So it took 254 miles of range to go 216 actual miles. Thinking about my model Y the Truck did better than my Y does on the freeway. I do not drive at 70mph, but it seems to do better at least comparing it to this trip. Cheers.
1:13 It's called not succumbing to peer pressure... I've done a roadtrip from California to Florida and back in my Model Y going 55-60mph the whole way except on roads where there were single lanes where people couldn't get around, and then on the way back from Texas to California I did 80-90 the whole way. There is no reason to go the same speed as others that are speeding. At the slower speeds I got 180-240 wh/mi and at the higher speeds I got 350-460+wh/mi. That's nearly double the energy used as well as a lot more stress on the tires, motors, risk of rock chips, more bug splatter, etc. We all decide what is worth more to us. Those higher speeds have a lot of downsides.
Great vid. I get you wanted to eat lunch, but I think charge to 65-70% and go to next charger from as low as possible will be faster. Nice to see good range.
It was a 6 hour drive so I definitely needed to eat and take a break. Unfortunately the fast food restaurant was packed and took so long to get us our food. Otherwise I would've charged to 60-70%. Thanks for the watch and comment 😁
The steering is amazing!!! The wheel didn’t move at all to stay straight on the highway!! Absolutely amazing, smooth as silk. It’s so quiet in the cabin.
@@Butter_EV I've had brake failure and steering failure but never at the same time. Both were scary to say the least . Both at once had to be really scary .
I've done 6 road trips of 1450 to 1670 miles with my Model Y and find that it's very relaxing and not much slower than a gas Suv. Charging has never been a problem and get out and walking every 3 plus hours is great and the Charging average is 25 minutes. If you figure the time I save not getting gas at home 2 times a week and never getting oil changes I save many hours each year. Plus home charging costs $7 or less for 200 plus miles and never standing outside in Michigan winters watching my gas fillup is awesome.
Cars still need maintenance, brakes need to be serviced regular, they corrode up, basically from lack of use. It also has suspension parts that wear out like any other car.
Thank you for this video of your Cybertruck! Very informative and professionally done! I plan on buying a used Cybertruck in about 10 years and driving it across the USA from coast to coast! Your video gives me extreme hope!!!
Great video, thanks. And I dug the music choice too 🤓 Seems one could avoid the long charge times by targeting 80% but with more stops. Either way, your video showed real numbers that should, again, relieve range anxiety, the myth perpetrated by the oil industry 🤷♂️
Thank you for the kind words. I am happy that you understand exactly the point of the video. If Carls Jr didn’t take so long 😒 I would’ve only charged to 80% and saved myself some time
This is with the best weather one can think of. I don't know how much air con you used but if none that might help. I can see going in to phoenix during heat and plunging battery conditions. I don't know how much you prepared the battery for charging either.
The batteries auto precondition as you get closer to a supercharger, which is really nice. As far as the heat I plan on doing another Arizona trip come summer time to show those stats. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice vid! Finally someone who is producing some content that shows what the cyber T is capable of when you’re not driving it floored all the time and doing 0 to 60 launches at every other stop sign ….I see videos of people complaining about the range and they are romping on the accelerator so hard
Yeah I hate Tesla pricing. Especially when Tesla doesn't give you everything you paid for, like FSD and Acceleration Boost. My $75,000 2022 Model 3 feels and drives like a $30,000 economy car. Absolutely pathetic that it cost this much................................
I've yet to have to wait on my car. We either get a coffee, let the kids run, or grab dinner depending on what the state of the car is at. Maybe because I'm used to flight planning but it's something I always keep in mind.
Nice vid. Wanted to note going east on I-10 to PHX you're going up in elevation. However, you're likely going with a tailwind so that helps with efficiency. Coming back west you should get better efficiency but that kinda depends on the wind as well.
Tesla should just leave the rear space behind the chargers empty to allow you to pull next to the curb on the oposite side of the regular parking spots. I did that in several superchargers while towing and it worked GREAT... and no need for special pull thru charging locations.
The flow of traffic determines the speed you cruise at? Did “they” tell you it’s required? I travel at 65 mph on an Ioniq 5 and it’s the efficiency that I am concerned not the speed of others. Drive at the speed U have determined is best .
Great video thanks... we live in so cal and have a place in Havasu ( 236 miles away ) and I was wondering with the up's and downs of I10 if you think we'd make it on a full charge even during the summer. Can you also in the future do a video on if the driving speed is faster and what that does to your mileage because as you know sometimes people may drive a bit faster ( of course i never would ) because i haven't seen that anywhere. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! I can definitely do this trip again at higher speeds. I'm sure I will be visiting AZ again in a few months. In regards to Havasu you should be fine getting there without charging. If you have to stop it'll be a 10-20 min stop. Might be a good test for me to do 😉
@@Butter_EV I’d love to see that one. I’ve had one of the trucks in order for about a year and a half maybe two years now and I live about 3/4 of a mile away from a tesla service center and I’m starting to see them they’re being picked up by new customers
Maybe we should collaborate on a YT video. I seen your channel features your Jeep off-roading and I've been dying to take the CT off road but I don't have much experience doing so. Let me know if this is of interest? Maybe we do a range test to Havasu as well 🤷🏻♂️
Also, if you could make sure you mention who your insurance carrier is, that would be helpful. I haven’t even checked with my carrier to find out how much cyber truck insurance is. Good luck with the channel.
Hey, really sorry to hear about your cyber truck, but if you hadn’t had the accident, you wouldn’t have gotten me as a subscriber. I probably would’ve listened to it and gone onto the next one but since you took a bullet for the cyber truck community you got my subscription and my thumbs up. I think if you do a whole series on the Repair experience and teach others that haven’t gone through it what you encounter tips and tricks and lessons learned that would be a great episode. Probably get a lot of hits.
@@Butter_EV thanks u so much! Love that u using Tessie. I use it too. Would love to see your CTs charging curve from as close as possible to 0-100% SoC in a session.
I've been wanting to schedule a supercharger meetup. Maybe this Saturday. I'll let you know if I'm able to carveout some time. Going to be filming this weekend since my son has a weekend off from basketball
This was a new location, hence why I changed the nav to go there, the original SC at this exit was pretty packed as it is much closer to the restaurants
That the CyberTruck gets good range. Almost every other range video states that the CyberTruck does horribly on the freeway. I didn’t see that during this trip
@@doublem6027We know how batteries degrade nowadays. In 2-3 years at 50k miles it will be around 5% less range. The degradation is most in the beginning then slows down.
What they don't want you to know - refers to all the anti EV anti Tesla people who want to tell you that EVs can't do long roadtrips and that the range/efficiency are horrible
Glad you enjoyed the video. I can definitely up the speed to show those results. Not sure when I'll be heading to AZ again but I'll work on it. Thanks for the watch and comment 😁
@@Butter_EVnope.. It's not true. In fact, as it will keep a speed with much tighter tolerance than a human driver, it will reduce consumption. The power steering runs the same whether a human or the Ap is running it, but the steady wheel of Ap will save power even there.
It's the equivelant to over 70+mpge real world at hwy speeds in a 600+hp, awd super cab truck weighing over 6,600# on 35" at's. Guess what a gasser or diesel truck would do in comparison. A trx or raptor r would struggle to hit 10-12mpg on 35 ats@70mph. Even my 2019 f-150xl work truck on 33" coopers at 70mph can't hit 20mpg hwy without a lift or awd it's basically stock.👍🏻😀
The tri-motor Cybertruck was advertised for $79.9K with 500 mile range. Now it sells for $99.9K and only gets 250 miles of real world range. If you purchase the Foundation Edition you can add 20K to the dual motor and tri-motor respectively. That’s $99.9K for the dual motor and $119.9K for the tri-motor. Bravo Tesla! LOL 😂
We were all promised much more for less money back in 2019. Does that mean that it isn't a truck? No but I really wish it had more range and cost a little less
@@Butter_EV I absolutely love what Tesla has done with the design of this EV. I did four years ago and I still do now. I was really looking forward to adding it to my model S and model Y. This is not my first go around with buying Teslas. The facts are this EV falls way short of what was promised at the reveal your opinion may differ. If Elon would have came close, say 450 mile range, I would have given it a second look. I look forward to the improvements Tesla can achieve in future years with the Cybertruck. That said I cancelled my reservation and got my $100 back.
I do not disagree with you nor blame you for canceling. I do agree that future iterations of the CT will be much improved and will get closer to what was promised over 4 years ago
The fact that range is better than estimated and jumped from 10% to 25% just shows how bad Tesla is at the algorithm. It has worked the other way for me on trips where it said to stop charging and then couldn’t make it to the next charger. This is why so many people hate EV’s. Every aspect of Tesla’s are amazing and crappy at the same time. Not everyone loves the challenge of owning an EV. I sold mine and bought a gas guzzling 5.0 liter supercharged V8. So much happier!
I fell for that "You have enough to make the next stop" only to slow down to 55 and consider going back. Now, I get enough plus 20%. Better to have 15% left and drive at least 70
Thanks for the video. Watching how slow you have to drive and how long it takes to recharge for what is a pretty short trip has convinced me not to buy a pure EV in the near future. What a PITA. Maybe I’ll get a PHEV.
I appreciate you watching and commenting. Please keep in mind that the CT will eventually have the ability to charge at 350kw which will speed up the charge times. And I had no intention of being there that long but the restaurant took forever 😩
They should just make an aero dynamix cyber truck and it would automatically gain 25 percent range. Make a ford maverick sized truck and you have a winner. This has minimal appeal. Its a turd.
I know in time there will be variants of the CT. I’d love a “work truck” variant. Where there’s more towing capacity, more payload capacity and more range.
This is a new supercharger, hence why I wanted to go there, the older one was across the street closer to restaurants. So I think less people go here do to the walk to get something to eat. I was shocked that it was empty tbh
No I definitely wouldn’t have but it would’ve been enough to get to my destination. Thank you for the kind words. I really do appreciate you watching and commenting 🙏🏼
Right, that's why Norway is 85% electric. They have electric ferries too. 100% public transportation is electric. It's cold in Norway in case you don't know.
@@Butter_EV not specifically to you, but most people don't get that in there day to day life's, the range is more than they will ever need. There is too much focus on edge cases. The amount of times your towing 11000 lbs at -50c will be seldom at best. Most people travel less than 100 km a day, in the vehicle by themselves.
Go look at Atari's 1989 Hard Drivin'. There is a green van in the game that is very close and the interior shots from the car you drive show a similar front window structure. ruclips.net/video/g6JC-HCNcio/видео.html
I like Tesla, but I just don’t want to do so much thinking about everything if I had one, calculating miles, charging, all that. Although I know these are RUclipsrs also looking for content to grow their channels and generate income. Plus, I would despise all the attention and gawking about the car. I like flying under the radar.
And bad spot for airbag being released. The old 10 and 2 is obsolete it's now 9 and 3, to allow airbag deployment, and not getting your arms blasted to smack you in the face. that steering wheel is another dumb idea. Way too fat A pillar poor visibility. Large computer screen to slice ya up in a wreck. there is so much wrong with this kitchen knife on wheels
It would be like the last 4 gallons coming out at 1 cup per minute. It takes longer to go from 80% to 100% than 20% to 80%. It takes longer to top up each cell
So it took 254 miles of range to go 216 actual miles. Thinking about my model Y the Truck did better than my Y does on the freeway. I do not drive at 70mph, but it seems to do better at least comparing it to this trip. Cheers.

Increased speed really hurts but that goes for ICE vehicles as well. Thanks for sharing your data!
@Butter_EV yup, when I get my Cybertruck on Saturday, I will test 55mph driving. I've yet to see people get consumption numbers at these speeds.
Great vid. I get you wanted to eat lunch, but I think charge to 65-70% and go to next charger from as low as possible will be faster. Nice to see good range.

Be cautious, An owner on X reported his CT suffered a complete brake and steering failure while driving with his family in the truck.
I seen that. What an unfortunate situation. That has always been my biggest fear. To get stranded while traveling with the family @@bobbybishop5662

Yeah but that's how people drive. So with all this power, you expect people to feather the pedal?
but if the screen crashes, how can I fix this?
Press both steering wheel buttons for a few seconds to do a hard reset
What version of the truck is this?
Dual motor
I can live with range but not the price
Really wish the price was closer to what was originally promised

@LostFart $75k for a M3? Wow 😮
Future efficency test. Assuming food wait times at recharging stop will be congested. Would it be faster to have separate food and recharging stops?
Yes, on the trip back home we stopped at a smaller supercharger and just ate gas station food. It was much quicker

Much more efficient going slower
Excellent video. Cant wait for more towing tests.
Thanks. I'm filming a 5,000 lb trailer tow test this weekend. Should have that posted around this time next week. Stay tuned
What’s the sweet spot. The faster you go the more you have to stop and charge
If you stay around 70mph you’ll be fine
Tesla should just leave the rear space behind the chargers empty to allow you to pull next to the curb on the oposite side of the regular parking spots. I did that in several superchargers while towing and it worked GREAT... and no need for special pull thru charging locations.

@Butter_EV 80 in the south helps inform the slower speeds in the northeast in the cold.
Using cruise control or auto pilot uses more battery. Lower range.

🤔...216 miles using 94kw is not good at all, especially with an empty truck that's rated for 318 miles
Others have shown horrible efficiency numbers and I felt really good about this trip. Getting close to 300 mi range is great

You’re misleading about the range
How so?
Take a trip to arizona in the summer time when its hot and you have your A/C on full blast.And stop making excuses about how long you took to charge
I’ll most definitely take a trip to Nevada or Arizona in the summer. It will be interesting to see how it does in that summer heat

These cars are still not built for road trips. Extremely inefficient when it comes to charging
Hoping 350kw charging fixed that 🤞🏼
everyone drives 80 mph around here, you would get ran over doing 70 mph
In Arizona? I upped my speed to 75mph but got hit with traffic in Phoenix
You didn't get the wheel covers replaced, they cut into the tires, look it up. More design flaws
Cut into the tires? They rub a little but nothing to be concerned about as long you keep the inflation at the recommended psi
@@Butter_EV Not according to the stuff i seen, it wears the sidewalls really dangerously bad. Take them off till you get new stuff, not good
you are wasting time charging up to 100% follow the navigation guide
I agree. I really want to only charge to 70-80% but Carls Jr took forever 😩
I can hardly hear you over that loud background music
Really? I'm sorry. I will need to go back and look at my audio settings
You Tesla fans are actually fooled by Tesla ！ haha!😂
🤣
Thanks for the video. Watching how slow you have to drive and how long it takes to recharge for what is a pretty short trip has convinced me not to buy a pure EV in the near future. What a PITA. Maybe I’ll get a PHEV.
I appreciate you watching and commenting. Please keep in mind that the CT will eventually have the ability to charge at 350kw which will speed up the charge times. And I had no intention of being there that long but the restaurant took forever 😩
They should just make an aero dynamix cyber truck and it would automatically gain 25 percent range. Make a ford maverick sized truck and you have a winner. This has minimal appeal. Its a turd.
I know in time there will be variants of the CT. I’d love a “work truck” variant. Where there’s more towing capacity, more payload capacity and more range.
When you listen to someone who actually owns one and has a brain...
Empty charge station shows how far ahead tesla are n that it's still only the relatively rich than can enjoy this experience
This is a new supercharger, hence why I wanted to go there, the older one was across the street closer to restaurants. So I think less people go here do to the walk to get something to eat. I was shocked that it was empty tbh
relatively rich is a relative term.
@@itchynackers yeah but you know what I mean...
1 hour and 10 minutes to charge. What is your time worth? Saving the environment 3 tons at a time.
I would’ve only been there maybe 20mins if the restaurant didn’t take so long
Fair enough but I don't think you would have reached 99% charge in 20 minutes. Happy to see you enjoying the truck and great review.
No I definitely wouldn’t have but it would’ve been enough to get to my destination. Thank you for the kind words. I really do appreciate you watching and commenting 🙏🏼
cold climates and ev automobiles dont get along
Luckily I live in CA
Right, that's why Norway is 85% electric. They have electric ferries too. 100% public transportation is electric. It's cold in Norway in case you don't know.
Electric cars work bad in cold conditions. ICE doesn't work at all (I'm talking about real cold, not what is considered cold in the US).
99 percent of your drives will not be road trips, remember that
You’re correct. I’m showing even better efficiency when doing my normal driving around town
@@Butter_EV not specifically to you, but most people don't get that in there day to day life's, the range is more than they will ever need. There is too much focus on edge cases. The amount of times your towing 11000 lbs at -50c will be seldom at best. Most people travel less than 100 km a day, in the vehicle by themselves.
💯
I like Tesla, but this thing looks like it was designed by an 8-year-old...
😂🤣😂🤣
Blame franz and lars they revealed in the top gear review it was their side project design that Elon approved&made it to production. 👍🏻😀
Go look at Atari's 1989 Hard Drivin'. There is a green van in the game that is very close and the interior shots from the car you drive show a similar front window structure. ruclips.net/video/g6JC-HCNcio/видео.html
I like Tesla, but I just don’t want to do so much thinking about everything if I had one, calculating miles, charging, all that. Although I know these are RUclipsrs also looking for content to grow their channels and generate income. Plus, I would despise all the attention and gawking about the car. I like flying under the radar.
Attention is crazy. I’m already noticing people not caring as much in my community as they see me everyday 😂
@@Butter_EV That's cool. Hoping you enjoy your new vehicle and that people allow you space and some privacy :) Enjoy!
Good thing is the car does all the thinking.
You don't have to. The car shows you where the chargers are and how much range you'll have. It's very easy to use.
And bad spot for airbag being released. The old 10 and 2 is obsolete it's now 9 and 3, to allow airbag deployment, and not getting your arms blasted to smack you in the face. that steering wheel is another dumb idea. Way too fat A pillar poor visibility. Large computer screen to slice ya up in a wreck. there is so much wrong with this kitchen knife on wheels
Love the wrap…what is it?
Thank you. It is 3M 2080 in Brushed Black Metallic
What was the cost to wrap?
Why would I stop at a gas pump and not fill it full? this only charge to 80% is ludicrous
EVs are totally different from ICE vehicles. It is best to get the battery down to 20% and charge to 80%. Helps to get you the fastest charge possible
It would be like the last 4 gallons coming out at 1 cup per minute.
It takes longer to go from 80% to 100% than 20% to 80%. It takes longer to top up each cell
Who drives 70 mph, no one does
😔 I do
I will never plan around charging and adding hours to my trip
It can definitely be frustrating to have to plan around charging stops during a trip.
Lost me with stupid music.
I’m sorry, I was going for upbeat music
like this channel but this video sucked, too confusing for someone who does not own an electric car.
I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy it. What exactly “sucked”. I’m always open to constructive criticism as I want to improve
