I have to say when I reserved my 500 mile range Tri-Motor back in Nov 2019, I did so because of the range (I already had a reservation in for a 400 mile Rivian R1T March 2019).
That was the big draw. Tesla was offering 500 miles of range. More than the Rivian. Now, 4+ years later if...
Who drives at 31 mph?
My assumption from the various folks doing tests, like Kyle, is that REAL WORLD is less than 250 miles because who leaves the house at 100% and then runs it to 0.0%? No one.
So, usable is gotta be about 225 miles? Maybe 200 miles depending on where the next DCFC is...
IMO $100,000 would be fine....if you had 440-450 miles of range (without an extender taking up the bed), dual motor, 11,000lbs towing, and faster charging speed. Hopefully you can charge at home most of the time, but you will be taking it on trips at some point where you will need to charge at...
Gosh dang it. $465/mo for insurance. Wow.
Having a reservation since Nov 2019 for the 500 mile range Cybertruck, it is more and more disappointing to hear/see the low range of the CT.
Also disappointing to "hear" the road noise complaints. I currently drive a Ford Lightning, while...
Interesting.
Rivian really did a nice job designing their R1T. And it came out several years before the Cybertruck.
Competition is good. Maybe Tesla will learn some tips from Rivian, and implement those into the 2025 CyberTruck.
As a November 2019 reservation holder, thinking I won't be able to finalize an order until mid 2025 seems crazy. Glad I didn't hold off on my other vehicle purchases over the last 4 years.
Maybe the upside is all the "bugs" will be out of the CT by mid 2025. And maybe the range will be...
Or at least for all of 2024.
I hear various predictions on how many Cybertrucks will be built in 2024, many estimates are on the low end, and if Tesla only builds say 50,000+units for the year, it could be very possible they go thru the reservation list offering just the FS $$$ model.
Want...
Good point.
Ford doesn't get enough credit for beating the Cybertruck to market by 2 years....and with 320 miles of range, and based on actual owner reviews the truck has been very well received.
Gen 2 of the Lightning, especially if Ford can find a way to build it and sell it for about...
I don't mind paying up to about $85,000 for the Cybertruck, with options, plus the locked in FSD price I have.
But IMO the demand for $100,000+ vehicles is very finite. I know a lot of people that own their own businesses, do very well, can afford the price, but they don't want to pay that...
If you don't already own the Airstream, hell, buy an RV. You will get better range :ROFLMAO:
Seriously though, the Cybertruck is a cool, hi-tech vehicle, but it is not one size fits all.
Most likely if you need to tow more than 40-50 miles, the best solution is an ICE truck.
You can get a...
So the MBAs (which I am not sure Tesla even has) said:
Announce the Cybertruck, promise a LR long range of 500 miles with 3 motors for $69,000
but when we come out with the vehicle, after several years of delays, let's price the longest range at $79,000, only give it 2 motors and 254 miles of...
I have had EVs for years now, so I get the whole charging curve and the sweet spot.
The issue is MANY people don't want to do the mental gymnastics of SoC, %, kWhs, spreadsheet, graphs, etc. And some just can't figure it out, and they don't have a World Rally Car co-pilot with an iPad...
I own quite a bit of $TSLA and am cheering for Tesla, however, it is disappointing to have reserved a 500 mile variant of the Cybertruck in November 2019, and now 4+ years later we find the best the brand new, super high tech Cybertruck can do is 254 miles from 100% to 0% in terms of range.
It...
Aaah, long charge times will not be great, but that is more of a nuisance, as opposed to trying to make it across the middle of Pennsylvania going North and South and the Charging stations are 220 miles apart. Sigh.
180 miles? Yikes.
When reserving the 500 mile range variant Cybertruck in November 2019, I would have never guessed over 4 years later we would be talking under 200 miles for a typical charger to charger trip. Grrrrr.
This is TERRIBLE news. That is awful range.
That is going from 100% to 0% and all you get is 254 miles of range?
If you go from 90% to 20% what are going to be able to travel? 200 miles.
So disappointing.
