Cybertruck Aerodynamics / Drag Coefficient Cd analysis by computational fluid dynamics expert

[HaulingAss]

But as you said, I do want to make the most of it. I'd rather drive 75mph. I don't like the look of the aero caps. I like to leave the roof mounts on.
I will often accept less range in exchange for something else.

And that's what Tesla had to decide with the Cybertruck. They could have given it 500 miles @ 75 mph range. It would raise the base price of the vehicle significantly, and remove some storage or increase the size so that it doesn't fit in many garages.

I'm guessing that you may have been able to lighten your luggage some on your fateful trip, but it was your trade-off that it wouldn't make that big of a difference.

If you want to talk handicap, I believe that you mentioned that you started at 57% SoC. You intentionally handicapped your trip, by a large number. You decided that 90 miles was no big deal.

I mean was it smart to start a trip at less than max at 5 degrees? Many would not have done that in their ICE.

I had a trip that morning too, before I left home so I only added a few percent before I left home. I did not purposefully handicap my trip.
