Tesla Cybertruck owner works out its range after driving 2,000 miles in Texas

A Tesla Cybertruck driver has shared the ‘actual range’ he gets after driving his truck around Texas for 2,000 miles (3,218km). 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Cybertuck has a range of 318 miles (511km), but, of course, that doesn’t mean motorists will get exactly that each and every time. 

There are a bunch of factors that can affect range, including how you drive, your speed, and even the weather. 

So, how does it stack up in real-life conditions?

The Cybertruck owner has driven just over 2,000 miles

With EVs enjoying a surge of popularity in recent years, many all-electric converts have been piling on the praise when it comes to their cars.

One guy even questioned why anyone would choose to drive a gas-powered vehicle. 

Others have revealed how much range they get, including this man who has racked up more than 50,000 miles (80,467km) in less than a year in his Cybertruck. 

And over in Houston, Texas, the man behind the MyGadgetsWorld YouTube channel has shared his average range after traveling around 2,024 miles (3,257km). 

In a clip shared back in January, he explained that he tends to drive at or around the limit and clocks up most of his miles on the freeway. 

He went on to say that the weather in Texas can be a bit of a mixed bag with ‘four different kinds of weather in one day’, but noted that most of his driving had been in cooler temperatures. 

So, what was the range?

Pulling up the data on the Tesla app, he revealed that across the 2,024 miles his Cybertruck had traveled, it had used 939kWh. 

He quickly crunched the numbers to work out that his range was 265 miles (426km) per charge – so a little less than its official EPA rating. 

The driver said that this was with mixed usage, including driving in comfort mode, sport mode, and off-road. 

He also stressed that this was during the winter time, so it may not be a full picture of how the Cybertruck performs across a year or more. 

“In summer I’m going to get better range out of it,” he said.

“But 265 is still pretty good for a truck like this and I’m pretty satisfied.”
