It looks like Tesla and BYD are #1 and #2 in EVs.

Ice burns at 10x the rate as an electric but put "Tesla burns" in the headline and get 1000 times the clicks.

Been mentioned earlier in the thread.

This is way cool high-tech Cybertruck's towing features.

"The towing technology will feature a payload/towing calculator as well as displaying of real-time changes to max acceleration, braking, cornering, speed on gradient & range (factoring in route elevation changes & cargo or tow mass & drag impact)."

I might consider keeping my RV trailer for a while. It will be exciting to test these features and decide later whether to get the Lance costumized to Cybertruck truck camper (am not even sure if they are making one).

I wasn’t meaning to. But that technology you mention is nothing new nor a Tesla innovation.
My 7 year old Dodge car has those features.

Nothing really breakthrough there, it's just software and sensors. Some features will be dependent on the driver entering the correct parameters such as weight and frontal area etc. A generalzation at best not unlike the mpg and range readout on most vehicles or theinfo you can get with a scangauge. It's not like the truck could detect and know what youre towing. It certainly won't change the actual range you get when towing as much as 2 ft.


I believe the Ford F150 lightning gives you all that info and you can actually buy one now, not look at pictures and drool.....sort of. Thats if you want to jump through a hundred hoops and pay upwards of $20K or more over MSRP.

Please allow us to ask you for clarification.

This is not a breakthrough, but it's a breakthrough for Ford?

Are you against the breakthrough or against the breakthrough if it's Tesla?
