Idaho farmer gives his honest opinion on the Tesla Cybertruck after testing it out while at work

This Idaho farmer shared his honest thoughts on the Tesla Cybertruck after testing it out at work.

The Smiths, known as meetthesmithfamily on TikTok, have spoken out previously on using the EV for farmwork.

Braden Smith, the face of the channel, was asked about how the Cybertruck’s battery held up when it was powering a welder and plasma cutter.

He gave his viewers an honest and frank assessment.

What did this Idaho farmer think of the Tesla Cybertruck?

In his video, Smith explained that welding for an hour would use up just 9.6 kilowatt-hours of the Cybertruck’s 123 kilowatt-hours in the battery pack.

And let’s bear in mind that welding wouldn’t last for an hour, so a typical welding job would use less power than that.

“I’m not here to try to sell you the Cybertruck, I just thought this was kind of interesting regarding welding with it,” Smith said.

To explain all of this, he did some math on the side of the truck, writing in the dust.

This isn’t the first time that Smith has discussed the Cybertruck on his channel.

In a previous video, he was seen trying to convince his buddy to try it out for his farming needs.

And yes, he did the number crunching in his truck’s dust then, too.

Let’s put it this way – if you’re using your welding equipment for a full day, you’d still have enough battery power left to drive home.

After a hypothetical 10-hour welding job, you’d have 25 percent battery left to get you home.

That’s a lot of welding power to go around.

What can’t the Cybertruck do?

The uses of a Cybertruck can often prove to be quite surprising.

Sure, we all know it strikes an imposing figure when being driven down the road of a town.

But it also proves handy in other circumstances too – especially when it comes to towing, as demonstrated with this Rivian along a Colorado mountain road.

It can also be used to test other EVs, namely the all-electric Pebble Flow RV.

And yes, it can be charged with its own outlet.
