Question did you have regen braking on for any of the vehicles during this test?
@OutofSpecReviews Most/many trailers would cancel out any aero advantage on the truck itself, so a large capacity battery is “smart range" for a truck… though having both is great.
Cool results ,Kyle .
Its interesting that the Lightning Platinum has a range of 260 miles , yet the Lightning Lariat has a range of 282 miles , is that just to do with tyre size ?
Interesting that the Cyberbeast has 50 miles more range than a dual motor cybertruck. ,both with 20 inch wheels.
Thank you for having the site, for those of us that really just want the info & maybe a reader's digest version vs 2 hours of verbosity.
Ford Lightning - 281.7 miles
CyberTruck - 304 miles
Rivian R1T - 345.2 miles
Chevy Silverado - 433.7 miles
So which ones didn't run as far as advertised??? He said at the beginning which one actually ran as long as advertised
Only Cybertruck made it as far as advertised.
@@3dentertainment301Non of them achieved as advertised, but to be far I don’t know if EPA test are conducted at 70mph. I think the Rivian was the closest at 98% of advertised. I’m curious how much the added rock sliders effected the aerodynamic efficiency.
Oh bless you!!
It’s important to note that Chevy was least efficient, but has the largest battery, hence the longest range.
The massive generator and mobile DC charging station is an insane flex.
V2V would be awesome. Why don't we have it?
it could be a wonder business. opportunity idea too
@@iamalmostanonymousdoesn’t cybertruck charge v2v?
@@AR-rn8ok I'm thinking DC only without the needles conversion to and from AC.
@@iamalmostanonymous I saw it charging another vehicle.
“I can’t believe all the electric trucks I saw on the way home getting charged by a generator on the side of the road!"
You can’t park there!! 😂😂
Best part 😂 - and that ridiculous Rivian horn 😂
“Is this not a reasonable place to park?” 🚬🕶️
The person at 1:28:33 ... Their job was to say the total mileage, film in landscape and pull over somewhere safely. Failed on all counts. Jesus Lord have mercy.
Yehehe dats good stuff
Even for SCIENCE???
Another pertinent bit of knowledge what to do when u run out of charge…….. was a first for me
1. Keep manual handy
Purely because you revealed the results upfront, I watched the entire video in gratitude. Out of spec is the holy grail for EV enthusiasts, keep up the fantastic work!
Yup. Even after 200,000+ miles in BEVs, I've never ran out while driving. I've pulled into chargers with
💯
Same. I am at 130K over 6 years, and haven’t been left stranded. I also never ran out of gas in the 20 years before that. Still see lots of people walking with gas cans, even though there is a gas station on nearly every corner. The problem might be people, not products.
Driving on diesel…no worries. Still more efficient than burning it in a diesel engine that is in a truck.
Been driving bevs for 5 years and have never ran out. Range anxiety is so overblown.
You need to get a older Nissan Leaf… Turtles 🐢 will show up frequently.
The fact that the Rivian and CT did over 300 miles om highway speed is quite remarkable
Let's not forget the cybertruck did it while being a 7000lb, all steel, bullet proof truck with 35" off road tires that can go 0-60 as fast as a supercar... It's heavier, tougher, faster, more capable and at a multiple percentile disadvantage but still managed to over achieve it's range on the highway..
@@maximusjoseppi5904
They are both about the same weight and they had wheel covers on the Cybertruck
I'd say Rivian is more impressive, by far the youngest auto company yet it's not only competitive it's a leader in this segment.......hell was the 1st in the segment because Tesla lies about deadlines
@@theprfesssor huh? What exactly is it leading in? Haha. It isn't the best at anything? It can't do anything the other trucks can't do.. Tesla didn't lie, they simply built a vehicle unlike any other vehicle made that can do things no other vehicle does and it took longer to get to production due to it after covid... Not meeting projection isn't lying.
Rivian told everyone they were going to start production of the r1t in 2020, they lied by a year I guess with their cookie cutter pickup haha.
Rivian is also bleeding money from a main artery and losing tons...
Like just objectively speaking, I can't see where you're coming from other than just being a fan.
But you don't think the all steel, 48v, adaptive steer by wire, fsd capable, armored glass truck with 12" of suspension adjustment is more impressive?
@@theprfesssor Nah, not really impressive. Rivian has more battery and the most aerodynamic design. Cybertruck is less aerodynamic thanks to its cyberpunk design and it's also larger.
The fact that cybertruck with all that and all-terrain tyres could almost match Rivian's efficiency is a testament to Tesla's engineering.
Plus his Rivian is older
Dual motor Rivian with 2.63 mi/kWh efficiency and 345 miles of range is impressive.
Lol the Rivian is honestly the best one here. Drove one yesterday and damn it's good!
Yeah the Rivian is the best electric truck by some margin.
Yep, when it comes to cruising at 70 mph, the Rivian seems to be dialed in.
Rivian is the one that best accepts the limitations of an EV and maximizes what they have. The right size, features, and software to make it the most compelling (but not most capable) offering IMO. Can't wait for R2, I just hope they don't lose their soul and spirit.
Silverado is the only one even reasonably compelling to replace a gas half ton just based on battery and charging alone.
Is the r1s the same? Better or worse? That's what I would want. Hopefully Cybertruck becomes an suv some day too lol
For me, the biggest benefit of these tests is seeing how the vehicles behave right when they're near the end. Some EVs are "you have full power until about a mile before it runs out of charge, below 0% indicated" others are "slowly degrade power to the point that you may be able to go a further 15 miles beyond when it says you're out, but only at 20 MPH."
I'm definitely an "out of spec road trip" kind of person. Have put over 150,000 miles on five different EVs over the years, and have never been stranded on the side of the road.
Have three times gotten to a charger and not been able to charge - once was my own fault for misreading the Plugshare entry. It wasn't live yet (older EV with no live updates to navigation map, so it didn't know about *ANY* EA stations.) Twice were EA bugaboos. Both times, I had another full-speed option within reach. (Although one was "arriving on static" turtle-mode.)
I've definitely rolled in to a planned charge stop in turtle mode half a dozen times, though.
Yeah, this is very useful information. I dont own an EV but would like to have one. Right now I can't, and that is okay. I get to watch ans learn how they function, and when I can actually buy one things will only have gotten better.
I didn't even realize different makes wouls handle low charge different, but it makes sense this wouls happen unless some standard is implemented.
Great comment!
I can only imagine the internet memes that will be created with the diesel generator charging the EV trucks and the Cybertruck on the side of the road.
Bring them on!
Not exactly good publicity
Right ugh god I hope no one got pictures of them charging with a generator. The FUD is still so bad 😊
Diesels and EVs go together lol Edison motors proves it
What's wrong with using another power source to charge up a vehicle? Now we just need mobile superchargers for quick recharging in emergencies to get you to your best charging station. Lol
Not gonna lie. That R1T pulling the generator looks sexy af
Good job on being upfront about the summary of the results.

It's the opposite of that.. anyone who owns an electric car knows that outside conditions GREATLY effect the miles you get. E.g. when the sun isn't up and the wind is blowing in the direction you are traveling, temperature etc... this is only one test at different times of day, so there is very limited accurate data provided here.
@@lauren_mcgowanIt’s one test. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s valid.

Thank God for your timestamps, sir. This UA-camr is a āsshāt for not including them in a narcissistic 2-3 hour video.
I use to help build 1400 amp Diesel Generators for Weber Generators that were used for the motion picture industry. That setup is awesome.
this video is absolutely mental, I love it
It's kinda hilarious how they keep saying "Kyle's dead" or "Allysa died, she's on the side of the highway". I mean there's a better way to say this, but the fact that we would all say it exactly like this IRL is the best. Out of Spec Rocks!
I've got a Dual Motor Performance, Max Pack with 20"ATs. Just averaged 2.68m/kWh yesterday driving 197 miles Denver to DIA, 270, to 83, to Colorado Springs 55-65mph then COS back to Denver on i25 with Driver+ at about 78mph. Used 53% of the battery. Extrapolated that's 380 miles on a charge with the Max Pack. Super stoked on that drive. Not a full 70mph range test, but a real world drive with some solid results.
Love to see Kyle gush over how great the Lightning is to drive. It's not perfect, but it's a great truck.
And you can get them as basemodell with some miles on it for 50k
@@brunoheggli2888Low mile used standard battery models have fallen into the low-mid forties in my area!
1:38:25 - ⚠I freakin LOVE how seriously Tesla's Cybertruck takes it when the battery is on its very last leg. All that flashing to get you to take it seriously is so much safer than the way others did it. I wouldn't even be opposed to an audible warning saying to "Pull over safely as soon as possible", either. You can cause a serious accident at these highway speeds, then your battery dies, but there's no safe place to pull over. I safe place to pull over is very rarely a sure thing when driving. This was awesome; I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing the data and footage! If your max speed is 25, shouldn't have risked going up hill from there with no safe place to park. Should have pulled over and called it what it was. Where you stopped the Cybertruck definitely added some danger to the area, but it didn't seem like a busy offramp at least.
Dang! The Silverado really killed all others with that range 👀
With a 230 kwh battery... the lighting for example has a 130 kwh battery.
At 55MPH I’m sure the Silverado can break into the 500s
Easily
I just had lunch with some engineers, and it’s interesting talking trucks with them. The things they were inspecting in the cybertruck and excited about was so different than the way the rest of us see it.
You can't park there!📢🤣🤣
Amazing work to the team, this is really great info and it takes a lot of time/effort. Thanks!
Love to see real testing again! So many product unveils and traveling, glad to see more races and the tests.
What a great series this EV truck challenge is. Thank you all for taking the time to make the videos. I know it's a lot of hard work. But your passion shows through.
Great educational video as well as entertainment. This is one of my favorite videos. Good work OOS Team! It shows how much "extra" room there is (or opposite like the 6% on the Lightning) and what happens at that "tail end" of kick off.
Your mobile charger is what AAA needs. Very nicely done! Appreciate all the hard work.
#1 award for most helpful Video and I love stats up front.....real world range test....I just a Ruff neck that drives a model x waiting for my cyber truck
I didn't plan on watching the whole video, but I just couldn't stop 🤯. Awesome test! Great Video!
Big respect for delivering the data upfront.
New sub and watching the rest of the video now... excellent stuff.
I had the same Silverado EV as my daily driver for about 2 months, and it was amazing. Loved that truck.
Why did you get rid of it?
@@sleepy8137I was having too much fun leaving every other pick-up trucks in the dust. I got a couple tickets and decided it was time to end my fun (for now).
As a non EV owner what surprised me the most was at the very end of the film. He charged his Silverado to 25% and it cost him $19.50! I didn't know it was that expensive to charge. That seems pretty close to regular fuels costs.
Yes - public charging is on par with what you pay at the pump. Charging at home can be 1-3x cheaper for most people, or even more if you produce your own electricity.
Personally, I pay about 15¢/kwh at home, about 45¢ on public chargers. So 3x cheaper.
I pay 5 cents per kw at home... Massively cheaper than fuel. Like I am single digits dollars a month of budget vs over $100 for fuel when I had an SUV
So saving $1000 a year, take 6-10 yrs to break even?
As an EV owner, yes, I have been surprised at the cost of fast charging. So the aim is to charge at home as much as possible, where charging is substantially cheaper than buying gas. And most driving for most people most of the time, charging at home covers most of your driving. A little redundant there, sorry…
Don't apologize for long videos - I enjoyed every minute of it! I found Alyssa to be the most entertaining - hopefully she will consider participating in future tests...
Amazing video guys. One of the best tests filmed. Thank you so much to the entire OOS team.
Great job. Love to get the info and the cherry on top is all the OOS personalities interjecting. You guys love what you do and each other. And that makes it so much more entertaining.
Absolutely epic. Need to make a highlight reel of bloopers and one-liners.
Thank you for the numbers upfront. Makes it really easy to do comparison.
This is awesome! Thank you, Ryan for these charts 🙌
This is insane! Good job guys
I agree, the only way to do a range test is to drive it until it stops. Great idea to test these trucks simultaneously, some really good footage. I would appreciate more comment on the performance of the vehicles, after all you are driving long range.
Great test. Awesome job. Well worthy of a subscription
This a great test and content. You guys are the masters of details, total removing of disturbance variables that could skew the data. Many thanks EV nerds
Thank you Kyle - this is THE truck review I have been waiting for!! Would have been awesome if you towed the same trailer behind each one of them and measured range! You are the best at EV reviews!
Would be shocked (pun intended) if this isn’t in an upcoming video.
He said during part of the video that the towing test is coming. I don't blame you for not seeing it - at over 2 hours I skipped a good chunk of the video myself. :)
GM’s (Hummer etc) certainly respond after a cold boot by removing all power (12VDC). Cyber 48V death recovery procedure ties the GM for the EV’s never to run out in. The Rivian and Ford were the most graceful in their recovery. Nice editing👍🏼 2:14:59
That Silverado is a monster amazing range
Results up front!!! Thank you!! 🙌🙌
Great test! Thanks for the effort
Thanks for the data charts! I'll say that I'm not surprised by the efficiency numbers, but also, in defense of the Silverado EV, chasing efficiency in an inherently inefficient platform is a fool's errand. That being said, I still think the 3WT is the better balance. It might squeeze out a little better efficiency at 70 mph, but the benefit is with the additional payload and towing capacity. To me, the sweet spot for EVs is as much energy as you can squeeze into ~1,000 lbs for small cars and as much energy as you can squeeze into ~2,000 lbs for fullsize trucks. That should still leave enough overhead for 1,500-2,000 lbs of payload while still providing a realistic 350 to 400 miles of range.
Love these reviews range tests are more important now than ever with the world moving towards electric vehicles
There appears to be a 20% range benefit due to thinner air in CO compared to if these same range tests were done near sea level.
Interestingly the air density in Ft. Collins at the time of this test was about 20% less than that of the air density in Austin, at the time of that test. I calculated the atmospheric pressure Ft. Collins and Austin, and corrected for temperature. Amazingly the Cybertruck range test in Fort Collins was exact 20% better than the test done in Austin. 304 miles vs 254 miles.
I do realize that the entire test wasn’t done in Fort Collins but I used the Fort Collins elevation since I don’t know what the average elevation of this test was.
Air temperatures can be found at the Out of Spec Studios link in the video description.
Despite the difference between a sea level test, I still think these tests are useful, because we can compare the differences between vehicles. To convert these results to sea level, subtract about 10-20% off of the results. Great job Out of Spec⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
That was a great video! Very interesting data.
Just FYI, there's been a few times now where your mic is jammed between your shirt and neck and blows out the audio.
Dylan Loomis just did an excellent report on how the 4680 is ramping up in Texas. Meanwhile, Kato Road is closed down to retool production lines for test production runs of the 3rd gen 4680. More range coming for the Cybertruck.
Appreciate going over the facts and results before jumping into video
Nice work, OOS team! Last year, one of the British tabloids took one of Bjørn’s videos and twisted it into an indictment of EVs. I hope the Daily Mail/NY Post doesn’t follow suit with this episode.
Awesome work. Nerdy, extreme investment from everyone in the team - amazingly interesting results. Thank you!
I do appreciate the "TLDR" or results right at the start of the video.. I do like the long video, and total results... but we don't always have several hours to watch the video. I appreciate you not forcing your viewers watching the entire video to get the results. Thanks
Y'all put a ton of work and production into this. Really great work.
Aww, Ollie's so cute! We need an Out of Spec Dogs.
Awww, thank yo.... Oh the dog. Nevermind.
Really appreciate the results up front
Tesla should add a popup shortcut to transport mode when you get that low.
How about a battery conservation mode that lowers screen brightness and turns off non essential stuff. Like smartphones.
The dedication and hard work you guys put in is amazing.👏
The test finally starts at 38 mins.
Epic video. Thanks. Fascinating results.
Glad you guys didn't hit the Chrome bed trim piece I left between Cheyenne and Loveland the other day...
Can't wait for my Cybertruck!
Life long Wyomingite approves of your testing ;) "it's fine"!
Just one more, among countless other, epic OOS vids. 🏆
At 18:52 a Dodge Caravan disguised as the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters drives behind Kyle.
Kyle and team. Yall are madmen and I’m here for it. Keep it up.
Absolutely epic test.. The work you guys put in is amazing.. what an amazing result too... all did well.
Awesome video. Super exciting. Can't wait for more Silverado stuff.
You guys rock. This is great information!
Out of Spec is making the most elite EV content on UA-cam!!!! Love the vid
And that’s how you compare and that’s how a proper test is done. Not using them separately in different weather and terrain as it makes a big difference
Me watching it from UK: 1. They drive on the wrong side of the road, 2. They produce electric trucks?
What a great video, enjoyed every minute of it. I would have loved to be out there in my lightning with you guys. Keep the content coming!
Great test, Bjorn would approve
Thanks for the fast summary.
These results warrant a retest of the dual motor Cybertruck on your standard loop in Colorado. The Edmunds range test of the dual motor is another good data point as mentioned in the video. They don't do 70mph like you do, but 254 seems way low. Tesla may have also updated the efficiency ota.
Definitely need a retest and I mentioned it back in the Austin video, we don’t count official numbers unless they’re run on our loop
@@KyleConner looking forward to it! Such an interesting vehicle... divisive to people everywhere and in its own pros and cons. I thought I saw the Austin test data posted on the website. Definitely could be misremembering.... Keep up the good work! Looking forward to all the truck content coming up with these ~4.
Man Thanks for dropping the results at the beginning
i enjoy your review so much.
My favorite video so far.Very surprised with the range of the Silverado!
AWESOME CREW, loving it, stay safe and healthy, keep the content coming, :)
Isn’t it a little unfair to say the trucks aren’t meeting their EPA rating when doing a straight highway test? Isn’t the EPA range estimates based on combined driving, not straight highway range?
Single thing I loathe about these SMDH they always quote the epa combined numbers!
Example a large pack quad r1t on the at tires is rated for 274 hwy miles of range. The Ford lightning truck is 279 on the platinum spec hwy.
Ct is probably mid 270s with the ats for dual motor trims and 260s tri, maybe 290ish with the not yet released as tires. 🤔
@@4literv6 agreed. Edmunds just did a cybertruck range test but they do it a combined method and it hit 334 I believe (over its rated range).
The EPA range is pretty irrelevant for road trips where the range actually matters. @@4literv6
maybe a little unfair but honestly surprising on how close they get.
No, because they all have the chance to show how far off they are from the EPA numbers. To no one's surprise of course the Tesla would be the worst.
Great video! I have a 2023 Lightning. I absolutely LOVE it
Cool idea. Thanks
Awesome test. I think your best. So much fun!
Thanks for interesting data.
How do you account for battery age / wear between trucks? Batteries wear down with age and type of storage. Were all these new trucks or were some used a while?
The mobile charger with the rivian just looked so cool
Y'all make entertaining content w value added. 🙂
Awesome video guys! Really enjoyed it. I had a feeling that all the cybertruck range bashing was garbage. People jump to conclusions way too fast. According to this test, it performed awesome and was the only one that exceeded the EPA range (or whatever they use).
Thank you for the informative video
This was incredibly fun to watch. We definitely need Allyssa and Brandon on more range test videos. One question I had, is when Allyssa was nearing the end of the range in her Rivian, she was saying that she was keeping Driver assistance off to use less power. I would be very interested in watching a deep dive into this. Do these driver assistance systems actually use enough power to make a difference on your range? Thanks again for the incredible content!
Entertaining and informative 😮
Two observations.
1. That Silverado is a champ. If they can build and sell those at a competitive price point GM might be able to convert a good number of ICE drivers who have road trip anxiety.
2. Sorry Tesla fans, while the cars they build are technical marvels, damn they are quirky & the build quality looks like it was engineered by LEGO.
Great video Out of Spec crew!
Legos have great tolerances. I assume you mean the opposite.
The Silverado was the least efficient (in this test), which is especially bad as they were on the most efficient wheel/tire package. The Cybertruck was 25% more efficient on All-Terrain tires, which would make the Cybertruck ~35%-40% more efficient on similar wheels/tires. (I actually think the Cybertruck was the most efficient in this test adjusted for wheels/tires)
The Cybertruck has it's faults, it's styling is odd at best, and the shape makes imperfections stand out.... but the stainless durability (dent resistance) and rust resistance is really nice, if Tesla can get the price down a bit (they have reduced the prices of all their cars over time) it will be very compelling.
In terms of all round performance, efficiency, price, and availability today, have to say Rivian is the “winner” here. But all four vehicles have a lot going for them. It’s great to finally have some good choices.
I know the reviews from this channel is always long... but 2 hours still caught me off guard
at 2.5 M/KWH for the Cybertruck is seriously impressive. That was on A/T tires, the Rivian's 2.6 M/KWH was on A/S tires (Far more efficient). I would expect the Cybertruck on A/S tires to do AT LEAST 2.7+ M/KWH in this same test. (Rivian quotes ~13% reduction in mileage on A/T tires, which would put the Cybertruck ~345 Miles on 123 KWH )
The best Cybertruck will be the dual motor with the A/S tires. Which is quite comparable to the Rivian in performance and price, while also being a half-size bigger with a 1.5ft larger bed AND the stainless durability (if you can live with the odd-ball styling)
Shouldn’t you also do a mixed test for range and not only this highway test? E.g. the heavy vehicles don’t suffer at a continuous speed test, so it would be interesting if there is also “city driving” with acceleration and regen.
That was fun to watch
