Positive Range Report: 1000+ miles @ 280 miles average range, 440Wh/mi consumption - Houston, TX

[cvalue13]

Chill mode really doesn't impact your range that much. It slows the jack rabbit starts, but doesn't so anything once you are up to speed.

We just did a typical daily commute test and averaged 376 miles range. The drive was 25 miles, took 40 minutes, and we consumed 327 Wh/mi. The truck was on chill mode and most of the drive was around 65mph on the freeway.

How long you think they were ‘up to speed’ to average 37mph.

“Typical daily commute” seems like it involved enough accelerating, before and on the “freeway.”

probably a safety issue unless they ride the right lane the whole way

sounds like you’ve found a magic way to travel 65 safely!

Only necessary if it’s critical to making it to the next stop.

Rarely is.

And I'll be headed down to GPSTC in a couple of weeks. I'll be going probably 77 mph.
I'm expecting the Cybertruck to be able to match the Model 3 or Model Y. All numbers say so, so far.
Will I run out of range doing the trip, probably not, but I may spend a few minutes at one of the multiple chargers along the way, just so that I don't come home as empty.

All the number that I'm seeing so far are the same as the other vehicles, 60 mph gives you EPA, you drop 10% for every 5 mph faster. The Cybertruck it going to add about 100 wh/mile.

And none of that really matters, there's enough Superchargers along the route that the only way I run empty is my neglect. So whether I go 60 or 90, it doesn't really mean much. Just as a Hummer 1 (not EV) will make it across country, just at an astronomical prices.

I‘m hoping for the same, I’m not expecting range like my S, my wife’s Y would work. I am still thinking about my options, might get an X for the wife use that for trips, and a Cyber Truck for me. We use my S now for trips because of range, I have 3 kids (18/18/13) and the back can be tight, although they don’t complain. My twin boys are heading to college next year a truck would be nice to have.

Rumors of a 3rd gen too! (around the 6 minute mark)

has this clickbait doofus regained some credibility?

 

[Crissa]

I don’t think that’s the case. Positive to me is within the average usage. No one I’ve seen has beat the EPA numbers. I don’t think that’s necessary to be positive. I think these ridiculous out of the bell curve extreme limits tests are “negative” and clouding everyone’s expectations.

No one who's driving that much with a new car is doing average things.

I'm not really sure what "efficiency" is calculating because the longest range is where the wh/mi is the lowest, around 35 mph.

There is no 'longest range'.

There is a 'Mileage Recorded' which means in that temperature range there are this many miles of statistically sampled miles. The higher that number then the more statistically valid the other two columns are (Wh/mile & Efficiency%).

I thought the left column was speed, sorry, post deleted

OK, thanks.

TeslaFI does have a similar one for speed. Same statistical validity tho in that the more 'Miles Recorded' then the more valid the two middle columns are.

I feel like the highway speed miles would be the most steady and valid. The others speeds would include accelerating in that range. Just my gut feeling and what makes common sense to me.

Here it is:

I am so glad the range will not bother me at all, 99% of the time we never travel more than 200 miles from our home and if we decided we were in a hurry to get somewhere far away and going to drive 85-90 MPH I would definitely take a different vehicle, since we live within 13 miles of 2 major airports that I would uber to (because I don't like leaving any of my vehicles at the airport) the range is not that important to me as someone who is going to commute every day or travel across the country and I understand the concern about the range and possible anxiety it will cause.

This makes me realize why the EV market is hurting right now, because there are so many people in this country that actually buy a EV that doesn't fit their needs and end up regretting it when they realize it was a mistake and complain about how far it will go on a charge before stopping, every vehicle I have ever owned does not get the MPG's as advertised because of the way I drive and I am ok with that so when I finally do get my CT I will not be disappointed about something I already know about and expected since I reserved it over 4 years ago.

So, my thoughts are if you want to drive like grandma with the A/C and stereo off to get 340 mile range go for it! I am going to Crank-up my stereo, drive like a bat out a hell and have a blast with a smile on my face every time I get into my Cybertruck.

Keep your “0-60 in 4.1 second ant every stoplight” and your “I’m towing a parachute” range reports out of this thread. Let’s see some reasonable range reports.

Interesting 1000 miles report from Houston.

“
After 1,000 miles, our range has been much better than what some viral content has shown. We just did a typical daily commute test and averaged 376 miles range. The drive was 25 miles, took 40 minutes, and we consumed 327 Wh/mi. The truck was on chill mode and most of the drive was around 65mph on the freeway.

After 1,000 miles our average range has been about 280 miles with a consumption rate of 440Wh/mi. That has been mostly on standard acceleration mode.

The cost in electricity to go over 1,000 miles has been less than $100. We charge mostly at home with a rate of $0.15/kWh. A small 10% of our charging was free at a local movie theatre.

Just like any car, how you drive effects your energy consumption.

Thanks for the update!

Here it is:

I'm still not sure what the efficiency is.

And while this chart shows max range (i.e. inverse of Wh/mi) at 30-35 mph (which is to be expected), I really don't believe the remainder of the Wh/mi column. Decreasing range by less than 10% from 32 mph to 77 mph just isn't right.

Your confused. I explained it. It is for 1 car in given driving conditions / situations.

You are not thinking of real-world scenarios
vs
just driving around a track at a fixed speed on cruise control. WAY way way different.

I give up.

Sure, stick the vehicle at 35 mph and go straight, loo, or whatever and it will real-world get a huge range.
I mean isn't that what the table is saying? at 35 mph it has the lowest consumption?

And you still haven't explained what the "efficiency" column is. Is it maybe in relation to the EPA Blended number? It just doesn't make sense to me.

And also, if you are using 371 Wh/mi at 35 mph, there is no way that you are only using 392 Wh/mi at 75 mph, something isn't right.

The range of our 90d S is about 240mi 0 to 100% for the way I normally drive . I don’t want to go over 200 miles. We just did a 7600 mile road trip coast to coast and north to south. We passed up way more supercharger locations than we stopped at. The only place in the country where we arrived at a supercharger with as low as 10% was going from North Dakota down into Montana in 15Deg weather and snowing. The range of this truck is not going to be a problem for most people. I drive 90 way more than I drive 60.

You forgot these are recorded numbers.

So where he averages 35, he has more starts/stops/it's colder/using more heat or AC, more often with the lights on, preconditioning is running, etc.
