All hail Cybertruck, the efficiency monster - 296 Wh/mi over 68.7 mile trip

[carsly]

The hotter it gets outside, and the more miles I get on this AWD Cybertruck, the better the efficiency gets. Brings my overall average, at just past 1,000 miles driven, down to 330 Wh/mi. Ambient temps in NJ today around 85 degrees, sunny as all get up, and super humid. No real elevantion changes outside of potholes, it is Jersey. Pretty steady traffic the entire way, lots of stop and go, and it was through morning rush half way.

I'm amazed, stunned, mystified, baffled and giddy about how efficient this luxury tank is - almost 3.4 miles/kWh! Not doing anything special with driving, I have no idea how to hypermile. Just running in Sport mode, as always.

Hail Cybertruck!

A for a 69 mile drive. That is one heck of a trip report.

First time I've ever seen anything sub 300 wh/mi on Cybertruck and it's a reasonable length run for me. Suspect I'll see something similar on the return so feel free to double it if that makes you feel better. Cut me a little slack, I only put 1,000 miles on in the first five weeks!

Damn...Im at 406 after like 3k miles. I drive 50% street and 50% freeway and pretty much at 75 mph but Ill be watching this to see how I can improve my efficiency without driving like my grnadma.

85 in NJ? It's a nice crisp 102 right now in South Jersey near Philly. I don't use cabin overheat protection, and my truck says it is 147 degrees inside

Dang, very freaking nice efficiency. Maybe I should switch to sport mode.

For those keeping score at home, the return was 333 Wh/mi. Car had been sitting in the sun for about 6 hours and the return trip was at 99-100 degree ambient temps with very high humidity. So that's 315 Wh/mi average over the 134 mile out and back trip (negating any elevation changes) over the same route on the same day.

Mine is North of 400. How do you drive?

Nothing special. This is my 3rd Tesla after a 2019 X and 2021 S. Cybertruck has a crap ton of momentum due to higher mass, perhaps obvious, so I find the biggest efficiency benefits come from trying to be very light on the pedal during longer sustained speed sections even letting speed drift down a few mph before bringing it back up and then managing one pedal braking distances by trying to slow down over a longer stretch which may (or may not) put more juice back into the battery as regen isn’t as spiky as letting it brake itself with full regen. Who knows? I’m always in Sport mode, so it’s definitely not that!

That’s amazing efficiency! Means you’re getting around 370 miles on full charge that too on AT tires without Wheel covers!!!

I hardly see sub 300 on MYP. My CT shows around 360-380 in city/freeway mixed, hot FL weather, AC running at 72 high!

Efficiency, smiciency!

Live your life and drive it like you stole it!

 

[JesseDGreat]

Well Im going to have to try sports mode then....I just assumed CHILL mode would be more efficient. I drive 70-75 and Im getting about 405-407 over 3,200 miles

Current drive is 68 miles and it took you 1 hour and 52 minutes? So your average speed was 36MPH. What am I missing-

So if I drive my AWD Cybertruck at an average speed of 36 MPH I can achieve a 333Watt/mile efficiency rate....

...or better. Yes, some higher speed sections averaged out with some traffic lights and stop signs. If I drove at no more than 35 miles per hour we'd easily be looking at sub-300 Wh/mi and an effective range of closer to 400 miles.
