Larger tires roll more easily over obstacles and "raise" the effective "gear ratio" so fewer engine - or motor - revolutions are required per mile. They're also not automatically heavier than smaller wheels/tires. Particularly if the wheel diameter "grows" and the tire sidewall "shrinks" relative to overall tire diameter.

@deeremeyer1749 2 ай бұрын

You "gained range" because "range" was recalculated when you were stationary. Batteries always "recharge" slightly when load is removed because reduced current flow means reduced heat and reduced internal resistance. Which is present in ALL batteries and must be "overcome" before any useful battery output is "created".

Fun Fact: If you're trying to hyper optimize an EV, standard cruise is often more efficient than manual driving. Adaptive cruise uses additional sensors for safety and is still more efficient for highways with any traffic, standard cruise only maintains speed with optimal efficiency. I've been able to greatly extend the range of many models of EVs using this. Even with -20 degree fahrenheit weather I've only had climate controls use 3-5% average with heated seats, steering wheel, and all comfort options on.

I have a few questions that weren't answered. One is, they appeared to have electricity at the ghost town. Could you not have used a regular 120V charger overnight to regain some range? Also, you are driving up into the mountains. Do you really need to conserve 50% power for the return trip? you'll regenerate a lot on the way back down. Also, those tires are going to reduce the range, just like large tires will reduce fuel economy on a gas car. It isn't fair to expect it to get factory range numbers after these modifications anymore than you'd expect a gas car to get factory fuel economy with large tires.

@sprinkle61 2 ай бұрын

Fair points, but they didn't harp on the range being below advertised as being something they were mad about anyhow, as it wasn't the point of the video. Plus to be fair, a stock Cybertruck evidently can't offroad quite as well as Elon says it can lmao. With that said, I think it's a pretty cool truck, with a lot of (fairly understandable) drawbacks and some (highly typical for Tesla) recalls and issues in the first production units. Yet people seem to only be allowed to have two opinions on it: Either it's literally the worst thing ever made or it's literal perfection with zero flaws.

@datachu 2 ай бұрын

@@sprinkle61 Would charge about 4-6 times as fast on 240V though (depending on 30A or 50A circuit), and 240V is most likely available since nearly all 120V generators operate at 240V split phase and give you two 120V circuits. With that said, it's probably something they'd need to plan ahead of time to wire up, I doubt anyone onsite has thought of EV charging as a design consideration for the circuit wiring and you'll need some heavy duty cables that can carry the current of that circuit without overheating. But if all that was worked out, 80 hours / double the voltage / 3 times the current = ~13 hours of charging, not bad.

regen working much worse than you expect. It's not like "disabling fuel injection during downhill", it's about "reduce speed to about 0 to regenerate energy back". Very bad, imo.

What surprised me is the loose accelerator pedal cover recall gave the specific number of 3,878 total units delivered so far in about six months. That is way short of the initial 125K and later 250K units per year Tesla said it would produce. There must be some fairly serious impediments to volume production. Despite the low numbers delivered, owner blogs have a lot of complaining about quality control issues. The four years of resources Tesla spent on the Cybertruck probably would have been better put toward developing a less feature-rich entry level car which could have been sold globally. There are a lot of neat innovations in the Cybertruck and it does deliver top notch performance within limits of the battery capacity. Tesla is kind of stuck with the Cybertruck now, and they don’t have the entry level car that investors have been hoping for. It is a little late to be getting into the global entry level market now because BYD and other Chinese makers already have a large presence and the mind share granted by being there first.

If anyone is curious, ~3800 trucks were recalled because if you stomped on the gas hard enough to break the grip off the top of the pedal, it was possible to wedge the grip into the front of the footwell in a way that wedged the throttle on. So far it caused no issues, but it could potentially be dangerous.

Hats off to you guys for taking an EV truck to Death Valley. I was planning a trip to Death Valley in my Toyota Rav4 Prime and and I was looking for places to charge and I was like man what a nightmare. I just said forget charging. I think a PHEV is PERFECT for Death Valley. The Rav4 can pretty much go anywhere in Death Valley if you are brave enough it has 500+ mile range so you don't have to get range anxiety. Even when I ride my motorcycle through death valley I get range anxiety. I'm jealous you guys went to Cerro Gordo, when I was riding my motorcycle up the back end in Saline Valle of it which is extremely steep and rocky I ran into snow and ice. When I ran into enough of it I decided to turn around. I didn't know it was much easier on the other side. So what the Cybertruck fun to drive off road? Was it comfy on those bumpy rocky roads? I know the rav4 I had to air down it was so bumpy on those small SUV tires.

I got the first hotel on the left around 4:00 pm, cooled down and passed out for the night. When I got up I had NO KEYS!!! After panicking for about 10 minutes, I went out to my bike, that was parked right on the road, and found my keys in the trunk of my bike, when’re they had been since 4:00 pm the previous day. When in he led out the manger asked if I found my keys because he saw them in my bike the night before. What a wonderful little town. EDITED for grammatical errors.

Also, you can store electricity by gas and a gas generator, diesel and a diesel generator, or you can simply carry a couple panels with you and trickle charge long-term. However if you're trying to carry energy to make sure you don't get stranded, once you get to zero miles you still have about 40 mi left which helps, but on top of that, diesel in a diesel generator still gets about 32 mi per gallon which is really impressive.

The thing with the range is, Tesla manipulates the range estimation in all of their cars. Essentially when the battery is still quite full it will show you a wild overestimation of how much range you have left. As soon as the battery starts getting empty it will show you a much more realistic range estimate. And the cybertruck is especially bad with range estimates because it's Teslas most rushed and most stupid car and if you try to take it offroad the range estimate becomes essentially useless because the battery draw varies wildly based on the ground you are driving on, the speed, the weather etc etc.
