Would love to see you optimize the cybertruck battery usage somehow. Have you tire upgrades made it better in terms of battery consumption? How about self charging on the slopes? Would love to know more about that. It is so interesting!
Next gotta get a broke cyber truck. Do a cummins swap!❤ roll some coal on tesla cars. Then add some electric motors for the first diesel hybrid tesla and go millions of miles😂😂😂
You made cybertruck look a custom beast compared to stock silver truck. That's only thing I haven't liked about them. With it painted and proper offroad tyres its transformed. Avagud1

It’s never been power…..its range
They tell you not to use 20% of the battery most of the time on each end. Thats 40%
*Diesel cybertruck.*
@@1nvisible1 never gonna happen unless someone swapped it out
Diesel is just incredibly energy dense bro the cybertruck pulls harder maintains higher speeds but for way short distances because its energy density in the battery is low and it takes forever to charge up. The diesel takes off slower but when youre going 70 all day long across the country you want the range to be up there and the refill times to be quick.
That’s why I like Edison motors
If you really think about it… you beat him by a minute and 30 seconds but if this was a 400 mile test he’d have you beat by hours because of all the down time charging 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's kind of like comparing a Sprinter to a Marathon runner. Electric will win the short range sprint, but for a marathon, diesel all the way.
That rest and party time while he is still looking at a windshield
Like a landline to a cell phone in 2001. Wait a few years
@@mikeflanary642 EV technology has been being worked on for over 100 years and has come quite a ways, but as far as efficiency, practicality, and durability as of right now, the internal combustion engine is still king.
Well it wasn't a 400 mile test, Einstein
The 60% increase over the initial reservation price was the deal breaker for me.
So in 30 miles you use more electricity than you do in your house in a 24 hour period. That’s outrageous
And it’s still cheaper than paying for gas
@@bigb-mt6fn for the consumer I guess… you still have to charge it somewhere so the grid still uses that power
Yeah, and you wasted 80% of a gas heating your engine every time you drive, ICE efficiency is anywhere between 10-20% so 80 cents of a dollar burning for nothing, but that doesn't bother you.
@@oleksandrmokrohuz5182doesn't bother me 1 bit. Most people pay for not having the inconvenience of sitting around for 45 min to charge vs driving and only gassing up once every couple of weeks. Or the lack of mileage you get in the winter with EV's. Just my opinion but no way I'd go EV the way things are today. Too much of an inconvenience.
@@oleksandrmokrohuz5182 It's more like 30% and diesel can get up to 45%. The efficiency of an EV isn't 100% either, plus there is a lot of power loss in the generation and transportation of the electricity before it gets to the vehicle.
I wanna see a 500 mile race, with charges and gas stops included
I second that. Wouldn’t even be a race. The hour charge versus a 10 min fuel stop would kill it.
With Dave's truck I'm sure 500 miles is easily within the extended fuel tanks range, would even need to stop
In a 500 mile race, my mothers old 2004 Nissan Frontier with its dinky 4 cylinder engine will beat out the cyberturd
racing evs is stupid s fuck. even the mach e 3 1400 wasnt cool
@@douglasvanbrunt1734your mother's frontier wouldn't be able to pull that load. If it did it would use so much fuel you'd probably stop more than the Cybertruck
The face Dave made after taking a drink of that AG1 said the exact opposite of “it’s so good” 😂
They must pay very very well lol
Every UA-camr who promotes that crap doesn’t finish it and struggles to take one sip!
Ya buddy of mine says it’s disgusting and it’s always grimy no matter how much you shake it
I bough it , unfortunately . . No matter how healthy it is -- drinking stagnant pond water isn't worth it . Absolutely horrendous grimy , slimy and revolting taste / smell . Smells more like old pond water mixed with chinese industrial waste chemicals .
He was thinking of the drink but talking about the money
He looked like he was gonna gag 😂
I like how Dave is picking literally the only good thing the cyber truck is good at. Which is going fast. Which while towing is pointless. Doesn’t mention range, cost to re charge, taking off the trailer before recharging etc. etc. etc.
it cost like 20 bucks to recharge and it takes 20 to 25 mins
I’ve been driving the Tesla semi for work. Pretty amazing how well it pulls 80k pounds. Can’t even feel the weight behind you
I’m honestly curious about the curb weight of those. Do you have the same payload, or is it reduced to accommodate the weight of batteries. The reason I ask is that I saw that there’s a company building add on electric for existing trucks that adds 20k lb to the combination. Surely the Tesla isn’t THAT much heavier, but I’m curious.
Does it have steer by wire?
@@Aku6Soku1Zanyes it is steer by wire.
@@gregggriffith4795curb weight on the Cyberbeast is around 6,900lbs. Around the same as a Ford F-150.
So...what's the real range for the Tesla semi with a load?
I love how logical Heavy D always is about stuff. Like how he doesn’t try to act like EVs are perfect and it can replace all of his other vehicles but rather that there is a time and a place to enjoy both.
well he did invest 100ks if not mill into electric trucks they are ironing out legal shyt tho
Couldnt agree more.
Except he NEVER shows you the facts just reads them off when the camera is on him.
he got paid by tesla... then sold some crap energy drink... salesman first, entertainer second... fact finder last.
Yes....so true, cannot understand why some are all or nothing. I still love to ride horses......
Like California when they announced that they were pushing for the EV’s and then the next day they announced you can’t charge your EV between the hours of noon and 6 o’clock because we can’t support them. They just don’t make sense for everybody to adopt the infrastructure can’t handle it.
Values in these trucks are dropping like a rock. SO many buyers are already tens of thousands of dollars upside down.
Yeah problem is they are too heavy and destroys range limits
And the recalls, and the panel gaps, and the cracked roof, and the airbags, and the fact it can't climb, and the 4 year wait...
What data is showing their value dropping?
People that can afford these probably don't care that much about money.
@@jpoole23602 Good question - How would resale data be found? Doesn't Tesla require a buyer sign a binding "you must own this vehicle for at least 1 year" contract?
I wish these were a diesel driven hybrid like a train. Would solve the range anxiety
Check out Edison motors. They've got heavy truck hybrids figured out and are developing a replacement setup for pickups.

Love the point of view at the end. I think people need to embrace all things to allow technology to advance and with time we will have more capable EVs. I drive a Jeep truck daily and haul a small camper for trips. When I get a new truck In the next couple years I think the cyber truck is pretty awesome but wonder would it work for my real life situation? I have a suggestion: Both trucks towing something like a 3-5000k lb camper (same weight for both trucks) and average camping gear in the bed for payload. Have both trucks doing the same 500-1000 mile road trip emulating real world travel/camping with both making the same planned overnight stops. Driving the actual speed limit (not racing to the destinations). Just driving like you would on a regular trip while towing. Then break down all the math. The fuel truck: how many stops to fill up with total mileage/ fuel cost and time spent filling up. Ease to fill up. The Cyber truck: how many stops for charging, time spent, cost to charge and ease to find charging station… for a real life typical road trip (I wonder would charging in between destinations be easy or cause a lot of anxiety?) That way we can see fuel vs electric for a realistic travel towing situation. I am curious how they will compare in a typical truck use situation with some longer range travel and not just being loaded to the max and going fast. I also would love to see the features of both trucks while camping. Maybe there will be many pros and cons to both trucks! 🧐
Thatd be a solid video for sure.
That wrap on the cyber truck is sick.
It always cracks me up when people think it matters how fast you go up a hill. One and a half minute difference, then you meet at a stop light and pass them
What highway has a stop light?
I don't think that they think it matters, I think its more about how it feels because they have experience towing a lot of weight, so when they get in the cyber truck it has a different experience ( I haven't experienced it my self but I have heard people say that it is almost like you cant even feel the load you are towing with the cyber truck or other EV vehicle ) but give the EV technology time, I do think that it will get better, kind of like cell phones ( just my .5 cents )
Thats a long time to wait. Battery tech has been around pretty much as long as internal combustion vehicles have. Look where I.C.E. is and look where battery tech is. First battery was made by Alessandro Volta in 1800 while the first ICE was made in 1807 by François Isaac de Rivaz
One and a half minutes means that the Cyber Truck will make the green light, and the slow truck will not, and will have to wait for the red light.
@@FLPhotoCatcher doesnt matter because when you are charging your truck in 80 miles, you will have to make up 1 and a half hours to just get caught back up to the diesel truck. By then youll have to stop to charge it again. The diesel truck will only have burnt a 1/4 tank of fuel at that point. You can have your 1 and a half minutes, ill take my 1 and a half hours i make up when you are charging the effin thing.
Could you imagine spending half your gas to arrive a minute early?
Less than a minute! 😂😂😂
Towing stuff and driving hundreds of miles a day (especially in winter), two things most people aren't doing 90% of the time but we pretend like we do when comparing EV's to ICE.
4:55 Actually, electric motors have torque, from zero, to around the maximum rpm, a much broader torque range, than an internal combustion engine.
TFL tested the Cyber truck towing a 8000LB camper to test the range it went 82 miles before it needed to charge
And it cost less to refill the Diesel than Supercharge the Cybertruck and It took 5 min vs an 1.75hrs...
Great, sounds like you should get a different truck for towing, shocker that towing 4 tons on a battery drains it.
EV’s have their place, commuting daily to work. Thats about it.
Ev's are overweight junk . Good for ebikes and under 50 miles a day driving
@@theninja001 Right but tesla wanted you to buy this like a truck that can be useful.
Can the cyber truck tow ? Yes all the way to the end of the driveway and back 😂🤷🏻
the tech just isn't there obviously but we gotta start somewhere.. no need to hate
Hate ? Like all the poor people that purchased these and had instant problems ? Want me to post all the links ? And to pretend the range anxiety isn’t atrocious is just dishonest. The claimed range is crap and it’s final performance isn’t what it claims to be. Those are issues, not hate.
@@adamvalencia1413 I love how people like you call pointing out the obvious flaws in something "Hate". Grow up.
@@markadler8968 you can hate all you want but just making sure you're hating on all electric cars evenly. no use being a Tesla hater like anything doesn't have garbage range... its just where were at...all im sayin
I think Edison motors has created the perfect hybrid for tractor trucks. Hes working with another company i think making a smaller heavy duty truck hybrid.
Much respect for what you said at the end. Lots of “truck guys/oil heads” don’t get this important point about embracing new technology for the advancement of society. Nice video. Love my dual motor AWD cybertruck as well!
It's never been about power or range, it's the design...

Do a test where you tow the cybertruck using a tow strap (all four wheels on the pavement) using the 5500 at highway speeds and see how long it takes to get a full charge using only regen braking, and how much diesel the 5500 uses doing it.
That would be awesome and show how fast the breaks wear out 17:54
@@christopherjohnson520regen braking doesn't use brakes, it just spins the drive motors the other way to generate power
This is a bad idea. You shouldn't tow evs
@@trentlutek2673 Why would it need to spin the other way?
@@jamescreekmore3855 Depends, the supposed "dangers" of towing an EV is simply over charging it if you tow them long enough on a full battery. But that only really applies to very old EV's (or very very cheap ones) as most modern EV's just open the circuit when the battery is full or near full.
Which basically means the motors turn freely without resistance and without generating power. It's also the reason why you lose regenerative braking when on full battery.
So no, it's not a bad idea, not with a Tesla. At least not more so than flat towing in general, though with EV's you also don't have to worry about damaging the drivetrain on AWD variants, like the case with most ICE cars.
I would like to see it loaded with about 2000 lbs of tools, wire, parts or whatever. Then drive it around town and the suburbs all day to see what kind of range it would get. I definately love the teck and the performance of this thing and I have one on "pre order" but I want to know what it can do in the real world for a service based electrical contractor.
Why on earth would you ever want one of these as an electrical contractor? Even a regular pickup isn't the best vehicle for your business and a Cybertruck is far more impractical/unreliable than a regular pickup. You could have a fully kitted out sprinter/transit for less money and it would be 100x more practical.
@markadler8968
My service truck is a Ram 2500 cummins with a Miranda box on it with my tools and and materials in it. It's by far the best option for me as the box with its kit can be easily swapped out on to another truck. The fuel economy isn't horrible for somting its size and weight. The 4x4 in winter is a nessassary as I don't have time to shovel out parking spots down town.
I have a Sprinter as well. I'm dissipointed with it. It's really expensive for what is, basically a high roof regular 2 wheel drive delevery van. Out of the fleet the sprinters have the worst maintenance record. They are really bad in the winter as far as getting in and out of snow banks.
I also have an E-Transt. It's head and shoulders over the sprinter as far as toughness and technology go. The bolt in points on the Transit are far more solid than the sprinter. The sprinters racking actually pulled the factory nuts right out of the ribs. The transit also requires virtually no maintenance. It's only MAJOR downfall is the range. In good weather you get 250kms in cold winter conditions that gets cut in half.
My Ram is a Long Horne so... it costs what it costs, my truck, my toy I don't care 🤣 .
A new Sprinter base model is around 70k about what I paid for the E-Transit. If I got a base model Ram it would be around what the sprinter is but 4 times the truck. The Miranda box is a one time cost so I don't count it in equation.
In my experience the Sprinters were ok back in the day when they were 500$ a month as that offset the ridiculous MB maintenance costs.
BTW, get rid of all of them before the warranty is up. Especially the Sprinter, they can generate horrific repair bills.
@@greggardner3154 That still doesn't change the fact that the C truck is hugely impractical for work use. How exactly are you planning on putting a Miranda box on a truck with a bed like the C truck?
@markadler8968
Not planning to put a Miranda box on the Cyber Truck. As my business has evolved I probably don't need the cargo space of the Ram that much. I spend more time runnig to jobs to help out my guys, doing estimates, PR with clients etc...
I could comfortably get by with fewer items than I halul around now.
The CT would probably almost pay for itself in fuel savings and no maintenance. I really appreciate the E Transit for that aspect.
If I can get 350 to 450 kms a day out of the CT it would be an excellent option for me. I would still keep the Ram for long trips and trailer hauling.
Both the Etransit and the Sprinter are not good for towing. Never even tried it with the ETransit as we all know how horrific that would be. The Sprinter is barley adequate to carry the stuff in it. Towing a trailer boom with it was no fun at all.
I think it all comes down to what you need it for. If the Etransit hand a 400km range in cold weather, the Sprinter would have been gone long ago.
@@greggardner3154 I've seen some of those fast charging bills, cheaper to buy an inexpensive gasser to run around in.
Now do a test going down the hill. See how much the battery charges up. And see how much diesel fuel refills in the tank.
I’d appreciate you sharing details on getting 37’s on that CT. Spacers? Lift? Cutting some trim?
What killed it for me was the first time I saw one in traffic and realized its just a used refrigerator bolted to an EV 😂
80 mph towing a vehicle is crazy, could end up in disaster.
It was irresponsible, he should have done a more normal test, eh kids.
Great info. Thanks. Enjoyed it.
This is exactly why it needs a much bigger battery pack. Could you do the same test with a Silverado EV? Great video.
*You're losing at least 15% range with those bigger wheels and tires.*
Yeah but he thinks he is 200% cooler looking when going down the road so in his mind it makes up for it.
he must be accounting for that because 80-40 does not equal 30 or 25
Junk
Yeah. This regard ruins the car with ridiculous tyres and then proceeds to "test" the truck.
it's also illegal and a good way to induce road rage.
Heavy D said go and took off while Dave was petting the dog and then took his time while taking off.😂
Thats what I seen too.
Slowest take off ever
The Ram was that slow he could have made a coffee while patting the dog.
It's called editing. Checkout the clip @ 14.10 its about 1 second between them.
Why race them though, just run them normally, at legal speeds and give a better test for the range like this. See he did it the way a kid thinks, not yet a man.
Best head to head review I've seen so far. I'd like to see more about HWY travel in the rain and handling on ponding on the roadways.
The Fast Lane did a non biased review pulling a trailer, it made it 85 miles before being out of charge. It cost more to recharge the cybertruck, than it did to refill the Diesel.
You’ve either never paid to refill a diesel truck or you’ve never charged an electric car.

@@TheAnnoyingBossi tell you hhhwhat
@@zakfox555 💯🤓
I'd like to know the exact numbers for the kwh consumed on the hill climb itself. As well as the fuel consumption of the Cummins. The efficiency numbers are really interesting when you break them down.
The CT has a 123kwh battery pack. Diesel fuel has an energy density of 37.95kwh per gallon. The CT has an equivalent energy of 3.24 gallons of diesel fuel on board. Based on your stated consumption of 1.2kwh per mile, that's equivalent to 30mpg diesel. Total distance be damned. That efficiency is still crazy good.
Math is fun, kids!
You should try to figure out how many kilowatts the 5500 used to do the same work. I bet it would be interesting results.
Don't know why everyone thinks they have to do 80 towing a trailer. That's where you lose efficiency let alone it's not safe. So if this ain't practical then it's not a fair review.
It’s the only thing a Cybertruck could beat the Ram at. It loses at everything else. As far as towing.

Towing races seems like a weird test. The end of the video sounds like most other EV owners argument "Once the infrastructure is there"...that could realistically take decades
Everyone seems to forget all these charging stations get their power from mostly fossil fuel power plants. There aren't enough power plants now to supply the power needed, and they aren't building any new ones lately. Where is all this power going to come from? Renewable energy is a joke. What happens when there's no wind blowing that day? What happens when it rains for three days? Solar panels are only 35 percent efficient! EV's are the biggest scam on the American public. People need to do their homework and find the answers themselves and not just take the word of some politicians!
"Once the infrastructure is there" is the counter to all the people long distance hauling motorhomes as "daily driving"
They are bouth arguments used to cover the fact that the people using them have no idea what they are talking about
One thing we can count on in this life is Change. Either embrace it or not. Choose wisely. I choose to embrace it. That truck looks like a s**t load of fun.
I seriously love these guys! The absolute epitome of family, brotherhood, and the American dream! Look how God has blessed them! Much love man and keep it going! 🇺🇸🫡🤝
The best thing about that truck is its towing hitch. So you can tow a diesel generator to extend the range. I wonder if you can charge it while driving?
naw, as soon as anything plugs in it shuts down the power... maybe theres a way to override that with some engineering but as it stands, no
Then every time you saw a black plume coming down the highway you could say here comes a cybertruck.🤣🤣 They're so cool all electric you know.
@@jessesteeltown There is, people have made battery trailers out of old EV packs and hooked them up to their EV's to extend the range. You bypass the charge port so it doesn't think it's being charged.
Edison makes a diesel electric conversion kit for trucks. Converting your old square body into something with far greater range and way higher torque than most anything else on the market.

Next test go cross country to visit Whistling Diesel. Show us the trip plus Cody’s 2 cents when y’all get there 😜⚓️
It's about range and recharge times...that's the issue everybody is having with the electric trucks and cars for that matter. It's probably fine around town for short hops if you can get back home in time by the evening to recharge it.
The people who don't care about range because they can charge at home....those are the millions of people EV's are perfect for. Even when counting road trips, the average american drives 39 miles per day, or 14,000 miles per year. 270ish miles of range for $6 is hard to beat. Also waking up to a pre-cooled or prewarmed and charged car every day is pretty sweet as well. For towing or long distances over 400 miles a day, don't pick an EV.
This kinda feels like a sales pitch from a guy that just bought an ev company.
Neat, didn't expect this from a diesel fan. Defiantly a place for both in the garage.
Cybertruck killed it. Again.
Now do the cost of running a supercharge vs cost of diesel to fill the 5500, over that hill trip.
The Fast Lane did a much better challenge, check it out, way better details, it actually cost more to charge the Cyber than refill the diesel.
He charged it at home. Even though they didn’t go far it would cost more to fill the diesel than to charge the Cybertruck from 0-100%.
@@michaeldahle9484 Earth to you, pulling a trailer the cybersuv only made it 86 miles . So it would have to charge 4 more times to do what a diesel can. Do you understand yet?
That’s interesting. I just pulled a 24’ trailer 144 miles to my destination in a Cybertruck. I guess not all towing is the same.
If you are towing for long distances then any electric truck at this point is not the best option. However the CT is very capable of doing the towing of the majority of people. If you don’t like the CT don’t get it, but don’t kid yourself thinking it’s more expensive to operate than a diesel truck.
@@michaeldahle9484 I'm just stating the facts from the video, the Supercharger cost them more to charge than it did to refill the diesel. I understand its just one example, but it's a very interesting video. Since you own one you will probably find it interesting.
Need to get ahold of Dave... Some friends of CLEETUS is stuck in Utah.. Had bad accident on a SXS had to have emergency surgery on his spine... He needs to get home but can only do it laying down... Race Rebuild Repeat is their channel.. Just throwing it out there if yall can do anything to help
Sending love and prayers 👊❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
When trying to go viral fails! SMH.
Was that the guy that was stealing from SxSblog?
p-diddy couch makes you own a helicopter?
The guys that ripped off sxsblog?
True , to advance is great , so many try to stop advancing, eg fibreglass roofing is one hated by felters
I really like the knowledge and testing you put together to show what a cyber-truck can do. I would have to have two other vehicles powered by fossil-fuel or vodka for back up. 😄
I think a cool test would be hauling long distance, as in crossing multiple state lines to see which does it better over the course of a few days
Definitely not a hotshot truck
the tea is obviously not there yet... were 10 years away from having good electric long range vehicles but we gotta start somewhere... this is called innovation and we should be celebrating an American company innovating not looking for ways to tear them down... be a real American lol
@adamvalencia1413 For starters, I support and own a Tesla. My suggestion had nothing to do with tearing down the company, I don't know how you get that from it, but... they asked for ways to test the truck and an endurance test, plus seeing availability of both parts in case of a breakdown and power supply is a legitimate way of testing. Also, what does tea have to do with anything?
@@adamvalencia1413 well fkn said! Made in TX by Americans in an American made factory! That also happens to be the world hq for the world's true ev sales leader an American company=TESLA! And tesla operates the 2 most efficient automotive plants in the world by sq footage for 3+consecutive years NOW!
Safest evs in their segments, most efficient and highest performing per dollar. Batteries built in America, motors made in America.
By parts content the tesla lineup are all in the top 10 most American made vehicle's!
Hate on them but don't lie about who made them and what they are capable of. Also for every $1 spent charging an ev? Over .70c stays in our economy vs ice re fueling has over .60c of each dollar spent go to various countries, some of which would love to see the U.S. destroyed!
So more evs means better domestic energy security as well as air quality! 😎👍🏻
@@kinggamerismHe’s a 🤖. Writing this on every bad review.
The bigger tires really make it look alot better!
I believe most the hate the Cybertruck gets isn't from torque or power. It's from its overall looks and range compared to "normal" gas and diesel trucks.
Best, honest test I have seen. GJ!
Our country couldn't even begin to support a full on charging station loadout. Hell, Comifornia alone can't begin to have enough juice to run enough charging stations. These people pushing it are out of their damn minds and are just ignert.
Elon doesn't miscalculate.
Have been watching a few CT videos lately what is abundantly clear is the range is nothing short of rubbish. If Tesla can get range anxiety sorted will go a long way to being accepted by more folks.
What u said in the end made my day. Thanks!
Heavy D, this is Sparky. Have you thought about Solar Panals on the truck to help with your power distribution during the day you can be using the power of the solar panels to propel the truck or use the Solar Panals to charge the truck while it’s sitting
Time for yet another HeavyDSparks commercial .
Such a confidence man .
So shocking a UA-cam channel would try to make money...oh wait, that is the whole point of UA-cam
The only thing more ridiculous than the Cybertruck is the amount of hate it gets
Nope the ridicule it's the overhype and uselessness of It! Why are they trying to proove comparing it to a diesel?! The Ford f350 used for tugh test in the tesla release can tow over 10,000lbs than the 800hp tesla and it has only 350hp diesel max
Yes it can go the hill accelerate very quickly but at which cost?! Diesel or ICE are like antelope they work 24/7 don't need 0-60 and they tow much more.
Imagine a 800hp diesel vs 800hp electric! The latest 500hp Ford f450 literally can tow 40,000lbs
I enjoyed the video "select the right tool for the job".
Finally a person that you can see that loves gas/diesel vehicles with an open mentality "You don't have to choose one or the other" I have a Ram 2500 and just getting a Tesla Model Y, posted on a Facebook Tesla group and some trolls when ballistic on me, one of then even insinuating to kill me. Excellent video and excellent data on real world comparison.
Lol people are ridiculous. I don't get why some people are so defensive against EVs as if they are protecting gasoline like a religion. ITS JUST A VEHICLE.
Soooo, all you need is a nuclear reactor on the trailer to provide backup power.
The best upgrade for the truck is to add more battery capacity capable of doing a trip across a state on a single charge. That would make the cybertruck truly a menace on the roads.
Just add a gas motor...all problems solved
More battery = more weight = less range. It's a matter of diminishing returns and why trucking will NEVER EVER EFFING EVER go electric. You eat up weight limit per vehicle just to go a tiny bit further, and the distance it can go ISN'T ENOUGH. It will never make sense or be feasible. And the biggest problem is that the rare earth metals, etc. will never be available EVER AND FOREVER at an amount to take over ANY vehicle category EXCEPT foofy boutique hotrods with questionable quality and severe safety issues.
@@thisis3379
Nope. You can add a fuckton more batteries before hitting diminishing returns. The Cybertruck has a relative small battery, could easily double without adding too much weight. The cost would be an issue though.
And batteries are getting better fast. Cost is falling and energy density is increasing. And that's before major breakthroughs that are also coming. Dozens of new battery types are in development that promise several times more range, and only one have to succeed to wipe out ICE for good.
@@thisis3379 Everything you said is true to a very small subset of trucking: 500 mile + trips where the driver doesn't stop at the legally-required rest intervals.
There is a much larger chunk of trucking that moves things less than 100mi/day and electric will save those companies an insane amount of fuel costs, aka one of their biggest expenses
The Tesla truck that was at Cerro Gordo last weekend was a beast. You would have loved it. And yes, it pulled a Scamp all the way to the hoist house!!!
And like Matts’s off road recovery, get to work on time 7;30 am, and editing show in each video when the team clocked in for the day. It make us all better for it, work is a choise, love of what you do every morning sets what you do in life for success. If you don’t like every morning, then find another line of work that inspires you. Heavy D could be a king maker ( next generation) like john Stewert, but he is not there yet. All the best.
Wow! $120k for a truck that I can only use as a truck for less than 100 miles? 😂😂
480 miles a charge
@fuzzo8483 Not when you're pulling a trailer and actually USING the truck as a truck. It's only that just driving it normally. He literally said he drove 65 miles and went from full to 25% left with his trailer attached. There's also other UA-cam videos of people offroading it, and it gets shown out by a 30 year old truck, and they only made it 86 miles from full to 5% pulling a camper down normal highway.
It's not about speed it's the distance plus how many stops would be needed to get the same distance the diesel would go. Drive a 1,000-mile with the trailers on both trucks to see which one gets there first. cost of fuel, time etc.
The diesel will be there in 2 stops of fuel
How far can the diesel go on 3 or 4 gallons of fuel while towing? That's about all the ct has in total energy capacity as diesel is 37.9kwhs per gallon in total energy and the ct pack is just 123kwh useable. Limit the diesel to that amount of energy and the ct is gonna beat it easily! 😀👍🏻
Hello Mcfly @@4literv6
The price and lack of range that was advertised is why I canceled my reservation.
As this thing always looked to me like the polygonal radar deflection bodies, Ima need you to mod the rear with some jet afterburners, and see about LVMT options.
We just saw this Cybertruck parked at the airport last Saturday. My kids were so excited. We had no idea whose it was. It made our weekend. They got pics by it. Well done.
I'm an over the road truck driver and I hate rentals. Mainly because of all the sensors and notifications while driving in inclement weather. How is the Cyber truck in snow, cloudy day, night, and/or rain? More often than not, all those at the same time, lol. Penski rental trucks will sometimes slam on the breaks with a collision warning screaming at you on the display and nothing is actually there. Dose the Cyber truck does the same? oh, love the show!!!!
The Bolt On Brothers! Lol.
I want to see you do this same test on a cold below freezing day in January after the truck has sat out unheated on a driveway all night.
1) Howe many sheets of plywood can you load into the bed of the cyber "truck" compared to the Ram? 2) If you completely max out the battery of the cyber "truck", how do you get a container of electricity back to the vehicle so you can get home? 3) How long before the battery of a cyber "truck" gives out and needs to be replaced, and at what cost? The Ram will keep trucking past 300,000 miles or more, depending on how well it is maintained.
Lithium batteries can be cycled thousands of times. Tesla is warranting the battery in their electric semi's for a million miles.
1 million mile club they probably have trucks with higher miles
@@Thegrowerofthegreens They might be in recyclable in theory but there is hardly anyone out there doing it. Tesla's semi warranty is meaningless because they have only produced a measly 100 trucks so far.
Thats what they said about plastic and now 97% ends up in landfills and oceans. if it's cheaper to make new than to recycle as with plastic you'll just have tons of chemicals sitting around until we send it overseas are just dump it in the oceans ourselves. doesn't sound very green to me. @@Thegrowerofthegreens
@@markadler8968 cycled as in drained and recharged. I wasn't talking about recycling.
You concluded that there's room for both. You really should remember that most of us can't afford much of either... Let alone both
A small city EV yeah to get you from home to work and back and maybe some grocery shopping during the week, I'm all for that as a second car, but for a family car or a truck, no thanks. And will likely remain, no thanks, because the batteries will remain "bad" for the foreseeable future. Hydrogen fuel cell cars seem to have a better future ahead than pure battery EVs, they already have the range, and refilling also takes just a little bit longer than normal ICE cars.
Don’t forget Tesla should have the extended range battery by the end of the year and if you don’t go nuts and tow “casually” you should have 150-200 drive range - at 65 that’s a 3 hour drive which is a perfect time to stop for restroom or grab some coffee or a bite to eat. We own teslas many years and just go anywhere with them. The only adjustment is that when we need to stop for restroom/etc we stop at a supercharger. By the time we’re done the Tesla adds enough energy to pull us way beyond what we’ll need until the next stop. We actually NEVER wait for a supercharger. We always need to do something (eat/drink/etc) while it’s charging.
Nice take off the dodge didn't even try
The fix was in.
I know those have power but the power it takes to get you where you gotta go I feel like I would get anxiety for stressing out when and where I gotta get another charge lol. Electric is great for light travel in my opinion but you definitely won't be taking that off-road to the hills. Nothing beats gas or Diesel👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎
Tesla have chargers in most places it seems now. I see em at gas stations in my area now lol. Rivian now has access to that charger network, so less range worries there too.
Sure you can just don't tow a heavy trailer.
@@jacobdwiggins9876 Yeah if you want to wait 30-45 minutes to recharge every time. Only takes 1-2minutes to refill a normal truck
@@jacobdwiggins9876Let see if someone dare to travel to their EV to the off grid cabin in the forest at winter 😏
I say Dave Sparks "will" definitely be taking his "Cyberbeast" off-road to the hills! In fact, he will probably be doing some off-roading in his next video. Naturally, he won't be towing anything with it off-road.
They should build like a dynamo style rotor motor to recharge while running charge and use at the same time it would be nice a couple of alternator wired up to recharge it while spining
It’s AWESOME 👏
Great video!!
They should make a cyber trailer for the cyber truck
I should do that
so add more weight in batteries. Will not be able tow any real weight
Add regeneration to the trailer wheels
@@joshstewart1869 brilliant
@@joshstewart1869 the motors are the regen. Would need motors on the trailer wheels, at least 2. Still likely cheaper than a battery.
