Is Cyberbeast range really that much different than AWD?

Elon got you fam ! You got an AWD ……. It should be chill, standard , beast , custom, off-road. You got a AWD:Beast hybrid lol

lol! Yes, I don’t know why I keep calling Standard as Sports mode. It’s funny even the Tesla SC guy I was talking to asked whether I use Sports mode or Chill mode often. Probably because Standard mode powers all motors and gives sporty driving experience! Good catch, sir!

This dude has been patently wrong on multiple occasions, but hey... he's on YouTube so he must be right.

Agreed. That’s why I muted him and his constant nonsense.

Anecdotal ... These are averages from TeslaFI-COM for the DM and Tri on their range leader board (top 50 for each model). I was mainly paying attention to Wh/Mile.

my beast is at 460 lifetime / 12k miles - so that computes to me!

Now here's the thing, I generally agree that "low profile tires" that the youtuber insists are bad for the environment, are an aesthetic choice and generally terrible for the vehicle ride quality, it does not necessarily impact range in the way he was trying to insinuate. Rather its the fact that traditionally low profile / low aspect ratio wheels & tires typically are equipped with higher rolling resistance performance summer tires vs. all season eco tires that have been optimized for lower rolling resistances. That's where the real difference lies in the A component of the EPA dyno equation.

The physics of a torus means the low profile tires will start from a high rolling resistance position before you add on contact patch shape and tire compound.

That youtuber always starts from that basic physics basis to understand things - often to the detriment of looking at real world results.

But he is not wrong on this.

I’m at 424 lifetime over 12k miles, still with plenty of “I’m late for work” driving

Ok, now I know why I call it sports mode -
