The actual range for the Tesla Cybertruck, whose design is still under discussion and is now on the road, was below expectations.
The results of an independent test of the Tesla Cybertruck show that the range in real road conditions is much lower than the official data. During a morning highway drive (largely at 113 km/h) in cold weather (8 degrees Celsius), the model managed to cover 409 km before the 123 kWh battery pack was completely depleted. The car was normally expected to cover around 511 km, but this was certainly not achieved in real conditions. A 5 hour and 17 minute video of the entire test can be seen below, with one person commenting, “This is not good. I would have expected a range of at least 434 km at this temperature.”
Before that, the vehicle made a splash with the glossy black version. The Tesla Cybertruck with a glossy black body, which you can see in the video below, was more appreciated because it hides the angular lines of the vehicle a little more. The vehicle was previously on the agenda about “swimming”. Tesla Cybertruck, like many electric car models, can easily float for a while in emergencies. But Tesla wants more, and CEO Elon Musk explains the next step in this regard:
“We will offer a mod pack that will allow the Cybertruck to travel like a boat in at least 100 meters of water. This will largely involve replacing the cabin door seals with better ones.” It is not yet known exactly when or how much this mod will be sold, but the “float” detail for Cybertruck has been on the agenda for a really long time.
