Today we have the brand new Tesla Cybertruck, and we'll be doing the hardest thing an EV Truck can do - Tow 11,000lbs in below freezing weather. How much can the Cybertruck tow? How far can the Cybertruck tow? Well today we find out the answer to both of those questions.

This is a Dual Motor All Wheel Drive CyberTruck. The Vehicle was charged up to 100% the night before this test. (The Cybertruck Probably reached 100% around 2am in the morning, and then sat in my garage for about 6 hours or so while still plugged in, before coming out of the garage and being connected to the trailer.

...the only real difficulty with range and consumption is the fact that we don't have charging stations everywhere the way we have gasoline filling stations everywhere.

Obviously, EV charging is an extremely young industry and will take some scaling up and development to fit along with a still developing overall EV industry.

as part of the OP, answer the question that was headlined, then we, the reader, can decide if we want to watch this video and further monetize this YouTube account.

... I've seen other posters copy/paste the auto-generated transcript of the video into their posts

Collectively we've all become quite familiar with the manipulative use of clickbaiting, and it's become quite annoying

Plus... id really like to know how it faired LOL
