Tesla’s electric pickup is one of the most anticipated electric cars today, so it’s no wonder that special attention is being paid to the type and its capabilities. The Cybertruck is still fresh on the market and mass deliveries haven’t started yet, which could have been an unpleasant Christmas present for Elon Musk.
But in the last month of the year, a Cybertruck got stuck on a felled pine tree, and as it also recently became known, the charging properties on the current 400-volt supercharger bars are not the best. This is largely due to the Cybertruck’s 800V system, which requires this level to maximize its capabilities in this area.
As we have become accustomed to in recent years, the range that can be covered on a single charge has become the most important parameter for electric cars, just as consumption per 100 km is for internal combustion engines. In the case of the Cybertruck, this hasn’t been talked about much yet, but this has also recently been put to the test in the US, and the fact that it was done by private individuals makes it even better. The test can also be followed in the following video:
The Cybertruck included in the test had a 123 kWh battery in its belly and, fully charged, started on the highway at a fixed speed of 70 miles, which corresponds to 113 km/h in our metric systems. The all-wheel-drive Cybertruck prepared in this way ultimately traveled 254 miles or 409 km before stalling due to a dead battery. During the test, they drove exclusively on the highway and the outside temperature was around 8 degrees Celsius.
According to the current status, the factory range of the rear-wheel version with 1 motor, which is considered the basic model, is 402 km (EPA), and that of the all-wheel drive is 547 km (EPA). In the case of the brutally powerful Cyberbeast, according to EPA measurements, it is 515 km. It can therefore be seen that the range of the Cybertruck is somewhat small compared to the factory data.
However, it is also possible to purchase a so-called range extender for the Cybertruck. It’s an optional battery pack that takes up a third of the pickup’s platform. A Tesla vice president, Drew Baglino, confirmed that it is one “Toolbox Size” Battery, which takes up about the same space on the 1,897 liter platform.
