A generator capable of more then 20mph charging would be beyond the towing capacity.

- tzs 2y agoAre you sure? Google tells me a Cybertruck uses around 400 Wh of energy per mile. 20 miles worth of charging then would be 8000 Wh. To generate that much in an hour would take an 8000 W generator. The first 8000 W generator I found [1] is 200 lbs. Here's a 24000 W generator [2] that weighs 455 lbs. The weight of its fuel (propane) would be a little under 17 lbs for each hour's worth.
