A Tesla Cybertruck owner completed an electric truck test by hauling a 3,100-pound payload, demonstrating how well Tesla’s controversial truck performs under real-world conditions.

Over 120 miles, the Cybertruck’s air suspension leveled the load automatically and kept the ride controlled.

Regenerative braking reduced wear on the physical brakes and helped maintain range.

The trip ended with minimal energy loss, confirming that Tesla’s truck can handle serious payloads with ease.

Tesla Cybertruck owner proves real-world capability

Joel Nashett, a Tesla Cybertruck owner, shared his experience in the Cybertruck Owners Only Facebook group.

He loaded 2,700 pounds of pavers into the bed and placed another 400 pounds in the frunk before setting off.

The truck squatted briefly, then leveled itself out and remained balanced throughout the journey.

This hands-on electric truck test demonstrated what the Cybertruck payload system can handle with no fuss.

Despite the total weight, Joel reported that the vehicle maintained strong range and that regenerative braking reduced the need for using the standard brake pedal.

He emphasized that his previous Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 would have struggled with the same load and required a second trip or a trailer.

The Cybertruck did it in one pass, without mechanical stress or discomfort.

This experience added to a growing number of reports from Cybertruck owners using the truck as a true work vehicle.

Many users responding to Joel’s post shared their own frustrations about public doubt surrounding Tesla towing and hauling strength.

These results make it harder to argue that the Cybertruck is just a tech object rather than a utility tool.

Perception Shift for Electric Trucks

With more owners performing their own electric truck test scenarios, public opinion around EV pickups is beginning to change.

The Cybertruck has shown that it can manage high payloads while keeping control, stability, and range intact.

It is not only performing well in isolated cases, but also consistently delivering results in demanding real-world use.

Tesla towing has often been questioned when it comes to long-distance trailer hauling, but tests like Joel’s reveal that hauling heavy cargo in the bed is far less taxing on range.

When paired with regenerative braking and air suspension, the Cybertruck payload experience is more efficient than many expected.

What makes this electric truck test particularly valuable is that it comes directly from the owner.

There is no filter, no staged setup, just straightforward usage and honest reporting.

The more people use their Cybertrucks for actual tasks, the more complete the picture becomes about how Tesla towing and hauling performs day to day.

The EV truck segment is evolving quickly, and the Tesla Cybertruck is at the center of that shift.

Joel’s experience helps bridge the gap between electric promise and real utility, showing that a Cybertruck payload of 3,100 pounds is not only manageable but surprisingly unremarkable in the best possible way.
