I don’t know. Reading the F150 forum it seems an F150 gasser loses about 40 to 50 percent of its range towing, and that jives with our old GMC 2500 with a 350. A cybertruck with an 800 kilometres range will probably lose about the same. I can see a Cybertruck towing a 6000 to 7000 pound trailer 350 kilometres. The F150 lightning at least for now with its smaller battery and un aerodynamic shape will be less. But a lot of RVers don’t pull 6000 pound trailers, and they are not all shaped like a brick.
Time will tell.
Jmho. Not an expert.
Yah so the 500 kilometre version would work for many around here...
So am I. If you need to tow for 8 or 10 hours a day get a gasser or diesel. But many don’t have that need and would prefer the driving dynamic, ability to fuel at home and lie maintenance of an EV. Buy the right tool for the job it needs to do. A vehicle that can tow 600 kilometres at a shot wouldn’t really have any advantage for us as we would stop at least three or four times on a trip like that. Probably more.
