With a 320 mile stated range…
With a 320 mile stated range the Cybertruck may well be a Cyberfail. This is because it likely won’t have the range to make it between Superchargers when towing since SC’s are typically around 150 miles apart. All Tesla vehicles never get the stated EPA range that Tesla advertises. My new Plaid MS charged to 100% with 397 stated miles got me to a Supercharger 254 miles away with 7% and 29 miles left in the pack (so an actual Real World Range of 283 miles). I purposely drove the speed limit the entire way ending up with a 336Wh/mi average. 283/397 = 71% real world range (RWR) vs EPA range.
Extrapolating this out with the Cyberbeast version with 320 EPA miles, the RWR when new is 227 miles. Adding towing into the mix, we lose about 33% (VERY optimistic estimate in my view) of the pack’s range which gets us to 149 miles. Since the pack capacity degrades quickly over the first two years, we are now down into the 130ish range driving from 100% to 0% charge. In reality though, 20% should be the minimum charge you should be aiming for to make sure you actually get to the Supercharger because RWR varies, so you’ll only have about 100 miles of RWR when towing. Have fun charging to 100% every 100 miles. It will take you 2.5 hours with Supercharging to make that 100 miles at an average of 40mph IF there is no wait at the SC, you don’t have to unhitch your trailer and you can somehow get to the next SC that is 150 miles away with only 100 miles of range. Yes with the optional battery extender (if it even truly exists), for and extra $15K you can take up a third of your bed space and get your range up to 177 miles towing to zero percent or 148 miles to 20% charge but even that isn’t practical.
I have a CT reservation which I’m cancelling for two reasons. I needed the 500 mile fantasy range they originally advertised to realistically tow and the price increase that happened over the same time period every other Tesla model’s prices wer cratering, leaves me suspicious of probable price gouging.
My verdict: The Cybertruck IS a Cyberfail if you plan on using it as a an actual… truck.
