Cybertruck charging at 250KW Supercharger - How much does it cost to charge

[@mattl7967]

If it’s a 250kw charger, you don’t have to worry about spacing. Also your charge speed (mi/hr) will be far less than your S because it’s less efficient. So it gets less range per kw.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Well now I know. Thank you

[@Scott-sm9nm]

2:40 You should really get comfortable with looking at that backup camera as you can see right where the curb is. Back up as close as you can. Tip: play and edge backing up and getting out and looking. Then go in and look at the backup camera and memorize the key spots to look at so you can duplicate it. ALSO does the left 'birdseye' view of that screen give you solid information. On our Tesla with the USS we can tell almost exactly how far we are in backing up (ie. I go 12"-15") ... but you should be able to use context clues.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Thank you. I will follow your suggestions

[@Scott-sm9nm]

4:15 there is some confusion here because at a V3 Supercharger you do not care if you are parked next to someone as the pedestals are not paired. That is V2 and below.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@CGGC0202]

at 250 kw Supercharger it dosnt matter if you are next to anyone, that only matters at 150 kw stations.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Just learned that. Thank you

[@Beakerzor]

great video! the rule of thumb I tell people is EV's are 1/3rd the cost of gas on suppercharging, and 1/10th the cost at home. I have an EV tariff where if I charge from 11pm to 7am it comes out to be 1/40th the cost of gas.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Great point!

[@roydelpozo4816]

1/3? At superchargers? For my 2017 model x 100d it’s about 80% the cost to a similar suv . If I drove it 55 maybe I might hit 50% . But driving 70 to 80 mph and supercharger use is not really worth it to me with time waiting to charge. Now my home charger at 2.5 cents at night is where it is at! Less than 10 percent the most. Superchargers years ago were a lot more inexpensive. Today they’re on average almost twice as much than what they were four years ago. But I 100% agree that home charging is where it’s at.

[@Beakerzor]

@@roydelpozo4816 i have a model 3, the worst I’ve had to pay is 1/3, it’s usually come out to 1/4 the price of gas, but I use my 1/40th the price of gas at home 99% of the time, the solar panels I just got brings it down to 1/400th the cost of gas when there is sun

[@roydelpozo4816]

@@Beakerzor So you must have some really expensive gas. I can go 400 miles in my 2005 dodge hemi wagon ( still own but barely drive it since i got the teslas) (20 gallons at 20mpg at 75 to 80 MPH) for about 50 dollars ( really alot less right now as gas here in OK is 2.19 or so). If i drive my same 75 to 80 on my x 100d i get 200 miles of range ( rated at 270 if managed to drive 55 but also about 10% degradation) . The average OK supercharger is .35 a KW. Two recharges to make 400 miles would cost 70 dollars. Actually more expensive as you can see. And this is a 20 year old car comparison. It gets worse if i compare it to newer cars with better fuel efficiency. Now those same 400 miles using home charging only cost me 5 dollars ( 2.5kw for 200 KW). That is what made me a convert to Electric back in 2016 with our model s and our 17 x. They are totally worthless in the market today with depreciation and newer electrics being so cheap so we will drive them till they die. But we love our "worthless" cars. We have had no major issues and love them . That said i guess newer cars much be so much better on both the gas and electric spectrum. My X at 80 MPH averages about 450 to 500. My s 350 to 425. My wifes new at the time 22 M3P seems to do about 325 to 350 at the same 80. with those numbers the less than gas argument makes more sense. But those of us with older cars don't have a chance to beat Gas at highway speeds. The newer ones do better but still what do i compare a model 3 performance too? A BMW m3? so maybe 25MPG? Still too close for cost traveling. But a killer savings with home charging. No denying that for anyone that can do math. I just don't see how apt dwellers using the supercharger think there is savings. Unless they got time of day rates are charging when the rate is 10 cents, we have one of those in OKC where the rate is 10 cents from 10 pm to 6 am i think at my last check.

[@Beakerzor]

@@roydelpozo4816 do you use Tessie or other 3rd party management? I checked my Tessie and it reports I'm getting a lifetime average of 290 Wh/mi for the total 31,000 miles I've driven. What is your Model X's Wh/mi average?

Congratulations! Very choice purchase. Did you buy in Texas? Can you do a video on the purchase experience in Texas? I hear Texas doesn't allow Tesla to sell direct so you have to go out of state to take delivery. Thank you.

thanks for the videos while we the people wait.

[@ChrisWilliams-vm1do]

It’s really neat, but not sure I have the patience for all that. EV’s good for around town and charging at home. Gas still best for the long trips out of town.

[@CampingWheelingandStuff]

just like many people at a gas pump or charger they complain about the cable or hose being too short. lol. No, no , no. it's you. lol. you had 3 feet between bumper and charger.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

It's free to charge at home if one has solar, puplic level 2 chargers arev also usually free so slow charging should be used 99% of the time. Super chargers should only be used a few times a year.

[@rgeraldalexander4278]

Thanks for including the charge cost, but didn't see how many miles were estimated at 70% charge.

[@TristanHutchison]

well assuming full capacity u can go 340 miles estimate. at 70% it would be 238 miles. next time look into something

[@mukoraka]

good video, shows the extent to which ev's at the moment are total scam. In ideal conditions the range is around 250 miles, and it's not cheap to charge it. When temps go below 20, the range drops additional 40% (per AAA)..is that's why only Texas and Cali get these things?

Who the hell wants to wait 30 minutes to an hour for charging. Also who has time for this? Imagine a road trip and waiting that long at each stop. Will never be me.

[@bluesky2145]

I just filled my Nissan Murano with 500 mi range for $48. Based on this $33 charge for 250 mi You're going to need $66 to match my 500 mi range. Plus it's ugly as hell

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

You are comparing it with Nissan Morano. Compare it with at least V8 to match how and torque . You will end up paying $90 to fill. Also you barely need to charge at super charger, charge at home for .17 or .14 or even better if you have nights free electric plan.

[@BLUCHIEF]

This is very misleading about the cost of charging this. It is ridiculously expensive.

[@jacobjack1865]

Your right about the cost but the V8 is going to cost less toured the end. Your going to pay more with more stops. 80 dollars will get you about 4 to 5 hundred miles and in the cyber truck you will pay that after three stops.

[@ss-tx-rx2860]

Imagine being this bad at driving and understanding how electric charging works and running a channel called MyGadgetsWorld. Bigger battery = more kWh. So same 250kW charger on bigger kWh battery means less "mi/hr" charge speed. Is like grade school science class dimensional analysis. Also just use your mirrors and back it in bro, it ain't all that. Also a V8 engine costs $80. Do pray tell what your sources are on that number. That came straight from the down-under, if you catch my drift. I have a '73 Camaro which has a V8. It also has an 18gal tank, so right now it costs about $50 to fill. V8 not $80. Weird, I know.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Ok ✅

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

This isn’t the only video I have on the channel :) well respect your comment.

Math is not adding up 32% added 33kwh. TESLA wizards time to chime in.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

There are losses in efficiency.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

I will try to charge from 0 to 100% soon to see how much KW is added. I think that should tell us exactly how much is battery capacity

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@MyGadgetsWorld Someone did it. I think it was 124-125kwh. They drove it until dead.

[@8bajwa8]

@@ItsBinhRepaired out of spec did 100 to 0. It does not gave exact number of battery size. 124kwh consumed doesn't mean it is 124 kwh usable battery. Regen also add power to battery during the trip. Speaking of efficiency loss 32 % 33kwh is opposite to loss.

[@NotTubeIm]

@@8bajwa8unless the trip has a significant one way descent, regen shouldn’t add more energy that’s not already in the battery pack

[@starpawsy]

How many of you realize ..... charging a lithium battery typically occurs at about 90% efficiency. That means, if you charge it at 250kW, then your battery is going to be dissipating 25kW of heat. That's TEN 2500W heaters going at full blast. All of that heat cooking your battery, which being mainly non-metal, is not so great at dissipating heat. Do you really really think that that is a good idea?

[@thang1742]

tesla charges with 100% efficiency as in losses are not counted for unlike home charging

[@starpawsy]

@@thang1742 Wpw. Wow. Amazing ignorance and delusion, right there. Tell you watt (pun intended). Go and discuss this with someone that you trust who also understands electricity and chemistry. Because ... and I dont mean this in a rude way .... you have no freaking idea and are therefore a danger to yourself. And others who listen to you.
