Wow, I almost asked Elon to refund my hard-earned $100 for the Cybertruck with all the ghosts found under the hood of this truck.
Until wait, problem with 30 to 50% power drain on Cybertruck. My ICE is worst at more than 50% reduced mpg when towing.
I can only go 200 miles in full charge when towing. Wait, that my regular stops for gas up and lunch on my camping trips.
I'll have problems with off roading? How, it will have a ton more torque and ground clearance?
The bullet proof glass shattered? Who cares, I'm not going to Texas anyways.
The looks, oh yeah, it still have not grown into me yet. Anyone, wants to buy for $5,000 my high-priority place in order-reservation queue?
The difference is that with IC, you can fuel anywhere and it takes very little time to do so. There are infrastructure issues to be worked out before EVs can really take over the RV market, as well as thermal and power delivery issues for charging EVs faster.
If you want range, get a diesel with an aux tank. I can tow around 900 miles on a full tank and tend to tow 400 miles in a day, without stopping, possibly pulling over at a rest stop along the highway to jump in the trailer and use the restroom once. Everyone's travel style is different. What works for you probably doesn't work for a lot of other people here, who would quickly experience the Tesla's limitations given current infrastructure.
That being said, if I weren't full timing with a single vehicle and were living in a city somewhere, I'd probably trade my truck for a Tesla of some sort.
