Cybertruck Range please answer below.

[Zane Edwards]

I drive a Cyberbeast FS with Goodyear off road tires with the hub caps and on 100% I get roughly 230-250 miles. After 3.2K miles driven please put exact model and range you guys get. Disappointed by the range wish they would have just done a 246 KWh battery pack. Also I feel like if they let us drive on entry mode on freeway it would give better range.

I would like to see if they ever tested freeway driving in entry mode. Would seem logical that range would improve and could be a straight forward software upgrade. Either way I would like this functionality

If you don't offroad then the Core wheels/tires might be a good option for you to consider. The Pirelli tires on the Core wheels are more energy efficient.

CB here in Beast mode 100% of the time for 9500 miles, 418 wh/mi avg. I recently switched it to chill mode for the first time ever and it does appear to give significantly more range at around 390 wh/mi. Who cares though? *pushes Beast Mode button*

Yeah I never off road mine and am looking for more efficient options for my next set of tires, are the Pirelli Scorpions the best option for efficiency ?

Have you considered one of these

 

[CyberGus]

I average 420 Wh/m

Elon would be proud

I think so, given these were designed by Tesla engineers in conjunction with Perelli and range was one of the leading design criteria

 

[CyberGus]

Still pretty good ?‍

Here are some TeslaMate projections from my beast. (I didn't have TeslaMate installed for a few months when I first got it):

If you think Tesla hasn't already explored the impact of different ride heights on efficiency, then you don't understand how Tesla does things.

What makes a bigger difference to efficiency than the exact ride height is the exact attitude of the vehicle (front to rear). That's the biggest advantage of having a suspension that can automatically adjust the front and rear differently, depending upon front/rear load bias.

On my F-150 with steel springs I got my best highway mileage with about 600-800 lbs. in the bed. Fuel economy sucked when the bed was empty. On the Cybertruck my payload barely impacts highway range.

After over a year, I have only lost 1 mile of the original 318 miles with the Goodyear All Terrain tires that came with FS Cybertrucks. I will get the EPA rated range if I travel on smooth highways (not rough chipseal) at around 60 mph.

So are you saying that Tesla explored it and it does lower (in any degree of attitude) below low level at highway speeds? I am clear that it has load leveling.

Turn it the other sideways!

Entry level completely collapses the nitrogen filled air springs. If it could reasonably be driven at entry level, Tesla would enable it.

The next level up is "Low" and it gives the suspension enough compression travel to drive at freeway speeds. This is the most aerodynamic level that is still safe and comfortable to drive in.

My point earlier was that Tesla is all about optimizing efficiency and the height of the adjustable suspension is the easy pickings (and they would have already provided the most optium level that was practical to actually drive in).

Are you worried?

If you wanna play with the big dogs you have to be able to run in the tall grass!
