While packing and shipping this Spring’s It’s Better Outside store orders, Corey shares the surprise about how he is getting all of the orders to the post office and scares Lily a little bit in the process!
Corey’s brother got his new Tesla Cybertruck right before we arrived in Maine this year and allowed us to use it not only to make all of our deliveries but also to test out towing the RV. The reactions we got driving it around alone were pretty crazy, but people were really expressive when they saw it towing the RV!
Overall, we were very impressed with how the Cybertruck performed during our little test. The girls loved being able to look through the full sunroof back at the RV, and we were all surprised by how smooth it drove since we were maxing out its towing capacity.
Jess got a little nervous when she had to drive while Corey was droning the adventure. Everything was fine until Corey crashed the drone!
Stay tuned for next week as we travel to and explore 2 totally different sides of New York, and we share our new RV for the summer! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

So my red shirt got a ride in a Tesla before I have. Cool

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It sure did 😃

[@keithstaciadavis7330]

😂 that’s funny!

[@johnturner7322]

Yes electric trucks are just not ready for towing. Also currently in most cases your would have to disconnecvt your trailer to be able to charge.

[@carlsanders4680]

Can not get over the UGLY factor. I grew up in the 70's with muscle cars. SS Chevelle, Mach 1 Mustang, 442, just to name a few. I got a brand new '76 Trans Am half way thru my senior year, thank you dad. Not because my parents were rich, because he told me and my sister if we dug deep and did the best we could in school. He would buy us a car our senior year. We both did that but my poor father as we learned later worked so many overtime hours to make that happen for us, we missed out on time with him. Even when he would work 6 days a week, he would still take us to the lake in the boat he basically bought for us and take us skiing. Funny how later in life you understand how much your parents gave up for you, how much they did for you. Saw a quote once." You never understand how much you love your mom and dad until they are gone". I found out !!!!!!!!

[@Tracy30444]

Some of us think most modern cars are ugly and look like plastic kids toys, damn near all the same shape. I love the cybertruck. Why be boring?

[@jtoepke9763]

I wonder how it would feel backing an Rv with four wheel stearing. Also I have noticed locally that electric vehicles that don’t use the brakes but just decelerate no brake light go on. I think that could be a potential rear end collision given how quickly electric motors slow down. Thanks for taking us on a towing test drive.

[@johnbaxter6313]

was wondering the same thing too. wouldnt want to be following the rig. nothing more annoying than no brake lights

[@andrewfidel2220]

They have to put on the brake light when deceleration exceeds a certain value, it's a NHTSA requirement.

[@chsmithins]

⁠​⁠@@andrewfidel2220You mean tell us someone at NHTSA had already thought about that potential problem before deceleration electrics were allowed on the road?? Wow.

[@andrewfidel2220]

@@chsmithins hybrids have been doing regenerative braking for nearly 30 years at this point, so yeah =)

[@ryanparkington9254]

We tow our trailer (although only 5,500lbs) with a 1/2 ton hybrid. It has great torque and in my opinion is the best of both worlds for a light RV. I get great mileage in the city while it takes advantage of the electric motor but have the range needed when doing bigger trips. I share your opinion about the interior of the CyberTruck but am not a fan of the exterior. Until battery range increases exponentially, they are not viable for anyone that wants to drive more than 2 hours at a time.

[@LifeIsAJourney4Us]

Something that has to be addressed for EV towing is the fact that charging stations are not built for trucks with trailers, etc. Every time you charge up you will have to disconnect, drive over to charge station and then charge and reconnect.

[@andrewfidel2220]

Pilot/Flying J is adding EV chargers designed to accommodate towing, it's still early but we'll get there eventually.

[@calledtojourney]

Precisely. Existing lithium battery technology just isn't going to cut it due to the long charging time. Driving 2-3 hours followed by 2-3 hours charging isn't going to work for most people towing long distances.

[@sebastianthedog]

That is the ugliest vehicle ever invented. It looks like a joke.

[@rver99]

Not nearly as much of a joke as a squatted brodozer with offset bicycle tires and nearly every ounce of utility removed from the truck, but I get your point.

[@_krimzen_]

The reason it looks so stupid is because the guy made his engineers slap something together quickly just so he could be the first to come out with an EV truck. Seriously. That thing is basically a 10 yr olds doodle.

[@TNWisky7]

I don't hate it, I don't Like Someone Telling Me I Half To Buy One. I Would Rather Have A Gas car Because I Like Filling It Up Once A Week and You Can Get Gas Anywhere. It Looks Cool As Heck And It Sounds Like Fun. A Bunch Of You Tuber's Have Tried Them. And The Winabego Electric RV. Range seems to be The Only Issue.

[@airstreamer]

The skies were beautiful! So cool you got to experience that. We had a hope of pulling our Airstream with a Cyber truck! Jim even did a "mock up" of one with our Airstream. 😊 How cool that you got to not only drive one, but experiment with pulling your RV. Great drone footage, until BLAM! Yes, Jim crashed his first drone, and found it, but it was not repairable. -Michelle

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It was a fun little experiment ! What did you get instead of the Cyber Truck?

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Awesome Episode. Thank you Drew, this was a good look into the Truck. The shirts look great. If you're not crashing your drone, you're not flying your drone. Crashing is going to happen the best "captures" have the most risk of crashing. Unless you're at the beach. and the ocean is your obstacle 😂

[@FindingOurSomeday]

😂😂😂 “the ocean” 🤦‍♂️

[@paulrodrigues9603]

I'm sitting here in a campground in Statesville, NC. Reading the rules and regulations. I come across this jem. Electric Vehicles can not be charged on any RV site. A fine of $500. will be charged to violators of this rule.

[@user-uo6zg2eh2h]

The cyber truck is great for what it is. A novelty at this point. Fun too. Till the charging network improves you won’t get far You loose half the charge towing.

[@kristigeiger3680]

We have a Model Y and towed our car trailer with it. Empty load but still. We got looks for sure. It's super nerve wracking to drive till you get used to it. Glad you guys could try it out!

[@nina_g6857]

Soooo cool ❤️ seems quiet inside - I would buy it if I could afford it & love the space age exterior.

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

Glad you had fun. Several channels have towed on a full charge and found it to get less than 100 miles. Maybe one day it'll be a practical truck.

[@_krimzen_]

That thing is the most unserious vehicle since the unicycle. Way better and way less ridiculous options on the EV market.

[@wendyrobertson188]

❤😂😂❤ The girls look like they did when they were pre-teens sitting back there. I can just see their feet hanging off the end of the seats. It's adorable but I'm sure they don't think so. 😂😅😂 ❤❤❤. The truck isn't my cup of tea. I prefer the late 50's, early 60's trucks, the real Detroit stuff, not the fluff they're serving up now a days. An engine I can wrench on, or take it to a, if they pass the test, trusted mechanic.

[@calledtojourney]

The truck is....unique. 😉 I've grazed several trees with my DJI Mini 2, including in the Yukon last summer. It actually fell from quite a distance, but I recovered it, and it worked perfectly. They're remarkably durable.

[@sherriitsamea3476]

We just saw one at Myrtle Beach state park & had no idea it was a truck. I wasn’t a fan of the exterior either but I figured it would be cool inside. Im so shocked it tows that much. Thanks for all the info. Great video

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It’s a unique truck for sure! Yeah 11k is a lot!

[@takethenextturn8775]

Our country’s infrastructure needs to be part of the discussion. EV’s are heavy vehicles. Some, like the Tesla truck, offer extender packages for the bed of the truck (more batteries for longer range). This adds even more weight. I’m thinking of bridges, roadways, parking garages, etc that were not built with capacity for everyone driving with much heavier vehicles on a routine basis. This doesn’t even include the added burden to our electrical grid nationwide which in some areas of the country would cause havoc. I like the idea of them. Would be great if they recharged fully while driving, could actually tow an RV of mid to large size beyond one hundred miles, and had better more ecological ways of mining for lithium for the batteries (it’s pretty awful from the videos of the process in Africa) and disposal of said batteries. I see nothing wrong for those who want to buy them. It’s just that consumers should not be FORCED to buy them. They do look like they have major innovations. Tesla definitely seems to be way ahead of the game in the EV market.

[@larrygray1557]

Saw one parked at Sams Club today. While beyond ugly but dwarfed vehicles in surrounding spaces - including half ton and 3/4 ton. good to see 4 wheel turn and would need them to negotiate tight parking lot. That full glass roof brought out bad memories from last year in Italy, and luckily with concern about Italian driver stereotypes took out the optional insurance on the rental. Middle of the night had a hail storm with what sounded like baseball size hail at the AirBnB outside Verona. While had major dents and cracked windshield, Hertz couldn't replace it because all their cars were damaged by same storm so drove it to Milan for flight back. Other residents/guest in the AirBnB had far more damage, including busted out windows, in their personal car as they were Europeans. Getting back to Tesla, one guest had friends staying further north at Lake Como where the same storm totally destroyed his glass roof Tesla. Got to the Milan airport, turned in the rental...and owed nothing!

[@badventures3895]

Fun, surprising episode! My son is out in Austin building the CyberTruck. They’re trying to keep up with demand working 12-hour days. A guy with our same model Brinkley TT is towing it with his CyberTruck and doing all the testing for range, etc. I think he’s consistently gotten about 100 miles with 11k GVWR. He tows with his F350 for longer range trips. Corey, you may be onto something with your idea to tether the RV solar to the vehicle. 🤷‍♀️

[@kevincameron8437]

I can see electric coming along within 10 years for RVing. The infrastructure across the country has to catch up. I do like the idea of using the camper solar system to augment the tow vehicle. So, there are ways ahead. But, I'm glad we have options now. Thanks for sharing.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Yeah 2k plus in solar panels on the roof could charge that puppy up!

[@calledtojourney]

@@FindingOurSomeday It would be slow. 2 kilowatts of solar output is under 2% of the Cybertruck's capacity. Over the course of a bright summer day, they would only replace about 10-12% (at best) of the truck's capacity (about 10-12 miles of driving while towing, per your test). Those are some big batteries to charge.

[@RayLyle-kx2ks]

I have never been an Electric vehicle person. But I was really impressed with Cyber truck. I work at a Freightliner shop and they are working with Electric trucks now. Great video stay safe and most of all live life to the fullest and have fun.

[@cross9494]

Thanks for taking us along!

[@FatOldman3832]

This is to cool. For camping around in state, it would be great and work fine. I could charge it at home, pull to campground in state, then charge the truck at the campsite. So, from a fuel cost, this might be a big savings. Even going out of state to let's say the Smokies, I would only have to charge it once on the way which is no big deal. You guys are great.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Definitely doable with proper planning! Have a great rest of the day !

[@scottmichaels6854]

100% It's absolutely ridiculous, whether it be Elon's junk truck or Ford's Lightning junk. Nobody who's serious about towing would ever buy something like this.

[@glengronewold2274]

Extended range system goes almost 600 miles. Pulling would most certainly lower that some. 30 gallon of diesel at 9-10 mpg is 270-300 miles. Sounds pretty reasonable to me

[@toddfry7861]

​@glengronewold2274 my Chevy Duramax will tow our camper 300 plus miles. I pull in and fill up, get a drink and use the restroom. All done in 20 minutes. How long does it take to charge to get a full charge?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Probably more like every 120 miles

I think it could work if you're bouncing around locally. We live on the East Coast, so if you keep it within that 150-mile range, you'd be okay. I also wouldn't pull our RV with it, something lighter like a Airstream Base Camp, or something in the Jayco 172 size, GeoPro, etc might work.

[@carlsanders4680]

I have air suspension on my '23 Tundra, love it. Love it levels your truck after you hook up your load. But, in that thing. If you run low, you can not just pull into any gas station and fill up. There are so few places to recharge and if you can. Do you want to spend couple of hours recharging? That is one of the things the infrastructure package is supposed to help with. Also the battery companies are not going to get EV going until they get charge times down to 30 minutes or less. Tell me this. If you had to pull in and charge up. Would you buy an EV where very time you had to stop, 2 hours ? Or would you get a gas or hybrid. 5 minutes you are on your way ? I am not dissing EV, just the infrastructure is not there yet. Battery charge times is not there yet. It will be, just not at the moment.

Diesel electric would be the way to go. Engine runs at its peak efficiency point and instant torque of electric. Seems to work well for locomotives.

I would like more information on how that cyber track does with towing trailer on hills & mountains. I just cant see it towing anything thru the rocky mountains. I agree, i think around town it would be fine. But in areas of our country that some towns are 100's of miles apart or if you live in rural, back country, you'd have to find a charging station before you could turn around & go home. As well as how the batteries don't do well in cold & extreme heat. More research and refinement needs to be made, as well as the cost needs to come down before most people would buy! But, thanks for your fun video. Beautiful photography!

[@ladikmk]

Interesting, and I really do think Elon Musk must have watched the Jetsons too. While watching this video I couldn't stop thinking about the survivability rate of this electric vehicle/truck in an accident - that's a lot of glass!

[@aaronhendrickson]

Others don't recommend towing with the cyber truck unless you want to make a lot of charging stops. There is an electric truck that has enough range for towing. Rivian R1S. Depending on what battery pack you get, you can get 375 to 440 on a charge. Cheaper than the cyber truck. You can go to the rivian factory and they will let you test drive. I think they might let you tow, but one of them would be with you. Problem is, there are hardly any pull through charger stations. You can't charge while driving. Most charging stops are 25 to 40 min up to 80%. Detailed information is on "out of spec" channels on KZbin. The ones will be reviews. The range test, motors. Note: most are between 1 and 2 hours. Some are longer.

[@QuiltGeek]

Have seen 2 of these trucks in So Cal. One is my neighbor’s. Going to take a while to get used to the looks of it. Looks like it would be fun to drive.

[@dkpygman]

If you let off the accelerator, and that simulates braking, does that actuate the brake lights on the trailer, or are you slowing down, without giving drivers behind you any indication?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Yes the lights aluminate just like actually hitting the brakes, I had the same question!

[@cdbnum1]

It’s a good vehicle going back and forth to the post office for deliveries but towing it’s terrible!

[@brucegruenbaum]

We were in Spanish Trail RV park in Moab, UT and I crashed my Mavic 3 into a power line! Stupid part was I saw the lines and thought I was above the highest line. I hit the line and it broke the camera mount so the camera was hanging underneath the front of the drone. The drone carried on flying so I brought it back to land. DJI was terrific with their service. They replaced the drone and I got the new one in a week.

[@michielmeijer5653]

So it can tow 11k lbs and also take load in the bed, so with a 5th wheel configuration, you could tow a 14k lbs 5er. As long as both the tow weight and truck bed weight isn’t surpassed?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

In theory yes, but I don’t think you can put a 5th wheel on the cyber truck🤷‍♂️

[@carlsanders4680]

Cory, you look like me. A V-8 duel exhaust kid of guy. Have had those my whole life. Now I have a '23 Hybrid Tundra V-6 Twin Turbo. 437 HP, way more than my old V-8 F-150. Changing times.

Great episode! Nice review on the Cyber Truck. You gave good common sense thoughts on where it can work and where it just isn’t quite ready yet. I love the fact your shirts are a family project and you use your brother’s company to print your them.

[@stephenb6054]

A refrigerator on wheels😬 while hooked to your trailer, does the truck have a trailer braking mode (setting) and a similar GM Stabilitrak system🤔 Just think, all wheel steering while backing your camper into a site 😳😎 Truck side view mirrors should be able to slide out more, so you can see 'down" the side of your camper 🤔

[@LetsRVtv]

Hate is a strong word. The truck is ugly. But if that's what you like, buy it. It's your money. I agree with all your comments. It's not bad for around town or even travel if you factor in the charging time. But towing a heavy trailer, it's not their yet. So for that reason, I'm out. I love my diesel Chevy and the ability to quickly pull into a truck stop, fill up and hit the road. You would have to find me somewhere to park your trailer and disconnect so that you could charge on the road.

[@shannonswyatt]

This video brought to you by Tesla. The reason the Cybertruck has 4 wheel steer is because without it you wouldn't be able to turn in a normal parking lot. And it isn't like the Cybertruck can turn inside the radius of a normal truck, it may be slightly better, but put a Sierra or F150 in the same parking lot and measure the size of the circle, it isn't a whole lot better. 19 miles of driving and 46 miles of range blows. Trucks don't have 100 mile ranges, and filling them up doesn't take a more than a 5 minutes. The Cybertruck price is failing fast. People that thought they were going to use them for truck things are finding out quick that it makes a poor pickup. The main thing you hear about it is how fast it is, but when someone buys a normal pickup they are not comparing quarter mile ETs, they want to know how much it can tow, how much it can haul, and other normal stats, not it's acceleration on drag strip.

[@royallen9698]

I have seen the Cyber truck several times here in SoCal, and initially, they didn't appeal to me, but I have to say I liked the way it looked with your trailer. I'd like to see what it would look like with my Heartland Bighorn connected. I also think it would be awesome if there was a way to recharge the batteries while traveling.

[@brianacker7318]

A family in our neighborhood has one. The exterior is not the best. Rivian has trucks that look like our current trucks do. Not sure if performance is any better

[@johnnunya4776]

That's just way cool, but not very practical for full time RVing, like you said. I was impressed with how much cargo space it had. From the outside it doesn't look like it would hold much. Thanks for the FOS review!

[@grayfox9911]

That was very interesting. I think it would certainly fail on the road because of the battery and the time to charge. It is ugly too...

[@LilyWasHereMB]

Imagine the sales volumes if it just looked more like a "normal" truck. More along the lines, in terms of futuristic styling, of the Ram Revolution, instead of George Jetson's daily.

[@lancewulfers2502]

Simgle pedal mode is dangerous for first timers. You can set it to use the normal gas pedal go and brake pedal stop functions for forst timers.

[@glengronewold2274]

Check out Rivian

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Those are cool trucks!

[@michaelcain1870]

A couple of thoughts: 1. Today's battery technology is in its infancy and is the worst that it will ever be. Imagine people that laughed at trucks when compared to a horse-drawn wagon back in 1900. 2. In the future, RVs will have a full EV battery pack with an electric motor, so your tow vehicle will just be assisting the trailer, which will be powering itself. Ultimately, the range will equal anything on the road today. Once you get to your destination, you will have that massive battery pack to operate all of your RV electronics. Imagine being able to go off grid with a 10,000 amp hour battery! The EV future will be awesome!

[@amynelson9362]

Watkins Glen blew me away, and I must say that you all looked like a million bucks in NYC! What I got a kick out of with the cyber truck was that your girls looked like they shrunk sitting in the backseat! That thing looks very roomy and it's surprising how capable it is. And who knows, maybe it can actually shrink people or time travel or something! I wouldn't be surprised!

We've seen one in High Springs FL area twice now same area.

[@lisamyers8407]

I seen one of those Tesla Cyber Trucks on I65 going south in Louisville Kentucky on July 4th. I was in my 2500HD Duramax and it was flying through a 55 MPH zone. LOL

[@tim_g3478]

That was funny when Lily was talking and videoing Corey while he drove the truck! The boxes all made it to the post office but how many packages were lost enroute?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

All packages arrived, Jess and I did loose one package and had to turn around though🫣

[@ladikmk]

I wondered about that too. Lots of loose cardboard flaps on the back of that "truck." :)

[@gibbsgaming5553]

im hopefully going to upgrading to a diesel pickup, waiting to hear what the axle gear ratio is before i go for it. time to put less wear and tear on my half ton

[@lancewulfers2502]

To be able to use an EV truck with an RV, the RV would need regenerative braking that would swnd the energy back to the truck. Then your range might be usable.

[@jimmyrants4342]

It's pretty cool, but I'll hang with my diesel dually. lol.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Yup, diesel💪

[@Carolina_Panthers145]

I be so glad when i get mine

[@ShawnPatterson402]

excellent review. Electric trucks may one day be the tow vehicle of choice, but not today. Range is way too low, and charging stations are just not set up for a truck and trailer combo. Can anyone envision towing for 100 miles and then disconnecting the trailer to be able to access a charger, only to wait 45 mins and then go another 100 miles and repeat. Not likely for me yet anyway. Hopefully they get range up and charging time down, and actually build some charging stations that a tow vehicle/trailer combo can actually access. safe travels....

[@imaginetravelsGD]

Curious to know if the trailer breaks activate when you let off the gas.

[@kenhuth1762]

TFL did a comparison with a cyber truck towing a heavy travel trailer against a diesel towing the same. Cyber truck 78 miles before dead and $35 to recharge. The diesel could triple the range and cost $27 to fill up.

[@rrporter9198]

Its a cool concept.. But not for real world application, I don't think it can match up to a diesel. Yes, around town for short hauls maybe. One thing you didn't mention, How long will it take to charge it? I hear it takes a long time to charge.

[@richardgivens2422]

I have seen extensive reviews on this electric "tuna can" and must admit that it is quite versatile. My only complaint is the same as yours. Who wants to take that long a break to recharge when you have a travel day and 600 miles to cover?

[@davidspenneberg8769]

We saw one on the interstate up in Ohio a couple of weeks ago.

[@troywalden6197]

Do you have any of the ball caps with the orange front left?

[@ryanmckenzie258]

Are you sure your trailer is 11k lbs? Mine is 34' and is only 7500lbs GVWR. Not that it matters, just caught my attention when you said it. Great video, thanks for the content!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We’re 35.5 and reflections are heavier to start with , but we have added a lot of stuff… full solar setup, auto level, upgraded suspension, disk brakes , and renovated the interior. We’re also full time so we carry a lot of crap🫣😂

[@Bobm-kz5gp]

How about finding charging stations? Your trailer weights less 11,000lbs?

[@MrSocrates69]

The guys over at TFL trucks did a world toughest tow test with a. Cyber truck. Cyber isn't what it needs to be and after some research. We need to push for a hydrogen powered truck. Better power, torque, mileage and the only thing that comes out the tailpipe is water. But that probably never gonna happen with consumer truck. Big rigs maybe.

[@gcslade]

I have a diesel 3500 HD for our 5th wheel, a Tesla Model Y for our daily driver. We LOVE our Model Y !!! I placed a reservation for a Cybertruck on day one and it came in a month ago. I Ttst drove a Cybertruck for a day and decided to wait until the lower cost Dual motor version comes out. Cybertruck is a BLAST to drive and super fast! While the Cybertruck has more than enough power for towing, range is a big issue when towing. Until there is pull through charging stations it's almost impossible to tow a heavy trailer and charge at a supercharging station every 120 miles. I believe a hybrid electric diesel is the most practical solution for an electric towing heavy in the future.

[@bryaninnc5511]

Fun video guys. Personally, I wouldn't have a Cybertruck. It doesn't match my needs (range) and I don't care for the design or the stainless exterior. Reminds me of my frdige and it's enough of a chore keeping that looking good. Given your zeal to keep your white GMC clean, I think keeping this truck clean would drive you crazy 🤣 As you suggested, you'd have to get it wrapped.

[@madweazl]

My 2011 F250 short bed diesel would only make it about 180 miles on a tank and my 2016 Ram 6.4l gas would only get about the same.
