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 irrelevant if you need a truck. Neither one of those is picking up plywood from home depot for example.

      Okay. The F150 Lighting has a range of 240-300 miles per charge, and an MSRP starting at $50k, compared to the cyber truck starting at $81k.

        Yeah, not saying I even like the cybertruck (I don’t), just that those other evs as re not comparable in any way other than fuel source.

      Give me a break. Aint no roofing contractor or excavating company using these things as a work vehicle. If you want to see one visit the parking lot outside forever21. But thats kinda the point right? So mortgage brokers can cosplay as blue collar but also look cool for the valet. As a remodeling contractor my truck is an ugly shitbox with a solid drivetrain I maintain myself. Why a shitbox? Because its covered in thinset mortar, paint, dryall mud, and is scratched all to shit from hauling materials to the job and construction debris from the job. The type of person driving these things wouldnt piss on a working man if he was on fire.

        Who said anything about contractors? I’m currently watching the ev truck market because I diy a lot of shit and hate having to rent a truck to buy plywood. These aren’t for contractors.

          It’s cheaper to rent the truck and plan your trips well. Hell even better, rent a work van since they can fit more in general.

      It’s not irrelevant. The two cars I compared it to are smaller, yet they go further at much less cost. To me that sounds like the Cybertruck is way too heavy.

        My God the comments in this thread are fucking ridiculous. It’s completely irrelevant because they’re 2 completely different use-cases and if you legitimately can’t see that, you’re literally delusional. But I’m fairly confident you can and are simply being deliberately disingenuous.
