Tesla Cybertruck CYBERTRUCK RWD HARD TONNEAU COVER — (FSD) REAL-WORLD INTERSTATE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OBSERVATION ~4,700-Mile Test 19839

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION
Observed real-world interstate data suggests the manual tonneau cover configuration may provide measurable reductions in highway-speed energy consumption on the Cybertruck RWD platform during sustained long-haul operation.
The observed ~9.84% reduction in average energy consumption across approximately 2,347 interstate miles appears sufficiently large to warrant additional controlled testing and broader owner dataset comparison.

Nice!

Was the elevation changes coming home the other direction from install a possible factor or did you already consider it?

Great pic! Love the look of the fabricated tonneau. Well done! 💪

Possibly. But I kept FSD as consistent as possible. (As in standard and chill) no max mode.

I will be posting a 3/6/9 month follow up afterwards

That lines up with the ~10% hit people report with powered vault cover.
