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.”

I want an EV offroader so bad, but I currently live in Australia. Some of my trips I'm packing 130L of fuel and this is after getting to the last planned station before hitting the wild. That can get consumed over as little as 200km depending on conditions the car has to tackle.

<200 miles of aggressive highway driving is a death sentence for a 4×4 in Australia. Outside of recreational trips near cities or big towns, mileage like this would put you at high risk.

I also live in Australia and I think you're forgetting what 99% of vehicles are used for. I can't even remember the last time I was more than 50km from a fuel station.

Nope. It's unusual that your brain would think that.

I can't even remember the last time I was more than 50km from a fuel station.

If you think that's nothing to be concerned about, I wouldn't worry. Maybe check in with a GP if it keeps happening.

So, anyway, back to the practicality of EV range—especially a Cybertruck—in common off-road conditions. Or was that your input? Sharing what your brain does? Yeesh.

He didn't forget. You just couldn't resist doing that superior aussie bullshit, even when it's your countryman.

65 l/100km... Holy shit, a Bugatti Veyron running at top speed over 400km/h is consuming 122 l/100km.

That's insane

Yup. Terrain is much different to a road, speed is slow, revs are high. The engine has to do a lot more work over much less distance.

A decent mileage to cross the Simpson Desert is around 20-25l/100km for vehicles that do around 10-12 on road. And that's mostly still using established tracks where speed stays up fairly well and revs stay moderately low overall.

I don't know what you're driving but even driving in the Himalayas at 12000ft would give you more range per 100L than that

Sounds like they have a loaded up landcruiser or similar, and maybe are towing?

I have a loaded up (and I mean fully loaded) Nissan, towing, and i get about 400km to every 60ltrs. Not good.

Hybrid Land Cruiser?
