Range Super Low? Lariat ER at 1.7kwh

[Avocadodude]

Not to add another “slow down” comment, but as a fellow California commuter that 80mph is rough( and I drive the 5 between San Diego and OC where minimum speed is 80). My MYP is no better at that speed. In fact I think overall my Lightning does better than my MYP given I have 1000 lbs of tools in it.

I can confidently say that if nothing else, it ain’t gonna be a $40k truck.

It also got delayed again today. Not due for mass production until 2024. I have a feeling it's going to be plagued with issues.

I keep saying a lot of Tesla owners who get their Cybertruck will be in for a rude awakening. Or will Musk surprise us ?

Well I still have an early reservation, but figure the Lightning will be about 8 years old by the time my reservation comes up. ?

I’m not sure what you’re doing wrong. I’m on AT tires and my Truck is a perpetual motion machine.

it didn't get delayed again today. it's on track to start production by end of summer 2023 with mass production next year.

Yesterday , 50 degrees, 43 miles, average speed 64 mph, with some stop and go, climate and heated seat on and off. I got 2.4 mi/Kwh. I can hypermile around 3.2 if I am careful.
When I get the happy feet and do 80, I have seen as low as 1.5 But your numbers are slightly lower than mine. I am guessing due to tires.

CyberTruck ain’t coming, folks.

1.7mpk seems right for AT tires and speeds over 75.

Obviously you were driving backwards. It's what's known as the "Ferris Bueller Effect."

its late, but they didn't buy the giant IDRA giga-press for nothing.

You have to remember...Elon's concept of "late" (or delayed) differs from everyone else's....

Woah - this thread turned sideways quickly. I wasn't trying to bash my f150 and be a Tesla Fanbois. I am honestly trying to find if others are finding regular driving resulting in such lower range vs EPA estimates when not in extreme conditions. I thought maybe blue cruise was inefficient. Bad software etc. I really like my f150 and I like it better than the Rivian.

Btw. FWIW my Tesla X is almost 7,000 pounds (6200) and yes I used it as a truck
Towed thousands pounds of fruit, multiple barrels.
And... once used it to tow a stuck forklift out.

Has anyone done a test on Range impact of the AT vs AW tires? I couldn't really find a concrete answer on my searches.

Did your Tesla have All Terrain tires?

Yup - that's what I am trying ti figure out.

My real goal is to go down the 101 in CA 200miles from my house to the ranch. I figure over time battery degradation will go down 10 to 15% so I will need to go 220 to 230 miles plus I found out the hard way that at 5% the ford stops going full speed and can't be on highway. Also always charging to 100% wears batter down faster.

I am supposed to get 320/270miles. thus I figured I would have plenty of headroom

So if it is the AT vs. AW tires reducing my range by 10% then maybe I am ok. When the battery degrades by 10% my tires will probably need to be replaced and I can switch to AW and get that range back.
