How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

I think that is a stretch. It isn't the battery tech that causes the range loss when towing and/or cold. That is just physics. Tesla decided to advertise the Semi with the range while fully loaded. The range for the tractor by itself would probably be significantly more, maybe even 1,000 miles.

I doubt they did the same with the range they reported for the Cybertruck. But it will have a good thermal management system so it won't have the horrible cold weather loss that some EVs have. (Though it will still have some.) I would expect that the 500 mile range version will have a real-world towing range of 250-300 miles.
1) Tesla isn't known for low-balling stated ranges to surprise customers positively. quite the contrary... typically they are very aggressive with stated range vs. what you actual achieve

2) yeah yeah... that magical 500 miles rated Cybertruck ... reminds me of the 500+ miles Model S Plaid+

I would be surprised if there is a 500 miles CT option in the next 2-3 yrs...
