Starting up a towing thread for the CT. I found what was the first towing video I've actually seen. A good video of a CT towing another off-road electric vehicle (3k lbs) with a flat towing attachment, so not a great test since there is no tongue weight - but I'll take it since it's slim pickings at present.
This is a tri-motor Cyberbeast model with AT tires - so only 301 miles rated range. From what I heard, they were consuming an average of about 800wh/mile while towing this vehicle. So since we know that the CT battery is 123kw from prior testing - that's 123000wh. 123000/800=153.75 miles using the entire pack if my math is right. If we assume you use 80% of the pack - for example going from 90% to 10% towing over a longer range using SC stations - that'd be 123 miles per charge towing under this load. This was only 3k lbs with zero tongue weight - I'd surmise moving up to 8-10k lbs would require much higher wh/mile consumption - but we'll have to wait and see.
If you find any other examples of actual CT towing tests/videos/results - please post them into this thread!
