crowded parking lot is inconvenient. BTW: Tesla has just announced cutbacks in expansion of the charging network. I wouldn't count on continued rapid improvement of the infrastructure for the next few years.

@bigjohnd1973

I have not heard anyone point that out about charging station access when you're towing. Excellent point. This thing is so un-practical.

Like it. We live full-time in our Caravel 19cb. We are old and slow travelers, meaning, we don't drive more than 200 miles a day. We are in the rural Dakotas now, so using it would require an extra bit of planning. Our Gladiator (Max Tow Package) only has 62,000 miles on it, so we'll be using it for a while. Jeep and Airstream are paid for, so I'm happy to be happy with our rig.

That the battery from it could actually power the truck for extended range. It will be a problem of having to d/c to charge at stations. Still would like to see you guys get one and use it.

Defined as an around town hauler, it seems to fit the bill. Short Trip, Cargo, Time to Return to Recharge. For hauling beyond the convenience of around town: What is the total transit time for use as a Tow Vehicle. Drive, Charge, Drive, Charge,,, for a typical 350 - 500 travel day. Under 8 hours of driving, spread over intermittent charging, this could be 12 hours? (Assuming a flat road with a tail wind?) The mileage does not seem to calculate towed weight and terrain over the expected course. (8,000 pounds, through Wyoming, Drag Ratio of Trailer, Elevation Ascent-Descent, Distance to, and availability of charging stations. I would expect that the ability to make a reservation at the charging station and the restaurant you sit in while you recharge should be offered in the Computer processing of Total Transit Time including the incorporation of weather and traffic. The additional accessories would also need to be included. Outside Temp, Inside Temp Req's(A.C/Heating), Predicted use of Windshield Wipers, Blinkers(passing, lane change, turning, braking), Rear Viewing Station Operation, Phone charging, Sound Source and Speaker use. Additionally, the transit speed(towing laws within the state) would also expected to be included in the algorithm. A fair assessment would derive from acknowledgement of the Ground Rules and Assumptions that are used in the Performance Envelope. This would show the benefits and features of each vehicle for its intended purpose. The Tesla Truck establishes production, regains R&D costs, and moves forward with the brand and its capabilities. The consistency of Diesel as a predictable fuel for energy demands and the capacity of the resource suggest that Seemore has a long and pampered life ahead of him. A trailer pull through charging station with shore power to sit in the Trailer? A vehicle charger for detached trailers? Any use of electricity reduces the Vehicle comfort, conveniences or range. Range is fixed to align with the next charging location, so for safety reasons the charging location accomplishment is the top priority. Longlive Seemore! or Here Come the Cracker Barrels!

I also like the Cybertruck, and feel it's a very well thought out vehicle. However, for camping that's another story. Besides the towing range limitations, there are two significant considerations to think about. 1. You'll most likely need to be unhitched from the Airstream to use the Tesla charger (imagine the logistics on that one...) 2. I've started noticing campgrounds with new rules about no charging EVs being allowed popping up more and more. We have a small Class C (Minnie Winnie) here in Texas, and on our last trip we stopped at a few RV parks that clearly stated no EV charging allowed. However, we also have a Volkswagon ID.4 EV, and have taken it to a Texas State Park. We bring the Level 2 (i.e. slow rate) charging cable along, and I was able to plug into a 30 amp receptacle. It took about 4-5 hours to top off the battery. I even mentioned it to the park rangers, and they said as long as I was paying for the campsite it was okay.

Excellent video!

We cannot even! Such a cool video. Jim has been making mock ups of our Airstream with a cyber truck since they first started talking about them. We are drooling. Thank you for showing us this amazing vehicle! - Michelle

How long would it take to recharge it with an 1800 watt gas generator?

I still have a couple of gas vehicles and a gas truck, but my Tesla model 3 dual motor is by far the best car I own. I'd buy a cyber truck, but I'd probably hold off using it for rving at the moment. I've never been in a pickle, even going to small towns in the middle of nowhere with my Tesla, but I have nearly 300 miles of range, with only 150 or less towing I could see someone getting in a pickle while traveling to unknown areas. With the full range using the GPS (Tesla GPS will route you for any necessary charging), you really never get put in a bad situation. But with the short towing range I could see a person getting stuck between charges in remote areas.

Both Sean and Christy looked excited during the test drive. Sleek look, nice concept. But, I am still old school, liking a traditional truck. Fantastic review!

What is the Payload capacity? Will it autolevel after putting weight on the hitch? How can you see behind the RV when it’s hitched to the Tesla? Does it have the ability to view an rv rear camera on the teslas big screen? Does it auto hitch like a Ford? Does it have a trailer brake control? Electric over hydraulic? Does it have a hitch capable of weight distribution? Heads up display? Impressive “half ton truck “. But there was no real information about towing

So I am watching this on May 10, and they are talking coronal mass ejections... Will that be a problem with this?

On all of those trucks, until the 6.7 came out, I was pleased if I did not loose speed going uphill. We towed a 4 horse living quarter trailer back then 43 foot long. I was traveling to a horse show in Gonzales LA and while going on I-10 up the steep bridge heading west getting into New Orleans I just did a test and let the truck/trailer slow to about 50.

I’ve owned a model Y and now have the Cybertruck. There’s NO WAY you can tow and charge at a super charger. You have to back up close to almost every supercharger which means you’d have to unhook your tow vehicle before charging. BUT- the truck is FREAKING AWESOME!!!

I've charged with my Airstream attached many times with my Plaid. You just have to think it thru. You may block a couple chargers, you may not. When I tow I only unhitch half the time.

Yes it would be perfect for you guys... 150 miles then charge for 1hr and go 100 more miles is plenty for towing for a day... Buy it your love it...

You make a very interesting point. Everyone of course, is focused on the range. The way we typically travel, we rarely ever tow more than 300 miles in one day. We are not people who put in 12 hour driving days, at least not typically. We prefer to meander at a slower pace. This vehicle would suit that lifestyle.

I agree when I tow it's the same 300 miles is max. That means stopping for one l00% full charge or 2 80% charges. With simple smart charging it makes for an easy day tow... Plus it would make for 2 good sessions of content.. You will not believe how quite and relaxing your towing experience will be... Just one fans opinion

@@stanfordbanks3399 agreed. Even when you drive 150 miles, will you stop somewhere in there to eat, get a snack, stretch your legs, or pee? Or do these haters keep pee cups in their cars?

As long as you keep SeeMore, I think it would be great if you purchased one.

Interesting, but I think keeping that huge windscreen clean all the way to where it meets the dash will be problematic. The bed should be able to hold a 4 x 8 sheet, and maybe it will but my impression is a lot of wasted/useless space. JMO and I could be wrong.

Can't say I'm wooed by the exterior design but I kinda liked the interior and covered bed. It may be capable/applicable for some travel trailers, but certainly not for most fifth wheels. I think your assessment that it would a good fit for a casual pickup truck driver is bang on and its not really ready for the RV market.

Un-hitch, charge, hitch up every 90-miles?

No not for RVing range and charge times will be a killer. Maybe a hybrid with 7.2 kw onboard power. Not sure if you can get that in diesel.

If we didn't full-time RV, I would be interested. Think of all the thrift store and yard sale finds you could store in there!

The biscuits are still great!

Ha ha, thanks for watching till the end. There used to be nothing better than getting the first hot biscuits out of the oven at six in the morning.
