Towing a boat with a Tesla Cybertruck significantly reduces its range, with estimates ranging from about 250 miles for lighter loads to much less for heavier boats, depending on the weight and driving conditions. Towing heavy loads, such as 11,000 pounds, can make long-distance travel impractical due to rapid range depletion.
The impact of towing a boat on a Tesla Cybertruck's range varies based on the weight of the load and driving conditions. According to a test where the Cybertruck hauled an 8,000-pound boat, the vehicle demonstrated strong performance despite the heavy load, but the specific range impact was not detailed in that instance [1]. However, other sources indicate that towing reduces the range significantly; for example, towing a boat around 13,000 pounds could reduce the range to approximately 250 miles, which is considered a solid baseline for lighter loads like a boat trailer [2].
In a more extreme case, a Cybertruck towing an 11,000-pound boat experienced practical limitations over long distances, highlighting that heavy towing can make extended trips impractical due to rapid battery depletion [3]. Additionally, owners towing lighter loads, such as a 2,500-3,000 pound boat over 60-100 miles, report manageable range reductions, but still note that towing impacts overall range and efficiency [4].
Overall, towing a boat with a Tesla Cybertruck can significantly impact its range, with lighter loads causing less reduction and heavy loads potentially limiting travel to shorter distances unless charging options are available along the route. The exact range loss depends on load weight, driving style, terrain, and weather conditions.
