My thoughts exactly, only way that is seems possible to get 340 right now is if they start on top of a mountain and regen break the whole way down going 40MPH.
I'm with you on this! I've driven my Prius (Hey, don't Judge) to do a water drop for a section of the Arizona Trail. Redington Road, East of Tucson. Scary rut conditions. And knowing how to align the tires for avoiding high centering was crucial. I'd do it in a heartbeat in a CT!
The only serious test and the person got 254 miles. Most are not getting 200 miles or less unless they drive 75/80 mph. Your posts are getting more and more ridiculous. You just repeat the same information over and over and over.
75/80mph is the speed limit in a decent amount of Truck Country though, why is this not a serious test? Do you not expect people to want to drive a truck at the speed limit for more than an hour or two??
If the 220 miles in the winter or 250 miles in the summer at 75/80, these even could be increased with more efficient tires, is not good enough for someone than they shouldn't buy it. Let them speak with their wallet.
I think you misunderstood me. I want to know what's the EPA highway range for CT. Not the blended. We know it S.B. lower. But what is that number. I see pretty experienced Tesla owners that have opinions. But if we had the EPA Hwy value, it would make these comparisons more meaningful.
There are a bunch of data sets that are all similar, so if that counts as repeating the same info.....ok.
There is no magic software fix. You drive 70 mph in cold weather you get 250 miles. Warm weather you get 275. Drive 75 mph, you get 225. The size of the battery capacity is given. Software can change charge rates, but the range is the range. There is no "fix" for range.
i continue to believe it's possible that Tesla is holding fire on various procedural advancements towards the Cybertruck being fully saleable in the U.S.
What we are saying is that the EPA blended number and even the EPA Highway number isn't calculated at 75 mphThere are a bunch of data sets that are all similar, so if that counts as repeating the same info.....ok.
And yea....... most of the country is 70-80MPH so if your saying you need to do 55mph in 60 degree weather to get over 200 miles I don't think that is based in reality.
As scottyah pointed out, no one is driving 55 on the highway..... so saying that driving 70 is "crazy and will kill the range" is not rational.
Almost ALL of these real world wh/mile results are showing a 200mile range vehicle, only real hope for 300+ is some MAJOR software oversight by tesla that is killing the range and charge rates, hopeful that both will be, or have already been fixed and we see significantly (like 30%+) better numbers in the next couple of days

I think it's odd that some people consider driving at the speed limit to be "bad driving" or "speeding." No, that's normal driving!75/80mph is the speed limit in a decent amount of Truck Country though, why is this not a serious test?

I wonder if they could they be waiting on the the change in battery chemistry that Joe Tegtmeyer was referencing in his tweet on Jan 3rd? An increase in battery storage of 5-10% would improve or meet EPA ranges. What if they went through the epa test and were dissatisfied enough to delay production. Now they are scrambling to fix things with some battery advancement. Just a theory…
What we are saying is that the EPA BLENDED number is nowhere near the real world results that are coming in. There are CTs now with over 6,500 miles on them giving a good blended/average/standard use case that are getting about 200-230 miles of real world range. These people are not driving 90 MPH in the city. This is a large average that is miles away from the reported 340/320/318/312/310 etc.
