  1. Cybertruck hauling 1800lbs of drywall!

    Cool to see. Admittedly, even with my 3/4 ton...I'd have picked up that load with a utility trailer. I have airbag assist for my rear axles so the load isn't the issue. Mainly because don't want forklifts putting anything other than pallets in the bed. So many things can get messed up by a...
  2. Foundation Series Remorse

    For highway driving at 70 mph, the CT is about 495 Wh/mile. That is using the AT tires. If you use abetterrouteplanner (ABRP), it's reference consumption is @65 mph. For the CT, I modified it to be 450 Wh/mile @65mph. That matches up to the Out of Spec Reviews highway test very close. From...
  3. Tires: All-new Toyo Open Country A/T III EV targeting Cybertruck (and other EV pickups)

    If Toyo is coming out with these, does that mean Nitto will start making an EV specific tire? They are sister companies. Nitto Ridgegrappler is what I have on my Ram 2500 right now. They wear pretty well, but I'd bet for the CT you'd want something like a hybrid all-terrain. Street type...
  4. Out of Spec Kyle's first Cybertruck driving impressions review -- City, Highway, & Performance Evaluation

    Yeah. Hope the vibration thing is an anomaly. Anyone that has ever been in a top tier Rivian would agree. It is like a high tech version of a ram limited edition. Very high quality.
  5. Cybertruck Highway Range Test (Dual-Motor AWD) -- Run Until Battery Empty (by Out Of Spec)

    I get what you are saying...no one gets a 3/4 ton diesel to be the best offroader. Too heavy, too big to hit dedicated off road trails at the same performance as say a tacoma. I need whatever BEV truck I end up with in a couple years to be like my 3/4 ton diesel that I put an off-road...
  6. Cybertruck Highway Range Test (Dual-Motor AWD) -- Run Until Battery Empty (by Out Of Spec)

    Kyle Conner (out of spec) just finished doing a podcast collaboration with the Batteries Included Podcast. I have watched enough of Kyle's videos to trust his statements, because he does try to just lay out the facts and present them on as even a playing field as possible. As of that podcast...
  7. Cybertruck Range: Losing the Story

    I'm not talking towing an RV trailer. I'm talking towing a 1 or 2 axle light duty utility trailer. I see 1/2 ton trucks doing that all the time. Going out to my hunting property, I see half the trucks that neighbors have that are bringing feed are half ton trucks. The other half are 3/4 ton...
  8. Cybertruck Range: Losing the Story

    I accept your apology and I do owe you one. You are right. I responded in a mean and not constructive manner. I was getting irritated at a bunch of the fanboys/apologists defending beyond all reason the disappointing range numbers and what appears to be (so far) quite disappointing charging...
  9. Cybertruck Highway Range Test (Dual-Motor AWD) -- Run Until Battery Empty (by Out Of Spec)

    I agree with everything you stated above. I've said similar on multiple threads. I think Tesla took a calculated risk and decided it was better to provide an EV mall crawler truck that is very tough and has a lot of capability, just not range to service rural customers or people that would be...
  10. Cybertruck Highway Range Test (Dual-Motor AWD) -- Run Until Battery Empty (by Out Of Spec)

    This test pretty much confirms to me that ABRP app is pretty spot on with its trip estimates. If Tesla can figure out how to get that battery up to 175kWhr without taking up bed space or adding significant weight in the next several years then the CT would be very useable for what I need it to...
  11. Cybertruck Range: Losing the Story

    Please don't take this as an insult, but you are obviously not an experienced or informed truck person. A Ram 2500, Ford F250, etc. is a 3/4 ton truck. A Ram 3500 or Ford F350 is a 1 ton truck. A Ram 1500 or F150 is a half ton truck. That is the terminology. Most of my buddies have either...
  12. Cybertruck Range: Losing the Story

    False. The silverado is lower drag coefficient than the cybertruck: "The EV's futuristic design contributes to a slippery drag coefficient of 0.33, making it the most aerodynamic GM truck extant, but there's no mistaking this rig for anything but a Silverado." For those not paying attention...
  13. Range for AWD Cybertruck after many real world tests

    I wish that people would think it out a bit more before some of these recommendations. Your suggestions amount to actually driving hours out of the way for a 3 hour leg of a journey or finding an rv park to wait for several hours before moving on. It’s comical. I’m a huge advocate for an ev...
  14. Range for AWD Cybertruck after many real world tests

    I am only disappointed in the stated and reported range of the cyber truck. Was counting on 500 mile epa range to make it possible to drive to a destination 200 miles away and charge it overnight. I put in my reservation because I live in rural Texas and make rural trips often. I was again...
  15. Actual Off-Road Testing: climbing & descending (@ Hollister Hill RSVA - 10/23/23)

    All I really want is to be able to use the CT like my Ram Diesel 4WD. That means I can put it in 4wd high with traction control on by default. I want the ability to turn traction control off, because steep incline, caliche, rocky, or deep dirt roads with or without heavy rain will quickly show...
  16. Official Reveal: 2024 Ram 1500 Revolution EV Pickup Truck Concept ⚡️🐏

    I saw the TFL guys do an extensive walk thru on youtube. It's obviously a concept and things are likely to change, but they have placed a bunch of cool ideas into this truck. The versatility of the tailgate and bed is something to keep an eye on. They didn't state it as much, but it looks...
  17. Tester Cybertruck Prototype Spotted on a Tow Truck!

    If I had to take a guess, I would say the tires are Goodyear wrangler territory RT or MT tires. Goodyear did the custom tires for the prototype that sidewall matched the hubcaps. This sidewall looks like it might match the wranger territory.
  18. Elon Says Final Cybertruck Design is Now Locked! Updated Production Timeline = Mid-2023

    Let's hope the CT is more performant in all categories...that means more range and efficiency, which I really want. I was just using the R1T, which is more the size of a Tacoma as a benchmark. The CT from all accounts is larger than the CT in width. I'm not sure about height. I will be very...
  19. Elon Says Final Cybertruck Design is Now Locked! Updated Production Timeline = Mid-2023

    Out of Spec Reviews Youtube channel did highway speed loop tests on range for both Rivian and Ford. I believe they were in the 2mi/kwh range. To be exact, Rivian R1T was 2.15 mi/kwh on that test. The R1T is smaller than the CT, but let's assume the CT will get the same 2.15 mi/kwh on the...
  20. New Silverado videos / email update. Still know nothing about the CT....

    One thing to keep in mind, though is that Chevy has put out a lot of material and produced a pretty show model. They haven't done any videos showing a true working prototype. All the video of the silverado in motion are CG, and they don't even let people other than GM lift and raise the...
