Tesla Cybertruck autonomy test showed that the car travels 20% less than stated, and this is under close to ideal conditions

But this is typical for most electric vehicles

The first Tesla Cybertruck is already appearing on the roads, and one of the cars has been tested for autonomy. It turned out that it was significantly lower than stated. 

Tests were carried out on a twin-engine version with Foundation tires. The entire process was recorded on video and posted on YouTube without editing. Result — more than 5 hours on the road and 408 km.  

To begin with, it’s worth saying that for the specified version Tesla talks about a power reserve of 515 km, that is, in reality the result was 20% lower than stated. Secondly, in general, this is normal for almost any car, since automakers conduct their tests according to certain standards, which are often not very close to real car use scenarios.

Thirdly, in this test the conditions were as favorable as possible for the car: temperature about 7 degrees, constant speed of 112 km/h, autopilot disabled, one person in the car and no cargo. It is also worth mentioning that the test was carried out at night, that is, in the absence of traffic, so the car could not replenish the charge through recuperation, but at the same time it did not waste additional energy on constant acceleration.
