Cybertruck owners uses it to perform gas station leak checks, saving him $30K in fuel costs per year

[PATEL]

I had to stop and ask what’s going on here. He works for Santa Clara county to do gas station leak checks. Cybertruck saves him $30K in fuel costs per year versus a standard utility truck. And he loves the 110V plug in back instead of hauling a generator.

You mean the cybertruck serves a purpose? I cannot believe..

$30k a year in annual fuel costs is crazy high.

Not as crazy high as your Cybertruck in your profile photo!

im impressed that he has those x2 50 lb welding gas tanks attached to the L track. Id love to see that mount up close.

Not to mention that awning setup!

If he is saving $30k in fuel costs in a year, the savings on other maintenance(oil changes etc) and time spent on that maintenance and time wasted fueling an ICE truck probably add another 10-15% on top of that.

This is such a great use case for the CT!

I question his calculations...Is he ignoring the electric needed to charge the truck? Figuring $2.80 a gallon and 10 MPG, very conservatively, $30,000 means he drives 100,000 miles a year?

EIA shows CA gasoline prices being over $4/gallon.

They are strapped to the bed anchors on a metal skid.

He also indicated the need for a generator, which he no longer requires thanks to Powershare. I'm sure that was included in the fuel costs.

$2.80 a gallon?
Come see us in CA where people pay over $5.00 a gallon. Where I live in So Cal. Tesla's seem like they are nearly 50% of the cars on the roads.
