I completed a 1900 mile road trip yesterday from Arizona to Illinois in my Cybertruck FS AWD.
My overall efficiency came to 432 Wh/mile driving an average of 70 mph between charging stops under mostly good driving conditions.
My total Supercharging costs came to $284.01 for 821 kWh ($0.15/mile). I started the trip with 80% SOC and had 24% left at my final destination.
I made 14 charging stops averaging 30 minutes/stop for a total of 7 hours charging at both V2 and V3 Superchargers. An additional charge was done overnight at a campsite.
At every stop people approached to inquire about the Cybertruck, ask to take a picture, and engage in conversation. This photo was taken at a Supercharger in Amarillo, TX where two other CTs arrived on their way from New York to California. The reaction of people was openly enthusiastic and 99% complementary of the vehicle. The level of interest increased in the Midwest where most people said that mine was the first CT they'd seen in real life. I often volunteered to take a picture of people standing in front of, or sitting behind the wheel of my truck. I remember only one person turning down the invitation. Most people, and all kids, had heard about the Cybertruck, but were not familiar with its many engineering features. It was amazing and encouraging to encounter such interest and excitement about a car. If you don't like to be the center of attention wherever you go, don't buy a Cybertruck just yet.
I drove the entire 1900 miles without the benefit of FSD. The longest driving stretch was 490 miles from Tulsa, OK to Springfield, IL. I was exhausted by the end of 10 hours of travel in contrast to having previously driven my FSD equipped Model Y twice that distance in 18 hours with minimal fatigue. The combination of FSD and making regular charging/rest stops takes 95% of the stress out of driving in my experience. I hope that FSD for the CT is released soon.
