So much this.

I keep seeing people tacking things onto their fantasy trucks and that stuff is going to kill range. Going naked is the best way to get the quoted range.

Related, drive like a granny. Going 70 MPH is great when you have a Supercharger ahead, cruising along at a leisurely 50MPH will be frustrating, but save you a fair bit of time waiting for the truck to charge up later. Trebly so on climbs.

That's probably way far out for you, but every % you don't burn while driving saves you time charging.
Agreed true.

OP is bagging mountain passes, abandoned rail beds, tunnels, dirt roads and a water cross now and then. He’ll ferry to AK disembark and head for Denali. TikTok will eat up his posts from Cybertruck. LOL

He’s going to spend 2 yrs. in shakedown Mt Hood, Eastern WA deserts to Oregon finding CT weaknesses. Then take his kit across border into Vancouver to stretch its limits before loading out to AK.

Neither speed nor aerodynamics rank as high as his backup gen., camper kit and offroad kit. Logistics will eat up aero/ charging efficiency gains at the end of the day.

My hope is the solar setup is legit and running empty simply means taking a couple down days with the solar wings spread out in the open sun.
