[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5333628, member: 5053"] An example: Let's take a really long way to pull a bass boat for no reason. 500 miles. Let's also pretend the cybertruck is stupidly hampered by such a light tow and it has to charge twice. Each charge is 30 minutes or so. So you have 75 minutes of stops on a 500 mile trip. That includes getting of and on the interstate, parking, a little diarrhea, etc.. All the chargers have bathrooms and food. So those are the only stops. What's your number and time of stops for a 500 mile trip anyway in a gas truck? 10 minutes if you have an iron bladder? Maybe 30 minutes? Total stop time is 75 minutes with the cybertruck, AT WORST. And this is biased against it. Total stop time in a gas truck is 30 minutes, at best. So, with all the other advantages (suspension, compressor, ground clearance, horsepower, speed, torque, and payload) you might sacrifice 30-45 minutes extra on a super-long day trip a few times a year? It's a very silly thing to care about. The numbers don't work as an objection. It's a made-up argument. [/QUOTE]
