Despite being designed to pull trailers that weigh many thousands of pounds, Tesla's Cybertruck is seemingly not great at the whole towing thing.

Case in point: Geneva Long, founder and CEO of all-electric RV maker Bowlus, found that a Model X could tow the company's Volterra trailer significantly farther than the supposedly mighty Cybertruck., Long revealed that the Tesla Model X, which has a range of 330 miles, covered a respectable 235 miles while pulling the RV. The Cybertruck, however — which has a similar range — only covered 160 miles.

If confirmed, it could be yet another sign that the Cybertruck is a lot more of a status symbol than a pickup truck designed to do actual rugged truck things.There could be a number of reasons as to why the brutalist pickup fared much worse. For one, it weighs considerably more than a Model X. However, its 123 kWh battery pack also has a leg up on the Model X's 100 kWh battery.
