WE DROVE A TESLA CYBERTRUCK ACROSS THE COUNTRY! HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED

EV Channels Review

This episode details an ambitious cross-country road trip in a Tesla Cybertruck as part of a multi-EV race from Jacksonville to San Diego. The participants highlight the Cybertruck's surprising second-place finish, attributing it largely to the ubiquitous Tesla Supercharger network, despite its smaller battery and slower charging curve compared to competitors like the Silverado EV. Key challenges included the Cybertruck's unique charging initiation quirk (requiring a slight delay after plugging in) and the need for manual cable cooling hacks to prevent derating, saving an estimated 40 minutes to an hour. While the ride was comfortable in the rear, the front cabin was noted as loud at highway speeds. The reviewer emphasizes that this race pushed the vehicle to its absolute limits, far beyond a typical consumer experience, and that while the Cybertruck performed admirably under extreme conditions, its trip planner and charging curve require significant improvement for casual road trips.
