Tesla has submitted a patent application for an “inflatable aerodynamic deflector” designed to reduce drag when the Cybertruck tows a trailer. This deployable device would bridge the airflow gap between truck and trailer, improving efficiency and extending range. The patent, made public in late 2025, describes a lightweight, air-chamber structure that inflates when needed and deflates when not in use. The design includes features like pressure regulation, multiple mounting options, and compact storage. If developed, this innovation could tackle one of the biggest challenges facing electric pickups: range loss under load.
