The Cybertruck isn’t Tesla’s long-haul towing champ.

Geneva Long, CEO of RV company Bowlus, wrote on LinkedIn that in the company’s tests, the dual-motor Cybertruck could only tow Bowlus’ 3,250lb Volterra electric RV trailer for 160 miles before its battery gave out. Others have seen similar results.

Long says the Tesla Model X, on the other hand, pulled the same trailer 235 miles.

After a report from Reuters said Tesla’s $25,000 Model 2 project got the ax, Elon Musk quickly scheduled a Tesla Robotaxi launch on August 8th. Other than the curiously selected date, this is a reminder that Elon’s made a lot of unfulfilled statements about robotaxis over the years (and “full self-driving,” and autonomy generally).

Bennett Tomlin checks them out in this video, which you have plenty of time to watch before August.
