Cybertruck ends up getting 334 vs 340 EPA estimate. This is the dual motor version. For comparison the Rivian R1T Dual motor got 390 in the same test. Also interestingly the Cybertruck took 147 kwh of juice to charge back up to 100 after.

We look forward to spending more time with the Tesla Cybertruck as we figure out its actual purpose in the current automotive landscape.

Quite a conundrum indeed.

I call BS on this. It goes against every other observation out there

Edmunds says they aim to average 40 mph on their test. I don't find their testing to be useful because I don't really care about what the vehicle can do with that as an average. Needs to be 70/75/80 mph for me to find it useful.

Their testing isn't as useful for real world range but it is useful as a comparison tool since they do the same for each. Big take away from this is that the dual motor cybertruck gets 15% less range than the dual motor R1T

I guess that could be useful to some people. I really only care about the bigger range number for taking highway trips. City efficiency in testing could cause that to deviate positively or negatively depending on the conditions, which is why I don't take a lot of stock in their testing.

Good to know Rivian is the most efficient albeit by tiny margin. The results will likely change with software updates, tire changes as well as rumored CT’s drive train upgrades. As long as it gets 300+ miles, all will be good enough unless you are towing.

This 40mpg average test is useful since Lot of suburban driving is around this speed. Fair to have several range test results.

what about the hollow tip test?
