Towing 1.0 kWh/mile (7,000 lb boat)

[Electrified Marina]

That boat is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind some boat tour pics if you had em.

When I'm feeling the kWh/mi crunch I slow down to ~60max and turn on "performance mode" (not available when towing I assume) but I've been getting remarkably better numbers doing that.

I think there would be a market for aero wheel covers-- even though they'd look universally worse, having the increase in efficiency would make up for it. I ran quite a search on them and couldn't find much at all.

I tow my 2,300lb boat with the Lightning and at 70 it’s 1.4, 65mph is 1.6, and 55 is 1.9mi/kwh.
Towing with the Cybertruck is about the same.

Right. A2ZEV makes the Typhoon Pro adapter for Tesla SuperChargers. It sells for $193.50 (after using code FORDFORUM). They also sell the Stellar adapter, which is for Tesla Destination chargers. It sells for $110. If you pick use the dropdown menu on the Typhoon Pro page to pick the Stellar adapter also, the combined price is $261, 20% off. In other words, it’s only $67.50 more for the destination charging adapter. Delivery is normally 2-3 weeks. I have both adapters and have used both many times. They work great. https://a2zevshop.com/products/nacs-ccs1?ref=Typhoon&variant=43186507579592

I have both of them myself and agree 100% with Rick. The A2Z adapters work great. And super fast!

Me after I just looked up the price of those X Shore boats.

Well, for the price difference between the CT and a Lightning Pro, you might not be able to afford an electric boat, but you can afford a nice wakeboat.

Or maybe a relaxing pontoon:

Nice ... cool that you can do a direct coparison!

Thank you, one thing I wish the Cybertruck battery was a little bigger and could make it to the lake and back.

Agreed, I feel like they've sold themselves a little too short of their 500 mile proposed range.
