Sorry but they don't. No transmission at all on Tesla's and most other EVs. The motor is geared straight to the drive wheels. No gear changes, ever. To reverse it you change the current flow to the motor. Maybe you are thinking of hybrids but not all of them use CVT's either.
I own a Tesla Model Y. We really like it. We have towed with it some but it isn't rated for the trailer that I tow the most. So far traveling hasn't been a problem and Tesla is building more chargers every day.
If I had a Cybertruck I would tow with it but I haven't reserved a place in line so that is probably 5 or 6 years out. I probably won't need one by then.
