Range for AWD Cybertruck 200-250 miles after many real world tests

[Mattsplat]

Yup Model 3 I drove with like 10k miles on it had advertised 330 and it ended up being closer to 300 or 310, no big deal. But if CT goes from 340 to 170 that will be a dream crusher, and make it impossible to tow anything.

Someone tried towing and it didn't even get 90 miles. I think they said they only charged to 75% though. Most of us charge to 80% Still, that is horrible. I don't need to tow but I was supposed to be getting a Tri-motor with 500 miles and now I have a FS dual (to get the best range possible) and I wish I hadn't wasted the $1000 on the deposit. My MODEL Y depreciated $34k in 13 months and a rip-off to trade in or sell now. Thanks, Tesla.

Not sure what one does "working other Tesla forums" but as everyone other than 5 members of this forum is a perspective CT owner. I would think that as many of us you joined this forum VERY recently you would be more open and interested in new CT data, to interpret how you will.

No hard feelings, it is just a little wild when someone replies to THAT many of your comments claiming blasphemy when all I have done is report info that has not been posted on yet.
If this forum is to consist only of first hand information about the cybertruck it would have about 3 posts on it, so until I get mine posting some second hand information and wading through what others post is about the only option many of us have.

Only one or two of your postings have been without your often incorrect commentary.

"Working other forums" mean that I have been helping other Tesla users and putting up with distractors for years. Reading and answering has allowed me to learn a lot and play that knowledge forward, helping others. And yes, we were talking Cybertruck before this forum was created.

Shall I remind you of the title of this thread "178.5 miles of range for AWD Cybertruck after many real world tests"

Shall I remind you of who created the thread? And how even the first post was met with the questionable accuracy of it? And how it just about scared one person out of getting a truck?

People come to forums like this to find the truthful good and bad information about a product. They often leave, because of the cesspools of incorrect information that is posted.

And of course, social media comes to these forums to suck up the most controversial statements.

In other words, sure, you may be the #1 person that I quote. That really says a lot about your information.

it actually says a lot about both of your information sets

For every instance his gloss is irrationally negative, yours is irrationally positive


yall are like the two-man instantiation of $TSLAQ and $TSLA on xwitter

irony being that $TSLAQ and $TSLA camps both the exact same personality types, and same brand of errors - only difference being having chosen a different “team” to root for

Somewhere between y’all’s respective information sets is the substantive part

Would say that is mostly fair.
Vast majority of my posts have been data points gather that were not posted here yet, and my subsequent reaction to them which for the most part has been disappointment when it comes to range.
My only argument with your breakdown is I have provided data where the other party involved has provided almost no new data and just replied with the equivalent of "u dumb, Tesla great"

I am team CT, and an early reservation holder. But nothing says you can't be disappointed in an aspect of your team's performance.

I generally agree

but an entirely separate matter is: does one express their disappointment in the most productive or persuasive way


I’m the last here to get too close to calling the kettle black.

my prior post to you, RE ‘negative feedback loop,” was rooted in personal experience and ‘do as I say not as I do’

If irrational is telling the truth, then I am indeed irrational.

no, you’re irrational for thinking you come off as someone who prioritizes truth

you come off as NO less blinded by bias

A cheerleader, not a commentator

fine to be a cheerleader.

but a cheerleader insisting they’re a commentator?

Aside from a few mistakes (most of which I hopefully acknowledged and maybe even deleted the posts), when have my facts and suggestions been off?

Yes, I have a bias for Tesla. No, I'm not going to allow disinformation to be published without comment.

correction: “disinformation that reflects poorly on Tesla”

there’s a different brand of disin you have less interest in

That’s the nature of bias.

No, that's not the case. I can tell you and I will quickly admit where Tesla's shortcomings are.

If you want to say that a Tesla is a lousy hauler, as I have already done. In many cases you will be correct, especially when it comes to longer distance in areas without many Superchargers.
But around the house and in areas with a lot of Superchargers, the truck may be an excellent match for your needs.
For the bass fisherman on their local lake. The Tesla traction control along with the unbridled power of the EV can pull just about anything out of the water easily. Be careful, if you floor it, you may find that that you yanked the trailer out from under the boat.

The car won't meet it's stated range of 320 miles. If you are referring to going 75mph on an Interstate, then you are correct, slow it down to about 60 mph and you will see that range as a possibility.

A Tesla requires no maintenance.
Depending on the vehicle, this will vary. The Model 3 and the Model Y have no scheduled maintenance until the 2nd year, which is mostly change the cabin air filter. Sure, there's a few others.

A Tesla goes through tires quickly.
If this is your first Tesla and first set of tires, then absolutely. But if you reduce the weight of your foot, then it will get closer to the expected range.

Tesla Customer service sucks.
Well, if you are expecting to talk to a person to do everything, then you are going to have a bad experience. Tesla is a modern technology company and your kids may be able to talk to Tesla easier than you can. Tesla uses their app to do most communication with the customer.

Now, if you want me to defend miscommunications about the Lightning, I'm not going to be as forthcoming, because I really don't have a large cache about that vehicle yet, but it is growing. And many of the same objections about an Tesla are actually EV objections and they are then really similar.
A Silverado EV is a different thing though. Until a vehicle (or for tht case ANYTHING EV related) is in production, I consider it BS and all statements about it are questionable. Want to know how many "This battery technology is going to change the world" stories I have heard?

Towing with the current range #s will require some planning.
It will be possible in a lot of areas of the country with the range extender, the range extender does also extend charging times but may be the only option for those wishing to haul outside of town.
West half of the US distance/range between superchargers may be tough even with the range extender, much better on the East coast and Eastern half of the US.

East coast and half of the US has way more SCs making getting from one SC to another no problem, especially with range extender.

You do understand that these posts are basically gibberish, right?

Using the current wh/mile rates in one of the most widely used EV route planners may seem like gibberish if you are unfamiliar.
With an EV there are some routes that require planning unlike jumping in an ICE vehicle and just looking for the next gas station when your gas light comes on.

So taking 3 minutes to route a 1,000 mile trip is called planning?

Of just jumping in the car and say "Navigate to Los Angelos" is planning?

I certainly hope that on any of those trips that you posted, that there was a lot more planning, even in an ICE, than just the route.

Again, news to you, not to me, and the new user doesn't understand, aka jibberish.

 

[WormtownKris]

As a couple of real-world data points, the first actual owner on this forum, @susu2142 has posted their data from a couple of drives. 440 Wh/m and 419 Wh/m. Will be amusing to watch this data get absorbed into this thread, (or ignored). ?
