BTW Time or YS, what happened to the 300,000 tow rating?

It is in the same place as the F150 pulling 1,000,000 pounds and the Tundra pulling the space shuttle. These are limited exposition demonstrations not for consumer use. But you're not that dim to actually get pulled into this marketing hype so why do you repeatedly ask the question????

The difference is Ford and Toyota never stated that was the tow rating.

Neither did Tesla. The only tow rating numbers given by Tesla were max 14000 pounds. Elon tweeted something to the effect of 300,000 on twitter when someone asked about a tow capacity of 30,000 pounds. I think he was being way conservative at 300,000 pounds. Are you possibly getting those confused?

Unfortunately that is Elon's Achilles heal. He has a big mouth. Because that is exactly what he said. Also the reason he is not the cairman and cost them millions in fines. You may decide which versions of facts you choose to believe from him but that does not absolve him from just spouting off to stroke his ego or prop up the stock.

Nope. What he said was. “300,000”. When the other tweeter asked if it would have a 30,000 pound tow capacity. No tow ratings were ever mentioned. Again. The cybertruck will easily have the capacity to to 300,000 and probably closer to a million pounds....just like the electric ford did.

Max tow rating speculation specs of the Tesla cybertruck are listed on the website as 14000 pounds. Also totally feasible.

No, exact quote from Elon "300,000 lb towing capacity"

How you interpret that anything other that what he said is beyond me.
