Also, the charging speeds are below par, but on the flip side, the sound system is awesome and the car is “a dream to drive.”
Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles::Also, the charging speeds are below par, but on the flip side, the sound system is awesome and the car is “a dream to drive.”
This is a frankly baffling comparison. I don't think I could think of 2 more different vehicles if I tried. Believe it or not, range is not the only thing people consider when purchasing a vehicle.
It's a truck, meant to tow and haul loads. If this is its range unladen then it's hauling range is 50% or less of this range. Meaning a full charge gets you 82-103 miles, which makes it nearly useless as the thing it's supposed to be: a truck.
But Tesla specifically marketed this as a fully capable truck, which it is not. The F-150 Lightning gets the same range towing as the Cybertruck gets with no cargo.
Can we stop pretending people buying this monstrosity are going to use it like a farm implement. Lmao! Best chance of seeing one of these in the wild will be at a golf course clubhouse.
Can we stop pretending like literally everyone who owns a truck is just gonna use it to commute to the office and shuttle kids to soccer practice?
Like you do realize there are people who actually do need trucks? Ever driven by a construction site? Ever had a lawn service come through your neighborhood? Or an HVAC service tech? I mean the list goes on...
Feels like gas mileage peaked in the early 90s. Geo metro was only 3 cyl and sipped gas. my lil 92 eclipse for over 45mpg highway, i don't even think it was rated that high.
I regularly get 43-46mpg highway with my 4 cylinder TLX, drops off like crazy atoms town though.
I agree that economy peaked In the 80’s-early 90’s, but if you take into account how much bigger, and heavier cars are today, we’re not that bad. Also, a lot of weight and size goes towards the superior crash safety in modern cars.
Probably in the early '00s but I mean that's completely unsurprising considering the strides we've made in safety, comfort, and most importantly emissions since then.
