Hybrid’s just make much more sense, than going full electric to me. More efficient, cheaper, more practical. The cyber truck is a very cool truck. Just not for roadtrips.

Having to stop to charge every 2-3 hours is absolutely brutal. When I am in road trip mode I like to put in as many miles as possible or stop for cool attractions along the way. Not stop at a charging station multiple times a day. I am so disappointed in the range. I know that Elon and a bunch of KZbin Tesla fanboys always say that you need to stop every few hours for a restroom break and something to eat anyway, but I usually just pull off on a dirt road and take a piss and always bring a cooler with drinks and food when I do road trip. This is a huge let down. Not to mention I live in Canada so any winter road trips will be very tough indeed as I can probably only expect to get 150-180 miles of range when it is -30 Celsius. I have a Cybertruck on reservation, but it just will not be practical for me at all. Also not enough charging stations in certain parts of the Country so the range on this would limit where I can travel. I should mention that I am a Tesla shareholder so this is an honest opinion from a shareholder and fan of the company.

This is why I actually think a gasoline range extender is appropriate right now for EV trucks, at least until the battery energy density gets to 2x what it is now (at the same price and weight). A 15 gallon tank and small generator could probably fit in the frunk and it would give it way more range.

@@DennisCW I will usually go 6 or more hours without stopping other than a piss break on the side of the road or like I said a stop for a waterfall or some other attraction. But I don't want to be stopping at a charger instead of stopping at those attractions and fitting in both stops will just lengthen the road trip considerably. It really is unfortunate. I wanted to love this truck, but the range is a killer and that range extender that sits in the bed is not practical. I like using my trucks to haul stuff in the bed a few times a year and that range extender is not easily removable. The originally touted 500+ miles for the tri-motor is what intrigued me. I know Teslas never get their EPA estimated range on highway drives so I was thinking it is probably a realistic 400 miles or 250 miles during winter. I could have dealt with that. I just think it is a huge missed opportunity to not have a variation with greater range. Like I said the range extender in the bed is not practical for anyone who wants to actually use the truck as a truck. Lots of people use their truck to tow as well as carry stuff in the bed. It is not one or the other for lots of people. My hope is that they improve the battery cells over time and can get the range up to at least 400 miles.

Considering how a Tesla will always be to the right of the Supercharger (from the unit's point of view) the solution seems obvious to me: with new deployments of the Supercharger units, flip the locations of the cable connection to the unit & the holster for the handle. This can be accomplished by simply turning the unit 180 degrees since there isn't a display screen that faces the user. This way, instead of stretching ACROSS the unit to get to the receptacle, the cable would pivot from what is currently the handle holster side. That should provide enough "extra length" that it won't be a problem to connect. Dennis, feel free to pass this idea on to Elon, just mention that I am the one who brought it up. 😎

If you charge to 80%, but only use it till ~15%, that means you gave yourselves access to only 60% of the battery power each lap. You also spent at least 30 mins per stop. That means a lot of time was wasted during stops. It will only be beneficial if I had to do diaper changes for babies, and feed them on a schedule, etc… 😅 As a single guy or childless couple, it would suck, especially if driving through Canada.

I've done that round trip in both a 3 and Y. You definitely want to try to arrive at the next charger as low as you dare (5-10%) and only charge what you need to reach the next charger. While charging, look ahead on your route to see where the 250kW options are. Occasionally there is a 250kW near an older 150kW and the navigation might favor the 150kW because it's less busy. There are a few chargers on that route you can skip but for the most part, stopping at all of them is optimal as you avoid the slower part of the charge curve which makes up for the few extra minutes of getting on/off the highway. Overall, it looks like you got about the same range I see on the 3 and Y on that trip with the only significant difference being longer charge times expected for a heavier vehicle with higher consumption and bigger battery. The speed out there is fast so not much you can do to safely drive slower but in a pinch, pulling in tight behind the fastest semi will do wonders for you consumption/range.

I too own a Model Y LR and was going to add the CT for hauling my 25' Airstream replacing my GMC Sierra 1500. I have thought about something other than the numerous charging trips if I switch to the CT and it is more of a concern than range, it is....... how in the heck will I be able to charge the CT with my trailer in tow? I would have to either 1) unhitch (aint gonna happen) each time I charge, or drive parallel to the Tesla charger and hog up 5 empty charging spaces OR, 2) hope for a "pull through" charger which Tesla has very few. I'm screwed if I go through with the CT, I'll think I'm the dumbest dude on the planet to do this to myself.

On the first glance just a few things to point out. Temperature was 1 degree Celsius so pretty much freezing temps which is not optimal, the car was using up insanely much power judging by the last trip meters from time to time 900wh/km which is absolutely nuts. In comparison my M3 dual motor does around 180 in freezing temps , 160 in summer. So I bet some flooring or over speeding was the norm here as it was ranging between 300wh and 900wh/km. Also sad to see the infrastructure in the US is still so shit, in Europe you can't drive 50km without hitting a high speed charger and that allows you to always just charge between 5% and 60% ish so you never have to wait the 40 mins + as displayed here between charges. Tbh all in all the stalls were ok, getting 80+kw at 80% battery capacity is nothing to scoff at , M3 has barely 50-60 at that point and that is if I am lucky. So this shows pretty much the worst case scenario.

OK yes this also proves that it's very low mileage truck. Keep in mind this is with no other cars at the charging stations. So if more of these are on the Rd., having to stay on average 40 min per charge stop will increase to 1h1/2 per stop for your travel. So not a very feasible off-road truck, unless your going to have charging station in the wild where not even gas etc. refueling can be found.

Most obvious problem in the cybertruck and any EVs out there is the charging time. A reasonable person cannot wait for more than 5 mins at the charging station and that is if there are any charging stations or working charging stations. Tesla and other manufacturers should ALL of their engineering time on improving the charging speed.

This is a young man’s vehicle. 1285 miles / 15 charges = 85 miles between “supercharges”. Wow, I guess @ 63 years old I’ll be sticking to my 32 mpg 400 mile range ICE. I’m in the northern part of the country which consumes more battery power to heat the battery & heat the interior. How much $ would that trip cost if you had to use your credit card? I’m not knocking it. My 2 cents.

From my observation, better will be to gun the truck as fast as you can & arrive at the supercharger with as low battery as possible, because 4680 battery peak charging is before 25% & after that it drops dramatically.. So you'll drive fast, charge fast & leave the supercharger just under 80% Don't even try to pass 80% it have no point

Cybertruck 4680 battery pack seems either very conservatively managed by BMS until Tesla has enough degradation and use data to possibly open up for a more aggressive charging profile. Or possibly we will need to wait for a next gen battery chemistry to be released that offers all the objectives and goals set at battery day over 3 years ago. Higher density would also allow for more kWh in future packs of same size.

You really showed the the real life experience with this extremely cool but flawed* vehicle. In order to maximize range you have to go down to really low percentages but then you risk a break down if there is an issue at the planned charging station (less of a Tesla problem). Also you will consume a ton of battery if you move at the pace of traffic which is 70+ out east and 80+ in most of the open spaces elsewhere. Finally the CT suffers from poor charging (charging curve) due to the battery type. Still a super cool video but this thing is best used for regional travel with great charging infrastructure. It will be interesting to see if the $60k version is even worse if it ever actually comes out. I suspect Tesla won't want to give up margin and will continue focusing on the $80k and up CTs given their ability to crank out limited numbers.

Amazing video man, congrats! In my road trip videos on my first road trip in the Model Y I ignored most of the places it wanted me to stop. I kinda just looked at how much charge it had and what I could get to the furthest supercharger with, I try to arrive in the teens, but nothing under 5%, take a 40+ min break and see how full it gets on a charge and then continue on my trip. Cybertruck is a different ball game, so keep experimenting with it. 😁

@@DennisCW Yup, just zoom out on the Map and look at all the charging stops, if you have 200 miles left in it, and u have a super charger 50 miles away and another is 150 miles away, I’m just ignoring the one that is 50 miles away and go straight to the one that’s 150 miles away. It reduces the number of stops, but you’re just charging for a longer time which I don’t mind. You get to walk around, eat, etc. you will come up with your own road trip style though, everyone is different.

Using a mean value of $25/charge, If my math is correct, that equates to what would be about $4.08/gallon with a combustion engine, and a total cost of $375 . Here in Ohio gas is roughly $2.69/gallon.....I don't see the environmental benefit here, since you have to burn excess coal to produce the excess electricity needed. Also, time is money, so the loss of work productivity goes way down as well. If I used my car, and took a rest break every two hours and a fuel break every five hours, I would only lose 100-120 minutes between the 3-4 stops needed, and it should only take me about 19-hours to drive, and would cost me approximately $135🤷🤷🤷

As much as I'm an advocate for EVs, this is just too much downtime on a trip. I have a 12-year-old GMC Terrain I use for long distance trips. I average 25mpg with a 16.5 gal. tank, so I have about 350-375 useable range on a single tank. I can refuel in five minutes. Three stops, maybe four. At 70mph, I'd make this trip in 20 hours tops. Like many people, even ardent EV supporters, the range (or lack thereof), the added time, and the anxiety created is not worth it. Battery improvement for those who do business long distance is a must.

If the thing had 500 miles new, they you could know that you could count on having 300 miles as Tesla always uses false advertising. Either it’s false advertising or their vehicles are just not very good. My model Yp was advertised as 516km range which partly convinced me to buy it. That was almost as much as my Ford Everest Bi Turbo. I envisioned taking the family to our favorite beach which is 218km away and back home on a charge as we could on the Ford. So after 7 months, we only have 358km of range when we charge to 80%. When it was new it was 460km at 80%. But the 358km is only what the car tells you have after a charge. You never get anywhere close to the range estimate. Needless to say, we can’t go to the beach and back on a charge. We live in Thailand so there are no superchargers within 200km at the beach so we are reliant on 3rd party chargers. Driving the 218km starting at 100% from home we end up with about 110km remaining. We drive just like we would drive the Everest. When electric cars are better than gas cars I will buy another one. They should tell you upfront that you have to drive 40mph (64kph) to even get close the range you are shown after a charge. Not just my New model Yp at home, but I just rented a model Y lr from hertz in Dallas and drive it to LA and had the same experience. I had an Indonesian co worker with me and I dreamed of showing the beautiful American South West. So we first stoped to see friends in Pagosa Springs Co. From there, to Cortez and through the Navajo nation there were J1772 stops that took hours. Or we had to go direct to the next Supercharger with no deviations. So don’t visit the painted desert. Can’t go to Bryce Canyon or the North Rim for sightseeing. Don’t get me wrong, I love knowing my kids are safe in a crash… Unless Tesla claims are not correct there either. When any of them have 500miles ADVERTISED range, I might buy another one.

I don’t know it just seems off compared to what they reported about charge times, but to be fair it could be something to do with the chargers themselvesor combination of both as well as range efficiency not sure if that software or if that’s just the lack of the batteries being able to handle the range. Hope they can figure it out and I hope it’s just a software issue.
