Ok, I expected the Tesla range to be horrible, which it was, but I did NOT expect it to cost more to recharge than to refill the Ram with diesel. What a joke đ€Ł
-
Wait until the govt starts adding road taxes to each recharge at the same rate they tax gasoline.
-
The Ram is the right tool for the job, the Cybertruck is the right job for a tool.
-
Having to unhook the trailer just to charge is crazy
-
So from San Francisco to LA it takes 14 hours with a Cyber truck. Takes a Cummins 7 hours. So not only are you saving time. Youâre saving money. And youâre towing safer.
-
"we're low on power captain. 10 miles until next charging station" "Kill the lights and radio, divert all power to the main engine" "I captain, on your mark" "Engage"
-
The cyber truck is made for showing off on sunset boulevard, where the bullet proof qualities come in too.
-
Looks like it's gonna take longer to charge than it did to get there.
-
The Tesla is a truck designed by people who have never driven a truck for people who have never driven a truck
-
So every hour I drive towing, I gotta stop another hour to recharge....Im gonna get so Fat and broke eating at Service Stations....đ
-
My wife said it best, "might as well go back to horse and buggy." lol.
-
I don't own a truck yet, but I really enjoyed this video. I liked the way the hosts communicate their moment-by-moment experience and compared in real-time.
-
Your "Trip cost comparison" at the end should include "time to refill/recharge" to 100%. I don't know many people who place absolutely ZERO value on their time. In fact, for many of us, our time wasted is not simply income lost - but opportunities lost as well. Great job though guys - as usual. đđ»
-
I live in California and can attest⊠most Cybertruck drivers have never bought a truck before and canât drive it well.
-
That Semi setup near the end of the video was so sick. đ It would be a dream to have something like that to live in
-
You forgot that your time is worth at least $50 an hour as well. Making the Tesla cost at least 4x to tow with per mile.
-
Cool, so if you take a family trip from the east coast to sayâŠYellowstone and back is 3,400 miles. 85 mile recharges means 40 stops @ 1.5 hours each = 60 hours of charging, and 40 times hitching and unhitching your trailer. Fun !
-
1 hour of towing and over an hour of recharge. Pioneers moved faster. TFL thank you for your honest reviews.
-
You're the best when it comes to these honest, real world tests. You guys think the recharge cost is surprisingly high...wait until peak rates hit 5x in about 4 years!! Ask the Norwegians...not as rosy as people want to think.
-
... Starts chucking weight out of the truck as it hits the offramp. "ditch the ballast, dump the sandbags, I got another 600 yards. We're almost dead, empty the water tanks". I guess we're about 5 years off from towing more than an hour. I'll check back then.
