TESLA CYBERTRUCK ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS, TX TO SALEM, VA

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a 1,200-mile road trip in the Tesla Cybertruck from Dallas, TX to Roanoke, VA. The initial leg to Tunica, MS covers approximately 500 miles. The reviewer highlights the Cybertruck's comfort and smooth ride, noting its quietness compared to other EVs. A significant portion of the review focuses on charging strategy, emphasizing the preference for V3 Superchargers (250 kW) over V2 (150 kW) and the importance of avoiding power-sharing stalls. The reviewer also discusses the Cybertruck's efficiency, noting it's less efficient than a Model Y, consuming around 450 Wh/mile on the highway, especially with headwinds and high speeds. The reviewer praises the Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability for handling the driving throughout the day, including navigating traffic and construction, though they did disengage it once for a particularly unsafe passing situation involving an RV. The reviewer also touches upon potential future vehicle purchases, expressing dissatisfaction with the current pricing of the Model X and finding good deals on used EQS SUVs, while acknowledging the value of FSD for road trips. The charging experience at the Hope, Arkansas Supercharger was adequate, though the charger seemed to overheat and couldn't sustain peak speeds. The reviewer plans to continue the journey to Brinkley, AR, and then to Roanoke, VA, providing updates along the way.
