Shocking results: Cybertruck suspension heights effect on range

[ButterEV]

So I decided to test efficiency with the CyberTruck in different ride heights. I also did the same loop run with the Aero Covers on and with the tonneau open. I was shocked to see the results.

Aero covers do not matter as I had the same 373 wh/wi with them on and with them off.

Helpful! Thank you. I think I assumed some of this, but nice to see it by the numbers.

Are those just the original aero covers, or have you already received your replacements? Mine never came with them.

I appreciate the kind words. These are the originals

I just put on adjustable camber arms on my model x so I can default low setting without eating up my tires. Literally at the alignment shop right now.

How much does the camber change between settings on CT? Can it run low without eating up the tires?

The CyberTruck actually defaults to driving in low

We considered an X until my research revealed a lot of posts complained about eating through tires due to the factory suspension being wonky.

I understand the aftermarket sells suspension kits to address the problem.

So what was the shock? That the aero covers had so little effect? That has been reported elsewhere.

Yes, I thought there would be some type of benefit to having them on

Wow, I expected there to be a difference in efficiency between lower to the rest but did not realize how drastic is it. Plus the aero covers seems to make no difference.

I wish companies who make other styles of wheels for the CT makes and posts measurements like this.

Yea depends on the year but I paid 499 I belive to be able to Adjust the camber

Is there a very low?

No low is the lowest setting. There’s entry but it won’t let you drive in that setting
