Performance version is available sooner. The fuel savings vs continuing to drive that dually may pay for much of the upgrade to get it sooner.

Have you upgraded your Cybertruck reservation for dual motor?

I already did mine awhile ago.

Holding off on F150 Lightning with the report of poor towing performance where the 300 miles went down to 78 miles with a tow.

What leads you to believe the Tesla will have better range when towing than the F150? Common sense will tell you the F-150 has more room for batteries. How much is a train ticket to Poughkeepsie?

Unlike so many people who got cloudy crystal balls, I don't do foretelling beyond my skills set or pay grade.

So I usually wait and watch as I did on F150 Lightning.

And I'll do the same on Cybertruck -- if you don't mind.

I have a neighbour here on the campground pulling a trailer on his Rivian. He said he is getting 45% reduction in range with the tow.

Still I won't speculate on whether Cybertruck will be equal, less or more. I'll just wait, observe, learn and decide (although that's made up already) when someone do the tests on real life road conditions.

Fair?
