Cybertruck Highway Range Test (Dual-Motor AWD) -- Run Until Battery Empty (by Out Of Spec)

[Woodrick]

That may be true, I hope so. That may be the fleet page, here's the standard page

It's a little disconcerting that they only got out 443 in Q4, that's in the neighberhood of what the Cybertruck did in December.

Are they just that slow in producing them? I hope that's not the demand. I'm still having problems finding current pricing.
Okay, I did just see the 450 in the work trucks section

But I still can't see their current prices.

Platte Clay Electric Coop is my provider, however, the main provider - Evergy - just announced time based rates to go into effect this year inside of KC Metro area. They were also on a fixed rate 24/7.

I'm outside of KC, MO.

If you are thinking of switching to TOU rate, think hard first.
Just because an EV is cheaper to charging in late evening rates, doesn't mean that your bill is going down. Many people have see where EVs end up being about $30 on their electric bill.

The TOU rates are going to often make that 4-7PM air conditioning a LOT more expensive.

I am out as well. Its real world range will not allow me to practically drive from Houston to NW Arkansas (there is a 203 mile gap in SCs between Denison and Fort Smith which means an hour plus at Denison charging to 95% in the hopes of making it). I am hoping that I can just defer the purchase and not have to cancel entirely.

I can't wait to see someone tear the battery pack open. If it's stuffed full with 4680's, I agree with everyone else that this is terrible and pretty disappointing. They will have to figure out a way to double stack the pack if they still want to sell this thing in 3-4 years.

That would mean the total weight of the vehicle would be well over 10,000 pounds. That would probably mean re-designing the suspension and heavier, higher pressure tires, too. And all that extra weight will significantly diminish the efficiency.

It is too bad that they could not meet their touted specs. I reserved my tri-motor because the promised 500+ mile range mostly mitigated the myriad problems that decimate the real EV battery range: freeway speed (often much higher than a mere 70 MPH), temperature (often much colder than 45 F which is actually very mild), payload weight, towing (cutting the actual range in half), hills, headwinds, the mere 60% (from an 80% charge down to a 20% charge) of battery capacity usage that is actually recommended , etc.

I hope they will do another CT test driving 80 MPH at an ambient temperature of 25 F, so we can get a better picture of real world conditions I might face.

I expect in the end, I will have to cancel my CT reservation. The price is way too high and the range is way too low.

Sorry to see you go, but you'll make a lot of people happier when they skip up one place in line.

And the line will always be open when you come back.

As more and more people learn about the results of this test, the line will be shortening very quickly.

 

[Woodrick]

i'm talking especially of Ford

you just cited the same sort of anecdotal claptrap about Lightning range that you're here on this forum defending against RE the CT, at a rate of 60 comments a day

Ford Lightning ER blended is 320, city 350, and hwy 283

driven mindfully, it does that or better, consistently

so yeah, about what CT (on all season tires) is EPA predicted to get, exactly

I was quoting numbers that members on this site have gotten.

Can you please inform us of the numbers that you are getting.
Give me more data points to prove me wrong.

Also, have you seen the Cybertruck's individual City and Highway number yet, I don't think I have.

As more and more people learn about the results of this test, the line will be shortening very quickly.

And I suspect that as the customer vehicles hit the road, the line will start growing again.

Which is exactly what everyone currently in line wants, to be pushed forward!

what am I proving wrong? You once again still haven’t said anything of substance?

I don’t need to do anything for you. It’s all here and been discussed at length previously

you’re like the guy who shows up late to a birthday party and demands everyone to sing happy birthday again

 

[Woodrick]

Thanks, that what I had kinda come to the conclusion of.
As with ANYTHING related to EVs, it will only be real once it is in production.

Not saying anything about the Silverado here, but wild and whimsical seems to be the norm. And amazingly Toyota is at the head of the fantasy world right now.

Could you please be as kind and repost your numbers then?

Or give me a search term that heads directly to it?
Or even give me a date that you posted it?

I would think that this would be a simple task for you to prove me wrong.

again, “prove you wrong” about what

you haven’t said anything substantive needing address

 

[Jon Snow]

The 320 already has the deduct for the AT tires. The Road tires are rated at 340. Rivian on AT at the 70 mph range test actually achieves it EPA range.

Why lie? Facts are easy to google. You just make yourself look dumb.

The first line is what I'm referring to. Give me some more numbers so that I can add to the reported numbers that I have gotten from members of this site. I thought that it was a pretty simple ask.

Or should I assume that at 50 degrees highway driving at 70 mph that you are getting 283 miles or better, consistently?

Which would then be only 30 more miles than Kyle's test? Are you telling me that the Cybertruck and the Lightning within 11% of each other?

All I'm asking for are your range numbers

Why lie? Facts are easy to google. You just make yourself look dumb.

When you Google things and cannot understand what you read, "you just make yourself look dumb."

EPA Highway range for the Rivian R1T 2023 Model with 20" AT tires is what, anyone, anyone, let's check....

289 miles

Inside EVs Range Test
"The Rivian R1T tested by Kyle Conner was equipped with 20" all-terrain tires, which means that even a result of 10-15% below EPA would be in line with guidelines.

Results
The test result is very positive because the R1T was able to cover 289.3 miles (465.5 km)."

Which should be more useful than the other anecdotal reports you’ve collected around here, purportedly

useful as it is, it’s still not exactly relevant to a compare of Kyle’s range test

but if you must know, at highway speeds i easily get 2.44mi/kWh, which is better than the EPA hey rating of 2.16mi/kWh

to which you say “but it’s hot” which is true

but it’s also south texas in summer, which is dry - which increases air resistance compared to anywhere I assume Kyle is testing north of here this time of year

but my truck isn’t on 35” ATs at highway speeds


and after several years active on Lightning forum, if we’re comparing anecdotal evidence, people who understand BEV trucks consistently get at or over EPA hwy rated figures for mi/kWh
