[@davisongeorge]

At 97 mpg equivalent, the cybertruck holds 4 gallons of gas worth of power. EVs get away with it because they are super efficient in turning that into movement and recover energy going downhill. But there is no efficiency you can gain from an electric motor hauling 10,000 lbs uphill at 80mph. If it takes a diesel truck 2 gallons of fuel it will take an electric truck at least 1.5 gallon equivalent of energy (you still get a 50% boost from not running a full ICE drivetrain and heat losses) And there goes half your charge. Long haul towing won't be a thing electric trucks can do until we get batteries equivalent to at least 10 gal of diesel fuel (1300 kw/h) the cybertruck claimed it's towing model would ship with a 500 kw/h battery, the beast version only has 125 kw/h. Battery tech just isn't ready.

@@jamescreekmore3855 Depends, the supposed "dangers" of towing an EV is simply over charging it if you tow them long enough on a full battery. But that only really applies to very old EV's (or very very cheap ones) as most modern EV's just open the circuit when the battery is full or near full. Which basically means the motors turn freely without resistance and without generating power. It's also the reason why you lose regenerative braking when on full battery. So no, it's not a bad idea, not with a Tesla. At least not more so than flat towing in general, though with EV's you also don't have to worry about damaging the drivetrain on AWD variants, like the case with most ICE cars.

Why on earth would you ever want one of these as an electrical contractor? Even a regular pickup isn't the best vehicle for your business and a Cybertruck is far more impractical/unreliable than a regular pickup. You could have a fully kitted out sprinter/transit for less money and it would be 100x more practical.

[@greggardner3154]

@markadler8968 My service truck is a Ram 2500 cummins with a Miranda box on it with my tools and and materials in it. It's by far the best option for me as the box with its kit can be easily swapped out on to another truck. The fuel economy isn't horrible for somting its size and weight. The 4x4 in winter is a nessassary as I don't have time to shovel out parking spots down town. I have a Sprinter as well. I'm dissipointed with it. It's really expensive for what is, basically a high roof regular 2 wheel drive delevery van. Out of the fleet the sprinters have the worst maintenance record. They are really bad in the winter as far as getting in and out of snow banks. I also have an E-Transt. It's head and shoulders over the sprinter as far as toughness and technology go. The bolt in points on the Transit are far more solid than the sprinter. The sprinters racking actually pulled the factory nuts right out of the ribs. The transit also requires virtually no maintenance. It's only MAJOR downfall is the range. In good weather you get 250kms in cold winter conditions that gets cut in half. My Ram is a Long Horne so... it costs what it costs, my truck, my toy I don't care 🤣 . A new Sprinter base model is around 70k about what I paid for the E-Transit. If I got a base model Ram it would be around what the sprinter is but 4 times the truck. The Miranda box is a one time cost so I don't count it in equation. In my experience the Sprinters were ok back in the day when they were 500$ a month as that offset the ridiculous MB maintenance costs. BTW, get rid of all of them before the warranty is up. Especially the Sprinter, they can generate horrific repair bills.

The CT would probably almost pay for itself in fuel savings and no maintenance. I really appreciate the E Transit for that aspect. If I can get 350 to 450 kms a day out of the CT it would be an excellent option for me. I would still keep the Ram for long trips and trailer hauling. Both the Etransit and the Sprinter are not good for towing. Never even tried it with the ETransit as we all know how horrific that would be. The Sprinter is barley adequate to carry the stuff in it. Towing a trailer boom with it was no fun at all. I think it all comes down to what you need it for. If the Etransit hand a 400km range in cold weather, the Sprinter would have been gone long ago.

I drive a Jeep truck daily and haul a small camper for trips. When I get a new truck In the next couple years I think the cyber truck is pretty awesome but wonder would it work for my real life situation? I have a suggestion: Both trucks towing something like a 3-5000k lb camper (same weight for both trucks) and average camping gear in the bed for payload. Have both trucks doing the same 500-1000 mile road trip emulating real world travel/camping with both making the same planned overnight stops. Driving the actual speed limit (not racing to the destinations). Just driving like you would on a regular trip while towing. Then break down all the math. The fuel truck: how many stops to fill up with total mileage/ fuel cost and time spent filling up. Ease to fill up. The Cyber truck: how many stops for charging, time spent, cost to charge and ease to find charging station… for a real life typical road trip (I wonder would charging in between destinations be easy or cause a lot of anxiety?) That way we can see fuel vs electric for a realistic travel towing situation. I am curious how they will compare in a typical truck use situation with some longer range travel and not just being loaded to the max and going fast.

It's about range and recharge times...that's the issue everybody is having with the electric trucks and cars for that matter. It's probably fine around town for short hops if you can get back home in time by the evening to recharge it.

[@chadcoady9025]

The people who don't care about range because they can charge at home....those are the millions of people EV's are perfect for. Even when counting road trips, the average american drives 39 miles per day, or 14,000 miles per year. 270ish miles of range for $6 is hard to beat. Also waking up to a pre-cooled or prewarmed and charged car every day is pretty sweet as well. For towing or long distances over 400 miles a day, don't pick an EV.

[@aaronbounds1336]

Yep. For normal average daily driving use, if you have electricity at your home and can plug into a 220-240 volt outlet, the overall ownership experience is much better: always full, very convenient, no wasted time on any of the constant ICE car maintenance.

Can we get a dedicated video for the wheel specs and details on what modifications were made to get the wheel set up to work ? SUPER CLEAN !

HeavyD is a 100% role model for young people. He is one of the cleanest living people any place. I am a lot older than he is. Cheers.

How can you be clean living and buy that useless monstrosity?

[@dashobie]

EV'S are great for driving from Charging Station to Charging Station.

[@allmybasketsinoneegg]

Can't beat physics, it would need a giant battery pack to get decent range while towing. I'd refer to the RAM REV 1500 for electric towing which happens to have a massive battery pack. Still, nice to know that you could pull something big in an emergency.

[@allmybasketsinoneegg]

Technically the Hummer EV has an equally big battery pack, only the Hummer EV is so giant that it seems to waste enormous amounts of energy just lugging its own fat ass around.

[@4literv6]

@@allmybasketsinoneegg uh og h1 got about 7mpg average which is over 5kwhs per mile consumption as diesel is 37.9kwhs per gallon. The hummev gets 45-55mpge which is about 1.5 miles per kwh. So it's actually insanely efficient for a 9,000#+1,000+hp awd on 35s monster!

[@who6339]

Thats the case with all of them even the cars. Batteries are extremely heavy. @@allmybasketsinoneegg

[@Proximian]

I heard about trailers with their own electric motor and battery, which will connect to and cancel the trailer's weight from the EV Truck. I would love to see you test one of these, but I imagine they are super expensive and probably in the prototype stage.

[@mwyatt222]

The new CATL solid state batteries are 1000+ miles range, charge in 30 minutes, 200 miles in 5 minutes, 1 mil. mile warranty or 15 years. The 600+ CATL is already in 2024 EVs, the 1000+ is coming is 2 model years.

[@DSRE535]

I wonder how much the bigger tires hurt it on battery life

[@Constellasian]

The Cybertruck is sort of like a cheetah. It's uses a lot of energy for speed, but loses out on stamina. Stamina is one of the main reasons cheetahs lose their kill to other predators. Other predators simply wait for the cheetah to catch its prey. They swoop in for the steal after the cheetah kills the prey. The cheetah, having low stamina, is always too exhausted to defend its food and retreats. In the Cybertruck's case, it loses the race if it's a long distance journey. The stamina of this supposed utility car can't currently compete with ICE trucks. Mix that in with the need to stop more often and refuel, and it gets left in the dust of a gas guzzling pickup.

Wow! You just missed the whole point of this test, didn’t you? Please, broaden your horizon. Comphrende! Cheers 🥂

[@Constellasian]

@@theodorehaskins3756 I'm not surprised someone like you can't see your fallacy. Did you even listen his comments about how this car wouldn't be good for long distance vs an ICE truck?

@@Wolf-vc4wj Running 80 MPH on a significant grade. Not saying anyone should use the CT for towing if they don't have the time to charge it. But I would like so see how much fuel the RAM burned and then compare the energy cost. I realize time is money for most people.

[@weeklongwind]

Nah Bro the cyber truck be like glamrock Freddy in the recharge station every time.

[@rgvshane]

Soooo, all you need is a nuclear reactor on the trailer to provide backup power.

No electric for this old man 👍

[@bobhouse288]

This old man prefers a simple electric motor. Today's modern engines are too complex, problematic and way too expensive to repair.

[@Steve-318]

You'll want fsd though when you forget how to go from A to B and back, lol.

[@who6339]

with age comes wisdom.

[@brady783]

I'd like to know the exact numbers for the kwh consumed on the hill climb itself. As well as the fuel consumption of the Cummins. The efficiency numbers are really interesting when you break them down. The CT has a 123kwh battery pack. Diesel fuel has an energy density of 37.95kwh per gallon. The CT has an equivalent energy of 3.24 gallons of diesel fuel on board. Based on your stated consumption of 1.2kwh per mile, that's equivalent to 30mpg diesel. Total distance be damned. That efficiency is still crazy good. Math is fun, kids!

[@danharold3087]

Why are we comparing the fuel consumption with the CT going ~80 and the ICE ~60. Do you see the problem. With the current CT one might get more miles per hour driven by driving slower and charging less often. Less money too.

[@diablo3894]

U shoulda seen what whistling diesel did that the cyber truck on his trailer test lmao

Vertical tung weight is a thing right Btw I’m not with electric it’s just a good idea

[@HytelGrp]

I would like to see you drive behind the diesel and see how much less the battery will drain if you keep you foot out of the accelerator. When I had my Roadrunner, I got 19 mpg when I drove rationally, but about 5 - 6 if I did full throttle all the time (not to mention tire wear, as when you spun the tires). Another issue is larger tires ruins the range, and smaller increases the range, so the 2nd test is to use the standard tire and follow the diesel and see what the range will be.

[@colinmccarthy8347]

Wouldn’t work, ev’s don’t coast, you take your foot off the accelerator in an ev, it slows to charge…. Drafting would not work as you would fall behind when you take your foot off the pedal.

[@joebuslife9275]

​@@colinmccarthy8347 you just press the pedal less not get off it completely...

[@drrightwing4435]

You mean WIDER tires decreases range and THINNER tires increase range. Think final gear ratio and rolling resistance

Yes its an option, but its absolutely not comparable. You just did a real world comparison, and the thing wouldn't have made it out of town amd back.

@@mcsike7264 yeah we get it, kinda like a gas station for fuel based engines. Still doesn't come close to a comparison. Especially if it gets cold, you'll lose another 40%.

[@mcsike7264]

[@timblair1204]

Do a real world comparison. Take both trucks fully loaded 3500 miles and see how long it takes for both to arrive at the end of the trip and what it cost for those miles, I for one would be very interested in the outcome.

[@nickadamson6053]

Especially the cost. You're not spending $10 off your house electricity to charge up on a road trip. You're spending $30-40 a charge at a supercharger station. Every 100-ish miles? Hot damn...

[@jeffclarke1540]

That battery percentage will be dropping quicker than a countdown to a space shuttle launch
