How far can the CYBERTRUCK tow 11,000lbs in Freezing Weather?
Today we have the brand new Tesla Cybertruck, and we'll be doing the hardest thing an EV Truck can do - Tow 11,000lbs in below freezing weather. How much can the Cybertruck tow? How far can the Cybertruck tow? Well today we find out the answer to both of those questions.
Tesla usually gives out some pretty nice perks when ordering through a referral code: ts.la/zack10701
This is a Dual Motor All Wheel Drive CyberTruck. The Vehicle was charged up to 100% the night before this test. (The Cybertruck Probably reached 100% around 2am in the morning, and then sat in my garage for about 6 hours or so while still plugged in, before coming out of the garage and being connected to the trailer.

" the more i drive it . the more i like my Rivian " that's the real output of this video
Indeed.
Exactly, if one person didn't like it, no one else will, amirite ? also "eLoN bAd" 🤓
elon bad give me like
However Rivian will probably be alive for about 18 more months at current cash burn.
That part
The cabin noise is intense! 😬
You are correct
@@JerryRigEverythingnice video thank you. But use metric please..Most of the planet does not know what is lb (and why it is equal to pound), foot, gallon etc... 😢
@@yurttgjk It's an American only truck, driving on American roads, posted by an American KZheadr, to a mostly American audience.
@@yurttgjk Google may be able to help you find these conversions
Probably gears in the motor drives. I could seeactive noise canceling on EVs become more common.
Snapping the bungie cord and saying "that's not going anywhere" is the funniest thing I've seen in a while, thank you 😂
That bungie snap was a great addition.
That was a great moment of the video. I can really appreciate this guy, he know how to properly tow a trailer safely unlike most people.
It was so unexpected which made it even funnier.
He has that trailer loaded wrong. If it cannot handle tongue weight it is useless!!
if you don't do it, it will explode.
1:51 The bungee cord was hilarious
EVs are only good for in-town work.

Rivian should slap that quote on their next ad: "The more I drive it (the Cybertruck) the more I like my Rivian" - Zack
He's the only one I hear say that due to the steer by wire being fawned on from everyone. Especially those without experience in trucks. It is weird to me he literally thought he was driving the tri motor the entire time? Anyway someone told me the firmware side of things wasn't ready. Got people telling me how much Tesla can upgrade their vehicle les through updates on driving characteristics, and range. I don't know I am skeptical on how much of an improvement people will get. Should have been 100‰ at the price. Everyone hates the rear view mirror. Hah.
You will be honked all the way at 60mph 😬
Why? It's just 1 guys opinion lmaoooo
He’s ultra biased.
@@dianapennepacker6854 OTA updates are such a sham, it's just a way to benefit the company by pushing out unfinished physical product and then spending years patching until you have something working the way it should have in the first place. Like some buggy videogame, cars should not be treated this way
8:54 those comparisons with the kids mic were hilarious ... clever and informational ... loved seeing the comparisons screens.
The Rivian is just leagues ahead compared to Cybertruck it's not even funny.
It was funny to see a guy who already kind of sounds like a radio announcer doing an impression of a radio announcer
@@Presto_001that's what happens when a toy car company tries making a truck. It's so obvious that the Cybertruck is a toy for office workers. They didn't even bother changing the software to be more fitted for truck things, such as towing or hauling more than a few kilograms.
Couldn't help feeling it was a minor jab at people like MKBHD who spoke into a unique mic in his latest vid, hah hah. Confirmed if he also makes a video about quitting KZhead
@@timpfenno Curious. I didn't pick up that angle and it doesn't seem like Zack is that type of person. I think he is a dad and just being funny.
All those cameras, at all those different places, with cinema edition... Man, what a show!
As I recall, you mentioned it cost you $13.00 to charge the CT at home to 100%, then got @ 90 miles of range (along with a ton of anxiety). Presumably it would cost more at a commercial charging station, then to go say 500 miles you would need to make six stops (how long would it take to charge back to 100% at each stop, not counting unhitching and re-hitching the trailer) so @ $72.00 in charging costs. Pretty obvious to me why an ICE vehicle makes a hell of a lot more sense for ANY towing operation.
I feel like most ICE trucks get something like ~25mpg when towing, so a 500 mile trip would take ~20 gallons. At a flat $3 a gallon that's $60. Not too different from the electric truck, unless you're doing it all the time. (Although the ICE vehicle is a lot cheaper up front as well)
@@josiahgibson6373 No, it’s half that at best. When I tow, it’s 8-10mpg (gasoline truck towing 6-7k lbs). But even if it were 4-5x the cost, I wouldn’t even consider using an electric truck for towing needs.
@@josiahgibson6373 I think the ICE trucks win in that they have larger tanks so you end up saving time in refueling, which to some people is a lot of money
@@shinhochulpUK towing, mitsubishi shogun with a 3.2 diesel and get 25 - 28mpg when towing 3500kg (7000lbs). You guys really missed out on the power of diesel in the US.
I did the road trip on a Mach e and had to stop every 1.5 to 2 hrs from Az to Central Valley to Bay Area . 8 stops total. Some areas there’s no fast chargers. And it lead me to 3 unusable chargers that were down. Took 40min to charge to 80% and off we go. Total 20hr to get there. Price $35 average charge cost each time. Almost 2x cost of a gas car. Worst was Central Valley Stockton Walmart was back up and a line to charge cars. Safe average milage is every 130 miles per charge. As I didn’t want to wait another hour charging from 80% to 100%
"That's not going anywhere" - brilliant gag. Thanks for the laughs Zach
As a HC-130 Load Master I concur. I've carried fuel trucks in the back on chain restraints, on a good day we d-rate the 10K chains down to 7,500 with the angle of pull loss and we require 8x the weight of the load for forward restraint and 3x for aft restraint and always in even sets of chains. For example: a 20K truck in the back we would use 22 chains for forward restraint and 8 for aft restraint with a total of 30 chains for a 20K package. It takes awhile. When in doubt "stick it in H compartment."
I was worried for half a second. "He can't be serious." He got me.
I thought he meant the truck.)
As a drone pilot myself, i'd imagine the drone operator in this video had the biggest smile on their face getting those mountain shots. What a view. Great video!
You're not a pilot of a toy. You pilot a plane not a drone.
@@spammerscammernot sure if you’re trolling or just ignorant. Drones can be toys, but they can also be commercial equipment carrying large cinema cameras, gimbals, etc. Anyone flying a drone for money has a certification/license from the FAA. The word “pilot” is not exclusive to those who fly Cessnas or commercial jets.
Yup! @@inzane.hanson You “pilot” any flying vehicle and you “drive” any driving vehicle
Yeah and you'll never pilot either drone or plane.@@spammerscammer
Kind of a stretch to consider yourself a pilot. But you be you.
I agree most Cybertruck owners won't be towing but when towing, it must be agravating having to slow down to draft behind slow moving diesels just to make it somewhere.
Come on though - so much of this sounds like an ICE cope. How *FAST* would you tow 11,000 pounds. In an ICE truck with friction brakes an ZERO regen..... ???? Then how much will the next set of brakes cost?
I wish more people understood towing trailers as good as you put it. Nicely done.
I love seeing a HMMWV in it's natural environment. Being towed.. Brings back Army memories. 🤪
LMAO
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus amen brotha
Towed back to the motor pool 😂 you shouldn't have been ofo
I remember thinking they were really cool when Schwarzenegger got one, but then I was a small child and didn't have any more than a couple of magazine articles to go on. :D
90 whole miles. What a workhorse! Totally worth 100K!
ev pickup truck . ready to sell to the working man!
@@plutodestroyer12 For the average homeowner, the Ford Maverick is all the truck they would ever need and that things already $10k too expensive for what you get.
My one ton duly gas powered truck would only go a 125 miles with that big of a load.😂
But it's how long it takes to refuel. That's the diff
and you don't have to remove the trailer too @@Robert-cu9bm
In my own electric pickup I get about 1/3 during towing. That from a very non-stream lined pickup. Wild times. Company diesel rigs are similar.
Wow, would be great if the Tesla design team watches this. You gave some great critique and many ideas. What a resource, free of charge for the company.
They would have to completely redesign the production process to make this a nice vehicle 😂🤣
Too bad they won’t 😂
Lol they don't care they just pushed it out to satisfy the fan boys
Tesla has redesigned the "entire" production process - are you people stuck on stupid? @@sam-po7rx
Too late.
That whining noise would get real tiring real quick. When you switched to the Rivian shot it was amazing how much quieter it is than the Tesla.
Rivian with summer tires vs winter tires on the CyberTruck - now put winter tires on the "Rivian." And the Rivian is at least 10x louder. Write that down.
Yeah, kinda like the annoying humming from a V8….
@@johnkimball7000 I drive a Lexus GX with a V8 engine. It is quiet and smooth, the only problem with V8 engines is when you chop up the exhaust and put high flow performance exhausts on that drone at highway speeds. That is tiring on a long drive. That whining noise would get tiring too. No thanks.
But it wasn't under load.
@@MR-nl8xrYou are right, it was nit under the same load. Rivian was towing 3000lbs. It says right there on the screen
The bungee and “it’s not going anywhere“ got me 🤣

Me too, LMAO 😅
Not really funny.
That deep hum is the straight gear whine to car enthusiast 😩😩😍😍😂😂
Great video...we all drive like we own the road occasionally! Especially in our yoinger days...i too offer those wise words having survived
Imagine towing cross country and having to charge every 90 miles, and having to detach the trailer every time you charge 😆
Pain in the rear. Just as I thought, these EVs are better suited just for city commutes.
@@walden6272 just get a smart then and not a truck 😂
@@p__jay I still have my Jeep. :) Nothing is better.
Im pretty sure at this point it would be impossible to go across the entire country, the infrastructure isnt quite there yet

This will be the gold standard of Cybertruck tests, you've already brought up many things no body else has !

Wait until the FastLaneTruck guys get ahold of one. Fanboys aren't going to be happy.
@@JohnSmith-zi9or - The Tesla fanboys are noticeably absent in this discussion thread.
@@JohnSmith-zi9oryeah, there is a reason Tesla didn't give any review samples to real auto reviewers and we have to wait for production units to find out things like build quality, towing range, cabin noise, etc...
You know what would be neat too. If you try this same test again in 5 years, same truck, same battery same load. If of course your CT lasts that long.
All the reasons to not go EV are just growing every time I watch a real world use video!
The idea is new tech is supposed to be better than what it's trying to replace. They aren't.. just a giant waste of money.
@@3UZFE Depends, the early adopters fall into two categories. Either they are rich multi-million/billionaires where money is not a issue or they are morons who are going into debt over these EV playtoys. These early adopters are important as they will fund the inevitable leap in battery tech to make these vehicles useful.
EVs are trash. It's all hype. When I've spoken to real owners of EVs they've had nothing but complaints about how utterly inferior they are. I'll opt for an EV when it performs on par with a petrol or diesel-powered vehicle.
@@3UZFEEXACTLY! Why would someone want to pay the same price or even more for a product that's monumentally inferior to a gas or diesel vehicle? I guess there are plenty of stupid people in the world with too much money.
While I normally don't dare question truckers given that, as a hatchback person, we clearly live in different universes. I do think "real world" needs to be put into perspective. A 2021 Axios study on F150 drivers found that 7% of people use their truck to tow regularly, 29% sometimes, and 63% never tow anything. Other most frequent use cases: 87% use it to shop for errands, 50% for commuting and 70% for pleasure driving. Granted, I live in a city, but pickups are extraordinarily common here. The issue with the trucks here(and across the US according to the above stat) is that they are a fashion statement rather than a utility. Their main purpose is just as a flex on other pickup drivers. In those cases, an EV truck checks their boxes while fixing the issue of commuting with 14mpg while not actually taking advantage of the reason the engine takes 14mpg. For those who use Pickups as a utility, y'all clearly are gonna stick to your truck for at least 12+ years (as you clearly actually use them) and by 2036, I am sure ev tech will evolve enough to become worthy of being a utility to those who do actually drive 500 miles a day towing 14,000 pounds.
The production and camera work in this video is absolutely insane.
One of the reasons his videos are so popular is the effort they put into the camera work and editing!
Thank you!
I’m sure he has a team
@@michaeltuffin8147 Of course but watching all his videos sure gives a sense of his organizational skills and effort he puts in.
Lol seriously? 😂
It is clearly not practical for anyone but a rich KZheadr with no obligations but making a video. Diesel trucks are still state of the art.
Downright$45 going on what i would spend $160 on its a significant savings... by it my time is valuable, driving 90 miles to charge for 40 minutes is a total deal breaker while towing... im a contractor, i was really hoping to have the CT be my next truck... 90 miles isn't even from my acreage to my clients homes in the city........... :/ (granted, in not towing that much either, but still..)
Diesels have been going downhill since 2010. I drive a mack everyday and it's awesome apart from the emissions crap.
Every time I see the Cybertruck in one of these types of videos, it just compounds my hatred for it more. Everything about it is offensive. Range. Design. Aesthetics. Noise. It's awful. It's the worst looking vehicle ever designed by humans.
Just give us a hybrid. Diesel electric or something idc. Been begging ford for it for years
Until you pay a mechanic for the repair😂😂
I'm running my 1990 Volvo 245, station wagon, now over 240k miles logged, in freezing weather getting 22 mpg. It doesn't geofence me, monitor me, report me, assist my driving or influence my destination times/choices/politics. I can fix almost ANY maintenance it needs with simple garage tools and people have approached me wanting to buy it for more than I paid.
I have a really great film camera people want to buy for more than I paid but what does that have to do with an electric vehicle that can tow?
I had a VW rabbit diesel back in the day and it rusted in two years and was garbage. Since we are providing pseudo relevant anecdotes.
Thanks for adding metric units to the video!

Sounds fun. Short range, an hour to charge, having to reduce speed to make it to charger, charger full when you get there. Best part is watching other pick ups whizzing by pulling trailers.
Maybe consider the possibility that he isn't flooring it or is that too hard to grasp? Most pickup drivers speed like all hell, he's probably going the speed limit
@@mgord9518 because he wouldn't make it 50 miles if he drove over 65 lol
People seem to always forget the point of this. If we only cared about what’s the most fun everyone would be driving around in monster trucks without any form of pollution control towing at 2mpg. The point of all this is two fold. It’s to reduce the strain on fossil fuels, a non renewable resource, and to reduce costs. Unfortunately I can’t bring up the third thing it does because everyone flips out.
@@popermen694Stop calling it fossil fuels, oil is the second most plentiful liquid resource besides water on Earth. It’s an amazing lie to keep prices high, because according to science we should have ran out by now.
@@Matticitt Or maybe that he didn't want to publish himself breaking the law? He's obviously not trying to make the Cybertruck look better than it actually is
Ouch and that's at mid 30 degrees, what we up north consider a warm day for 6 months of the year. Need to see this type of test done somewhere with real winter temps, like -25 to -40 degrees. Great vid Jerry.
What you are actually saying is: in winter, real winter, this 100k+ truck is actually just a paperweight
@@blackfacegaming191 Yep, it's coming out in Alberta you lose about 30%-40% in colder temperatures. Also at -40 there's videos of EVs saying nope too cold and shutting down on the highway.
EVs are d.o.a. during acrual winter days. What a joke. Fools buy that garbage thinking they are so advanced...smh
@@absolutefreedom9437 Yeah man, because something doesn't work well in -40 °C weather then it's useless. Even though like nobody important actually lives in those temperatures.
@@drunkenhobo8020 That name seems to fit😂. A) That's an incredibly arrogant statement B) The reason those of is who live in the northern climates point this stuff out is because the "important" people who don't live are trying to force everyone into these vehicles. See Washington State for example.
So I could drive 90 miles and charge for 40 minutes or Drive 350 miles and fill up in 5 minutes. Gee, tough decision.
I appreciate that you always converted miles to km
Multiply 1.6093 the miles to be transformed. Example: 120 mph x1. 6093
I do appreciate the "Thats no going anywhere" comment when loading. It is required.
I actually guessed 90miles. Wow! I was hoping it would go 95-98, but man, it's definitely on the low end!
Cool review. I'm looking at buying Rivian so it was great to hear you favor the Rivian over Cybertruck. :)
I think the most glaring issue is the cabin noise. That’s a loud boy!
But what about all that talk that EVs are so quiet due to no engine?

How cold is it? I recently talked to a ford salesman about a Lightning. He tested it in some of our cold Canadian winter weather. He wanted to test the range in our -40C winter weather. Truck was parked and charged in the dealership garage over night. That morning he made it 20 miles and turned around. Almost didn’t make it back to the dealership on the charge. That that was pretty interesting. I know they have a place, but I find it amazing how true winter weather destroys the range.
Yep. Not for Canada. But hey, if it's too cold, just puncture the battery! ;)
@@SemiMono My Duramax gets over 500 miles pulling trailers that heavy or more in negative anything lol, no reduction in mileage because of the weather. But I guess I'm not some cool City slicker.
@@SemiMono Modern EV batteries don't start on fire with destruction.
Chemistry in the battery electrolytes degrade VERY rapidly at -40C. @proletariat9467 Just like diesel and gasoline. G2 or Type 2 Diesel starts to crystalize it's wax at low temp, where Type 1 won't, but neither are freeze proof and -40C is very rapidly approaching not just fuel freezing, but other fluids and parts as well. Material strength of various other parts of your truck will brittle. May not be a city slicker, and you may can go a LOT farther then an EV, but there are limits to lots of things and -40 Celsius is a point most anything won't tolerate.

i thought that was your truck for a second. lol man i never see zach driving and yet i feel i live in the same valley as him
We need a 3-5 types of each vehicle, since they have different "trims" for each model, also we need the test's re-done next year, when they improve everything on them, so end of winter or start of winter/end of the year next year depending on how they pan the changes, if they announce more changes to the end of the year, we will need to wait.
Truck? I thought it was a waste management bin
how about a faceoff between CyberJerry, RivianJerry and LightningJerry

Or when it wasn't so cold.
@kevino6416 I think the cold was part of the test considering he tested the Rivian in the same type of conditions. And the Ford has has so many issues with consistency in production they aren't in the same area. That being said I'm a Ford guy but they are having huge issues with the batteries not degrading. Elon is smart and does take feedback well so there is no ? This truck will be great. That being said I do not understand how everyone pushing so hard for these clean vehicles aren't interested in how or where the minerals come from 90 percent come from Chinese controlled mines in the Congo that are don in the most inhumane conditions and environmentally harmful way possible esp the cobalt mines. But activist only care about what they are told to care about its truly unreal. In our culture it's more inhumane to accidentally misgender someone than worry about the amount of human trafficking going on especially at our southern border with the cartels taking young women and boys and forcing the rest of the family to cross the border or die our priorities are so backwards. Not saying electric isn't the way forward but at what cost to humanity
Thanks for helping me to decide against getting an EV.
holy shit someone finally testing a truck, like a truck. Thank you!

The range rating that you see there on the left there is not a ‘guess-o-meter” the way that it is in many other vehicles. It’s actually just the battery percentage with the vehicles standard rated range. You can tap the number to change it to % or miles value. The ui has changed a lot since I have been dailying a Tesla but if you go to the consumption graph it should show the expected range which is almost always going to be different then the rated range
The interesting thing is 32F isn't even all that cold, and not where EV's really start to suffer. I'd love to see what it gets in like 0F (I'd guess about 50-60mi). Towing trailers and campers, particularly in the winter is extremely popular, so this was good to see.
32°F isn't really freezing so not really a true test.
Was in the -40's Celsius here for more than a week. I'd like to see him do it in that.
@@foghornleghorn2445 agree. it gets pretty damn cold here too, well below 0, so thats the kind of thing I'd like to see for the electric vehicles, cars or trucks. I'm honestly considering a car eventually. I like the idea of less maintenance (no oil changes, fluid flushes, belts, etc). I only put about 8000/yr on my car, almost never long trips, so an electric vehicle would be right up my ally. I do see people in my area with them, Teslas, Rivians, etc, so they must do well.
Yes , -20 to -40F in Minnesota, we tow icefishing houses and snowmobiles all the time. Often stay overnight in that weather fishing, how will it run after sitting in that weather. Likely need to plug it to a gas generator overnight to keep batteries warm and get some range to get home.
@@Wontreplyeverdontbother I'll wait for the Ramcharger, 92K battery with the v6 motor/generator that feeds off a 27 gallon tank. No long recharging stops required, just stop for gas, but if electricity is available and you have time, you can charge as well. I like GMC/Chevy idea of a pass through between cab and truck bed. Very nice for a topper or camper if designed right for camping, get heat and AC off the truck, even better if plugged in at a camp ground. Nice for overland adventure, save battery for camping and drive to location on gas, no night time generator/motor noise. I do like tesla stainless steel body, no rust issues up north.

Jerry, what happens if you are driving the Cybertruck and the battery runs completely out of charge and goes dead? My Uncle had a 1972 Buick Electra, and when it ran out of gas on the road it was scary. It happened to me one time. The steering and brakes were full power, and when the car stalled, it took all my strength at age 21,being in good shape, to control the brakes and steering just to it get off the road, and would take several people to push it at all. Consider that owners of the Electra were middle aged and older . Weight was about 5000lbs.with the 455 cid engine.
It's possible that when you're in towing mode, that it is lowering the speed on purpose. Also I noticed that the trailer tires were bumpy which could have been the feedback you felt.
Not sure if anybody has said this, but HUGE THANK YOU to the owner who let JRE use this vehucle for the purposes of this video. We appreciate you!!!
hope it doesn't run over any kids and construction workers when he's looking at his dashboard or phone while "auto"piloting
it looks like @ourcyberlife 's cybertruck. You should check out their channel. It's great
@@jonessiihave you ever been inside a tesla ? Do you have any idea how smart those cars are 💀
@@jio7270 Do you not remember the controversy that happened back when some testing showed it would?
@@jio7270I bet you NEED a smart car. For reasons obvious to most people.
Loving all the extra camera angles in the video. It did not go unnoticed. Keep it up.
hey jerry you said steer by wire a lot in this video. Is that system different from power steering? why is it different, better, worse and why is it mentioned so much? The tesla that I own is steer by hand so I wanna make sure i'm ok
15:53 I know every other Tesla owner was happy when Cybertruck rolled by! hahahaha
Just seeing those Utah mountains with snow; gorgeous. I never get tired of seeing them.
Go live there then.
@@bigman4407 lmao this dude.
Maybe I do? @@bigman4407
I love the effort you go to with all the camera angles, drone shots etc, thumbs up for that👍
Wow… I am digging the color. Cool
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Rivian Jerry and Lightning Jerry are fun. You should invite them more often on the show.
The scariest thing about this video is going 60mph on I-15 though the Wasatch front, even if you go 80 through there you'll be passed like you're standing still by most of the cars there
8:41 idd the cybertruck at 65 mph and a white pick-up with a car hauler went by so fast. Almost german autobahn 🙂
@@Blockiee There is a 130 km/h, 82mph speed limit on many parts of the German Autobahn system these days, there's just too many people to go flat out all the time. The best place to find the old school no speed limits Autobahn is in the old East Germany, it's less developed than the western regions.
I hope when Edison Motors comes out with their diesel electric truck conversion you get to test it as well. I love their open source and right to repair philosophy. Also having a diesel generator means that you don’t have to worry about dropping the trailer or no charging slots open. I honesty think hybrids are going to be the norm for trucks, not full EV.
Nah. Batteries are developing at a rapid pace now that people are investing into them.
I agree. Diesel/Electric hybrids are the way to go for trucks for at least the next 20 years. Way more practical and a proven solution just look at freight trains.
Honestly its surprising we didn't have diesel electric hybrids 10+ years ago considering trains have been powered that way for over 50 years and we had the battery technology to do it. I love that they're trying to retrofit older diesels that were built to last forever to keep them on the road longer while burning cleaner
@@LukeA_55 It would of lowered profits. Thats why hybrids and electrics basically havent been a thing. Only reason why they're moving over now is Tesla is forcing them to.
I'm looking forward to that nice "earth tone" (NOT rusty!) finish in a few years. Thanks ELON! 😆 🤣 😂
7:23 the owner profusely sweating watching this video right now 😂
Imagine how crazy it is just randomly seeing a Cybertuck carrying a military Humvee on the highway
And then you pull up beside it and OMG JERRY!
@@Raptor-Jesus haha just like the end of the vid
I absolutely drove passed by this on I-15 in Utah and was super confused. And here a few days later it is on my feed on KZhead…..
@@viernesb must have been a real shock to you. sorry to hear
And then you get passed by someone in a Prius because the CyberTruck sucks. Lmao 😂
I feel like the trailer brake would be a big variable in range comparison with that much stopping. I know you need one to be safe, but it doesnt get all the momentum back into the battery. Need a regen trailer that stores its own braking into a battery for later use
As much as I don't like Tesla products, you did a great job on this video, especially the drone shots, those were awesome.
So basically you could almost get from one side of the Los Angeles Metropolitan area to the other if there was no traffic and you found a way around the various mountain passes (which isn't really possible.) Just get an f250 if you wanna tow stuff.
trucks are expensive, so im not going to have 2 for myself. I'd rather have a cybertruck than an ford so I'd like the cybertruck to be able to do what the ford can
You will get further on a battery if there *is* traffic
@@swecreationsna cause they lie about the actual milage of their vehicles
@@swecreations you saw the video right? He got less mileage
@@mrunknown3414 Well that's literally how electric cars work, slower means you get further.
That hum at 7:20 remind me of gear box sound, when it is overloaded the gear makes that sound, also reminded me of DeLorean.
what a camera do you use? great pic
7:37 this might be poor fixation of coil winding in either a choke or a transformer within the inverters. It is often heared on electric trains too. While accelerating the inverter pumps more current to the motors (and when regenerative braking too) which causes windings to vibrate more under the Lorentz force.
Im happy to hear that Rivian actually makes a good product. More EV makers the better. Although the issue you had with the bed and stuff falling inside would drive me nuts!
Yes you like your Rivian. . . but what are you going to do when they close their doors ? We have a 2020 Tesla Model 3, dual motor, high performance that is driven for work about 72 miles per day. We are in cold country, western South Dakota/ According to the vehicle's computer at 46,000 miles the overall average power consumption was 0.249 kilowatts per mile (0259 watts) This includes heating during winter operation. We pay an average of 12.54 cents per kilowatt, so the cost has been 3,12 cents per mile. Most of the driving is highways.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing
I grew up in utah county and still live here, and I LOVE those mountain shots from the air. What a cool perspective.
The production and filming of this video is simply beautiful. Thank you !
What sense does a range comparison make when you change your speed arbitrarily?
@jerryrigeverything what city are you filming in? The mountains are beautiful!
I’m not sure if someone has said this to you. It’s delightful to have someone speak about simple and complicated things simply. That’s some good communication skittles 😂
