Tesla Cybertruck manages just 409 km in independent range test

The EPA estimate of the Tesla Cybertruck is 320 miles (515 km).

A Tesla Cybertruck was recently put to the test to check its real-world range. As per reports, the large electric truck with a massive 124 kWh battery returned just 254 miles (409 km) of range when driven on the highway.

The test took place in Texas and was done at night to ensure weather and traffic wouldn't be a consideration. Reports state the Cybertruck was put into cruise control at 70 mph for 4 hours, before running out of charge. Once the truck ran out of charge, it exited the highway but continued to run a few miles at lower speeds. The Cybertruck wasn't willing to drive above 35 mph with a low battery.

The full highway range test of the Tesla Cybertruck was live-streamed on YouTube, lasting around 5 hours.

The EPA estimate of the Tesla Cybertruck is 320 miles (515 km). However, the estimate is an average of the ranges after a full battery worth of highway driving and full battery city driving. As per EPA, the Cybertruck is expected to offer around 390 miles of city driving range.
