TESLA CYBERTRUCK ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS, TX TO PALM SPRINGS, CA. IT'S GREAT!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an extensive road trip from Dallas, TX, to Palm Springs, CA, in a Tesla Cybertruck, providing a detailed account of its performance and practicality. The Cybertruck's interior comfort, spaciousness, and smooth ride are highly praised, making it an excellent road-tripping companion. The reviewer highlights the impressive cargo capacity, accommodating luggage in the bed, frunk, and cabin. While the exterior design is deemed 'ridiculous' by the reviewer, the interior experience is 'spectacular.' Efficiency is a mixed bag; the reviewer notes good around-town range but struggles with highway speeds, particularly in windy conditions, averaging between 450-500 Wh/mile, and even higher in severe wind. Charging experiences are generally positive, with the Cybertruck preconditioning its battery for fast charging and achieving speeds up to 257 kW on V3 Superchargers and over 300 kW on a 350 kW GM Energy charger, though the latter dropped off faster than expected. The reviewer also notes the convenience of Tesla's navigation for charging stops and the availability of free Supercharging. Despite the efficiency challenges due to weather, the reviewer expresses overall satisfaction with the Cybertruck as a road trip vehicle, contrasting it favorably with a problematic Cadillac Lyriq.
