A Tesla Cybertruck range test has resulted in only 103 miles (166 km) of range, but it was performed in the worst conditions possible. As we reported earlier this week, the first independent tests of the Cybertrucks are starting to come in, and people seem to be particularly interested in the towing range of the new electric pickup truck. In one of the first tests, we saw the Cybertruck get about 160 miles of range towing roughly 6,000 lbs in decent conditions. Now, we get a much tougher…

One of the first independent Tesla Cybertruck towing tests shows the electric pickup truck gets roughly 160 miles of range while towing about 6,000 lbs. In its current version, the Cybertruck gets a lot less range than originally promised when unveiled back in 2019. The Dual Motor Cybertruck version with 20″ wheels is rated at 320 miles of range. Tesla is planning a “Range Extender” battery pack that will sit in the bed and boost the range by over 100 miles. It will be very useful for towing,…

A Tesla Model Y was spotted towing a full-size tractor-trailer. Why? We don’t know. Is it smart? Probably not. Does it look badass? Absolutely. Electric vehicles are not known for their incredible towing capabilities when it comes to heavy capacity. They can pull them, but it affects their range so much that it isn’t popular yet. This is expected to change with electric pickup trucks when longer ranges coming to market, like the Tesla Cybertruck with range extender and the Chevy Silverado…

Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla, recently shared a video on X showcasing the impressive capabilities of the Cybertruck. The video features the Cybertruck outperforming a Porsche 911 in a race while towing another Porsche 911. Musk’s caption, “Beats a Porsche 911 while towing a 911,” accompanied the exhilarating footage.In the video, both the Cybertruck and the Porsche are positioned at the starting line. As the race commences, the Cybertruck takes a commanding lead, ultimately securing victory. What…

Earlier this month, a teenager taking his boat down to the water went viral after a driver caught his interesting tow job on camera. Without a car or truck to tow the boat, the clever owner was able to use a much more efficient vehicle: an electric scooter. The Australian boater was heading to the water with his jon boat in tow, rigged behind his standing electric scooter. In a setup that can only be described as a “don’t try this at home” scenario, he tied the boat trailer to himself using a…

Which electric van can tow the most, you ask? Well, that title goes to the IVECO eDaily after the standard electric commercial van pulled over 338,500 lbs (153.58 tons), setting a new Guinness World Record. Electric van sets new Guinness World Record for towing Commercial vehicle manufacturer IVECO released its new eDaily electric van at the IAA Transportation 2022 Trade Fair in Hanover last September, designating it as the “electric twin” of one of its best-selling gas-powered van models.…

Horses are your most trustworthy and lively way to travel across Hyrule. While The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom does allow you new ways to get around by building all sorts of crazy contraptions, none can ever replace a well-trained and healthy horse. Aside from just allowing Link to get around, horses can now even pull entire wagons if you get and equip them with a harness. Doing so isn't hard, but it's not exactly explained in detail. If you've got a load of materials or items you need to tow long…

Magpie Aviation announced a novel new approach to electric airplanes on Monday. Today’s battery technology (including CATL’s new, more efficient one) severely limits the practicality of zero-emission aircraft, leaving clean-energy innovators with two incomplete options: flying a plane full of batteries or one full of people — but not both. So the California-based startup wants to tie them together, extending the rear plane’s range by hundreds of miles. Towing planes isn’t a new concept, with military use going back to…
