Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test

I hate Tesla and especially the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this was a highway test and that sounds like a completely normal result.

I own a Bolt EV which is rated for 259 miles of range. On the highway, that's more like ~220. That sounds bad, but the other side of it is that I get ~300 miles of range during my normal work commutes through the city. This is just how EVs are, the estimated range is based on a mixed test. EVs are backwards compared to ICE, you'll get ~20% less range than the EPA estimate driving highway speeds and ~20% more doing purely city driving.

I remember when top gear tested a Tesla and found the range they quoted to be wildly over estimates. Tesla lost the lawsuit.

Yeah ambient temperature dramatically affects the range of EVs. One time I took my Model 3 on a roadtrip and I had quite a bit of range left when I got to the hotel, but the next morning the temperature had plummeted and suddenly I had to make for the nearest charger instead of continuing on for a while. It's just something we have to get used to with EVs I guess.

Musk lied about something? Ooooh no, he's never done that before. /s

People who do business with tesla deserve what they get.

Did the YouTuber run the same type of test that the EPA would run?

I feel like every car I’ve ever owned has had worse milage than what’s on the sticker. But maybe I have a lead foot.

Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

It's only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

That's honestly way better than I expected. Based on everything else Musk has done recently, and the comedy of errors the Cybertruck has been, I expected 80% less

Wow, just like the cars!

As someone who bought one of their cars the only real positive is that the charging network is available 24 hours a day and very prominent across most of my travel routes.

Additionally, I would say wait out for this industry to get better since every single manufacturer of EV's is full of absolute horse shit in regards to range and safety, ESPECIALLY anything not coming from USA or Europe. Byd's are fucking death traps

What was the EPA rated highway range? The 320 mile range is the EPA combined city/highway which you won't hit doing entirely highway but you would beat doing entirely city.

Is this any different than EPA rated MPG listed on vehicles? Obviously their quoted range is an absolute best case scenario. Still fun to meme on the cyber truck though.

Who cares what some doofus YouTuber thinks?
