CYBERTRUCK'S RANGE LOSS REVEALED AFTER 900 MILES

EV Channels Review

This video details a family road trip in a Tesla Cybertruck, focusing on real-world range performance with aftermarket modifications. The reviewer highlights significant range loss due to new tires, wheels, and a bed rack, estimating a practical range of around 218 miles on a full charge, down from the estimated 318 miles. Efficiency varied greatly, ranging from 55% to 75%, heavily influenced by driving speed, elevation changes, and driving style (the reviewer's wife achieved better efficiency). The reviewer also discusses the improved navigation and charging stop suggestions from Tesla's software updates, which streamline road trips. However, a persistent issue with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is noted, where the vehicle consistently veers into or hugs the left lane, sometimes unexpectedly activating the turn signal. While FSD made the long drive less tiring, this specific behavior was concerning and required manual intervention, a problem the reviewer confirmed with another Cybertruck owner. Despite the range loss and FSD quirks, the reviewer generally found the Cybertruck performed well on the trip.
