-417 Wh/mi, I guess it's true!

I've never noticed this before but you do get charging going down a mountain.

Haha! What was it on the way up!?

For comparison, the Lucid Air gets 5 miles per kWh.

So the Cyberbeast makes 600 Wh/m better than the Lucid Air?

Lucid Gravity is ~3.5 mi /(kW h)

Below: Cybertruck info from above ... to put them all in the same units for comparison.

I think the point of the original post was missed. It says NEGATIVE 417 Wh/m. That means is was charging. My average around town usage is a POSITIVE 320 Wh/m.

I don't think it was missed as case-in-point below since you use the ABS(417)*120% on the way up.

As well any of us driving EVs for a while have seen that negative kW for regen in many discussions.

Some were focusing on your average driving Wh/mi which actually was really low for a CT in general

This is one of the primary reasons why I love EVs so much. ICE vehicles, with their friction braking that generates massive heat and leaves friction material and iron dust all over your wheels and the roadway, just seems so barbaric compared to using magnetic fields to generate electricity while braking. No brake pads/discs to replace and no brake dust to breath.

Best of all, it's magical to watch that electric "tank" fill up as you descend. I've been driving EVs for 7 years and the magic of regen braking never gets old.
