A Tesla Cybertruck owner has revealed how many miles of range he gets after driving his truck for 50,000 miles (80,467km).
Interestingly, the Cybertruck in question was only bought by its owner in March this year.
However, he’s managed to rack up a serious amount of miles since then by traveling around the US and Canada.
But have all those extra miles taken a toll on his Tesla?

Has 50,000 miles had an impact on the Tesla Cybertruck?
Range is an important issue for EV drivers – no one wants to end up stranded on the roadside miles from a charging, do they?
However, thanks to modern advances in EV technology range times are consistently improving – a bunch of students in Germany even managed to create an electric vehicle that did 1,600 miles (2,574km) on just one charge.
Unfortunately, at least for now, that sort of range isn’t on offer on your standard EV.
The Tesla Cybertruck, for example, has an Environmental Protection Agency rating of 318 miles (511km) per charge.
But how does this hold up when you’ve cranked out tens of thousands of miles?
Well, YouTuber TesLatino has the answer.
He picked up his Cybertruck in March and has since put 50,000 miles on it.
In a recent video, he revealed that his nine-month-old 50,000-mile Cybertruck now gets around 309 miles (497km) of range – not too bad, right?
Range can differ depending on how the truck is used.
TesLatino used his truck for towing fairly often, which had an impact on its range.
He said he could get 120 miles (193km) of range driving uphill while towing, and around 163 miles (262km) driving downhill while towing
He went on to share that he’d used 25,628kWh when he hit 50,000 – around 513 Watt-hours per mile.
TesLatino noted that this seemed high but explained that he did most of those miles driving on the highway and that he likes to put his foot down. Fair enough.
All in all, he concludes that the Cybertruck is a good choice for someone looking for a versatile and durable truck.
However, he did go on to say that it might not be the best choice for someone who is planning on doing a lot of towing, given the pretty steep drop in range.
Fair enough.
